Old Chuckie2009 sure liked the Everlast machines. I miss him. I never saw the video that was so controversial but honestly I dont care. He helped me weld better I didn't go to him for political opinions. Rant over. Anyway why no wire feed process? I think it is so much nicer especially on...

I break down alot if pallets. I did like 30 in an afternoon a few weeks ago. My best method is to slice just inside of the side beams with a circular saw. Be careful the boads will move and bind on the saw. Then you are left with 2 nails holding each board in the center. These could be pried but...

Sorry I'm late to the game and don't mean to confuse you but I had a thought. What about adding a tongue to your current cart and using a cheap Craigslist lawn tractor to back it up the ramp into your garage. Be cheaper than a crane. Also I plus one for having a small lunchbox welder. I could...

I love my m18 but is is expensive if use is low. For hand pump: Go to a farm sale and buy a half dozen for $20. Pick out the best 2. One with flex hose and one with hard tube. Clean and paint. Sell the other 4 for $5 each on FB marketplace. You are good to go with a couple old high quality...

Yup can't stand "maker space". Or for that matter calling yourself a "maker". If you a respectable human you should be making something. You might be making wood projects, metal projects, money, a bussiness, sales, family, dinner... we were created for a purpose and if you aren't creating...

How about a different approach? I dont know a 510 intimately but many of the machines of this type have studs that are just pressed into a plate that is easily accessed. What about just grind, drill, or torch the nut off than replace the stud. If they are this hard to break loose the threads...

I got busy with life and haven't been on here in a couple years. (New farm, new job, 2 babies, moving ) but the red disease has been growing in my toolbox recently. Recently dumped the last of my c3 tools. I was waiting till they died but finally got impatient and wanted M12. Recent adds are...

Thanks everyone! I did pick up some Johnson Wax for exactly that purpose. I was really concerned about the internals though. I'm guessing the belt you referred to is the variable speed belt inside the head. I have a harbor freight miter saw. It will do for my purposes. I do desperately need...

I just got a Shop Smith out of storage. It was my grandfather's. It has definitely not been turned on since he died 15 years ago maybe longer up to 20 years. What should I do before I turn it on. What all should I lubricate. Second question i am a beginner wood worker. What tools should I use...

Powered it up and ran a little bit of flux core. It laid a pretty nice bead even though I am not a good...or really even a bad welder lol. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Was it supposed to have a .035? I guess I have to call too. I just picked up a spool of flux core and a few pounds of 6011. A bottle will have to come later. I can't wait to try it out. I got forney brand. It is what the store I was at had and it will basically just be for practice. what do...

I agree completely with you but I need some place to put in the required hours of practice where I am not preventing production. I have had a little bit of training but no practice. I want to practice to learn where I need help. I hope this makes sense. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage...

I am not an expert (just bought my welder lol) but the HF one you mentioned is a 125 amp flux core machine. The one I bought is 140 amp multiprocess. It will do stick, flux and mig it is also ready for a scratch start Tig torch and a spool gun. Those are the differences. I could give some...

I normally agonize over a 5 dollar purchase for a long time but I couldn't pass this up. Metal Man 140 multi process welder https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/metal-man-120v-140a-mp-inverter-welder I currently live in a house owned by my employer and they don't want to put 220 in...

I will have one for this summer. I almost bought one last year...now I will be working outside not in an office. It will be a need. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Ohhh....HF used to sell one that was for oil. Just like the Northern Tool one linked earlier. So that is the one you use with oil alot?

Huh I might try it. Hmm maybe I should wire it with an Milwaukee m12 battery. That would be super convenient. I have lots of m18 but I think that would burn it up lol. I don't think HF still sells them though. At least I can't find them on the website. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage...

I don't think you read the post. I am dealing with clean oil. Disposal is easy there is a big tank....just dump it in. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Mostly because I asked about the one on northern tool and got this response. I assumed HF was the same. Looks the same anyway. If you say it works it looks like a good way to go. I have to do oil outside sometimes in the cold. Sent from my XT1635-01 using The Garage Journal mobile app

In my situation I have bulk oil rack but it is 1/4 mile from where I use it. I needs good way to transport it in a truck in reasonable quantities (5 gallons or so). I often have to put it into equipment that is not easy to fill so something with a hose would be awesome. Some of the equipment...
