  1. I have one of those 12 dollar swing type sharpeners i got from grizzly.com set up on my 12" disc sander and its perfect for bits of all angles. It will even make a regular bit into a perfect flat bottom drill for the times you need one. But i don't think it would work on the bullit ones with the extended point...Bob

  2. I see that stuff almost daily come into my shop. Someone's neighbor got a welder for his birthday and now he is a welder. Granted we all start someplace but i don't remember ever doing work like that. Here are 3 pics i had handy..
    Pic 1 My driveshaft wobbles...
    Pic 2 My mower needs welded and my neighbor just fixed it....
    Pic 3 Can you fix my wood splitter. My uncle tried to weld it and now it needs done right...Bob

  3. I have a bottle of CO2 and a bottle of 75/25 and i went back to the CO2 for 90% of my welding. One reason is i can "waste" some of the cheaper CO2 outside in the wind because i turn it up a little. But the 75/25 is better for thin stuff. Depends what the steel is for splatter. HRS leaves more splatter then smooth CRS type steels prob because of the scale...Bob

  4. Unfortunately Hobart is just a division of Miller these days,.


    Actually ITW owns both brands, they compete against each other. I have a MM185 which prob would compare to a new Miller MM210 or so and mine is also rated for 3/8" plate but on small parts you can fudge that a little. Here are a few pics of 1" plate welded to 3/8" plate with Dual shield gas fluxcore and CO2. I wouldn't want to do it all day but a few parts won't hurt...Bob
