    Emglo L3B-80 Compressor a Good Compressor?

    I wouldn't say its any better than any other compressor. I feel like $800 is on the high side. I would certainly check the oil in the compressor to see if its ever been changed. If not, walk away.

    Welder purchase questions

    You can usually find lots of welders on FB marketplace. I would look for a nice miller, lincoln, or hobart. If you have 220 available, I woould get one in that voltage, much better output which in turn makes for better fusion.

    Dump Trailer Battery?

    We have an Interstate battery company near me. I go to their store and get their reconditioned batterys for a reduced price. I would see if there is one near you. I hook up a battery maintaining charger once in a while. My batts usually last over 10yrs. A disconnect is good to have on the...

    Basic/economic not fancy rolling tool cabinet??

    If you want something with a warranty, you can't beat the usg toolboxes. Personally I like to shop fb market place for deals. I picked up some blueprint cabinets for 125 each and some other cabinets I traded for.

    Retractable casters for 600lb+ press

    Just bolt it down to a pallet. I have put everything in my barn on a pallet and life is SO MUCH easier now. You will not regret it. A pallet jack is $200 used and can move 5000lbs. I will not ever be w/o one.

    Enco lathe 13x40

    MSC sells that lathe for $9k. The price your looking at (and condition) seem fair.

    We have an 18v milwaukee at work. It has been beat on for at least 5yrs and still gets used almost daily. It is a good unit for sure.

    ID on this taco/aviation tool cart?

    Not too bad. If its cheap I'd go for it. Make sure you can put a middle and top box on there. Some aren't a standard size.

    Picked up a Craftsman lathe today!

    While running errands I noticed a listing on fbmp for a Craftsman lathe. I noticed it was missing a chuck in the listing and asked about it. The reply I received was that it was in a house they had bought and they knew nothing about it. I set up a time to go look and loaded up some tools and a...
