Used, but in good shape. Came off a TIG with less than 100 hours on it. Comes with all necessary hoses and cables, and Weldcraft torch. Looking for around 400.00.

This is a later model syncrowave 250. Has approximately less than 80 hours on it. Maintained well. Works well. Includes water cooled torch set-up. I haven't used it in over a year, and drained coolant so you'd need to add some. This is a good buy in the market for a TIG. I just don't have...

Thanks for the info. I was told that it was made by Atlas. Good to know, I'm not much on the history of tools, so it helps. I'll amend the ad.

1950's Craftsman/AA/Dunlap 6" hobbyist lathe - 500.00 obo ......this is the old, trusty Craftsman hobbyist lathe of many a yore. Old Popular Mechanics used to love these things for the home body engineer. It works it runs. In fact it works and runs rather excellently. I was using it for...

It seems to me that the reason most products any more have those outstanding exhange programs is because they need them. THey figure its easier to just exchange for another, than make a better product. Problem is it breaks in the middle of using it, and as it being a tool, what are you to do...

Harbor Frieght pressurized sand blaster. Friend bought one to use on a bike frame, and I was going to use it on my BSA frame. 3 hours wasted to get 1.5 inches blasted - constantly clogs, or won't pressurize right. And honestly how ****** complicated is a tank with a few hoses, some sand, and...

Actually fascism by its very definittion is the conglomeration of corporate identity and interest with governmental control and power - i.e. when you mix monetary gain and interest with the laws and governing of the people. Which is wholly becoming more and more disturbingly accepted. As such...

As a home owner, I accept the fact that I might not like the actions of my neighbors. But as long as it doesn't pose any danger to my or anybody elses immediate self or the environment, I accept its his/her house to do with as they feel fit. Its a house and not a business, if you're gambling...

Here's a question - of those zoning ordinances that dictate an out building cannot exceed 30% the size of the main living struture - What constitutes the main living structure? What if the building is attached to the so-called main living structure - Is it an outbuilding? Why 30% of the main...

it ridiculous. As long as it doesn't pose a danger to the immediate neighbors or general environment, nobody should have the right to dictate anothers business. If someone buys a house banking on it as a slam dunk investment, its a risk. And if you take the risk and it doesn't work out, thats...

J Man, you have a PM.

A good friend of mine is an info dude at Lowes, and he says they are a great place to work for. Must be because I go in good bit, and the same people have been working there for years. Every so often I trapse in the HD, and everybody there is pissed off, and never have seen a same face twice...

You could try Blue Ribbon No. 88.

....just dropped to intro from PA. Been on the HAMB and JockeyJournal for a while. This is a welcome addition to my daily rounds now. Like talking mechanicals, and weird confabulations. Thanks,
