You know there's a $200 rebate right now, right?

Need more info on this!

I saw it on cyberweld.com

Factory $200 rebate if you buy just the machine, $400 rebate if you buy the machine + at least $400 of Miller accessories.

The welder they have on the website isn't the same as mine?

But either way...Goddammit. I did look at a few other places but they were all close to the same price without free shipping. I never came across this one

Yeah I think they use a generic picture. A few other Millers on their site have that same picture. It's a factory rebate though so maybe you can call Miller and see what they can do?

Picked up a slightly used JD2 Notchmaster yesterday. It's going to get put to use as soon as I mount it to my work table.

I've got a notcher are here somewhere. But you need to extra long hole saw blades to really make it work. I got so frustrated with the damn thing I just used the plasma or a grinder to notch tubing. Plasma works great. Get on one of those coping calculator websites and tell it what you are notching and at what angle. Print out the sheet... cut it out and tape it onto the tube. mark it and cut it. Save the template and you can reuse it.

I have the templates to notch 1.75 tube. Right now I don't have a plasma cutter to use. I need some of the deeper hole saws to use as I bottomed out on 2 of the 4 notches I made last night. The notcher worked very well other than that.

Good luck finding deep hole saws. Trick tools used to sell them but they stopped. If you source some let me know. Now go buy a plasma cutter

What were the miter saws you all were raving about?

Makita dual slide... Thing is amazeballs. Mine is a 10" which works great.

I had bought a 12" Rigid and it was junk. Thing had a runout of about 1/8" over the course of the slide. No amount of adjustment would make it right. I don't really need a 12" so I went with the 10". Haven't had any issues yet.

Best part of trade school is that the supplies list is nothing but tools!

Fluke is some good stuff. I have had a basic multimeter from them for a few years now. A couple of my other network tools are Fluke and never had a complaint.

 

[Silverback]

Fluke is awesome. Name is kinda backwards as to its quality.

 

[balakay]

Yeah my dads been using the same Fluke meter for 15 years. So it was an easy choice for me.

x1000 to this. Makes me shake my head and grin everytime I use my stepdad's fluke

DeWalt just came out with a 20V 7-1/4" one. Does something like 200+ cuts per battery which is pretty sweet.

Picked up a hydraulic crimper. Best China has to offer.
Thanks Amazon

Picked up a slightly used Miller Plasma 375 for cheap at a pawn shop this afternoon. Found an ad on craigslist that was a month old but they still had it!
