Son and I are learning to weld. We’re using a grinder now but have some projects planned. A cold saw looks like the answer. I have a sliding miter saw but my understanding is they spin too fast. Don’t want to break the bank, but is an Evolution the answer?

The double miter is familiar but I can’t see dropping that kind of cash when we still can’t stack dimes

If it helps, the first project will be sides for a trailer made from angle iron and extruded steel.

New to metalworking and looking for a cut off saw. Doesn't seem like HF has a "cold" saw. Only abrasion cut off saws.

I'd like the cold saw type that takes the carbide blades. Anyone have a suggestion on where to find a decent one without breaking the bank?

Have a 2020 Max stealth and had the rear evaporator coil replaced around Christmas. Lately it has been cutting in and out. Blows cold when it’s on. It seems like there’s a loose connection as it most often happens if I hit a bump.

Anyone have experience with this and thoughts on the first place to check?

I thought there was a super coupon for the magnetic hooks. I know it will be included in the upcoming USG sale, but the coupon was a deeper discount. Did it expire, or was I mistaken?

Is there a specific named process for finding an unknown parent, like when someone is adopted? I’d like to know what I need to research.

TL;DR: looks like the person my mom thought was her father, wasn’t.

She wasn’t raised by her parents. Kept in touch with them until they passed. We did the DNA tests a couple years ago to start working on genealogy. Mom came back half Jewish, of which we have no tradition. Makes sense; everyone was boinking after WWII. So I can narrow it down to any relatives with Jewish ancestry but none are particularly close. I’m sure there’s a systematic approach to figure it out.

Would like to keep building out my tree

I have a couple floor jacks. They work great in the garage but don’t roll well over the exposed aggregate driveway.

I’m not really interested in a buying a badlands.

Anyone successfully modify a more standard floor jack with something like the Badlands wheels?

Thinking of getting these to go with my 6 ton ratcheting style. Seems like they would offer some versatility when working on things like the boat trailer, etc. and be easier to move.

Anyone have experience with them?
