Jerry, I use Hougen modified 12000 series M42 TiN coated cutters and have drilled [9] 7/8" holes in HARDOX 400 and still have the cutter in use. There are also rail road rail cutters available from TRAK-STAR that cut up to 400 Brinell.

How did the centre equaliser bar pin go Tom? They can be a pig to get out. Will the outer bores take a bearing or is it a machining job?

Hey Tom that crane you got makes me kind of drool lipped. But I am sure that at times you wish it was bigger.

Ray, the center pin came out easy but the outer bores do need machining.

Tom,good morning from Canadian west coast. When you installed the new Blue,did it take up much more space?

It is 4" taller, 4" wider, and 5" longer. The machine fits well on a 36" welder deck.
