I'm about to go outside and put together my new 30' leads for my 230amp 
AC stick welder... *then* I'm going to test out my new 1/8" cutting rod 
on the racer carcass...

Maybe I can get a decent deal from both works.. cutting with the cutting 
rod and welding with the welding rod.. not as pretty a weld as the MIG, 
nor as easy a cut as the torch...  but the price was right, and I 
*needed* the welder the weekend I bought it (stupid spring mounts keep 
ripping from the frame... )
