harbor freight has all the metal forming tools you'll need cheap

Northern Tool also kicks ass as well.

We have a HF grinder for over 4 years and someone lost the lockdown nut for it :2up: Never had a problem with it.

Actually, both places sell cheap Chinese, Japanese products..
But, Some stuff is good.. I go there for consumables like sand paper, drill bits and welding
wire.. I wouldn't buy a welder or anything high dollar from them..
You get what you pay for as far as quality goes.

For a Welder get a Miller, Lincoln,ESAB or a Thermal-Arc
For a Plasma go with Hypertherm, Thermal Dnamics, Miller,Lincoln, ESAB...
