Re: Newbie in Houston, TX

This truly is ironic, I have my E.E. too. Worked 30 years in communications. (wireless) Didn't get into welding until after that. Broke something and just about crapped when the LWS told me how much they wanted to fix it. Went out and bought a tig welder that same day. :lol: oh yeah, WELCOME aboard!

Re: Looking for help on deciding what welder to buy

As this forum is to sell and trade equipment for our forum members I'm going to move your topic to the "General" sub-forum where you'll likely get more views. On that note I'd love to have a Ranger but it's not in the budget.

Re: Help ID Blade (Bandsaw) Welder

sparkness is right on his I.D. It came out of a 12" Powermatic vertical bandsaw Model 87. The blade welder is a Model 600 and runs on 115 or is 3 phase. There were two different versions of this welder. A manual can be downloaded here for $13.50. http://industrial-library.com/catalog/product_in...
