Anything welding

“Dickhead”

at least that’s what everyone calls me.
Lol

 

I just cut a couple this evening myself, will have them installed on the trailer tomorrow. Got the railing on one side tacked up today, should be able to get the other side done tomorrow and everything welded, hopefully leaving just enough time to get it painted before my drive to NH on Wed.

 

Looking to pick something up to start cutting steel/metal. I was looking at grabbing the evolution rage 4 chop saw. You guys have any input or other reccomendations? Thanks

Making tailgate latches.

 

Chop saws are ok The only one in my Possession I gave away the same day I won it.

I would rather use a grinder with a cutting disc then a chop saw.

I love my Band saw what can I say.

Personal Choice for me.

 

Same^

 

The evo’s are more a cold cut saw and don’t use an abrasive disc. I don’t know if they’re all like that, the evo’s I’ve looked at are extremely nice. Clean cuts, minimal sparks and the metal is cool after cutting.

 

I like them, except for the noise. The band saw is perfect.

 

I agree, I wish I had the room for one.

 

I should be clear. A portable band saw.

I have no need for a base mounted band saw.

 

I have an evolution 380 saw and love it. I’ve had it for at least two years now and still on the blade that came with it (though it’s time to be replaced). I sold my abrasive saw shortly after getting the evo and have no regrets. It’s worth the money.

 

I have a Fein Slugger cold saw and it's awesome. Cuts clean and fast.

 

I use a $90 ryobi 10” chop saw. I’ll throw abrasive disks on it for cutting steel. I’ve cut up to 1/4” bar, dom tubing, and other small(ish) metal stock on it. It’s lasted me around 10 years so far. It looks like it’s been through a war zone but it works well still.

 

What’s a good mig welder to buy that’s not going to break the bank? I don’t really want to spend more than 300 if I can get away with it.

 

$0.30 or $30.00 I doubt you will find much .

What is your planned use ??

 

I looked at Cold Cut Saws I am not sure why but I think it was being to limited on what can be cut .

It has been a few years and besides I had the band Saws already

 

haha I fixed it 300. Just going to build a space frame for a wedge camper. Steel that is 1/16” thick.

 

On the topic of band saws. What cutting fluid do people use? I’ve used rustlick cutting oil you mix with water but it’s $50 per gallon
