    Surface conditioning tools?

    My son teaches machine shop and made trophies for the college golf tournament. He cut them out with an EDM then used the Hercules surface conditioner and finally laser engraved them.

    Garage sale vise worth fixing?

    I broke 3 of those nuts on the 8” version of that vise at the gas station in the 70’s. My boss insisted on using them to change U-joints, they died pretty easily.

    Is Milton good for water separators and filters?

    I have both Norgren and Sharpe filter/separators in my shop, they all work very well. I have only used Milton quick connects and air fittings so I don’t have any experience with their filter/separators.

    Need TIG welder with pulse, what would you recomend?

    My Dialarc has the solenoid/city water cooler system although we never used the cooler function. We used a Weldcraft Crafter 310 series air cooled torch and you are right about the torch size and the heavy cable. My shop is only heated (central Pa.) when we are working so this was my best option

    Need TIG welder with pulse, what would you recomend?

    Before I got my Syncrowave 350LX my son was welding soda cans, razor blades and other thin material with my Dialarc HF/P when he was in high school. He taught himself how to TIG weld on that machine, hours and hours of practice.
