    Welding Helmet Recommendations

    As a full-time welder and someone that welds way too much in my time off at home. Your eyes aren't all you should be looking out for. The day I got my first papr at work was the greatest revelation/salvation of my welding career. It wasn't more than 30 days and I purchased a second for welding...

    Wilton 9300N Bullet Vise Restoration

    I'd probably braze some brass into that void and then file shape. If you have the technology. But maybe that's just me and my like of dissimilar metal repairs. I'm no expert just a welder with a couple of brain cells left I think.

    Gantry crane/car lift

    What type of magic engineering will it take to keep the bottom of your legs from splaying out from the load of the car? I just forsee disaster but maybe I'm missing something.

    Input on Which Welding Setup to Keep

    Keep the v350 if you have the power to back it up. I think it's rated at 90amps on single phase 208v. And if you have 3 phase that's an even easier decision

    Vise query

    Calling all vise gurus. I saw this vise buried in a pallet lot at a local estate auction. I have an assortment of 8'' thru to 5'' vises and chain vises. Probably more vises than 1 man can really use. But what I don't have is a vise that looks anything like this. What is it/ what is it used for?
