Got an early Christmas present for myself, 20% off for black Friday. Came in yesterday, but have been too busy to try it out, hopefully this weekend.

On 110 volts its about 5/8", on 220 just under an inch. Doesn't cut as clean when near the max according to tnd reviews I read, but does great at a little thinner than max. I'll find out for sure in a couple of days.

I think tne non HF has to dk with it striking the arc. I
This machine is supposed to trike without touching bare metal, for example rusty or painted metal.

Their website has a lot of info, and some videos. Reviews I read said it was a great machine for the money if you aren't using it in a commercial (high use) setting, great for the hobbiest, or a shop with light usage.

Eastwood had a sale the other day, I got the Yost vice, and a good pick set...55.00 shipped. Got a Dewalt set of tools for the Blazer. Nothing fancy, just a good basic set 44.00 from Amazon

My girlfriend got me these for my birthday. A snapon long handle locking flex head 1/2 drive ratchet. Also a little spark plug ramp gauge. Super happy. Of course we ask each other what we would like most of the time so. Nice units.

Got a 10 free flap disc sample pack (just paid $10 shipping) from Benchmark Abrasives yesterday, haven’t tried them yet, but their prices seem good. Arrive quick.

That's the deal I got, than got hooked...lol. They are far better than what you get from HF, or anywhere like that.

Did get a couple of new tools today. My old body saw took a major poo...poo. I've heard good things about the Chief line. It was on sale, and I needed one...and a new oil pump priming tool

Do you ever wonder if somebody is making a list of all the new tools we bought and where we live. LOL
Lol. Kansas is a big place. I think you’re safe!

I rarely buy tools. Did get a new paint gun last year.
I’ve been bolstering my collection for 35 years lol.
But yesterday pissed me off. Dropped what I was doing and took off to the Homie Deport.
Broke my last 1/4 drive swivel last year puttin new exh manifold gaskets in the brodozer. My 1/4 hex drive nut drivers were all but extinct, last #2 Phillips bit was stripped out and I was down to 1 chitty Stanley 3/8 ratchet that turns like 15 deg per click (without diving into the “vehicle” tool kits, lol. Needed all 4 of those working on the mower.
$55 later I was re stocked on the “necessities.”
