I am looking for this in Trinidad for concrete countertop

Maybe that's why... stomp out the competition.

at first a few years ago
the stick welders were the hot stuff but now they are dime a dozen

so now they making the 3in1 machines and plasma cutters.

the inverter tech is fairly mature and commoditized now.
them stick welders are basically just a circuit board.

might be buying one soon, really good unit from what i saw from the page.

it does MIG stick and TIG, has co2 for the mig, does both 110v and 220v welding, the tig setup is a DC TIg so only stainless and carbon steel. No aluminum TIG on that unit. The Tig setup with regulator for argon is $1700

I currently have one of the flux core 110v model and it does alot of work around my house, building all kinda burglar proof, brackets, removing broken bolts ect. the good thing about mig flux core is that its super portable, throw and move, Once yuh have wire, thing could happen.
3/16 it could weld easily.

Aside weight, I got around to converting my lincoln AC 225 to DC and I’m presently completing the assembly of a high freq arc starter/stabilizer add on to it. I gotta look into to argon setup with torch after some testing.

That's an interesting project.

Nice, a good choke transformer rectifier supposed to give a smooth arc.

You can also look at adding a digital amp shunt display

loads of these types, of course the only catch is it displays when in use.

Anyone know a good fridge repair person in central area. Someone legit who wont make me buy unnecessary parts.

[maj. tom]

Call Reliable Parts in Chaguanas tmrw and ask them, stating the make and model of your fridge. They have a few technicians on their call list who work with different brands.

I may need a CO2 bottle for the two times each year that I want to use a MIG torch inside. Do you have an opinions?

I would be willing to refill between Trincity and POS.

i bought a soft drink type aluminium co2 tank on amazon
about 3ft tall or so. there are diff sizes.

i initially rented the igl big steel cylinder but didn’t make sense as the rent cost outstripped the deposit. a pia to transport too.

visit your refiller and ask them about it.
There are small bottles being sold on the market, very similar to a portable medical oxygen tank/diving tank.
i would recommend purchasing a personal bottle. one time fee, re inspection every 10 years or so i think.

[pugboy]

Those bottles work out more expensive than the soft drink co2 ones On amazon
At least when I was shopping around.

NHTSA recall: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/co ... is%20issue

There are two separate recalls for the jack stands. NHTSA recall 20E016 involves an estimated 454,000 units that were produced from June 13, 2013, to November 22, 2019. NHTSA recall 20E027 involves an estimated 1,254,000 units that were produced from December 1, 2012, to March 31, 2020.

Given these numbers and dates, it's a guarantee that some car maintenance shops and home users in Trinidad are currently using these recall models.



Details of the failure: https://www.motortrend.com/news/harbor- ... fety-tips/

[pugboy]

lot of those sold locally

[maj. tom]

Pass it round on Whatsapp, those who are connected. You know this is a life/death situation if those jack stands fail.

[hindian]

Fellas where can I get fender mats to buy locally? I've checked a few places but nothing came up...

Hey folks any recommendations on a Generator for home use?

Also any reviews on this brand....

Supposedly the Chinese copy of the B&S OHV engine, if that helps.

This machine at 9000 Watts/75A-120V should be enough to power everything in a medium-sized home if you turn off your air conditioning. It will also power-up nearly any welder that you will come across.

[pugboy]

that is a large sized one
Unless you plan to run lot of stuff and run a sub panel as a dedicated backup
might be more portable to get slightly smaller like a 7000

[9YDMS]

Thats for the info...was more concerned about the brand/parts availability/reliability etc

[pugboy]

Check them small engine repair places
They will know the issues of repairs
