Made in the U.S.A. That's reason enough for me. You might want to look on millers website. They also have a forum. http://www.millerwelds.com/

Thank you for the back up. Wish everyone knew how to O/A. They would understand what You and I are talking about.

Wow... That is something I wasn't aware of. You're right. The cost could of repairing could really hurt you. Kinda pointless to rebuild something when you want to build something else. The bubble was busted with me seeing I always look for a smaller Cman lathe even though that's a little hard to...

Oops.... Forgot Logan too..

Look for an older Craftsman/Atlas, Clausing or Hardinge lathe. They are always on Craigslist. Wish I had the room for one. Not too many ChiCom tools I would buy. Never a lathe or welder. My $.02 . What's your location-ish?

If you buy it... Will you let me take out a life insurance policy on you???

+1 Thank God I'm not the only one who knows this.

I agree with you on "some of that chinese stuff is o.k." There are alternatives without dropping big coin. Sometimes ChiCom sometimes used domestic made. Hf tools do have thier place. I prefer them NOT to be in my Hf cabinet. Yes I'm serious. I have one of those 41" combo set-ups. They are...

Actually all ages. These guys are dying by the thousands every day. Be happy with what you have. They my look old and frail but, they saved the world. http://www.wimp.com/secrethero/

Seeing you're local.. Start looking here. http://www.estatesales.net/estate-sales/IL/Chicago.aspx I see dozens of U.S. made ones within the past 6 months at various sales. I would start going to these. You can find 100% American made tools and equipment. I can only go on Saturdays to various...

Nice carnage.... Now that you're out a compressor. Have you given any thought to buying a used one at half the cost? Ton of smaller speedair and craftsman out there. Made in the U.S.A. too. I know you're from Toronto so, I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I'd start checking Estate sales...

Also in 300ML:wai: I have the head on my old triumph helicoiled for the rocker boxes. Haven't failed me yet.

it's meant to be that way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag Sounds to good to be true. :wai:

The weakest??? Ok... You're right... So all the airplanes and racecar chassis welded with O/A are weak? Yikes! They should get rid of it all together because it over 100 years old. A lot of oil refinery work requires either O/A or TiG because there won't be any cold start ups. The rest of the...

Is there something wrong with Oxy/acetylene??? You can weld anything with that. Except titanium. Learn O/A and everything is much MUCH easier.

MiG,TiG, and SMAW or stick welding are all forms of arc welding. Just sayin'.

Why the heck not!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBa8Cg0NCqg And a condensed version for those with attention problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1WpzrtQwI0 Congrats... The week is half over.

DO NOT BUY any welder from HF. If you do not know how to weld then you need to start with an O/A or what you have may work. Get back to basics. Don't worry about what other people may have or talk about. Go to a custom bike or hot rod shop in your area and look around. See what they use. Talk to...
