What Did You Buy Today?

Right after I posted this, I realized that I forgot the hose cover, so I bought the one below a few minutes later…from the same vendor…drop shipped from the same manufacturer.

So now I have made 2 separate orders from the same vendor and almost certainly spent more on shipping than I needed to. Live and learn. I am going to email Weldmonger and ask if he can make a shipping adjustment.

I definitely learned not to buy a zippered TIG hose cover. With the last one that I had, the zipper failed and I had to violently tear it apart to get it off.

EDIT: I just sent Weldmonger an email with the order numbers, politely asking for a shipping adjustment. Do you guys think that I will get an adjustment? I will let you know in this thread.

I bought this from Jody Collier of Welding Tips and Tricks YouTube & podcast fame. Another vendor had it for free shipping, but I gave Jody my business because he has probably taught me more about welding than everybody else put together.

Jody was a welding instructor for the company that I work for... I didn't know him, but would pass him in the hallway on my way out every morning.

When I started following weldingtipsandtricks.com and watching the videos, I recognized him... he had retired by then.

At one time I had volunteered to go through the welding school at work... I was passed over because my foreman felt that I was too valuable as a machinist. I was told that anyone taking the welding class would be locked into a minimum of 2 years welding full time.

Was it Delta Airlines?
 
AB Tools 1.25” 2 flute Shear Hog in a YG1 tool holder. This is an impressive improvement over the single flute 1” I already had. Incredibly rigid tool thanks to the 1” shank, even at almost 5” of stuck out.

Carvesmart jaws for a Kurt vise. I have the same jaw interface on the Orange vises and really like it.

I have that same model Powermatic drill press. I don't have the power down feed. It's a great machine! I put a VFD on it so I could power from single phase. The Reeves drive is great! I don't use the VFD to change speed.
