Yep we have them and there on special this month lol. We call it the smootharc elite multiprocess 180 puls Ever gas and gear should have ...

I'm using Nicholson brand industrial files as I have always had good luck with those So a half round bastard cut for shaping after cu...

Yepo that's the one
And when you print them there to scale so like me you can cut them out and transfer the drill centers

Locking a chuck without a lock,, open headstock , insert rag between chuck gear and main drive gear ,,, locked

I have the drawings for them and a lathe with enough swing to get the job done but I need to build a radius tool to do it ,,, sigh another reject lol

I brought the jd2 die ( expensive lol)
ATM I'm bending 1 1/8 x .120 wall dom steel tube
The reason I built the bender and stand is so doing that I saved the amount of money I needed to buy a die set
And I built it wide enough to take up to the 2.5 inch die

Bender works great , just like a bought one

There is flux cored wire made to do this
I'll check the numbers of the lincon one I sell the coke mill
They use it on the coke crushing rollers to build them up for re machining
They just plié it on top of its self

With the technology in today's MIGs you can pretty much do anything with them

Over the past 18 months I have been building tools to make life easier in the workshop. First up I wanted to build a welding bench that let me clamp anyware and every ware So I come up with using I beams that can be clamped anyware on the table So I made the base http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...

I was lucky enough to pick up a macc cold saw cheap at a auction a few years back I love it , but the cost is big , for it to be efficient at cutting you need quite a few blades because you need to match your teeth count to the metal your cutting For solid bar like 1 inch bright bar you need a 120 1...

Buy I see day in and day out Welders with there heads in a cloud of welding vapor , I think because the effects...

Oh the black art of strokes tuning, I've built a lot of 2 stokes but never ventured into expansion chamber design My basic understanding is they are tuned lenght , because 2 strokes don't have valves they use returning exhaust plus to push the full mix back into the combustion chamber just as the pi...

When it comes to the pro gear we leave that to the German company ewm , Here is my picomig mig 180 multiprocess plus Maybe you could start a thread with more pictures and a review of these machines in the MIG section. I have a sweet spot for welding machines abroad. Seeing I have stated that I work...

BOC is a gas manufacture mostly , Out the back of my office is 2 massive air separation units that pump oxy direct to the port kembla steel mills. We also have our own range of consumer Welders and light industrial stuff. When it comes to the pro gear we leave that to the German company ewm , Here i...
