Bargain at Lowe's

**cope** · 10-22-2005, 01:05 PM

I had to swap out a defective pump for my wife's fountain at Lowe's, and I always looks at the bargain table. I found 5-6 packs of DeWalt 4-1/2x1/4" grinding wheels for $3.00/pack.

My wife is dragging my there in a few minutes to get a new patio door drape, I will see if can get a deal like that, with my luck they will charge me double.

Lowes also has an autodarkening helmet (one of those with the narrow strip lens about an inch high) on clearance for around $50.

Speaking of bargains, i just had a friendly conversation with the owner of the local hardware store. Problem: $1.99 for a 1/2" EMT connector (set screw). They're .16 each at the supply house!

yea i was hoping it would work a little better but its good for small cutting and it works great for brazing

the only thing i dont like it that it eats up those oxygen tanks really fast
in cutting it will last 8-12 minutes

they say once you start the puddle in the cut that you can turn off the fuel as the oxygen is the only thing needed to cut.

i need to upgrade to an O/A setup...
