Welcome!

I wouldn't buy (any brand) combination Plasma/Welder. If one side goes down and it's in the shop for repair, you're done cutting AND welding.

Your Son really CAN weld!

do you think he'll grow into those gloves, or wear them out first?

LOL!

Looks like he could out-weld all of us! Great shot!!!!

I like the kids best!

Try grinding/sanding with the edge of the disc. Also try a courser grit.

Looks like you got some helmet time welding aluminum! Looks Good!

Look at these saws they are like a cold saw but do not use coolant. At 300 to 400 bucks it is my main metal cutting saw.

Here's a project I machined and welded. I started with a photo arm having 1/4-20 threads and attached it to the indicator with a part I machined. The other end of the photo arm to an indicator base that had a 8mm thread. So I decided to make a fine adjust mechanism to attach the photo arm to, avoidi...

You might consider building something like this:

Not much out there other than the one shown. Why not modify it a bit?

Here's my latest prototype clamp (modeled after Fireball Tool's clamp) used to reach areas where this clamp wouldn't reach.

Looking good! If you go online you can find grill covers that will fit pretty close, to replace the rag on top of your MP210. As CJ suggested, you got to get bigger tanks! Your cart reminds me of my other cart I built.

It looks good but expensive!

Welcome! My cert-flat table is one of the best thing I have bought for my shop! I haven't found anything I haven't been able to clamp down to weld. As far as clamps, make your own. Harbor Freight has what you need and it a good start. You just need to buy 1 1/2" X 3/16" flat stock and 5/8&...

What are your speeds in RPMs? Are the pulleys diameters designed to maintain a slower speed? In other words Is it ready to be assembled as shown? Are you going to put a tru-hole in the spindle of the chuck for purging? Are you going to put the ground on the spindle and then isolate the speed on cont...

AMr Pete ( Your You Tube Shop Teacher) I am anything but a youtube warrior and all my YT searches come up with is nonsense when I try to find this guy.
