That is what the cheap stuff does. I can not believe how much better I can see with my 9100 helmet compared to the budget helmets. I never realized how much I couldn't see until I tried a decent...

Lowe's carries the adapter in a sample kit as well as Harbor Freight.

If you read the rest of his site and writings about the Tip Tig, he claims it is not hot wire as others use, but it is a vibrating wire that agitates the puddle, plus it is an automated feed for...

Funny thing about "space". No matter how much you have, you always need more. My shop is a 40 x 60 steel building. I built it last year. I ran out of room in less than 6 months. So last week, I built...

Flap discs prefer a different angle than grinding discs. I get better results with flap discs by using a steeper pad angle.

I built a similar loft in my shop last week. Mine spans 38' 8" and I made it 10' deep. I considered a joist design like yours, but then I chose to simply put 4 posts under the 2 x 8's.

I like your...

Putting the dry cut saw in the middle really makes the table much more versatile. Now when I cut tubing all the chips go straight down the chute. No more sweeping them off the floor! After...

The added cost is due to the gear reduction. The motor spins at a high speed and the gears reduce the arbor rpm and increase the torque.

Well, I googled them and found them at EMI supply for $1.65 each. So I ordered 50 to try.

EMI is giving away free samples of ARC abrasives, so I ordered those as well

I just used the Pearl...

Evolution makes a compound miter saw that uses a 10" blade.

$430 with free shipping

All dedicated metal saws have gears to reduce the rpm's of the blade and to increase the torque of motor. On metals thicker than 20 gauge, you really need a dedicated metal saw to prevent bogging...

Phx, Az is the area.

Vern Lewis Welding treats everyone very nice, but they are the most expensive place to shop. They also B.S. customers, so you never know if they are giving you the straight...

I remember reading an old wood worker tale about him hating the 1" cheater marks. Frequently he would forget to subtract the 1" and half the cut parts were an inch too long.

If you scribe the 1"...

If a branch has multiple loads, the breaker size should equal the sum of the loads with the appropriate wire used. If the breaker is tripping as in your statement, then the wrong supply wire and...

I have installed every brand of furnace sold in the US. Not one requires hard wiring and a fused disconnect per the manufacturer. If your furnace is installed that way it is because of local codes. ...

Knowing how many bad welds a student will make, :O I'm sure they would love to send free samples to get you to buy their products.

Just list your school as the business name and put student in...

I too think the feed is too fast, but I think 260 to 290 should be right.

The manual in my Hobart confirms that. Also, is 26 the starting voltage or the actual welding voltage?
My chart shows a...

I was referring to the electrical conductivity, not the heat transfer. Having the ground clamp on the table and the work piece sitting on top, I was thinking that the aluminum would not be a good...

Too thick is when you can't move it when you need to.

Free stuff is always good, right?

Well, I googled them and found them at EMI supply for $1.65 each. So I ordered 50 to try.

EMI is giving away free samples of ARC abrasives, so I ordered those as well.

The slats are 1/8" x 1.5" bar x 46" long.
I used 5 pieces of 1.25 x 1.25 x 1/8" angle x 28" long to support the slats. I cut 3/16" wide notches every 1.75 inches to align and support the slats....

Just a lowly Mig.



The "S" shape (wave shape) prevents burning an entire slat if the cut happens to be right above the slat and it also provides better support for cutting thin wide pieces.
I...

If they last longer, I'm all for it. I don't shop price alone, I look for the best value. So if it cost twice as much but lasts 3 times longer, I'll get it.

Do the wheels by Sait last longer?
