Bump…. Taking offers and heading towards AL from NC soon so delivery / meeting is an option along my route.

Awesome little 110v welding machine that I’ll miss, but upgrading and consolidating to a single 110/220 machine for space savings. Runs like a top. Will include all parts that came with it and a partial roll of solid core (no cart or gas tank are included). If you prefer flux core, I’ll include...

@captaindiode Shipping was a bit slow despite costing $9. They’re here and installed. Perfect fit and good as new!! Thank you for the advice!

I just ordered them. I’ll post up shipping time, fit and finish. Thanks again!

Thank you!! I didn’t think to cross-reference the p/n. I was focused on the vise model #. $20 vs $60 is a no-brainer! I’ll order a set right away!

Pics… Edit to add - I have only found one replacement option for $60. That seems really expensive considering other options are $20, but unknown compatibilit.

I have an older (20yo?) Craftsman 6” vice with a broken jaw plate. I may be using the incorrect term - referring to the metal fastened to the actual vice that’s removable. I’m about to start another car project and am tired of nursing the broken piece to work. Does anyone make replacements...

Full day burning steel. Used my new plasma - like a hot knife through butter! Love it! Added the roll stop to the front of the trailer deck Centered the front,middle stake pockets up front (actually cut off the old and replaced with a new one) Added a 2nd stake pocket to each side behind wheels...

Buy once, cry once. Go with the white oak. Seal sides, bottoms and ends with a couple coats of ATF. Fasten it to the steel then coat the top a few times. With an annual recoat, you’ll likely never have to replace the wood again.

This is the before picture. 18’ (16+2) pressure treated pine This is the after picture. 3 heavy coats of ATF. I couldn’t do the bottom S I would have been coated in ATF. If it rots, it rots. I’ll just throw rough sawn white oak on it if that happens. I’m adding the roll stop...

The prices for their complete kits are excellent!!

I just got this one today. I’m going to pressure wash it, let it dry, then hit top and bottoms with ATF. Stay tuned for pics!

Just sold my 16’ flatbed and put a deposit on an 18’ (16’+2’ dove) 10k trailer. I’ll bring it home this weekend and roll out the ATF kit again. I’ll try to keep the pressure treated pone as long as possible…then I’ll replace with white oak. pics pending…

I just found this thread…. Great info! I have an ALC cabinet. The plastic edges are starting to distort, so I used some of the widest and thickest box store foam insulation. Seems to be working ok for now. I also need to replace my viewing window. The old glass was replace with lexan - huge...

Good morning!! I’ve become a HUGE fan of treating my deck boards with new or used ATF. It starts off as a reddish tint but mellows with time. It’s only slippery at the outset but that also goes away. At installation, I triple coated the bottom and sides of the boards. Once installed, I hit...
