Full Version: It Just Dawned On Me...........
That if I built my bench with 2x4's instead of 4x4's that I could reduce my bump bench and increase my scrub radius making the whole chromoly versus fence post debate a mute topic. The only trouble I am running into on my Super Bench 2000 cad program is that when center of gravity is shifted past the bench grinder I lose the abilty to blow up my stationary 2d cresent ratchet. I have heard the "e" ratchet will resit these forces but I can't seem to get it positioned in a way to allow full access to my engine disconbobulator. Who knew building a bench could be so tough...........
Just ask CarlP, he knows everything.

screw that chromoly stuff....galvanized pipe is where it's at. Corrosion protection, and no need for that powdercoatin' stuff.

you guy's still dont get it
...put the grinder in the front and ged rid of that cresent ratchet stuff

Add bypasses. Even if it doesn't work better at least it will impress your friends.

That should give it a good 55/45 front to rear weight bias!
I might need the cresent ratchet. Mine broke tighten muffler bearings the other day. Oh, only if its left handed.
Take the center radious of infinity, and move the grinding wheel to the left side and then use a pair of Robogrips. That should do it. 
I could have saved a lot of money and time if I had seen this post last week!
Oh dammit, now I gotta start all over. Thanks, guys.
You could always hang it with sky hooks. worked fine with mine, and I put 800 psi on it 389 day a year on it.
Your fine with this set-up if you rewire the grinder to spin backwards it will balance everything out perfectly.
the problem is so clear.. Your obviously using a standard cresent when you should be using a metric one.. Also check the air, to make sure your using summer air and not winter air. In the SW the winter air is far less dense..
Man, I'm glad you guys are here to help out!
This is turning out to be a hell of a lot harder than designing a sand candy chassis.

Try using a can of compression and a metric hammer...it's always worked for me. Also, add a little blinker fluid if it starts to bind up.
Also, don't forget to use the yellow handled hydraulic board stretcher to adjust the continuum transponder. That should do the trick.

You use the yellow handled one? All this time I've been using the red handled one. Maybe that's why my convexities always come out restruperated.
What angle do your convexities start restruperating?
26*? 30*? Anything over about 30* and you're doing better than most!

Didn't anyone tell you that the red handled one is not even close to running the same frequency and isn't compatible with convexities.

Actually this has been a non-issue with mine because I run the warm-treated burkonellion G-joints that are rated to 45*, thus no need for lemon straps.
Ahh.
I wanted to run those, but they aren't compatible with midboard hubs. Apparently Tatum couldn't get a patent on burkonellion G-joints so they made them incompatible.

You can get those G-joints at a cat dealer for about 20 bucks a set.
And I also use the yellow handle, but with the frequency adj. knob, it makes it easy to dial everything in that way.
