Just had a great deal with Apexit1. Price was right, shipping was fast, and great communication. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.

Looking for a good 3/8 drive 12pt socket set. Needs to go down to 5/16. Craftsman, Snap-on, Mac, Matco, etc. I am not looking to break the bank, so be gentle with me. :D

This is what I use in MIG, but I still like a clean, shiny surface to weld the legs to.

That is all I was removing. I have just spoiled myself by staying away from hot roll.

Absolutely, but this is a free sheet for a new welding table. I try to only use cold roll, as I don't deal with much of the larger sheets.

I really hate removing millscale before welding. That is all.

My wife and I looked around for months. Like Viriiguy said, we walked into one house and said that it was home. We closed on it in 30 days and have loved it ever since. Don't rush into the first one you see, it can bite you.

If you look at Paypal's terms of service, they say that you are not supposed to say that you want 3% over the price if using Paypal. I know of other forums that will zap an ad that asks for it. It seems to me that it would be easier to include it in the price from the start. Also, if you send...

PM sent on BR8T and JRF36.

Threads like this remind me why I like living out in the country. We only have to pass an electrical and septic inspection to build.

Sears has it new for $67.99 right now. Personally, I avoid Craftsman torque wrenches as they have pretty inconsistent reviews. I found an Armstrong torque wrench in a local pawn shop and got it for $60.00 because they were not familiar with Armstrong tools. So, I would pass on this one.

Our panel is in a completely different room. Luckily the power cord was within reach. We put an emergency interrupt on it after that, but this thread has me thinking about a limiting switch.

The limiter switch is actually a bit of a failsafe too. We were raising a car and the lift button shorted out and the lift ran away. Luckily we were able to yank the power supply cord out before the car went into the attic. This was not a case of not paying attention, it was a mechanical failure.

Nice deal. My father in law has a mill and a lathe and I have found them both very useful. Now, let's see what that thing can do.

I have found that using the halogen work lights aimed at what I am welding makes it much easier to see where I am going. I also use an auto darkening helmet set at 12 on my MIG work. I want to keep my eyes around as long as possible.

Welcome from another newbie. It looks like a Wilton Machinsts vise, or "bullet" vise. Well worth the effort of restoring since they are top quality.

The only thing I can see that the unit would be protected from would be in the case of being on a circuit that allows the unit to get too hot before tripping the breaker. I have only heard of this in lighting circuits where the lights were getting too hot without any circuit breaker protection.

Most nibblers are good up to 16 ga, so you might consider that. With some practice you can cut pretty good with a nibbler.

Bought a couple of sets of Gearwrenches from itsvegas. Shipping was incredibly fast, and the wrenches were perfect. Great guy to deal with.

I thought that they made their own welders here too, but their rep said that they are Chinese on another welding forum that I frequent.
