    Hi, Well, I hit the BF Sale and after adding the option of a cover for the Welder... The bill was about $500 SHIPPED! Hard to beat that in my book, but took a LOT of looking to come to that conclusion!

    Just bought a PrimeWeld Mig 180!

    Hi, I went through all of this years ago when 1911 Pistols started coming out of Turkey... Tisas, Girsan, were putting out $300 FORGED Frame, Slide, and hammer forged Barrels! I admittedly was not a Fan of Turkey's Politics but a moot point looking at our own Government. Now Tisas's...

    Hi, Before we get down on these cheaper Machines which seem to get better and better as time goes by... We need to be thankful they allow more young people to afford a Machine and get to Welding! I bought my Cebora Compact Mig 175 thirty years ago and it helped me learn to weld which...

    My "New" Lisle Model 91000 Drill Bit Sharpener!

    Hi, Yes, used a SHAR'S Diamond. Worked VERY well! These Grinders are around if you look for them. Some people here on this Forum might have one to sale. (also Hobby-Machinist) If you do buy one make sure it has all the parts or most anyway. Lisle has no major parts available...

    My "New" Lisle Model 91000 Drill Bit Sharpener!

    Hi, Thanks, can't stop with this thing, I have wanted one for so long! I'm now making a Dresser Tool Holder and a Base to put it on so I can clamp and use it where I want. Also good to move it outside when you dress the Wheel as it creates a lot of dust!

    Hi, You might put a "Wanted" Ad here on this Site... Seems there are people that have them that do not use them? Admittedly the DD is probably faster, but I like Gizmos I guess!

    My "New" Lisle Model 91000 Drill Bit Sharpener!

    Hi, No, found out I'm missing the Stop that goes on the end of the square rod. Seeing if the Seller can find it now. Will get on the Mill and make one if I have to. Talked to a Tech at Lisle and he sent me some Blueprints to use if needed! Good on them for that!
