    No OSHA, .60 cents an hour, lawsuits are rare, hard workers, very limited benefits, loose tolerances, thick paint, all in all a dang good value

    Many complain about import products but without them most of us would not have much in the way of machinery or equipment, at least initially.

    DieGuy,
    I just looked at you picture again, you can purchase storage shelves much cheaper

    I got this from Grizzly Tools. So far the assembly looks good and the quality not to bad. The only things I did was partial disassembly, debur, clean and lube it up properly with some lubriplate. Pretty heavy duty and real configurable for the money. I did take a while to show up but most of that was trucking. Pretty satisfied for the money.
