Someone will be along soon to explain the first bit.
As for the second I don’t doubt it works and quite well, but the battery bit is very clunky and awkward compared to the Milwaukee ones with the pencil type batteries.
My comment was only because of the swipe at Milwaukee on one tool I think...
Sorry JP, I am probably the biggest Makita fan boi going. But you can’t try and throw shade at Milwaukee when comparing electric ratchets.
Have you seen how f**king numb that Makita one is in comparison? I have pretty much everything they offer but won’t touch the ratchet as it’s such a bad design.
I wasn’t having a dig at you btw. When I saw the group bit my first thought was that’s a great shout as it gives people a full day to be out and also some tinkering time in-between slots.
That said, I’ve only ever done one track day at CSF so my experience is well and truly limited so when you...
I did think this when @Flob mentioned it not being great.
Just think how many cars will be panic repaired in the 40 minute off periods 😅
I think it’ll actually work well, it’ll give people a bit of time to socialise in between track outings and also keep it open all day for people.
I have 16amp in the garage on dedicated breakers for the welder but most of the smaller machines will run off 13 amp. Especially at the amperage you’ll be welding at.
Edit, you might want to swap the breaker out for a slow trip one on the circuit you use it on, I think it’s type c from memory...
That looks like a cracking little starter machine, covers all bases so you can get into it then decide it’s not quite stable enough and buy something that costs a small fortune 😅
I’d say see if you could get a gassed machine. It’ll serve you so much better than the flux coated wire. @dann2707 has quite a bit of R-Tech stuff and swears by it.
Did you get the boxes direct? Also any chance of the Stl for the badge? I bought a Halfords box the other week that wasn’t advanced and it’s going to upset me 😅
So angry and hateful x
Thanks Nik, just always wondered why there’s such secrecy about it until later on when I’d assume a lot of people’s decision to attend would be based on location anyway.
I’ve booked it either way so I can come and cuddle @NorthloopCup into a good mood.
What’s the reason for not just saying where it is? Is it to build mega suspense? Or just to let people get through Jan before having to book a hotel room?
