The basic kit ($119.50) is approx 30 lbs. Shipping to me would be $49.49
The pulley blank (5 lbs.) is an extra $23.50 if you want that also. Plus another (for me) $6.40 for shipping.
Bronze bearing material - extra $38.00 plus $2.24 for shipping.
Hardware kit (screws) add $5.50 - free shipping with the kit!
Quote:Other materials required for making the filing machine are mostly common flat and bar stock.
After I add it all up, this casting kit (less other materials required) would set me back approximately $250 delivered. I don't know that I want one that bad....
