Spent $380 on a used Hobart grinder for the shop and it's been the best money I ever burned
Guys at the supply house in Cleveland kept telling me to just get a new one for $1,100 and I finally ignored them and picked up a 20-year-old Hobart at an auction for $380. Six months in, it's ground through 400 pounds of pork shoulder and never even hiccuped, which goes against everything I got told about "cheap old equipment." What's the oldest piece of gear in your shop that's still earning its keep?
