Right now I have a 50 Amp 230 Volt standard plug and about a 30 ft of cord.

I can toss it in and if we need another grinder it will be there.

That is a sweet set up, maybe leave it set up for 220, I am not sure who is bringing what.

I was thinking use the heat treat forge for most of the heat treating during the day, and use the 220 for grinders and the occasional welding.

If we need some serious annealing I can program the electric oven and let it run over night.

Two 220 grinders, is anybody else bringing a 220 ginder?

Well, I COULD ask Tim to bring mine if another is needed. My flat platen is out of commission though because I still have not gotten around to ordering a new glass plate. I guess I should do something about that.

Randy just needs to get a trailer hitch for that Caddy!

I am surprised the caddy doesn't have a hitch...

I feel like I am forgetting something this is what I am thinking we have,

ScottGoodman – highspeed Grizzley 110

bluesman7 – 2x72 220

rolodave – 2x72 110

spazola – 2x72 110

32t – 2x72 either

Randydance - 2x72 110, 32t bringing

Thats awesome! We will get the power lined out!

I spoke with Randy tonight and I could bring his 110 one I brought a couple of years ago but the fun thing I see with mine is that it has its own bench.

From previous experience bench space is at a premium.

I am thinking one more grinder would be a good idea, it is going to be like a sardine can in the shop.

I was trying to think of an answer and didn't have a good one to reply other than that will be a good problem to have!

Could we keep Bruno on European time so he could do his thing early in the morning?

If we use the 1095 and 15n20, we shouldn't need the oven to anneal. we did that last year by going to critical and then placing between 2 soft bricks. For O2 that was a big fail but 1095 was a success. that way we can do everything but tempering.
