It has never been used as the guy that bought it has never wheeled anything before and is somewhat intimidated (or that's my impression anyway). On the one he has, the straps that hold the upper wheel in alignment are welded on crooked when built, (not too hard to correct) but AS/IS, proper alignment with the anvil wheel would be impossible. The current non-sale price is $349. The one I was looking at the owner said he purchased it online for $250 + freight. I have been considering building my own with a deeper throat BUT... a quality set of wheels costs more the entire HF unit. Thanks for your input dr., If you have any pics of yours post them, Thanks all. [Reply]   [No Email]

Although I did get my top wheel from a dumpster .It was a pulley from a postal machine at a large sorting facility. If you price the stuff Made in USA from someone like Fournier.it does not seem like a cheap ,fun project.But they are high quality heat treated wheels. I will try to post some pics this weekend.
