Let me know if you want a couple of higher quality blades for that HF chop saw that i should still have laying around. they are much better and thinner than the ones from HF and they fit that HF 6" saw. They are yours if you just cover the shipping. I use a different saw now so they are just laying around. 

IM sent, Thanks!

Well now, Golfworks has neither of the two LL units I'm considering in stock.  They are "expecting" the Economy Bending Machine on 6/20.  Reading through the reviews and Q&A's on both suggests out-of-stock to be a common issue. I spoke with customer service and they tell me that ordering now is the best bet as they fill them in priority of order.  Also that they have no ETA for the "Value Bender" at this time.  I also asked about whether I could upgrade to the higher end, brass jaw bending bar (get credit for the stock option) and they said maybe but has to be ordered by phone and approved by a supervisor. 

Need to confirm whether I can cancel the order at anytime prior to being shipped.  Since I'm still looking at used ones through eBay, CL, etc., still a chance one could pop up.  

And here I thought finding a budget friendly LL machine would be a snap .

Here's another question for those of you who have LL machines.  Do you also have a seperate LL gage or use the "on-board" Vernier or digital scales?  Some say they are accurate enough - particularly if you get a iron measured on a calibrated machine and know what (if any) difference your on-board scales reflect.

Also, for lie adjustments, many argue those should be adjusted based on lie board/impact tape results anyway... that the actual value is secondary.  Curious what your all doing for measurement and calibration?

Thanks

The LL gauge is certainly more accurate. However, if using the the scale on the machine and testing to that does it matter? You are making corrections on what you just measured. Now when dealing with woods that LL gauge is needed, imo.
