Roper Whitney Pexto model 29
« on: May 12, 2012, 08:47:45 PM »
I bought this today along with a partial Ward Machinery Co Die set.










I saw it on craigslist several weeks ago, considered it but didnt buy it. A week after that me and my cousin got a job that will require over 1300 solar panel mounting brackets. With that job I decided they would be easier to fabricate them with a machine like this. I saw this again the other day and decided to buy it to help make work easier. It is now set up in my cousins shop for use. She will be a user.


While I was there I also bought a few small user hand tools and a Wilton bandsaw but those I have at home were I dont have a camera. I will get pictures of them soon thoe.

Yeh she is deffinitly a nice machine, or so I think.

The brackets arent to bad to make, they just take time. 1300 sounds like alot but its all for a for a 82 panel system with 130 watts per panel and then extra brackets for some of the other stuff needed for the system.
