Tools from the old world

[Monte]

You bought another grinder? Eh.. I mean

yeah sorry i forgot that i already have one.... Alzheimer.....

Thanks fellas.
I have hardly ever used Kemppi before but it has good reputation over here.

In my experience, only the "biggest and best" single phase MIG welders using full size wire roll are usable(180-200A). Over the years I have tried several small units and I generally hate them. Either the power source is junk or more frequently the wire feeder, usually both ****!

So I broke two rules buying this welder. It is single phase and it uses 5kg wire roll. But this one uses high freq. inverter technology instead of the good old 50hz transformer. Different animal. And so far the wire feeder works smooth, actually much better than it looks. The wire feeder motor alone in the old Migatronic pictured above is probably as heavy as my Kemppi welder without wire.

Kemppi gives full two year warranty if this machine is used in professional environment - single 8 hour shift. If used two 8 hour shifts - warranty drops to one year.

New welders are usually very nice and only time will tell how good it really is. But unpacking and brief testing tells me a lot of care was put in this unit. Cables, gas hose, welding gun are very different quality than cheaper brands.

The inverter welders actually are quite nice, i once borrowed a Kemppi welder when my old welder was defective, and the inverter had a real nice arc no matter how you hold the torch and it ignited every time the wire hit the workpiece. Before i also was like: 3-phase only, 15 kg wire, 4 wheel wire feed motor, the bigger + heavier the better (more copper inside, instead of aluminium wire) etc. But i still like my old one because it takes the cheaper 15 Kg wire, it carries the bottle too, and i can use the top as storage for a grinder + welding helmet etc.

SJS: is some kind of emergency clutch ?

yeah something like that
don´t know
here some vids:

I am planning to buy new 125mm grinder, wondering if variable speed is worth paying for.

might be useful for cleaning discs, SC-discs or flap wheels maybe so the stainless steel which you grind don´t turn blue. Bosch GWS 11-125 CIE for example...

[canuckian]

Here's part 1 of a couple orders I placed with Gj member Jensputier recently. The 916-1 1/2 ratchet is amazing! The wee bit ratchet is pretty darn cool as well but I think the thing I got the biggest charge from was the Hazet bottle opener that Jens surprised me with! that thing is pretty slick!

Part 2 (MUCH bigger lot) should be here on Wednesday!!

 

[Rusik]

Yes. Left Ratcheting Screwdriver. handle like a pistol

Very nice toolkit.

Bahco 80 tooth Koken Zeal 36. The Bahco grip is very nice, slightly tacky. A quality lower priced alternative to Snap-on soft/hard handled 80 tooth ratchets. Still can't touch the Koken in terms of smoothness or compactness.

Mr. Tools,
That's quite the level, and it's the first time for me to hear that company.
Thanks for showing us.
They are geared towards the machinist trades, and built in Niigata prefecture : RSK

Actually I have know idea where a level comes from..maybe it comes with machine It not mine but I used it for my daily jobs at factory.
Btw: Thanks for the link.

I've been a lucky son in many ways. Tools are mine now as my dad passed away a few years ago after a long and happy life.

Sorry to hear about your father North, nice to see you could use his tools

Thank you. Yeah, I enjoy using his old tools both because they are good tools and because they bring a LOT of good memories.
