    Boat manufactures?????

    Will they ever bring manufacturing up to other industries current standards? How much longer can they manufacture wireing harnesses with sub standard connectors, and interiors with moisture affected materials? Yet constantly raise already inflated prices?.......

    Thinking about TIG'n

    Thinking about springing for a AC/DC TIG welder. I'd like one with HF start and some controllability of the TIG arc. Maybe pre and post flow control. Thinking of somewhere between 170 and 220 AMPS on a 220 unit. And it can't break the bank. Trying to keep it under 2K. Any thoughts???

    Ordered up Chinese Plasma cutter....

    I could not see parting with $800.00 to a thousand plus dollars for brand name a 50 AMP pilot start plasma cutter. But I did find a Chinese brand, LOTOS LTP5000D and figured for less than $400.00 its worth a gamble. It should be here in a week or so. We'll see then if I scored or just flushed my...
