Anyone knows where sells metal lathe locally. A bench top 1.
Looking to seabox 1 from amazon but want to see what is available locally.
Looking to get this before budget day.

ive been looking for a while mihself for one but nada. cah afford to pay them ridiculous machine shop price for simple non precision lathe work. a man charge me $150 to turn a 3/4" drill bit shank to 1/2" to fit in a drill. the bit cost about $80

Post a link for an example of what u had in mind.


... and does raptor still operate?

Pugboy, you talking about West Coast Fabricators, (the rasta) or the machine shop in the corner ( a white guy) . Also ,Lotec sells any size any length.

Also great information. I'll look here, too.

[cornfused]

The corner white guy, he has a decent variety.
He have a variety of welding machines too.

yeah i bought one from SSL inverter unit and it working good for small projects .
i am surprised because i running it on a normal 110v plug 15amp and it has never tripped the breaker
But i am not a professional welder i trying to learn for my self

[pugboy]

What size rods you use on 110v ?
The zx7-200 can work on 110v also but tried once with 12ga rods and it could barely start arc

[hong kong phooey]

It either 12 or 14 gauge . 6013 i will have to check
i have to turn down the current to about 60 when welding the thicker Rhs pipe because i burn holes in it . But with 1/4" flat bar and angle iron no issues. which weld about 90 amp .
Welded some stainless also with out issue using stainless rods .
Again I am no professional so my welds might be crap under proper inspections

[pugboy]

prob 14ga
but they tricky to use when the rod is long as it shakes a lot as flexible

[Ted_v2]

going to call down one of those 110v/220v razor weld. Got a great review today from someone who had it for a year, Hes a excellent welder

[pugboy]

prob very similar to the other Chinese igbt inverter units

[Ted_v2]

Yep, but SSL has the dealership and parts able to locate both locally and online, daz the diff.
2800$ not a bad price for a 220/110v unit.

Compared to $900 landed via skybox

Only Vat. No duty as it is a tool

Good Cheap stuff hard to find, might be best buying used. May sell my 20 gallon in a couple weeks. Have hopes of getting a larger unit.

I doubt that a customs officer will see it that way.
