    Zoro Deals Thread

    Thanks! I picked up this trailer, since I wasn't close to finishing my project anytime soon. It's rare that Zoro has items that are close to normal (or less) than other online distributors. Throw in competitive prices with a coupon, and free shipping, and I consider it a win for $514...

    Zoro Deals Thread

    Anyone have a 25% off that they don't plan on using? Found a trailer that could be useful around the shop. Thanks!

    Rural King 42" Box $249.99

    I wonder if it's the same US General brand that HF sells. I'd be interested if so, and the top box looks decent also.

    Tractor Supply Clearance 2014

    I stopped in my local store to get a Valentine's Day gift for my wife, ya know something ****, and walked out with an Ingersoll Rand heavy duty air drill for $59.99 and a Winchester survival knife for about $6. I think she'll be happy...

    Drill press

    If you are interested in an older Walker Turner floor model in the STL area I can send you some info. This area is good for finding tools, just be patient and look in the usual places.

    picked up the Champion

    Here is what I have that may help from when I was building mine a few weeks ago. The 220v single phase mag starter is a Siemens 16CF12AGACG with a 49SBSB1 switch wired in series with a pressure switch that came with the unit. Not pictured is the E62 heater I picked up off eBay. This component is...

    Snap-On Bench Grinder. I've never seen this before, Have you?

    Awesome score! Glad it worked out and the vultures didn't nab it out from under you. Any luck with the vises?

    picked up the Champion

    I also picked up a slightly used VR5. Paid $400 and it came with a NIB 5hp Baldor single phase L1430T. Had to wire rewire compressor for single phase -- it's a work horse. Similar motors can be found for around $300-$350 in my area. I wired mine with a Siemens mag starter and On/Off/Auto switch...

    am I asking a fair price

    A case of beer sounds about right for him to pony up.

    Show us Your Vintage Bench Grinders!!!!

    I feel like I picked up a cherry of a grinder this past weekend. Although a little bigger than what I need right now, it has potential and runs as smooth as buttah. The previous owner, a nice young guy from the city, told me it was in a bowling alley all its life -- any idea when this was made...

    Zoro Black Friday?

    Central Transport here in St. Louis area. Bought a welder a few weeks ago and it came via freight to my house straight from Grainger. Had to call shipper to set up delivery time.

    Zoro Black Friday?

    Picked up a machine table, better than what I can weld and probably the same price. The 30% off helped, especially when picking up a Syncrowave 210 last month. My budget for tools has been exceeded this year, for sure.

    Zoro 30% Off orders over $250 11am to 2pm CT

    Picked up a Syncrowave 210 so I can start to TIG at home. The prices are higher on most items listed on Zoro, so I only saved about 10% off this welder compared to other distributors. If I didn't live in the same state as Zoro (IL) I would have saved $895 from their above average retail price.
