Another welder

I think by scrap pile he means his steel pile at home for building stuff

Bill G, knows this. He's just trying to stir up some shiet.

No it was a question. I am amazed at what folks scrap. This truck along with another were sold a month ago destined for the steel mill.

Once again the old adage .One mans poison is another mans meat.The conversation over a piece of plate steel is not like a gold ingot .As far as "scrap " steel I have it by tonnage and I never paid for a pound of it .Some might be repurposed and some could lay in a pile the next 200 years until it rusts way to nothing .My shop.60 by 70 is with the exception of the roofing matterial is all recyled so called scrap .

I did buy new steel once. Crazy expensive. I need about 40 to 50 feet of square tubing to modify my trailer with higher railings. There's got to be some around, just waiting on someone that needs some cash, or an estate sale, etc.

It's actually funny that Bill G thinks I go to garage sales, buy metal and then take it to a scrap yard for recycling. Again, he's just trying to bait someone into a pissy fight over word definition or use.

If you were here tomorrow morning you would see what goes to the mill. It will be a real eye opener for some.

How would this battleship anchor fare in the US?
252kg of transformer power, continuous 400Amp, 60% 500Amp, 40% 600Amp.



No idea whether it still works as I need to figure out electricity supply, but it is mine.
I was told it is functional though.

I guess I can always utilize it as a doorstop considering that I own no Stihl products!

It is so strange that Ebay doesn’t extend bidding time after each bid like most auction sites do. OTOH, I have scored some fantastic deals as a sniper with screeching fast fiber optic.

Wow. Mine is overkill by 2 or 3. That one by several factors more. I bumped up my garage breakers before I realized it was not necessary. Be bold and crank it up and see what you really need.

I found some sticks that go with that welder.
That is a male/mans hand holding them.

WhoooWaaaa. You mentioned tanks. I do wonder if this welder wasn't use to weld 1" or more thick plating on the underside of military vehicles. That or building skyscrapers in large metropolitan cities.

I joked to someone that I'll do tank conversions, weld two T-34's into one T-68.
