Re: Assorted car stuff

In my case it was leaking fuel lines. Fixed or replaced the fuel lines and it was back up to 10 mpg.

Re: Power Z axis

I made the mistake of photographing it as it roared by. I should have used the tripod and remote trigger because I missed seeing all the motion which is considerable. The ground quakes as it passes by. I think it was doing 60 mph or more.

Re: My Expensive New Welding Magnets

I have a solar powered autodark helmet. It is about 12 years old and works perfectly. Never a problem. It is a ProStar, model FEB HPDI-4X5. Got it at one of the local welding stores.

Re: Drilling holes in rocks - Help

I have had a Hilti for about 12 years. Cost a fortune but it is as good as when I bought it. If you can justify the cost then get one.

Re: How To Remove Threaded End Of Broken Pipe?

I have internal pipe wrenches for that sort of problem and they generally work. Do not get cheap ones because they break.
