In the market for a copper prep machine?

hr

this machine. They have been around for many years under various names. I spoke with Donna this morning and she hopes to ramp up sales and marketing.

Looks to have an edge over the current offerings as far a cleaning features, and weight. Priced comparably, according to my web searches!

A smart wholesaler might drag one of these to a "gathering"

Copper Machine.

They really have been around for years. The only real saving to be had is if you had a really big job. I've had these machines on several large jobs over the years. The problem with it is getting the men to use it. In many cases it just sat there. If you had a big job, and a need for one, most of the time the men would be all over the site, usually no where near it. It's very good if you have typical installs (prefabrication). I stopped using cutters for anything over 1&1/2" years ago (On big projects) I simply use a chop saw with a carbide tip blade (expensive), but great. By using it (over 2") you can cut it. You still gotta clean it, flux it, put it together. What I like is that there is vitually no burrs made. With a cutter, (over 2") you gotta file off the burr (this is time & $$$). The best thing about chop saws is that after you put it together and leave it for an hour, (cutting w/cutter) you can't move it. With the chop saw you can usually always reposition the frame even after long periods of time with flux on it. I try not to make a habit of leaving stuff fluxed but in reality it happens..... BOC

I currently use a chop

saw also. I have used both dry cut blades and special non ferrous fine tooth carbide wheels. The work well, although they leave enough of a burr to ruin sand cloth on a regular basis. It is nice to be able to cut unistrut and wood blocks with the same tool

What appeals to me, with this machine, is the deburr tool, fitting brushes on line, and the outside cleaning feature.

I was more comparing this to the Rigid offering than a chop saw. I think once the "guys" are trained they would find the timesaving to be a big plus.
