Re: Table saw cart...
Nice! I like the way you've housed the front caster and allowed it to rotate within the enclosure, and the choice of 3 contact points is great for uneven surfaces. There are 4 casters... the small section is for the saw, large end supports the extension table and will be a shelf. There will be 6 le...

Re: Mig Welding Basics part 3
Well after watching part 3 I decided to check the wire feed speed and set for a project I was working on. It was interesting to see the speeds when I was actually getting. Apparently the Hobart handler changes the base wire feed speed depending on the tap settings. "0" on tap 1 gave me 115...

Re: Gloves
Just bought a pair of Tillman 30 Pigskin to try... (This is only my 3rd pair of TIG gloves since '75 ...)
They look to be a little tougher and possibly better for radiant heat
What I would really like to see/try are some TIG gloves made with Yak or Kangaroo leather....

Re: Plasma Circle guide
Thanks,
Everything was ordered from McMaster-Carr .... probably spent $50 with a couple revisions!
Should be easy enough for the center pin, but I wanted the magnet to help keep the torch vertical that is the main reason for the needle bearing holding the torch.

Looks like I am starting to narrow it down to a "pre-owned" MM350P or a possible deal on a Invision 352MPa.S-74MPa Plus package.... I can go New MM252 for about $2300 or hope to find a MM350P around $3000 and can get a Invision 352MPa/S-74MPa around $4200... You know, the old logic, spend ...
