places online to buy tig equipment/accessories
is there one or two places good that anyone can recommend?
i get the feeling my LWS is jerking me around slightly or at the least i want to make sure they aren't by comparing prices with some stuff.
google hasnt been much help in finding small stuff like tig torch assemblies.
thanks

Re: Flush Plate Calculator
what if you found a metal yard stick and used that to make your "tab measurement stick"?
that way, you not only get a real time fit up, but you get the measurement without have to grab a tape measure.
