Ya man, a determined guy with a 4 1/2” grinder, a slitting disc and a hard rock can be pretty productive. Have any pictures of said drag truck you care to share?

[ryanjones2150]

Is there any reason you can’t use mechanical means to do your hackin and whacking?

I’ve done plenty of that, a lot of that on drag cars.

[ryanjones2150]

I know how to fix it. Smash it with a hammer and then....smash it again.

...but your way is probably more prudent.

[ryanjones2150]

Did you at least smash the old with a BFH just to get a little retribution?

[ryanjones2150]

I don’t think line of work pays well.

[ryanjones2150]

I knew I didn’t like my neighbor for one reason or another.

Ya, Beaumont. I have no idea about the longevity of the gas valves. The 251d is a robust, industrial machine. It does not have a puny HF arc.

[ryanjones2150]

I’m still waiting on my two 1.0 versions saws. So if they have not shipped yet, upgrade my order to the 2.0 version.

[ryanjones2150]

Good deal. Glad you’re on the way to a solution.

[ryanjones2150]

Those check valves are chattering.

[ryanjones2150]

I’m about 4 hours west of there.

[ryanjones2150]

Very nice!

[ryanjones2150]

If you were close, I’d let you come grab this one and try it out before you bought one. But I’m on the gulf coast.

[ryanjones2150]

Buhduh bump.

[ryanjones2150]

What part of the world are you in?

[ryanjones2150]

I bought one several years ago, I think I paid a little less than that. It came with just a foot pedal.

I’m not familiar with your setup specifically, but if you need a remote contractor, and that 251 doesn’t have it, it’ll set you back a couple hundred bucks if memory serves me correctly....

[ryanjones2150]

There are castors available that are both swivel and fixed, you just lock them into the fixed position you want and go to town. I guess it all depends on how much you plan to move your table around to know if it’s worth the cost.

[ryanjones2150]

I agree on all accounts.

[ryanjones2150]

You’re right, Wayne, I changed all my air cooled engines to the VR1 after that lengthy discussion we had a few years ago on this topic. Turned out my local parts house I patronize stocks the VR1, so that’s really the only reason I chose that one.

The only air cooled engine I don’t...

[ryanjones2150]

VR1 30wt racing oil for me.
