Will check them out

I just managed to pick up my Tig Welder.

I'm in the market for durable hobbyist machines to support some light stainless steel and aluminum fabrication. I've checked out the online prices but it would be good to see what options are available locally. No duty on the imports but these things can be a bit heavy. I need:

- A 4x6 Bench Sander
-An 8'' Drill press
- A 10'' bandsaw

Who has decent prices locally? If anyone has recent estimates, that would be great too.

Get a portaband saw and build a table for it
Most convenient tool

I was consider this but I think it will severely limit the length of my sheet metal cuts (given the blade direction). You will essentially be cutting towards the saw with a table mounted portaband.

A dedicated table band saw positions the cut direction perpendicular to the saw itself so you have more flexibility for longer metal sheets..

Anybody saw oil drain pans selling? Need something sturdy, the half of container I have got a hole and with hot oil drain it gets really hard to hold (hot and bends).

went to check out the track for the sliding door.

they told me i just need to use the top track, run angle iron for the underneath and put a roller guide onto it as well as brackets at the end so when its closed, it wont be able to kick off the track at all.

Yea
That what i was telling you.
If it secured at the top and bottom
It cant come off either rail system.and will be really solid

[Chimera]

yea i was thinking that it would just be on the angle iron alone, i forget that they would put a roller guide as well as a bracket underneath and at the end to hold it in place

doing that project this weekend hopefully


yall ever see this item locally?

thinking of getting a firepit for the outside liming area

or ok, not bad man,
i looking for one to buy if you know anyone selling

[Ted_v2]

anyone sees the need for a 12 point socket set?

and where sells rolling tool chest for reasonable amount?

[Strugglerzinc]

12 pt are handy in tight spots where a 6 pt has to rotate too much to get onto a nut, 30 deg vs 60 deg. Convenient for the 1 time in 50 when you need it.

Also Toyota NZE 121 and up use a 12pt axle nut which is a fcuking pain in the balls when you didn't realize it and don't have a 32mm 12pt, but, I digress.

Tool chest will cost literally half or more the amount as locally if you get one from harbor freight and sea freight it in. HF chests have great reviews.

[Ted_v2]

I bought all my axle sockets in 12pt, non impact for that same reason above.

ill check into that.

[zaria]

looking for some advice

i need to make this into a sliding door on the inside of the room
(currently it swings outside but need to change that)

as you see, its off the ground on the inside (but its level with the floor on the outside)

how can i fashion it to make it secure that it cant be simply kicked off the track as well as make it lockable

I made a sliding door similar to what you have
I used 4” pice of flat steel with another piece of flats welded to the back and bolted to wall so the flats lifts off the wall abt 1/4”
On the door welded angle iron opposite to the one bolted to wall
When door slides close the angles interlock
Let me know if you need pics,my explanation ain’t all that.
Very very secure,impossible to kick in and no lower track needed so your wife can sweep the house properly.

Anybody saw oil drain pans selling? Need something sturdy, the half of container I have got a hole and with hot oil drain it gets really hard to hold (hot and bends).

Parts places have the ones which basically are a big sturdy bowl with a little spout for $40.

Cool, I will have to look around. Have a vehicle home now, draining two gallons of oil... The lil container I have barely holding it.

allied has the bench sander for around 600$, they also have the drill press too, a bit under 2000$.
the quality is DIY. The drill press in a skil and the bench sander is a skil or a Stanley. They also has some amazing price on vices, grabbed up a irwin mechanics vice there for 600$

bandsaw IDK, i would opt for a portable milwaukee and the adapter to make it into a stationary unit. Would be good for exhaust work ect, moving around and chopping stuff.

Have that same stand. Hardly used my band saw till I got the stand. Now cutting something every 3 days.

[Ted_v2]

Yeah. One day I hope to purchase a similar setup. Seems like a very handy setup.
