I was wondering if anyone here has made the leap to a dredge or high banker, and no longer wants their Keene A52 sluice. If so,I would be willing to take it off your hands for cash of course.

I figure I would try here first before buying new.

Thanks,
Ken

Russ,

Doesn't making a sluice require a brake and welding? Not all of us have these items at our disposal, & not all of us possess the skills required to do this sort of stuff. mellow.gif

I agree.
No way I could build an A52 up here with the available resources for under $100. By the time I order sheet aluminum, riffle metal, hire shop that has a brake bender (roofing company up here), find and pay a welder to cut and weld every riffle bar piece, purchase and fit matting and V-Mat, purchase clip-fasteners.... I'm over budget (not to mention my time).
Sometime it's worth it just to buy the thing if you're not a fabricator with your own shop.
