Why the in hell anybody would use flux core wire and stick welding expect for heavy industrial work is beyond me. It is messy and looks **** normally. Welding with gas is like having power brakes on your car it just makes life a heck of a lot easier and simpler.

Power at the house is 220 volt single phase.

Good point I didn't think about it. But will defentily try to do that for sure.

So can somebody clarify the difference in a transformer tig machine and an intverter. Is one better then the other other then the size and what. Pros/Cons ?

Yeah that flat ***** it would be nice to have a reasonably priced multipurpose machine for sure.

Yeah good luck with that I never buy stuff new and I look for smoking deals and then still talk them down. :thumbup:

It will be my first personal welder but I'm not new to welding. I don't weld for live but know how to weld. I have 220 at home to hook up the machine. I don't really care a for a stick welder at all. They have there place but I have no use for one. I'm wanting to do stainless,alummiun and mostly...

So I looking at getting a welder for the garage/house. Wonder what would be my best bet I'm leaning towards a tig but I know everything has to clean clean to weld but I like the localized heat and ability to do precision work. That leads me to think mig all though louder dirtier. It is overall...

Yeah I need to just open the case and see what the heck is going on before it eats itself. The good news there isn't metal in the oil as I just changed it last night.

Yeah we will see. I think it has bigger issues the crank is jumping around now that is running I see it so I don't know if I should tear it down or run it till I pukes the crank or a rod.

At the moment it is holding I marked the shaft ran it twice and changed the oil seems good to go but time will tell. There is no room for shim stock I had to spread the flywheel with wedge to get it off.

There is only one pinch bolt and I double wrenched it as tight as I could get with 300 pound 6 foot 6 frame so I hope like hell there tighten enough. I was a little worried I was going to break the bolt. Oh there is wear for sure the back of flywheel is wallowed out pretty good and the shaft is...

I don't know that a roll pin would be strong enough to retain it all maybe though. I thinking I would try a set screw first. But then comes an issue with the fan blades on the flywheel to cool the compressor getting in the way of drill so I hope this works or I don't know what the heck to do next.

It runs true. Now we wait there is nothing in the gap great idea on the wedge idea on the flywheel I used a big chisel for a wedge cleaned up the shaft and the id of the wheel and locktited the dog pee out of it so now we wait and pray that did the trick or I will have to try get a new flywheel...

The rotation arrow is facing out. New pulley isn't really an option I haven't been able to find one for sale anywhere I can only imagine the price if I can.

The woodruff key is installed. Debris in the gap is a really good question. I want to say no but will check tomorrow. Belt alignment is possible but the first time it happened the belt alignment was dead nuts and it still. Walked looks like I'm down to checking the gap and cleaning up with...

So I bought a t30 Ingersoll rand 242 converted to a single phase motor. The flywheel is now walking off shaft of the compressor. So I tightened the pinch bolt with the magic double wrench method and it still walks slowly put each time it runs it slowly coming off the shaft. So what give I've had...

Screaming deal for somebody if I wasn't saving my pennies for coyote swap I would be on this like fat kid on cake. http://denver.craigslist.org/tls/4683684110.html

Thanks catalytic I was unaware. Are there any other issues I should be aware of I'm new to this old of a drill press. I know there good quality machines and last forever when taken care of but know nothing else about them.

No it is variable pulley like a snowmachine clutch.
