How to ship depends on what you bought. It is a 900-pound machine or a small cable? I've sold both. In the case of a 900 pound machine the buyer hired a trucking company and the truck showed up at my place with a forklift. Another time I sold a very large air compressor and told the buyer "It

This fits my budget criteria for sure. How are the sensors attached? Are they screwed directly to the steel housing or is there some kind of plate that all three attach to? After seeing this I can think of other ways. For one, the slotted disk could be printed. As for the question about if
