That is one awesome looking rig. You should be extremely proud of that. I would sure hate to be your helper with a rig like that, I am sure you are very peticular as how it gets treated. I say that as I was hard to work with years ago with a good looking rig. Good job. Thanks! I do have a few thing...

Do you mean oxy- propane? If so, propane requires more oxygen for the preheat flame and a little slower cutting speed. There are four things required for successful cutting: proper tip size (and clean), oxygen pressure, speed, and clean material. The results you describe could be from a combination ...

Ideally, I would like a MIG unit with a spool gun connection to replace my current MIG welder. The one that comes t...

Thanks for the reply, Bert. You sound like you'd be my go-to man for what I want to know. I have watched some of Jody's videos, too. Don't know how many hours of vids he has, but going to work through them over the next weeks and months.
