Russ, my labor rate out east is $90.00 per hour but from what I see it varies depending on region.

Some line boring pics from this afternoon, AKERMAN scrap handler boom.

Should finish in the morning.

Thats real onsite workHow will the bar handle those inside bores? Will you need another bearing in there or will it cut without chatter? Nice work!

Ray, I cut one side with no problem, the bearing span is about 36". Thanks.

Thats what I was thinking, the dealers are 110 out here. And we do better work anyway. Thanks for the reply.

Finished up AKERMAN boom this morning.

From the look of your work Tom you should get them very often, goes a long ways towards making a person feel good.

First off great work, next, is there anything you can't fix or refuse to fix? By the looks of what's been posted your a master of your trade and then some, there's nobody around me I know of that can tackle some of those jobs, but I was wondering if there are some even you don't attempt to tackle or is it just another challenge the harder they are?
