Mad about mobiles asked:

How do I cut flat stainless steel?
Debbie asked:
I need to know what I need to cut a flat sheet of stainless steel that is 1/8 thick. I need to cut it in 4×6 panels without using a torch or plasma cutter. I need to know what kind of saw and blades would be best

Lug nut ripped in half?
Max M asked:
I ripped a lug nut in half on my 84 Camaro Z28 with a torque bar. The nut is torn up terribly and then my shop teacher suggested putting an air hammer to it to try to get it off so I did and now there’s nothing to grab at all on it. I’m thinking that my only option is to destroy the rim by putting a cetaline torch or plasma cutter to it. Is there any other option for me unfortunately I don’t think there is.

What Welder to get?
Brian B asked:
I am looking into getting a welder and need help selecting a model. I need a very versatile welder, since I will be welding a large variety of materials and thicknesses. At the least, I need something that can weld thin metal (automobile exhaust, maybe stainless) and weld up to 1/2″ steel. I would also like to be able to weld aluminum. What would make the best welder for this type of versatility. Also, what would be a good plasma cutter? Thanks
