Dave Shows at Dr. Driveshaft in Houston has a very old Axiline Balancer. Tim stopped in and asked Dave if it would be beneficial to him to be able to balance faster and with more accuracy. The answer was yes, so he had Tim upgrade his machine. Took a bit of trial and error to retrofit Dave’s machine, which has a 20,000 pound press for assembling driveshafts, but now he balances faster than ever!
