    Machine Considering Buying a King 1236ML Looking for Opinions

    @Proxule pretty much spoke most of what I was going to say as we have the same model King 12x36, his just a few years newer. He's done some very cool mods to his, some of which I may emulate at some point (time/budget permitting), but mine is almost totally bone stock. And I CERTAINLY would...

    Video- The Turbo Encabulator

    Lol, my tech school instructor showed my 4th year Automotive class this when I was at SAIT 21 years ago, and my 4th year Heavy Duty instructor showed it to my class 2 months ago. This one never gets old
