    Chop saw or motorized hacksaw?

    Well the NT & HF horz. Bandsaw are the same price - and they look the same in the photos. Both get so-so reviews. I have looked at the HF one at the local store but NT doesn't have one local for a full look. The horsepower is different but I take little stock in the specs. The JET at NT got...

    Chop saw or motorized hacksaw?

    If I go with a bandsaw if would be "horizontal". The cheap HF & NT ones get very bad reviews - Nothing on local CL.

    Chop saw or motorized hacksaw?

    Not going to do a lot of cutting but which would be the best for cutting steel for welding projects? Welding cart, Work tables, Small projects. Square tubing & Angle. (cost is a concern)

    Looking to learn/do welding - advice on unit

    Well I bit the bullet - Miller 180. BRWeldingsupplies $820-$75=$745 Gave up on Craigslist, EBay, ect. It seems that whenever someone buys one of these they keep it forever.

    Looking to learn/do welding - advice on unit

    Well it is probably overkill for my use but I am serious about the Miller 211 - Maybe the 180. Where is the best place to buy this item? Seems that whenever a problem you have to go to the manufacturer anyway so I have no problem with online. Lowest price / Where.

    Looking to learn/do welding - advice on unit

    Mmfh - No, What friends - Will be for garage only. sberry - 187 is $180 more than the 140. I realize you said "sale price". I am a buy it once with a look to the future. Also I have 220 outlet. I will probably do a class - after I run out of cuss words trying to learn on own.

    Looking to learn/do welding - advice on unit

    Well the 2-car garage/workshop is pretty much finished. I am looking to build shelving, tables, benches - so why not do them with square tubing and learn to weld as the same time. I won't be doing any sheet metal just general stuff. As a total rookie I am looking for advice on: Type & Brand...

    8' T5HO fixtures at HomeDepo - Anyone using them

    Excuse my dud question - There is a "C" shaped piece of metal inside the fixture - What is it for? If you take the end off you can slide it out of the groove it is in.

    8' T5HO fixtures at HomeDepo - Anyone using them

    I am looking to use the "ZSPEG Z Spring Hanger" which this fixture is support to be able to use. Should make installation a bit easier. Couldn't find a web source - Hoping a local lighting place can order them. After "BigJohn20" posted the SKU number I bought all the local (Knoxville) bulbs...
