Thanks all for the replies. I have forgotten the rate of my compressor but it's a twin v so proably c14cfm, will report back.
Regarding building a cabinet- yes I agree but I am playing the time v money balance game and picking my battles, £150 isn't bad vs losing a day I would rather be working...

Thanks for the reply, i have shown pics of areas treated with fe 123. Poor coverage on the pic in primer as it was upside down and next to be painted before I realised I had a problem.
I intended to paint straight out of the blasters but it came with engrained rust so I treated first and then...
Can you help, I decided to use a combination of rust buster FE 123 and custom 421 primer off you to treat a body shell post media blasting. Upon return from the blasters (dry conditions and same day) I had more engrained rust than I expected (everywhere) that I did not want to encapsulate in...
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. I already have a face mask similar to the one chunkolin showed, trouble is I strugle if there is light behind it when outdoors ( to a lesser extent indoors) as the light reflects and all I can see is my mush not the workpiece! I was wondering if there was some...
Can anyone recomend a grinding face mask? Brough a cheapy clarke / machine mart, all ok other than when you have light behind as it reflects and you can't see - so not great outside! Anyone else have the same trouble / ways around it?

Hi
Thanks for all your help and responses.
I contacted the Maxtar guys regarding warranty ( 1st reply above), I asked for clarification on who would fix etc and had this reply:
In fact, during the 6 months warranty period we'll offer customer parts for free. After the warranty period...
I have allways wanted one too... first experience was taking the cyclinder head off ... you had to stand on it! did no miles to the gallon and ran out of fuel when we took it for a test drive ( was used by a recovery firm as it had a crane fitted). also if you go on road be carefull of driveline...
PS if some one has some other suggesstions of suppliers other than m/c mart or the dreaded fleabay for comparison I am all ears!

Have told my mate and hes happy to take it back.
Right then any recommendations on a nice robust and reliable welder? I want it mainly for car body work and some light (3-5max) mm fabrication. I'd say I have a budget of about £250.
I have been looking...
guys,
xmas and a broken arm have slowed me down somewhat but i have finally got round to having a look at getting my welder working again!!!
I have changed the tip, liner and put a huuuge earth clamp on, the swan neck liner is there and I am still having problems.
I still can't strike a...
Hi guys! Thanks for the response. Had a look and yes the tensioner is wound in all the way. I think I'll take it all apart this weekend check how easy the wire is to feed etc and let you know how I get on.
Thanks again

Have just found this forum and think its brilliant! I've had a quick search and couldn't find the answer to my question so hope you can help.
I have just bought a Migmate 130 turbo and decent sized co2 bottle off a friend for £50. Not a bad price I thought although he mentioned something...
