The Z60 was the FIRST mass produced
Dent
Burnishing Machine.
Hey Gary,
I just wanted to say that the more I use the Zmachine the more
impressed I am. I really don't see how a repair shop
could do without the Zmachine and don't see how we did without it for the last
few years. Thanks for helping make it easier and
faster to get the instruments back in the hands of the kids. Perry Barker, the

Her "Z" is
equipped with the new Z60-1U 'speed adjust' option,
along with the Z60-25 power disc and Z60-30 Convex roller
options.

Here are
ALL the items that make up the basic Z60
Here is the Basic Z60 as has been produced since 1964
Over the last 40 years, several special use accessory tools
have been made for this great Z60 dent machine, especially over the last 5 years. This
machine, which used to pay for itself in as little as one year, just thru time
saving, now takes only about 6 months to pay for itself (if you have the work to
do), thru amortized
manufacturing expense which has lowered the expected purchase price in REAL dollars and
all the new speedy tooling that has been developed in the last few years, which
also contributes to a better finished repair job. In fact, the more of the
new toys you get, the quicker you have the opportunity and the capacity to pay for
not only the machine, but all the 'toys' as well. All the toys are on other pages,
with complete explanations of why and how they are used. Fact is, they
have earned their own pages.
The former Z60-1A, "Quick Release"option is:
Now Standard Equiptment on the Z60!
The Z60 outfit with the tooling pictured above is STILL only $1499.50
And Now, the Z60 price INCLUDES the, formerly optional, quick release! The
quick release option has been modified and refined over the last two years, so
that it is now ambidextrous in operation and takes less space. Also, the
addition of the former option is available as an update; Z60-1U.
"Remember, the BIG thing is; don't use too much pressure! The key here is: NEVER more than two turns of the quill once metal to metal
contact is made; three if you have to and four if you must, but, get
back to two as quickly as possible, then, decrease by 1/2 turns until you are at
zero or 1/2 below. If using the strut, cut all these values in HALF."
Hi Gary,
Well, so far since school let out - I've done the
complete inventories at four schools, as well as two truck loads of marching
horns from a major university. Before summer is over, I'll have done four more schools and
a couple van loads each from at least two other schools I don't normally work for.
It's is my busiest year so far.
Last summer, by the end of June, I'd already bought wrist braces to wear while I was doing dent work
and tendonitis was really starting to flare up. By the end of last summer, I'd strained them so bad
it was December before the pain really went away.
This year, my new dent machine has made all the difference in the world. I'm
working faster, and with a lot less physical effort and NO pain. And, I can go in to work and look at shelves full of baritones
and tubas without groaning. This last month really put it to the test, and I'm
really pleased with the result.
I'm Grinning,
