Let's say, hypothetically, that the missus has been charmed into liberating a few shillings to buy herself a decent welder. She has decided on a Millermatic 210 and will run Co/Ar mix.
She already has a Bridgeport and the various trinkets needed to make it useful. She also has a 14" abrasive cut-off saw, compressed air and 100A single phase 220v and an oxy-acy setup. Period.
She has everyday access to a 6X48 vertical belt sander, vertical and horizontal bandsaws, 6X12 surface grinder and wire edm.
She will be fabricating and installing various attachments for our tractor ranging from welding on bucket hooks to a toothbar to QA pallet forks, perhaps a grapple for the bucket, maybe a thumb for the backhoe, a cab would be nice, and other items over the next fifty years or so.
Without duplicating anything she owns or has access to, what additional items might a simple country girl need?
What would be the order of importance or priority?
She's not going into the business so would name brand quality make a hugh difference?
I know there are a lot of questions above and I sincerely thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to help.
But don't take too long, my birthdays right around the corner. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thanks, Martin
