Post Sun Jun 24, 2012 3:54 pm

That's some serious metal work right there.

I noticed no guard on the grinder.

I took a sizeable lump out of my nose picking finger last year using a grinder without a gaurd.

I would love a big unit to work in and play with scrap.

I hope you have plenty of gas and wire
