[VAC] Re: I Found Bolts!



Gerald,
 My original cutoff tool was a Sears "Muffler and exhaust" cutoff
machine. It is as you say, using 3" X 3/8" (hole size) wheels and having
a plastic guard. The guard is very nice because it gives you something
to hold onto while doing some delicate cutting, in addition to
protecting you from a broken wheel. Or all the crap that the thing
throws as it's cutting.

I've bought a couple of other air cutoff tools from places like Harbor
Freight for $25.00 or thereabouts. They work fine, believe it or not.

The worst point for many would be the requirement for plenty of air, at
least a 3HP compressor, with a fairly large tank.

                                             <<Jim>>
