Now that I got some other projects out of the way I think today I'm going to
strip out an IGT 2000 w/aluminum cabnet and see is I can make it less flimsy.
The aluminium cabnet are like a piece of rubber. They flex all over. They suck.

This is how crappy the cabnet is. I'm not pushing that hard.

What I did was strip cabnet out - Jack so it's in place - Put L brackets in corners to support.
Now it's a lot solider.
I DO NOT like alum. cabnets, even if they don't weigh as much.
Now I can get ready for snow & wind this afternoon.

This is what bracket look like. Put in all corners.

that's a pretty good idea if you've got a saggy one

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just mine?

Saggy one .... :208- :208-or ...Alum, cabinet problems? :200- :200-


Check with Bunker :3- Heard he was a pro on both of these problems first hand :97- :97- :97- Or is that single handedly :79- :79- :208-

Had to do it ! :47-

lol
I'm no pro... believe me!

My S2000 is somewhat saggy too but I live with it.
I contribute it to age... :96-

Are they aluminum or steel. The one I'm talking about is aluminium cabnet.

S+ are steel, my S2000 is aluminum.

On y 2000's that are steel you have a little door sag. On the aluminum one it was getting that the door sagged 3/4 to 1 inch.

Hmm...I only have about 5/32" door sag...that's not bad really.

I guess mine is just a weak cabnet. I'll have to look @ other aluminum and see if they are as bad as mine.

The one time that a floor tech decides to lean on the door -
is the last time that door will ever be straight.  :96-

For the record, a friend of mine had some S+ machines in his shop that had aluminum cabinets.  They came off a cruise ship, and I'm guessing they had requested them so they would weigh less.
