Looks like the answer is under the review section of the link you posted... The internet is so convenient!!!

I got the Makita BCS550Z for Christmas and absolutely love it for cutting metal. It cuts wood in a pinch also, just doesn't tilt.

I don't have a picture of any templates right now, but the template would look just like what lilscorpion posted in his first pic, but just thinner. We have a Mller Spectrum 625 (I think) with this style "drag" tip which has that little protruding tip instead of a smooth tapered cone shape...

If you are only going to be using one or two sizes of rivet nuts on your project, you may want to look into the wrench-drive rivet nut installation tool like the ones at McMaster. They are $30 each. http://www.mcmaster.com/#nut-insert-installation-tools/=m7nvea

This technique works great doesn't it?! I make my templates out of 1/8" MDF to scale, then I use a 3/16" rabbeting bit then 1/4" flush trim bit to reduce the template size to compensate for the offset between the plasma flame and the edge of the tip. I also use double sided foam tape to hold the...

I bought another one last week. Here's a pic for comparison.

This is exactly my experience welding numerous cube type frames using mild steel tubing. Even if you have nearly perfect fit up at your joints (less than 1/64" gaps) once you release an area from a clamp or fixture after welding, it will move a little. The more you can weld while everything is...

You'll hear a lot of testimonials for both. My preference is Makita. Both are good and the slimmer battery packs (both brands) don't seem to hold up over the long run. Most of our shop runs Makita. One of our guys decided to be different and went with the Milwaukee. He ends up borrowing my stuff...

I've never used them as "Seal Removers" which is their intended use, but they are awesome for automotive interior disassembly. I've helped my Snap On guy sell at least six sets to car audio and interior guys. Two just last week!

Nothing to add, but that address tripped me out because I used to work right around the corner as a teenager over 20 years ago when they were making that thing.

I recently upgraded to a Speedglas 9100xx from a five year old Miller Digital Elite and it's an amazing difference. My eyesight isn't that great, so I need all the help I can get. I tried different prescription glasses and magnifiers with the Miller and could never see very well. I freaked out...

We have several of them and the reel and brass fittings seem to hold up well, but the hoses started to leak after a month on all of them. Just factor in the price of a replacement hose and you're still around $100 or less. Good deal.

If you have access to paint guns and an air compressor, I would suggest using a polyester high build primer like Evercoat Featherfill G2 or PCL Polyprimer. If you have seams between different pieces of MDF, I would brush polyester resin (catalyzed hot) on the seams and joints, then wipe off the...

Totally! I recently got the 12mm and 13mm, which weren't available when I got the 7,8 and 10mm.

Yeah, definitely wasn't cheap, but I didn't pay retail. I outgrew my previous cart (KRSC33) and got some good money for it, which reduced the pain. The sliding top sealed the deal for me and I'm a sucker that will pay a lot to improve my work efficiency. The joke at work is that, soon enough...

I started collecting the Snap-On magnetic spring loaded deep sockets and dedicating an impact adaptor to each of them. Not cheap, but very convenient. I never use my nut drivers anymore and it's very nice because the bolts never fall out when working in automotive environments...

Thanks! I made all of the dividers with 1/4" and 1/8" MDF. Making custom sizes helped me make the best use of the space...

+1 on the Lisle Tap Sockets...

$25 per set x 6. $150. Money well spent for me.
