1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Got a couple banners hung up, need a Haltech one next I think, ruffstuff would be cool too, half my shit has ruffstuff parts holding it together haha.

 

New millennial shitbox

 

2g supra?

 

Looks damn good!

I've yet to buy any peg boards for my walls though

 

They're overrated, mine are up because taking them down is a waste of time. But I just hang the grinders there.

 

I'll see what I'm working with tomorrow once the wife cleans more stuff out of the garage.

 

Windshield got replaced, but I kept the wiper arms off so I can hit them with a wire wheel and repaint them.

Oil needs changing too.

Bought an 11lb spool of wire seeing as how the 2lber I have will run out quick.



Ordered those flap discs that are found on Amazon; they seem to be hit or miss cause some people love them, and few hate them.

 

They're pricy but I get way more life out of the Diablo flappers than I do the cheapo HF ones. We used Carborundum brand ones at the machine shop and they were great but hard to find if you aren't buying in bulk.

 

Have yet to try them, didn't know Diablo offered any.

Will say I love their circular saw blades. Have one on my circular saw and I've cut a ton of shit for my neighbor already. Slices wood like it's butter.

At work we use some expensive ones...it's orange and blue? Forget the brand.

Stuff at school is definitely HF.

The discs I'm talking about are these cheap ones ( bought a 10 pack) -



We'll see how they last for home-use.

 

Damn, 3 Diablo's costs the same as that 10 pack

Be curious to snag one at Home Depot and try it out.

 

No one:

People with stock Jeep Wranglers:



@Wulf

 

That would be cool, it's a bit smaller

 

Ah AW11, supercharged?

 

No, just plain ol' N/A.

 

Is anybody up for swimming in this river? Damn the people are out now.

 

Benchmark is good stuff. I ordered a 10 pack probably 4 years ago, still have some left.

 

Dewalt flappers are trash. Fastenal brand is OK, radnor is OK but expensive. The machinist at my last job bought these super expensive double sided discs made by Pferd. He thought they were the greatest thing, I thought they were trash.

 

Well shit that's good to hear.

I figured I'd take a wheel or two and kill them at school.

If I'm really liking them, I'll order another 10 pack so I've got some on hand whenever I need them.

 

Good! Someone that agrees with me about Dewalt!

Weird thing is, this guy brought one in and it had a threaded nut so the whole thing threads on an angle grinder like a wire wheel. I figured it was just an overly expensive flap disc and sure enough, it wore down fast.

 

Theres no flap disc that lasts forever, but the BM ones are priced right for how long they last imo. Paying $6 per disc and getting an hour or two of grinding out of it stings compared to if you only paid $2 a disc.

One thing I always did was to use a wire cup to knock off slag/splatter rather than a flap disc to conserve them. At that point I really only used them for de-burring the cuts.
