    Metal Dust Collection

    Where I work at does stamping and molding, our tool room has a Torit unit for all the grinders and it works great.

    Welder- 240V

    Thank you guys for that info. I incorrectly assumed that the compressor was going to pull less amps than my welder

    Welder- 240V

    I run a 50 amp breaker and 6 GA wire for my welder and am currently wiring a 40 amp with 8 GA wire for my air compressor. The idea is I could also run a smaller welder on the 40 amp circuit if I am doing sheet metal mig work. Both outlets will have 50 amp plugs.

    Metal Dust Collection

    Thank you for the info, I figured a wood dust collector would not work. I guess it will be a respirator until I can pick up a Torit

    Metal Dust Collection

    I do a lot of metal work, cutting and grinding and now plasma cutting, handheld and eventually CNC. What are some recommendations for metal dust collection. I do not want to spend $1000+ on a Torit or Grizzly system. Would the cheaper 1 hp or 2hp dust collectors meant for wood working work...

    The MOST efficient use of space!

    It's cool in a video but I bet it ***** to work in. I think a 20x20 is about as small as you want to go.

    Bauer Car Polisher

    I have the bauer brand and used the old coupon to get it for $59. It worked good on the one panel I polished, It is not super well balanced, hands will definitely get a work out! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Help with Pyrex cups for TIG

    He said he didnt want that extra stuff. I was in the same boat, the CK 4 series is what you need for a stubby gas lens for a 17 series torch btw. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Condensation Issue

    I am in NC and have a similar issue, but with attached 2 car garage. My walls arent dripping but my floor is soaked and car is soaked too. I think going from 20 to 60 deg in a few days has a lot to do with it, but I am gonna check to see how my garage is ventilated as well Sent from my...

    aircraft stripper paint stripper - alternatives?

    Sounds like you need adequete ventilation and a good respirator. I'd rather do the sanding disc method. I did use this years ago to strip a mountain bike frame, it took many coatings because I think it was powdercoated but it worked...

    1965 GMC build

    Nice job so far! Some nice parts on this build, and good choice on the 4L80E, better to change now then after the first burnout when the 700R4 would have broken.

    Such thing as a nice 110v MIG welder?

    I've used a Northern tool Ironton and Lincoln SP135T, both worked fine, but I bought an Everlast Tig and haven't looked back.
