Hi, From time to time I find myself needing a certain tool.Last Friday was know exception. I required a Angle Drill. This would have made my project a whole lot easier.I had to remove the brace from the grill and use the drill press. Anyway,I have not found a lot of information on these...

OK, so I now in the "Stick Welding game" After doing some reading, it appears that keeping the welding rods dry is not a bad idea. So I purchased about 30 inches of 2 inch PVC pipe and 4 end caps.With my trusty sawzall cut the PVC into 13 inch lengths.I taped one end on but this was not really...

Well I guess the title says most of it. However,I have used my Lincoln Mig 140 Pro without any issues. So now I purchased a new Alpha 160ST. A great compact stick welder. Now here's the question.Are the fumes from the 7018 rods been known to cause any health related issues? I only burnt three...

So I changed the oil in my Husky 60 gallon air compressor.I used the air compressor oil that Lowes sells. All 12 ounces of it.As it sits now the oil level is above the red dot. However,, when the compressor is running the oil level in the sight gage is not visible.When the compressor is off the...

Before anyone tells me about the search thread, I went through three pages and did not find what I was searching for. So today went to O'reilly's and asked for air compressor oil.Well the attendant misinterpreted my request and handed me oil for air conditioning.Anyway his cohort handed me a...

Yesterday my package arrived containing my new saw.All set up and assembled ready for the first cut.I attached my shop vac to the port.After looking it over I decided to give it a try. While attempting to clamp down a piece if 1.75 steel pipe the screw clamp pushed upward on the pipe I was...

OK So the other day I ordered a new Wen 6502 belt/disk sander. BTW, I did use the search function with no results.Anyway for the price it seems as if this will do the trick.Does anyone have or used this sander? I plan to use it on my welding projects. I read a lot of views and most of them were...

OK Now that I have taken the leap with my Lincoln 140 Mig, I am surprisingly shocked at the cost of the Argon/CO2. I called one of my local suppliers and was told that they required a three year lease along with a deposit of $300 plus the cost of the gas.I told the person that I did not require...

OK, so I am in the process of selecting a welder. I have narrowed it down to the Hobart 140, or the Lincoln 140. I have read many reviews on the pair and thinking about purchasing the Lincoln. My question is, the wire feed on the Lincoln has two sizes. .025 and .035. The reason I ask this is...

OK hears my question. I am thinking about the Hobart 140 Mig welder. My question is while using this welder with .030 solid wire is this going to be AC or DC? Also should it be EP or EN? I will be using Argon/nitrogen mix 75/25 or something similar on these lines.Mostly will be used on exhaust...
