I think you'd be disappointing with such a small size setup. They would work fine for heating up the odd bolt here and there and maybe that's all you need? But not sure about getting them filled etc. I'm currently leasing a oxy tank and use propane from a bbq tank. In the future I likely wont...

So I painted a tractor using omni single stage urethane. First coat went on decent, Got carried away on the second coat and got a whole bunch of runs and sags on the vertical panels. I'm not too picky on this since it's still way better than it was, but i'd like to try and clean up the sags...

I kind of picked milwaukee because of their impacts and automotive tools, Haven't really bought as many as I'd like yet but getting there. I wish the tool makers would go to a standard battery and we could pick and choose what tools we want but I know they do it on purpose obviously to keep us...

Just curious if anyone has multiple brands? I have a few Milwuakee tools all fuel versions and they rock! But sometimes I see deals on other brands etc etc, is it worth the hassle of different batteries and chargers? I've mostly been interested in Ridgid, their octane line is quite a bit...

So the old one actually isnt a IR. The one my coworker brought in is a old IR and works good still. I'm think the astro onyx will likely be our best bet. From reading up on most of these, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the cheaper range die grinders. I think amazon has...

The straight die grinder at work died and looking to replace it. It was a ingersoll 308 or something I think. Been reading up here on them, and Unless we spent lots for the top dotco or dynabrade is there much difference between the cheaper ones? I was wanting a CP but not sure what models...

Haven't read all the replies but I started with the high torque, And it is a beast.. But I work on farm equipment and pickup trucks in the salt belt. Downside is it's heavy and big so doesn't fit everywhere. I think the mid torque especially the new gen would be a great fit for most people. I...

It's a 2 stage pump and 5 hp motor.. Tag says 175 psi rated, but found out why it was set at 140 psi cutout, The relief valve sets off around 145-150. I turned up the screw that adjusts both, then backed the cut off screw down again so it still shuts off 140 but now it cuts in at 100 psi...

What does everyone have their cut in pressure at? Mine was at 90 psi and cut out 140. I've increased it to 95 cut in but might go to 100.. My thinking is if I'm using a tool that likes 90psi at the tool, by the time the compressor kicks in i'll be down too far on psi. Not sure If I should go...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into the Montezuma boxes, They look very well thought out and look like they hold a lot for their size.

Pretty much any decent name angle grinder will work fine, and if your not using it professionally then cheaper ones do the trick too. My personal favorites are 2 bosch 1380 slim grinders I got 6 years ago for $100 for both. I've used them heavily and they keep going great. Cut off wheels...

I mostly use cordless but air for the die grinder and air hammer etc. I mostly use cordless impacts and cordless grinder, and for real grinding I use a corded grinder. I use a air impact a bit, and it is lighter and smaller than a battery one, but I don't always like having to be tied to a hose...

I use my tools on my part time farming operation mostly, then I use them at home between the shop and another shed then I also use them at work here and there. For the last few years I pretty much just carry the blow molded socket set case and a smaller hand carry old sk tool box filled with...

Can't really go wrong with a older transformer lincoln precision trig 230 or miller syncrowave 250 and could find those in your budget. I recently bought a lincoln aspect 230 ac/dc, it's a sweet machine but over your budget, but along those lines.. I seriously was looking into the square...

You'll love the ellis. Have a ellis 2000, dad used it for fab shop for yrs. Simple saws that just work. And like the rotating head

Hey everyone, Hope it was a good Christmas for you I do some painting from time to time on mostly farm equipment, never been too picky with the results and just used cheaper hvlp guns. I'm planning on doing a tractor this spring when it warms up, and wan't to get a new gun and very interested...

Dad used to fabricate mostly aluminum, Started with a old cobramig 250 with push pull, he loved that setup. Then went to a lincoln powermig 300( same as a pm 350 minus some programming) It was good too, still have it but just use a reg gun for steel now that's not welding anymore. I never used...

I Liked all the settings for aluminum, different wave forms, It has Amplitude settings on ac too, can change the EP and EN amps. To be honest, it has more than what I need and way beyond my skill. I was torn between that and the squarewave 200, both machines seem like great units. If I bought...

Hope these show up. These welds are after 5 arc hours, first ones were quite rough looking lol

So I've been looking and saving for a tig welder for at least a year or so. I knew I wanted a inverter for being small and light weight/less power draw and all the features. Looked into just about every bigger reliable brand. I was really thinking of going with the lincoln square wave 200, but...
