When you're moving 8000 lbs. of anything around it feels like the R rated version.

I've often wondered how fishing tournaments could pay any sort of money. TV money is where it's at, but even then, I can't imagine sitting and watching fishing on TV. Kudo's to the guy for making it work to his advantage, he must know that lake inside and out. He gave me some good tips, and a conta...

I've got 4 of those ratchet style chain tighteners and they're are fantastic. Slower, but so much safer than the traditional kind. Maybe not more secure, just a LOT less likely to hurt you. Actually if the vehicle being towed weighs more than 10,000 lbs. it's is required to use chains and a minimum...

4 x 3/8" Grade 70 Durabilt 20' chains, 2 x 5/16" Grade 70 Durabilt 20' chains, 8 x ratchet binders.

Black Gloves Matter!

They arrived...very comfortable, too hot to try them out, but they fit well.

Anyone else think the 4 seconds of post flow is very short ? unless your using small diameter tungsten at low amps try longer post flow. Probably a bit short, but I don't think we should distract the crux of the problem, which 4 seconds of postflow is not causing, IMO. I've used 4 seconds of post f...

What size cup are you using?

Those CK Gas Savers should be fine, make sure you're not sucking air.

Your 380CPS should be pretty much the same as my 380. It only took a min. to download the FREE decibel meter. 8-) I used a 1in x 1/8 angle with flanges on the deck, V up. 66 tooth factory blade the same. :mrgreen: I shamefully admit I haven't even been in the shop over the past week.

If the grading was similar to school I wouldn't give you a fail, but would probably give you a D, below average.

No, it wasn't the same blade. The Evo 36 tooth blade made the first cut, then the Diablo made the 2nd cut. So you're talking about 108db vs. 105db between the 2 blades? The overall loudness is very very close in relative level, that I'm not denying. homeboy got 73db vs. 76db on the Diablo vs. Evo. ...

LtBadd wrote:Is this the 14" Evo steel cutting blade with __number of teeth vs 90 tooth diablo?

Richard,

No, Oscar has the 36 tooth blade that comes on the Rage saw.

The video seemed the audio was about the same, maybe the same blade both cuts.

We need a comparison.

Are those the pig steel bits? I read those are definitely made in u.s.a., I think mine are but not entirely sure.

Will be curious to hear how you like those masonry bits.

They're indispensable. And they even work when you're trying to locate using an existing hole. Let's say you have a flat chunk of Steel that has a hole in it and you want to mount a reduction gearbox with four holes. Put 3 transfer screws in, line up the fourth hole with a bolt that's just in place...

Can I blame spell check, or should I chalk it up to a brain fart?

I should just add, the reason I say that about your Invertig 275-S is that many people say that’s one of the best Stick inverters, and I don’t think the Primeweld is even close when it comes to Stick. It’s good enough for me, but the Invertig could be taken to just about any job site and hold it’s o...

Yes, I was just curious as I'm getting a bit addicted to tig and while it does a pretty decent job even without a foot pedal, and I'm sure I'll pick one up in the future, I'm really thinking of still eventually adding the Primeweld to my arsenal due to how affordable it is. The PrimeWeld has exceed...

I wouldn't mind an update on it, anything you'd like to add now that you've spend some more time with it? I'm curious if you've hit the duty cycle yet, or pushed it hard. I've read that it's 40% maxed out at 225 which isn't bad at all if that's the case. Are you asking me? I've never hit the duty c...

I am able to weld steel perfectly with this set up. ... I have tried 4 very different pieces of Aluminium stock and they all look the same. IMO, your problem is your machine settings if you can weld steel. Are you certain you have your machine set for AC? Above in the thread you mention, "AC/D...
