Agreed. I learned how to TIG on a Miller Syncrowave 250dx. That thing is awesome. I've come close to buying some cheap DC only TIG welder at Harbor Freight for $220, but I think I'm just going to wait until I can afford the real thing.

Miller is where it is at for welding, if you can afford it, funny thing is for plasma cutters I was told to get a Thermal Dynamics machine...
This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.Comment

Organic,
Can you teach me how to use it, I took spanish instead of Shop class. It was one or the other. I need a couple rust spots cleaned up on the ol e30 and your just down the street.

very cool setup! Seems a bit more complicated than other alt setups I've seen but I'm sure it's more reliable.
I never learned how to do a scratch start. What's the trick?

Check Northern Tool, they frequently have 5hp 3450rpm compressor duty motors for reasonable prices.Originally posted by Justin B View PostThe car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Yeah, I've thought about that too but they're obviously more expensive. I actually finally found some motors that will work OK, now it's just whether or not I can find the money to get one.
edit - that was a response to napabavarian. Ill check northern tool and compare.
edit 2 - not bad, same ~$160 ones can be had on ebay too.Last edited by Justin B; 12-23-2008, 03:38 PM.Comment

I was thinking used, possibly more available than big electric
Look in your own back yard for electric, I forgot about this...
