    The black one is tough. I've flipped it over twice on uneven ground. Still works great. Second time I didn't have the lid closed on the trailer at the track. So it spilled out. The first time with the lid closed and locked the stayed in perfect. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

    MIG welder 110 or 220

    I think the miller will do both 110/220 iirc. I'd buy as big as you can afford. Always easier to turn one down. I have an older Lincoln sp125. Works great for what I do. Got a smoking deal on it or I would have bought a 180 new which is a 220 machine. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using...

    helmet issues

    My grandfather has an older miller basic auto darkening helmet I used to use when learning. I'd take and set it on the truck hood out side for 20 or so minutes while I was setting my project and the welder up. Made a world of difference in not getting flashed.

    Starrett micrometer set question

    Akra stock clone class. Running mainly on a 1/7 mile progressive banked clay track. Bought an 03 phantom nemesis at the end of last year. Rode quite a few in the past and always liked the handing characteristics of them for my driving style. Figured I'd run it for the year and step up to a...

    Starrett micrometer set question

    I bought them. $225 for the whole set which I found was the going rate for the 4 sizes I need so I cant really complain there. Now to hunt down some telescopic gauges and I'll be set. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

    Starrett micrometer set question

    Basically what you just described. I'll probably. Just buy them to use but I wasn't sure if there was a market in case I decided to sell them later. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

    Starrett micrometer set question

    Thanks for the quick reply. They appear to be in excellent shape. I honestly don't expect to sell them anywhere near that if I got them. The price I can get them for would more then justify the ones I need. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

    Starrett micrometer set question

    Im getting back into karting and with the new engine classes I'm going to build my own engine. In the process of looking for micrometers a co worker has a set for sale. He has a full 0 to 12" set and priced them to me for an extremely good price. My problem being I would never use above 3"...

    TIG instead of MIG

    I have a mig and stick. If I can't do it with a mig the stick will. I'd love to have and learn tig but I haven't ran into anything in 10 years of home/racing that I couldn't get done with a mig. A tig would have been very nice in a few situations though. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using...

    Drill Press thoughts

    I have a 1975 or 1976 model one of those. Used it a few times. I need to clean it up. Bought it at an auction for 30 dollars. I'd probably give 75 or 100 as well judging by the shape it appears to be in. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

    Garage Stereo Systems

    I have a Sherwood 200w stereo receiver. With two 5 1/4" proficient speakers and a 12" Sony sub. Sounds awesome. It is ran through the TV. So I can play all the audio through HDMI on my phone and have the TV to see if I get a message or a call while laying on or under something. Sent from my...
