Re: can this HF miter saw be used to cold cust exhaust and manifold pipe?

I use one of these saws for cutting aluminum and it works brilliantly, even with a wood working blade, I would never contemplate using it on steel, though.

Re: how to reduce/eliminate oxidation when AC welding?

Why not fold the tanks in 2 U shape pieces instead of multiple bits? It's alot quicker to produce and alot less welding than the way you are making them now

Re: Best Argon Gas Refill Price in DALLAS area?

I pay $173 NZD for a G size argon (Not sure what that is in american speak), rental is $0.20 a day.

G size is our biggest bottle so I'm guessing it's 330cf

Re: Handy little wayto sharpen short tungsten

This is exactly how I do it, chuck it in the dewalt cordless drill and spin it against the belt sander, sharpens it to a point and concentric.. saves getting your fingers close to the belt.

Re: Intercooler Core For a Radiator?

It's not the fins that are the problem, it's the tubes. Ideally you want small tubes and more fin so you have more fin to tube contact.

wide tubes results in less fin / tube if that makes sense.
