I have no idea what brand tool I bought, but I bought my spot weld cutters off the Snap On truck and bought maybe 10 extra cutters. Several have mentioned using cutting fluid, and while that may help with the tool life it also pollutes the area you're going to be welding in. I would never use...

I've seen a lot of PRO Guys forgo the drill bits and spot weld cutter for a 1/2" finger sander nowadays. I am getting ready to replace both rocker panels on one of my AMC Hornets and that's the what I plan to use. Tom

A bare 911 tub, depending on year weighs between 500-600 lbs., so if you were careful those casters would probably live when you turned it over with two guys. :rolleyes: Tom

It would be expensive. Get a quote on one and let us know. I like a unit that holds it on the ends. Thinking those round hoops will get in the way. This is what I am looking at buying. Titan ROT-4500-G2 Automotive Rotisserie | Wholesale Lifts New model that just came out, upgrade from G1...

It(they) will be going on the frontend of a top secret AMC Hornet Hatchback project. LOL Tom

If you need to drill a hole over the 1/2" size you can buy Silver & Deming drill bit that maintains a 1/2" shank, but allows you to get a bit all the way up to 1" in size. You can buy them in set like this set, or you can buy individual bits. They are actually very reasonably price for what...

Here's an Opal GT spindle I ream the top side ball joint hole larger so it will take a VW Beetle ball joint. The bottom fits fine and doesn't need any reaming. I make the cups to press the ball joints in and fabricate the upper and lower control arms for race car front suspensions using this...

A drill bit is a terribly imprecise way to drill a hole if you want precision because they wobble around. Drill presses are to sloppy in the quill to drill a nice round hole. Using a Bridgeport, or similar mill will allow a pretty precise hole because the quill is more robust. I lock the quill...

@HankRearden Tell us Hank what did you end up buying? Inquiring minds would like to know. :thumbsup: Tom

I would buy the Everlast over the Primeweld for the 5-year warranty and all the perks that come from a product that has no sales tax, plus free shipping. Primeweld only gives you a 3-year warranty. Tom

You can buy a new Everlast for less than Miller wants to repair a unit a lot of the times. The Miller machines of the old days are definitely not the Miller machines of today. Tom

I would look into buying one from Everlast. MIG Welders For Sale - MIG Welding Machines - GWAM Welding - Everlast When I bought a 185 AC/DC TIG from them it was no sales tax, free shipping, and the industry best 5-year warranty. I've never had any issues with it, and a lot of times you can...

Be careful with that, or you'll shoot your eye out. Tom

I had a 1/2 HP motor off of my dad's Rockwell drill press rewound about 10-years ago because we could not find a replacement with the correct frame. It had aluminum start windings and copper run windings, but the armature was in wound in the middle 1/3. They rewound it with copper starts and...

A cheap dial indicator and a magnetic base are the ideal tools for this task. You can get both at Harbor Freight for very little money. Tom

This is why I bought the JS Tool shrinker stretcher because it has finer serrations on the dies. They also have a bevel cut all the way around the top of the dies that to my knowledge none of the others have or use. Tom

Yes, I am aware the OP is in the US, but you posted, "I've been looking for a cheap used one for 1 job." So I quoted you and mentioned Princess Auto since you are in Canada. Tom

Princess Auto has sales on them all the time. https://www.princessauto.com/en/searchresults?Ntt=shrinker stretcher Tom

I have a JS Tools unit and I consider it to be the finest shrinker stretcher made. They are manufactured in Sweden and have superior jaws compared to anything else produced. Ron Covell is a pitch man for them. I went to a metalworking workshop and learned the differences of all the brands made...

Not sure how big you were looking to go, but I could set you up with this combination. :rolleyes: Tom

That must be the Eastwood store in Alsip, IL? Tom

The Eastwood is on sale for $149 and then you can get an extra !0% off with code , YETI , but then they want to stick me with $18 shipping. I am thinking no more than I would use it I'll wait for a Harbor Freight sale. Then if it breaks down it will be an easy replacement. Tom

Does anyone own or have used one of these tools? They look interesting and by the same token they look like they could do some serious damage if one weren't careful with it. Eastwood CONTOUR SCT® - Surface Conditioning Tool Thanks, Tom

I finally had to change the belt today. It pushed in great, but wouldn't pop back out until I cleaned the fiberglass dust out of it. Also got some 80-grit 3M Cubitron II belts from Amazon in today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB3OFSO?tag=fabo03-20 It's all loaded and ready to go when I need...

Mine hasn't slipped, so I've had no need to read the instructions yet. I don't even know how to change the belt yet. :rofl: I'll probably watch a YouTube video to learn all about it when I need to do something to it. While I didn't stay at a Motel 6 last night, I did use it on some more...

Tried the $36 WEN out last night and it took care of what I needed done with ease. Two of my friends both bought one today. LOL Tom

I ordered an electric Wen off Amazon a few days ago because I needed a cheap one quick for sanding fiberglass on the inside of a hood scoop I am reconfiguring. The scoop originally only had a 2-1/4" vertical height opening and I thought it would be much nicer with 3-1/4" height...

Thinking I need one of these, but not sure what to buy. At the moment all I need it for is touching up some fiberglass where nothing I have can reach in the proper orientation. What's your take on them? Thanks, Tom

I think it's really important to have a good helper. Luckily I have one, and she also has a great boat. :p Tom
