woodturner9, you mentioned that a dryer is a dual voltage device and uses 120 and 220 VAC. Typical dryer connection is two hots and a neutral - for the welder, you want two hots and a ground and if I have a four prong dryer receptacle, I might be able to make it work, but it is still not to code...

I couldn't find anything in the way of price that came close to it . I hope i'm not disappointed in my decision and it does every thing I need it to do. Kudos to you BD1 for giving me the heads up to this great deal and sberry for confirming it and to all others who chimed in. I can tell you...

Will the Miller 180 plug into my dryer or will I have to make an adapter cord? You've all been great with your responses, Thanks. One more thing the distance from my dryer to my wagon is approximately 45 Feet will this present any problems? sberry what do you mean: Its a poor substitute for...

Do you own either of these particular welders? the 190 is around $750 and the 210 seems to be around $950

I could use some help picking the right mig welder. I would like not to go over $700, I would like to plug in to my 220v dryer plug. I need a welder for replacing the 18 gauge floor pans and installing a MII front suspension and so on. I doubt if I will use it for anything else other than for...

Thanks for your comments, you have convinced me not to purchase a flux core welder. Even though my wagon won't be a show car, I still don't want it to look like a piece of s**t. Now that we have that out of the way what small inexpensive welder will do the job of welding the things I mentioned...

I'm trying to restore my 51 Chevy wagon, and I need to replace the floor pans and install a MII IFS front suspension along with a rear springs & bracket kit and along with other misc. welding. Can I use the Eastwood 90A Flux Core Welder. This will most likely be all the welding i'll ever do. I...

Can someone tell me what the letter O on the shank of a vintage ratchet is for. I believe the ratchet was made by Moore Drop Forging, It has the =V= mark. I'm not allowed to post pictures because I haven't enough postings yet, but you can see the ratchet in question here...

This one's for mjozefow, You show two boxes in one pic. a smaller one on top of a longer one, the one on the top is the one I just bought three of. I just posted a question on the forum "To Rivet Or Not To Rivet, That Is My Question" I'm looking for the smooth head rivets that craftsman used on...

Does anyone have a source for the smooth head rivets that Craftsman used on their small carry toolboxes? I purchased three boxes from the 40s-50s and I would like to do a great job on them by removing all the hardware instead of taping them before painting. I have seen some boxes that were...
