Cracked cast iron frame
I bought a small press in a junk shop for $20. I mounted it on a 2x6
and let it collect dust for a year before I started to use it to flatten sections of copper pipe. It did very well until today: There was an ominous sound and the frame cracked: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2768312...7635013299389/ No way will I admit using a cheater bar and even if I did I barely leaned on it. Anyway...Can this be repaired or is this thing done for? My understanding of welding cast iron is that it is not a free lunch. Thanks, Michael Koblic, Campbell River, BC |
