Great job Alex. Looks sweeet. Do you mind telling me what the cost of the metal as well as all the fasteners it took build it?
Thanks Bob

I have a guy that will water jet the parts for 150.00 but I have to supply the metal. I am in the middle of a kitchen rebuild and have not taken the time to price out parts yet. Does that sound like a good price for the water getting?

[admin]

Yes that is a good price for the service. I was quoted CA$58 (US$47) for the steel. Just make sure to ask if the steel is "tappable" as some is not as mild as others. ASTM A36 is easy to work with.

Thanks that is some good info to know
What would you guess I will spend on fasteners?

Hi Bob,
I guess it really depends on the material (e.g. zinc plated vs. stainless) and where you source the hardware. I went all stainless steel fasteners and got the fancy adjustable handles and so on at McMaster-Carr was about $130 + freight. That also included the two handles for the adjustable work rest. There were some items like flat washers where I could only get by the box even if only a few were needed. So there is some leftovers sitting in my shop.

I found it easier to order from one place and maybe have some extras than driving around to hardware stores looking.

Hey Bob sorry for late response ! life had me busy!! Dans estimate is about right , i spent 435 for cutting 357 for VFD , 125 for brandnew leeson motor on craigslist. 180ish for parts(bolts and such ) 95 for my drive wheel ,( 7 inches). 78 for idlers and tracking wheel . 65 for 12 inch contact wheel (i used a coupom). 100 for parts from metal supermarkets . 15 for alluminum table parts. !/2 inch thick table/ 1 inch thick mounts(estate sale ). 165 for hydraulic table ...and i think thats about it so about $1600 USD. but i put the profits of two knives i sold into this plus teaching a friend to make knives and supplying all the materials to do(i made some money with that ) so it was about 800 out of my pocket
