Old Chuckie2009 sure liked the Everlast machines. I miss him. I never saw the video that was so controversial but honestly I dont care. He helped me weld better I didn't go to him for political opinions. Rant over. Anyway why no wire feed process? I think it is so much nicer especially on...

I break down alot if pallets. I did like 30 in an afternoon a few weeks ago. My best method is to slice just inside of the side beams with a circular saw. Be careful the boads will move and bind on the saw. Then you are left with 2 nails holding each board in the center. These could be pried but...

Sorry I'm late to the game and don't mean to confuse you but I had a thought. What about adding a tongue to your current cart and using a cheap Craigslist lawn tractor to back it up the ramp into your garage. Be cheaper than a crane. Also I plus one for having a small lunchbox welder. I could...

I love my m18 but is is expensive if use is low. For hand pump: Go to a farm sale and buy a half dozen for $20. Pick out the best 2. One with flex hose and one with hard tube. Clean and paint. Sell the other 4 for $5 each on FB marketplace. You are good to go with a couple old high quality...

Yup can't stand "maker space". Or for that matter calling yourself a "maker". If you a respectable human you should be making something. You might be making wood projects, metal projects, money, a bussiness, sales, family, dinner... we were created for a purpose and if you aren't creating...

How about a different approach? I dont know a 510 intimately but many of the machines of this type have studs that are just pressed into a plate that is easily accessed. What about just grind, drill, or torch the nut off than replace the stud. If they are this hard to break loose the threads...

I got busy with life and haven't been on here in a couple years. (New farm, new job, 2 babies, moving ) but the red disease has been growing in my toolbox recently. Recently dumped the last of my c3 tools. I was waiting till they died but finally got impatient and wanted M12. Recent adds are...

Thanks everyone! I did pick up some Johnson Wax for exactly that purpose. I was really concerned about the internals though. I'm guessing the belt you referred to is the variable speed belt inside the head. I have a harbor freight miter saw. It will do for my purposes. I do desperately need...

I just got a Shop Smith out of storage. It was my grandfather's. It has definitely not been turned on since he died 15 years ago maybe longer up to 20 years. What should I do before I turn it on. What all should I lubricate. Second question i am a beginner wood worker. What tools should I use...

Powered it up and ran a little bit of flux core. It laid a pretty nice bead even though I am not a good...or really even a bad welder lol. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Was it supposed to have a .035? I guess I have to call too. I just picked up a spool of flux core and a few pounds of 6011. A bottle will have to come later. I can't wait to try it out. I got forney brand. It is what the store I was at had and it will basically just be for practice. what do...

I agree completely with you but I need some place to put in the required hours of practice where I am not preventing production. I have had a little bit of training but no practice. I want to practice to learn where I need help. I hope this makes sense. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage...

I am not an expert (just bought my welder lol) but the HF one you mentioned is a 125 amp flux core machine. The one I bought is 140 amp multiprocess. It will do stick, flux and mig it is also ready for a scratch start Tig torch and a spool gun. Those are the differences. I could give some...

I normally agonize over a 5 dollar purchase for a long time but I couldn't pass this up. Metal Man 140 multi process welder https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/metal-man-120v-140a-mp-inverter-welder I currently live in a house owned by my employer and they don't want to put 220 in...

I will have one for this summer. I almost bought one last year...now I will be working outside not in an office. It will be a need. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app
