Do a 'froogle' search for 'dom tubing' Lots of hits and places to look. DOM (Drawn over mandrel) tubing is very popular in the race car world for both suspension parts and roll cage material and is very weldable.

As a hobbiest new to this game it seems to be a wash for me. Cutters are the least of my expense. ENCO sales, ebay, CDCO, etc for them. I destroy mill cutters faster than I wear them out. Clamping work is my biggest learning curve right now. Lots of money (for me) put into each of the machines. If y...

Lots of good ideas so far. Before I'd pay someone $900+ to move a piece of equipment I'd invest in a gantry crane or make one. Engine hoists, come-a-longs have their place too. I have done the anchor in the back of the garage trick and use a winch on the front of a 4x4 to pull disabled cars up the d...
