For those really BIG engraving projects

[graniteguy52]

A friend found this on Missoula's Craigslist:
Maybe for "auto" engraving?

I think it useless if you can't walk around it and cut scrolls in one pass without stopping with H&C or is it just for power assist and what big things are you going to engrave? J.J.

Hmmm. I wonder if I could sell this thing for really big bucks to the Chicago Art Institute. They spend millions on all sorts of strange contemporary sculpture. Besides it would fit in with Chicago's Bean and Picasso.
Beard Polish anyone?

if i'm not mistaken, that's a pretty good deal for one of those...

I don't believe those were originally made for engraving. They were made for working on automotive and industrial products.

 

[mitch]

yes, Roger, they're made for universal positioning of big, heavy parts like injection molds, engine blocks, etc. Wilton Power-Arms are similar, but I've never seen one anywhere near that big.

This device is intended for sports. What is engraved on it? Tank tower? But maybe someone is using it. Question for what?

Be good for masks. Big ones.

Interesting. Very interesting. I like the fire engine red paint.
The price appears to be reasonable, still I could not use it...
