    Tool Oxy propane torch

    Plenty of examples of oxy-fuel explosions, most don't mention the cause...not hard to search for...

    Tool Oxy propane torch

    There are plenty of instances of oxy-fuel explosions happening....let me guess though, flashback arrestors are a waste too because you've never had a flashblack? and you run your acetylene at over 15psi because you've never had it decompose? and you draw wayyyy too many btu from a small tank...

    Tell that to your insurance company if something happens. Hose is cheap, just use the right one.

    No, don't use the same hoses...the leak that blows up your garage won't be fun lol

    Machine Arcdroid

    I'd rather a gantry too, but haven't the space...I could fit an arcdroid no problem.

    Machine Arcdroid

    This, I've looked a couple times, they are way too pricey for what they are. The guy who made them is also in Ontario somewhere from what I heard, but they still drop ship out of China or something. If they were ~$2000 I'd consider it but not when they cost more than a hypertherm powermax 45 lol

    LoL in the grand scheme of things 500lbs like mine is light for a lathe...some weigh 10's of thousands of pounds.

    Thanks! I mean you could scale this idea up a bit, but probably not when you get into the big multi-ton lathes.

    Craftex cx701 lathe - $3500 - Calgary, ab

    I paid $3000 for mine with a DRO and QCTP already installed, along with a few odds and ends of tooling. So just be mindful that $3500 isn't all that good price wise.

    Tool Knipex Cobra Pliers

    When I stopped in a few weeks ago at your place, I was just coming from the annual service on my Porsche, $1450 for the third year one...year before was $800ish, year before that was $450ish. Luckily had pre-paid maintenance given to me by the selling dealer for first three years, but next...
