Compressor uses 150 maybe. Gas cylinders use pressure in the 1000s Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

This is EXACTLY what I tell someone who's selling as you described and then I offer 50% flat. Just bought a Protig 165 off Letgo that way. Guy was asking $500 "firm" for a $700 machine. It was brand new, box was open but it was untouched. The guy was given a bigger machine by a family friend...

The handles were salvaged from a cheap grill that was getting tossed out. They were about the only thing that didn't rust [emoji16] the locking pliers rack is made from a piece of 1 1/2" angle. I welded a piece of 3/16 rod to the edge to give it a lip so the pliers don't fall off. I then...

Just saw this on a Google add.. https://www.weldingsuppliesfromioc.com/80-cf-welding-cylinder-for-oxygen?scid=scbplpIKAP00000011&sc_intid=IKAP00000011&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SC%20Shopping&utm_term=4583520379724683&utm_content=All%20Products Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I just had an 80 cf cylinder filled (argon) for $35 at Allgas in Goshen, NY Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Wow, the price on that AlpaTIG 200 is very appealing. I have no experience with TIG and wanted to start "playing" with it on the cheap. So I found a brand new HF ProTIG 165 that got good reviews (supposedly could do tig & stick), but the open circuit start voltage is so low at only 15v and non...

This is the only pic I have (from the add). Doesn't look too be 3 ft really. Add simply says "compressed gas cylinders. One Alum. One steel." The "3 ft" came from a message the seller responded to for more info. The person thinks one was nitrogen and one co2. I asked for close ups of the labels...

What gage are we taking here and what would a 1000' cost? Not that it'll matter now but very curious for future ref. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Good advise. Thanks Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Very informative. Thank you. Are the valve types (CGA-320 vs CGA-580) usually printed on the valve somewhere? Sorry for so many questions, but the drive for the cylinders is significant and lacking experience, don't want to end up with scrap metal [emoji846] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I can think of a few reasons why the owner might not know. Like the owner passed and the family is selling off his stuff for one. I'll certainly ask though and appreciate this advice/heads-up. Since I know nothing about these cylinders, is the "pin index" readily identifiable? And if I know...

Not sure exactly what you mean by underground cable. These systems come with direct burial 22 awg solid wire. Small gage, I know but what can I say. With the price of copper these days, going to a larger gage seemed like it *might* buy me an extra year or two before the next break. My soil is...

I've found a couple of used cylinders on a local sale site. Guy says "he thinks" one is/was nitrogen and the other co2 & I'm guessing are 80 cf since the guy described them as ~3' tall. I asked him to confirm the contents. My question is "does anyone think I can exchange these at TSC for argon...

'cause the pex is about 15% more expensive (at least at HD) and I've never worked with it before. If I spent more time on the design, I might have been able to make it lay in a continuous roll of pex and then it would certainly have been worth the extra cost, but I gotta get 'er done before I...

Have to lay in a new wire for my dogs' invisible fence. Each time I get about 3-4 years before breaks begin to develop. So this time I'm laying in 1/2" pvc conduit so hopefully it won't break again and if it does, it'll be pretty easy to fish through a new wire. Started pouring outside so I...

Awesome! Keep the cars in the driveway. No problemo [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Re: BEFORE & AFTER....A Tool Polisher's Haven I just picked up this old Milwaukie rt angle drill at an estate sale over the weekend. Didn't notice the crack in the handle but I can make the repair invisible if I can get someone to weld it. Can someone tell me if these cases are made out of...

Outlawmws, thank you for this list. It'll be very helpful as I learn more about this vice (spelling is intentional :-) . As for my intentions for its use, I'll restore it and give it to my other son who now wants one because I restored a Dunlap of the same size for my younger son. It'll be his...

Picked this little 3 1/2" up at an estate sale this morning. It's been used, but fair to good shape. Markings on the first side say: The Desmond Stephan Mfg Co Urbana Ohio Second side: (looks like) Simplex Utility No 350 With all the knowledge on this thread, I'm hoping someone can tell me a...
