Breakers are sized for the wires used, dont short cut it to save a few dollars, thats how fires happen most installiations require 8ga THHN for 50 amps

and here I come along lol 230 amps is OUTPUT not the draw. which would be more than 99% of what all houses have available. According the the welders back plate I found on the internet, it draws 48 amps max, so connecting to a 30 amp dryer plug will work for most things, the 50 amp stove plug for anything it is capable of doing What plug is on it now?

where did you get the idea that it has to be annealed before forging? looks like you may have burnt it, also 90 minutes it a bit long that causes massive grain growth and damages the steel, as you found out

I added it for ya Scott NC

Didnt you notice the section above called JABOD - Just A Box Of Dirt? but leave out the concrete you dont want that in there

Take a look in the knife making sections for its heat treating information. We have a separate section for blades because of the thickness issues, as well as the unusual steels used in knifemaking, I also agree that your chart is for 1/4 inch thick (6mm) as it states itself on the graph. The other numbers at the bottom are depth removed after heat treatment showing how far they are ground down, which is showing the depth of the decarb layer. Perhaps this is a language thing causing confusion. I lived in Germany in 1978 and made many errors due to language myself so I can understand. Also knowing English has many regional differences only adds to confusion.

You are not the only person reading this thread. Other people need to be aware of the dangers of unsealed koawool. When did you ever say sealed? I said it needs to be sealed, if it is there is no worry. But dont worry about me wont bother you again

his lungs, he will find out, at least he has 2 of them

its not safe to use Koawool with out sealing it

A friction folder is the most simple to make

or like bubble tea?

I am typo king, Auto correct is supposed to help I fixed it

Ada (and the rest of us) have been happy with using Seresto

so many people ignore the easy and safest way to prevent freezing, is to just use a properly sized tank for the rate of release

buy the 12 inch, its not that far to the window. Dont cause yourself problems, you need to breath

as a type 2 myself I drink Body Armor. the sugar free and its low carb

Dale Russel, Frosty, Thomas and I were on it.

Thomas was one of the original IFI curmudgeons, we even have him on an IFI T-shirt, I think he got one when we bumped into each other at quad state a few years ago

Hard to tell with his posts wording

I am IBEW 305 and a first aid & CPR instructor and an EMT, and I call you on your nonsense as well. you are no real union member either. Indianapolis hall would not allow welding with out PPE If you really are a member, then you need to retake your OSHA30 class you missed something there

one problem with using the wheel that way is the wheel changes shape as you grind, which means so does your fuller channel

the few RR spike blades that are good, at least have a high carbon edge steeled onto them

Read the heat treating posts that is pinned to this section., it explains why RR spikes wont harden, I am too lazy to re type all that again here

should work fine for a few things, just not for blades
