    Miller Pipeworx 350 Field Pro

    Hi all, Miller welder question here. I recently acquired a Miller Pipeworx Field Pro 350. I'd like to use this as a power source for a wire feeder. I'm quite aware of the 7000 dollar smart feeder it is intended to run and I know it will run a 12vs extreme. It has a 14 pin connector. I'm curious...

    Last I was there I found a 1/2 comfort grip gearwrench ratchet on the floor. I couldn't find where it came from though! Had to price check it to find out it was 50 bucks!

    Metabo vs Fein. Opinions please.

    It took a record 17 posts for somebody to bring up a brand you didn't ask about :lol: I've only used a fein angle grinder once. It was long handled and had a strange squeeze type trigger on it. I believe it was meant to keep both of your hand on it at the same time. However it did start very...

    Some type of clamp? Plumb bob?

    Agree with chevelle. It's a flange opener for changing gaskets in-place. Never made since to me though, if ever there was a gasket leaking it needed brushed and scraped off and required alot ore room than that thing provides! As far as the plumb bob, that is something that every millwrights in...

    Anyone else ever win on ebay accidentally?

    I've passed up in some things due to shipping as well, I dropped the ball on this one. Many years ago I won a bid on a socket set. It was a 425 dollar SK 3/4 drive set. A week went by and no shipping. Another week went by and I finally have a tracking number. I went back and forth over this with...

    Anyone else ever win on ebay accidentally?

    So am I the only one that does this? Find something you kindof like for a good price and shoot a bid in the dark thinking you'd never win at that price? Well it happens to me semi often. However recently it kindhd duped me. I was bidding on a veto pro tech mtc bag. I bid 65 dollars on it...

    2767 vs 2763

    Has anyone had extensive experience with both? Let me start by saying that I'm heavily invested in the m18 platform. For nearly 5 years I had the same 2763 first gen Fuel High-torque impact. Until about 4 months ago when a thief relieved me of it. It was used very heavily and not once ever let...

    Milwaukee M12 tools that are worth it?

    It's pretty noisy for sure, and don't let it get wet. I'm on my third one, really the only complaint I have on it is the screw on chuck, I'd prefer the clip on chuck. As far as M12 tools that are totally worth it my list is as follows: Stubby 3/8 Impact for bolts 1/2 and under with a 3.0...

    Milwaukee fuel 90 degree die grinder accessories?

    The sky is the limit on these. I didn't know I had such a use for a 90 degree die grinder until I bought one of these I'd start with the 1-1/2 roloc disc holder. From there it's scotch bright pads, zirc flap wheels, polishing discs, and diamond pads. The uses are endless. Your current use for...

    Using Drill Press, Bits, End Mills....

    Should be fine. Just make sure you get the right end mill as some of them won't cut in the center. I don't know how big your piece is but an aftermarket x y axis would make this much easier. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009E0E9YK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Put a piece of cloth between your drill and the sheet metal. It give you a nice round hole. Don't know why but it works

    What are 1 3/8 and 1 5/16 wrenches used for? (please share what you use them for))

    7/8 bolts have a 1-5/16 head. 7/8 bolts are used in pipe flanges about 8 inch. Various other uses in industry where I work. I'm not sure what 1-3/8 is used for as far as bolts go though. I've got on in the box but an it's been used quite a bit! Not sure on what though!

    cut off wheel

    I've used metabo slicer discs alot and they cut great but vanish quickly. Make sure you get the .045 and not the .040 as you'd be surprised at how much they little thickness makes the difference in stoutness. My favorite wheel has to be the CGW. They last and cut very well in a variety of...

    M12 Die Grinder

    I got mine for 159.99 for the bare tool. I didn't think that was out of line. Every time I use it I think that price is better and better! I love mine the Idea that I can just pull it out with a scotch brite pad and sharpen something or clean something with no cord is just awesome! Ive had die...

    Star Hamrtwist?

    They are used by rock climbers to put anchors in for new routes when climbing. Search rock climbing anchor drill. To me I'd rather carry a full size battery drill up a wall than bang on one of these for 5 minutes at a time!
