    MIG Weld Wire for Sheet Metal Repair

    I use the .31 rosin/flux core wire and use 110 volt hobart handler. Saves using gas and cleans easily. I love the 110v unit, can take and use it anywhere. For big stuff..the stick welder but I get someone else to move/carry it.

    Mohawk lift model HR 6 information

    go to mohawk on line for info. I would keep it rather than sell it, it will be a lifesaver at some point for you. New lifts about 5k for starters, usually selling used for 1k or so and compressor anywhere from 150$ to 3k used. But if it is installed and works in good condition..don't sell...

    Older lave - (East side) Older Lathe

    Not a steal but a good deal if all there. tool holders etc tooling. Motor and pulleys not a big deal. Likley this is a 110V and pully selection equals gearing. A swamp cooler pump motor or low rpm would work. this lathe is not used for heavy industry anyway but really handy for a small shop...
