    Nice!

    You learn something new every day! I have to wonder about the price on such a machine.

    Love the Magnabend. Would like to do a CNC version. Seems ideal for smaller shops!

    Best,

    Very cool. The instructions for making one are very straightforward as well...

    That price isn't as bad as I thought would be.

    I spent some time on the inventors web site. It is an understatement to say I was pleasantly surprised about how forthcoming he was about the design of the machine. My thought is that a smaller machine might fit my needs better. At the price they are charging for the 48" machine though I suspect a DIY machine might be just as expensive. Especially when you need to figure out the hinge problem.
