Had a Lincoln 225 stick welder and a small cheap mig for years. About 10-15 year ago I upgraded my mig to a Hobart 187 and from that point on neither the cheap mig or the stick welder got touched. I ended up selling the old Lincoln and cheap mig on CL.

This I can agree with. I know folks that have the Festool tracksaw/ MFT system in their shops and I can't imagine going that route but that goes for any tracksaw system trying to replace a tablesaw in function. I only use a tracksaw to breakdown sheet goods and occasionally straight line rip...

I saw it in store last week and I wasn't impressed for the price. I think you are better off buying a lower cabinet (26" or 44") or a 5 drawer on the cheap. HTH

Never used a Makita but I have used the Festool alongside a Dewalt tracksaw and I don't find the difference very significant. I own quite a few Festool tools (Domino, Dust extractors, sanders, etc) so, I'm not a Festool-hater, at the same time, IMO a lot of their tools perform similar to other...

Yeah, don't be fooled by the CHEAP package of prybars at Walmart they are NOT the same as the individuals. These pictured are made in the USA by Wilde and are awesome. Here are mine: 2x36 2x25 2x17 1x12 1x8 2x scrapers

Although, his system is nice, there is no way I would pay for it. That type of system can easily be designed and/or sourced for free. Again, this is just for me, part of the 3d printing lure is the ability to design custom things and print them for almost nothing.

I have printed socket rail organizers, plier racks and wrench racks as well as other things. The wrench and plier racks are really decent but I moved away from the socket organizers because I wasn't happy with their durability. I still use them in my lesser used tool boxes (house, auto, etc.)

I flip flopped back and forth between the end locker and end cabinet... I finally just gave in and bought the end cabinet as the lockers still haven't come back into stock and my patience ran out.

I had forgotten that they used to be wider... at the same time, I think they were only 18" deep. So, with the new versions being 22" deep, the volume is probably close to the same. Not sure??? The drawers themselves are 12" wide and the depth is 19.5", which is about 1/4" less than the...

Dang it... I meant to post this in General tool Discussion. Sorry.

Well, I decided to go in and grab a blue end cabinet to accompany my 44" US General box. I was SHOCKED that they had one in stock today and was expecting that there would be a significant wait to order one in. Anyhow, with the 10% off it ended up being $216 +tax which IIRC, is pretty close to...

I sense a blue U.S. GENERAL 14.5 In. End Cabinet in my future to join my 44" combo.

Cool.:thumbup:

Any word on the side lockers? When I asked, my local store was clueless as to what was going on.

I have had the Grizzly 2HP cyclone for over 10 years in my shop. I have no problems recommending it. Back then, I grew tired of single stage dust collection and clogged filters. The separation on my Grizzly cyclone is outstanding even with machines like wide drum/belt sander that create tons of...
