    I think those have already been invented, don't you remember the ads in the back of comic books for the x-ray vision goggles?
    Penncrest Buzzbox - Infinite amp control! Man the 70's were good.
    Everlast Powerplasma 60 - Reliable unit, cuts well.
    Everlast i-MIG 250P w/spoolgun - Really smooth, plenty of cajones.
    Everlast 250EXT - Sometimes it just takes a kick in the balls...
    Everlast 255EXT - Just started playing

    I think someone dropped the ball on actually bringing that idea to life! Either that or the irate mothers of the 1950's all wrote into the x-ray vision goggle factory and threatened a lawsuit if they didn't seize production! Times were simple then and ideas like this simply weren't excepted with wide open arms in those days. Plus my new updated version would allow you to only see through the attractive women's clothing. I call them the "No-Ugo Selective Vision Pretty Woman X-Ray Goggles"....SHHHHHH! Don't tell anyone!

    This is what I was kinda picturing in my head when I typed my last post, except the part being bored here would have the cutting bit revolving around the welding rod and the cutting bit in the video would be the cut down rod. Seems perfectly logical to produce this type of machine to save $10 on welding rod, right? Plus it would be portable! Who doesn't like portable equipment that serves such an important purpose? Actually I'd take part in producing something like this just based on the fact I have no life and enjoy a challenge.

    Add a portable forge so that you can take the shavings, melt them down and create one or more rods from those. Waste not want not.

    I save all my shavings from machining so I can melt them into rod. Homemade silicon-bronze anyone? Hey maybe I could melt 5 or 6 metals together and have one multipurpose rod that would replace the need for all those different rods on my cart. This forum is gold...or was that green?
