19:56 GargantuaSauce roommate was only here to sign for one though, gotta go pick the others up tomorrow
19:57 GargantuaSauce the one that came came from singapore...and the ebay seller claims to be in hong kong

20:02 GargantuaSauce think i could fit this in my living room?
20:02 Tom_itx oh sure you can
20:03 Tom_itx how bad do you want it??
20:03 robotustra_ no, you don't need this one
20:03 GargantuaSauce getting it up the stairs might be a bit difficult
20:04 robotustra_ why do you need bending machine?
20:04 Tom_itx to bend wire silly
20:04 Tom_itx duh
20:04 GargantuaSauce the answer to that is as usual in the form of a question
20:04 GargantuaSauce why not??
20:04 robotustra_ bend you wire with hands
20:04 robotustra_ this machine is too big
20:05 Tom_itx saiz you
20:05 robotustra_ there are smaller one
20:05 robotustra_ I work on such machine
20:05 robotustra_ 8 month when I came to canada
20:05 robotustra_ I was one of the best benders
20:05 robotustra_ on the plant
20:06 robotustra_ this machine is presize but very big
20:06 robotustra_ but the set of dies is terrible
20:07 robotustra_ this machine is useless without japan set of dies
20:08 robotustra_ but it can do long bends up to 2.5 m consistently
20:08 robotustra_ even longer I think
20:09 robotustra_ yes, up to 2.5
20:09 robotustra_ so, relax kids, I'm your daddy in bending
20:10 robotustra_ I worked on allsteel machine
20:12 GargantuaSauce yes but do you have one in your living room
20:13 Tom_itx i venture to say you don't either .... yet
20:13 Tom_itx better hope the floor joist will support it
20:13 GargantuaSauce 7.5 metric tons
20:13 robotustra_ http://www.sterlingmachinery.com/photos/9677.jpg
20:13 Tom_itx or it might be sitting in your basement unexpectedly
20:13 GargantuaSauce the downstairs neighbours are probably going to get acquainted with it
20:14 robotustra_ buy vise and bend in them
20:14 robotustra_ you don't need it
20:14 GargantuaSauce i have a vise
20:14 GargantuaSauce i don't have a press brake
20:14 robotustra_ so it's the best bending tool
20:14 GargantuaSauce dude i am not serious
20:14 robotustra_ I assure you you don't need it
20:14 robotustra_ me too
20:15 GargantuaSauce if i had the space and transportation and 3-phase power i totally would drop that 3 grand in a heartbeat though

21:53 GargantuaSauce when i ordered these i knew they were small
21:53 GargantuaSauce holding them in my hand has proven my idea of their size was an understatement
21:54 GargantuaSauce they're frickin tiny!
21:54 Faek Haha. I remember Jak ordered some 2mm diameter magnets once. He got them and was expecting probably 4mm diameter - just didn't fathom their size properly
21:55 GargantuaSauce it's pretty hard when you're buying stuff online
21:55 GargantuaSauce just cause you don't get to hold it in your hand
21:55 GargantuaSauce even when the dimensions are right there in front of you
21:56 GargantuaSauce anyway these are awesome. i need to make a tiny delta or something
21:57 Jentrep GargantuaSauce: what are you using those in? :)
21:57 GargantuaSauce i dunno yet

22:00 MrCurious GargantuaSauce: going to make a itty bitty CNC so if tinker-bell comes over she can be all creaative?
22:01 TheMadman 80mb :o that must be source or a very generic kernel :)
