What Did You Buy Today?

I too own my tanks, but the welding suppliers in my area swap the tanks. They handle all testing and it's worked well for several years now.

It is also a swap here.

Stocked up on some round material. I have plenty of 6061 but not in convenient diameters. Also I've never tried drill-rod before so that'll be a new addition.

Not what I bought, but what I would like to buy.. But alas no money...

She’s a beaut!!!

interesting, I keep hearing how many places won't fill your own tanks. Was this a big chain welding gas company?

I own my bottles and have never had a problem. You just swap them out for filled ones.

I bought 20 of these parting inserts for my Aloris parting tool (which looks to be having a tough life). These inserts were $8.64 each delivered.

I chose grade A6 carbide “for general purpose steel”, as I am parting mild, carbon steel.

Grade A2 carbide is more for aluminum, & Grade 767 carbide (which is tin-coated) would be for, say 4140 prehard, SS or Ti.

My auto shop teacher had one of those on a stand in the classroom.

I would look at the PM offering first, as it is a set tru style.

I just ordered one of those. Of course by the time you add in the set of collets, and an ER-40 to R8 adapter it gets rather expensive. PM sells that chuck on eBay with free shipping making it cheaper than buying it directly from PM.

yea, I don't understand that. I just bought some things from both Shars and All Industrial, and direct from them the prices were much higher then shipping made them more expensive, went to EBay and the prices were way lower and lower shipping.

for example AXA holder from Shars 12.50 for an XL on ebay, 25.50 on Shars website with another holder and set of new gauge blocks shipping was 15.50 on ebay discount machine; from Shars, shipping was 25.00... BTW the gauge blocks were discontinued on Shars, and the new ones were way more expensive...

Kool mist from All industrial, price increased on Ebay, they actually flopped the price, it used to be cheaper on Ebay than All industrial, so 50 on ebay, and 40 from All industrial, but the shipping from All industrial was enormous, and ebay was cheap, making it a no brainer to do ebay.
