Re: Too quiet >>> CHANGE THE SUBJECT

Lok like nothing in quebecc ity or montreal Snif Jack 47 71 6 volt lantern batteries have longer carbon rods. Some welding supply places will sell gouging rods by the piece, instead of by a whole box.

Re: Too quiet
Hi Bill, Yes, I do own a 7x16 Minilathe, but if we move again I may have to downsize. That will cause me to have to decide what I keep and may limit project size. Dick

Re: Too quiet
Actually, I am more focused on my little Unimats, changing the motors to 24v DC and assembling a 24v DC power supply and motor control. Now, the little Unimats are reversible and variable speed.

Re: Too quiet >>> CHANGE THE SUBJECT
