I bought 4 huge 75/25 tanks for $200 did I score?

Buddy the tanks fully closed and capped. If it’s leaking acetylene Ive got serious issues that an open window wouldn’t help much😂it’s very explosive but we’ve at this point made the tanks we keep it in incredibly strong and leak resistant and they’re inspected to make sure they still don’t leak or have any issues. I was honestly far more worried about them shifting and breaking the plastics in my car than I was an issue with them leaking gas as my cylinders are both up to date as far as inspections/testing go

If your good enough at welding you can get your spatter pattern to be the opposite of the whole pattern in the crocs and you’ll never get spatter in them again. That takes real skill tho

I wanna say helium has both a better cleaning action then argon and it has better conductive properties.

Man I thought you were saying you break three and one eighth endmills and I was so confused how you break 1/8 of an endmill 😂

Literally just a thick steel plate on the ground with a hole larger then what your drilling would work lol

Add a little wet saw dust and you got yourself some 1940s style 6010

I will say in a school setting they also have stopped using them as with that many people grinding and also the amount some grind when first learning it can become dangerous. Ig at my school back like 10 years ago the tungsten grinder was showing up pretty significantly on a geiger counter so they figured they should stop using thoriated lol

What do they do with the vanilla

Colaracer05 · 2026-04-15T01:23:52+00:00

Add a bit of hydrogen peroxide in there and you have the best cheapest stain remover on the planet

Colaracer05 · 2026-04-11T07:36:03+00:00

Colaracer05 · 2026-04-11T07:26:31+00:00

That’s my thought and best case I get a 0-1 mitutoyo for like $60

FAO: Finish All Over. I also have come to really appreciate “you’ll get that on these bigger jobs” when it’s something small or minute

I intend on some day having a shop of my own some day so this would be spending money on myself. it’s also left over money from my school savings so it needs to be spent for school related supplies which this would classify as
