Has anyone played with the Evolution table saws? $500 at Total Tools and seem to get decent reviews from what I've seen

oops...wrong thread

I looked up the gas mixer that Rob mentioned...$1700ish new.
The fact that a $1700 gas mixer even exists probably means the process isn't as simple as I thought.

I think I'll grab a CO2 homebrew...

OK, sorry guys, but it's time for another stupid question.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a TokenTools MIG210S MIG/TIG/Stick machine, and am currently working out what to do about gas.

I'll...

Thanks guys. Great explanation. Makes much more sense than anything I came up with!

OK, time for a stupid question.

I know you need an AC TIG machine to TIG weld aluminium, and I understand the theory as to why (alternate cycles clean oxides, then weld).

I also know you can...

Looking at the Lincoln specs on the website it only mentions a 1.2mm roller being available for gasless wire. I guess this implies it won't be suitable for aluminium at all. Probably not really a...

Thanks for the input guys. It's starting to become clearer.

It looks like the Synergic function is something I'd want, so my choice is probably now between the 180i and the TokenTools MIG210S....

Yeah, I didn't do a very good job expressing that in my question. The TokenTools price is $764 with a 1 year warranty, or $849 with a 5 year warranty. To be honest I've never really felt comfortable...

Hi guys
I’m after a welder for general handyman use around the home. The majority of stuff I’d be doing is making framework out of 1.6-2.5mm RHS so I originally thought MIG would be the go. I’m now...

It's second hand from my brother in law, who's a big mac fan.

I don't do anything to it apart from the updates it installs automatically.

The lock ups aren't my biggest gripe, I guess I'm just...

I have been a PC user for many years, but acquired a mac laptop(G4) about a year ago.

I must say I have been pretty disappointed so far.

I get far more lockups and crashes on the mac than I...

Certainly not true in my case...my colours ain't going anywhere! :)

The process is exactly the same as what a photocopier uses, just with different colour toners.

Yep. Looked in to all of that. Still far cheaper than an inkjet! :)

With my usage I'll probably get 3 or 4 years out of the supplied toners anyway, and by that time it'll probably be cheaper to...

I bought one of those Samsung colour lasers recently, and I'd never go back to stuffing around with inkjets. Mine is the network version and cost me about $200 with a cash-back from Samsung.

The...

That's a good idea with the backing timber Dickiejim. Thanks for your input. :)

Interesting option, thanks Dickiejim.

How do you think mounting "on the flat" would compare strength-wise to Skew's "checking out" option? Purely from the point of view of the cupboard mounting...

Try this excellent video from Stu's Shed...

Thanks Skew....:2tsup:

Ahhh...that makes sense now. Thanks Skew.

That centre channel it pretty thin, so I don't know if I'd trust it on its own to support the bottom of the studs. I think I might go the full frame...

I was intending to line and insulate at some stage anyway, so I guess it would be a good idea to do that one area ( or maybe the whole wall) now.

If I did go with the vertical studs only, do you...

Hi all

I've got a nice solid cupboard unit which I want to mount to the wall of my colourbond shed. It's about 2m x 40cm x 75cm and was originally wall mounted in an office, so has a nice thick...

We've had a Miele, a Dishlex and a Fisher & Pykel over the years, and the Miele was by far the pick of the bunch (that we've used). It always got everything clean.

We found the Dishlex often...

A GOOD dishwasher using GOOD powder should have no problems removing baked on crud...I know ours gets everything off.

We never had a dishwasher until we rented a house with one a few years ago. It...

Yep...the first attempt was a Hilux. The "Toy-boat-a" ! That was a classic episode.

Actually, it was a Nissan :)

Nope...it is the year it was harvested.
