Here is some info for you: http://www.crucible.com/eselector/general/generalpart2.html

20 foot stick of 1x1 11 gauge is $20.02.

There is a recycle place across the street from my metal supply, so that works out for me. All chips and steel goes in the recycle can at home.

$35 is a limited offer. :lol:

Pretty sure he was talking about his casting set up.

As has been said, find a local metal supply. A 20 foot stick of 2x2 1/8" angle is $20.96 at my supplier.

I use Arczone http://www.arc-zone.com/ and Ram Welding http://www.ramweldingsupply.com/. Arczone is up the coast from me so I get my order the next day.

Mine was not loud enough, so I bought two Honeywell wireless doorbells. One for the house and one for the shop. Works great.

I drill 16 gauge 304 all the time. I use Champion 135 degree split point HSS bits. Boelube is my lube of choice. I buy 3/16 bits in 20 packs and toss them as soon as they get a little dull. The majority of my stainless drilling is done with a hand drill. Good luck.

The style I have at work has a rubber plug that is inserted into the tubing and expands as you tighten a bolt on the caster base. Yours seems to be missing the bolt head. :lol: Good luck.

They make wheels for grinding serrations in all sorts of patterns. They are not cheap and not for a one time thing. Some knife makers use a modified Harbor freight chainsaw sharpener to cut the serrations one at a time.

Here you go

I have an Elite and run into it on low amps. It usually happens when I start the arc by slowly pressing the pedal. Many times the cup, workpiece or my hand partially block the light easily on the low amps. Adjusting the sensitivity will fix it, but then the glare from natural light sets it...

I get the aluminum tracks from McMaster-Carr. Shipping is around $5. http://www.mcmaster.com/#door-tracks/=q9odc8

I keep a couple of 2x3 sheets of .25 around just for that.
