I have the 4" version of this Capri (available in 6" or 7" - forged steel, made in Taiwan. Haven't used it a lot yet, but so far I'm impressed... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015NI27ZY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Steve

There was another Earl Schieb wanna be in Portland in the '60's - they had one ad where they actually said "you'll probably get a nicer job if you WASH your car before bringing it in :rolleyes: Fortunately for me, I already had several knowledgeable friends, including a body/fender man (I went...

Got a small portable generator? This only uses 40 watts, there are bigger sizes but should STILL work with a real small genny - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0882PN4G3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 ... Steve

Couple of possibilities on this page https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/jic-37-flare.html Steve

Welcome to TBN; I would first try this - first put a fairly heavy implement on the 3ph (if you have one), then let the tractor cool (preferably overnight) - then start it up and IMMEDIATELY raise the hitch and (without touching the controls) shut it off - if the hitch drops in less than an hour...

This is mainly for HJCtractor - Sorry I missed your question on the mag drill table - the following link should answer your question (earlier in this thread) https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/welding-table-build.386590/page-6?highlight=mag+drill+table If not, let me know... Steve

MTG nailed it - 10" x 32" 2 HP HD Mill/Drill with Stand and Power my millFeed at Grizzly.com BTW, that unit has gone up a bit since I bought it, I paid right at $3k :rolleyes: I didn't have any thick plate, so used multiple pieces of 1/2 x 3 FB, beveled edges, then (mostly) welded "proud"...

Good choice on the reversible vise; I have the Wilton it was copied from, it ended up under my MDVT (MagDrillViseTable) - on the back side is a Grizzly XY table with a couple HF DP vises - gives me a lot of options and lightning fast holes of nearly any size. Last 2 pics show adding 1/2" flat...

I agree - I keep .035 Lincoln L56 in both my MM252 and the MM211 - I've done everything from welding field fencing (14 ga.) to a pair of 10' gates made with 1" EMT (.058" wall) up to a bending jig for making U brackets from 1/2 x 3" for a QA system for my 580B (jig was made with 3/4" x 3 FB)...

BTW, I just ordered 4 of the above (no such thing as too many clamps) :cool: Anyone who wants more than ONE at the low price, do NOT choose the "pack" - typical Amazon trick, different sellers, etc - instead, stay with the $26 and just change the QUANTITY... Steve Example - if you choose the 4...

I tried a couple of HF's previous F clamps, wasn't impressed - I've NOT tried the Bergers, but I've been dealing with HF since they only had mail order stores, and I've come to the conclusion that whatever they CLAIM should usually be divided by 2 and you should be OK - I know I'm a bit pushy...

I noticed that the REAL Bessey version has their name stamped into the side and has a red sleeve on the release - the Temu version shows several pics, NONE of which show the Bessey name. Another "oriental dis-orientation" I'm thinking... Steve

I don't have the model you're looking at, instead I have about 30 of the 1200 lb rated (F style) Stronghand 4 in 1 - about half in 12" and half in the 8" length - I was an Enco customer when MSC bought them out, so I got in on MUCH better pricing (around $25 each) - I LOVE their 4 in 1 package...

Everlast isn't the only one that makes you pay extra for what shoulda been included - when I bought my Miller MM211 I tried to get them to just charge me the difference and give me the 15' mig gun (instead of the 10' it comes with) - no go. So I bought a 15' gun, and the 10 footer will probably...

Good call on your THD concern - from the manual (section 6.8) http://pdfmanuals.esab.com/private/Library/InstructionManuals/BrandsVictor/0463%20905%20001.pdf "Do not connect the voltage sensitive items such as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, etc without a power line conditioner (not included)."...
