    Miller Diversion 165 and Miller wire feeder unit as a Lot.

    I completely agree, but this Diversions are on the extreme end of simplicity lol. You can adjust peak amperage, and either AC or DC output. That's it.

    Miller Diversion 165 and Miller wire feeder unit as a Lot.

    Miller diversion 165 is 220V only, and has very little for adjustment. Great machine for learning if you can find one for cheap, otherwise I'd skip it. The OEM torch is also hard-wired in, so if you decide you want to upgrade the torch it can be a bit of a pain. The diversion 180 runs on both...

    Any wet shavers using straight or safety razors on the forum?

    I haven't shaved my beard in 5 years and have just kept it tidy with an electric trimmer. I'll be best man at a wedding in a few weeks and I think I want to be beardless so I shaved today to give my face a few weeks of sunshine and hopefully I don't look to ghoulish in the wedding photos LOL...

    Product Made in USA Nicholson Files

    I just picked up a handful of nicholson files from Quest Industrial in Calgary (Whom I love, the staff there are so helpful and friendly). They were 12-15$ a piece, and I'm not expecting too much out of them as I've read all new nicholson files are now the poor quality, economic option since...

    Xyphota's bicycle related projects

    First covid then I threw my back out so yet another weekend lost to the void :mad:. Feeling much better today though so I decided to shirk all my responsibilities and play in the shop. Spent a few hours on the seat stays today. In my previous post I said I was going to shorten my seat stays to...

    Myford Super 7 Lathe Power Crossfeed, Cabinet, Gearbox & Tooling $2,550 Lucasville NS.

    If you look at the seller's profile, it says they have been on kijiji for less than a day at the time of posting, so their account is brand new. Definitely a scam.

    Existing Feature Can we add prefix categories to the member spotted deals sub-forum to sort by province, and include that prefix in the notification emails?

    Like a few members I'm sure, I am 'watching' the member spotted deals sub-forum so that I can get email notifications about all potential deals immediately and you guys can continue to facilitate the ever-emptying of my wallet. However, as most deals happen to be in a province I do not live in...
