    My great grandparents emigrated from Sweden and cleared land just north of Strasbourg Sask. So a little south east of where I think you are Susquatch. it’s still in the family, although I haven’t seen it in years. From what I recall, and old photos showing the area long before I was born, theres...

    If you are thinking of upgrading ..... a DSG type 13

    I’ve wondered how effective the long way protectors the generation of DS&G Mcgyver has (and other English lathes of that generation) compared with no ‘wings’ like this one. The other thing I’m wondering is whether the newer DS&G has a narrower bed. From these pictures (and memory of the Mint’s...

    If you are thinking of upgrading ..... a DSG type 13

    FWIW, the Mint in my town sold a similar DS&G from late 1970’s roughly ten years ago. I didn’t buy it as was ridden hard and put away with coolant… From memory I think it sold higher than asking price of the one you show. And was 600v. The one you show is sure nice to see.

    Peavey Mart Closing

    Wpg had 80 cu ft argon and argon/C02 bottles as owner exchange until Peavey stopped offering this. Now the remaining businesses, including the one that supplied Peavey will only do 40’s and in one case 55’s. Hope that doesn’t happen with Peavey closures elsewhere. Annoying to those who don’t use...

    0.035 Outershield/dualshield worth it?

    Yup, dual shield not flux core. Yup, 0.035 dualshield not as common as 0.045 and bigger, but available. Manual for my machine says it is a supported process, just a Lincoln 215mpi. Not doing any commercial work, just trying to get better.

    0.035 Outershield/dualshield worth it?

    Thank you. I’m running on garage 50amps, not in an industrial setting. I can and have run 7018 and could continue, just trying to be faster, maybe better? If I understand correctly at 25 volts 350 feed (what my chart says for 0.035 dualshield, and coincidentally this is maxxing out my welder)...
