Wanting to purchase a portable hyd. hose machine. All the parts stores around here use gates. Checked on a new one with basic fiittings and dyes up to 3/4 in. $12,000. Anybody know of a source to get a used or refurbished machine?
Unless you are planning to make hoses for extreme pressure, why not just use the screw on fittings?

That is really interesting. I never see screwons around machinery these days. I thought they must have fallen victim to regulation.
I realise working pressures have gone up on the modern gear, but wayback they were all we used out in the sticks. We standardised on about three different sizes of hose and basic fittings. Then, with a selection of preformed blanks, bends and adaptors, you could silversolder together almost any configuration that was needed.
If the screwons are still available why don't folks use them so much these days?
Cheers.
