I have a Lincoln Squarewave 200 and recommend highly

So I make these 16 inch diameter rotating turn tables on a lazy susan ball bearing for motorcycles. Just wondering if I wanted to try using as a positioner would I find that I am more likely to arc across the balls in the bearing as it will be the path to the work table for the positive current? Hop...

Love mine does a very nice job both DC and AC

I can tack with one close but that is it, in TIG you will notice arc rolls around and around and acts like wind is blowing across it.

Miller Digital Elite with a 2.5 cheater lens on X mode and I am very pleased both ARC and TIG welding.

Made this smoker box for a friend this weekend. Adding legs right now. One heavy SOB 1/4 inch plate 22 by 14 inches. Putting a grate inside tomorrow.

Well my employer here in Michigan required that mechanics in maintenance (my job) lift 80# three times from ground level to overhead and on a shelf, and repeat, or your not hired. Now at 53 I had lumbar disc removal and fused pins and screws to strengthen. My 11 months of physical therapy and work h...

Take a look at the classifieds I have a barely used Everlast 160STH in there for sale a great machine.

I purchased my 125 Argon cylinder lasted me 11 months. About $60 for exchange for full one.

Tried to learn some acoustic guitar and never really had the skill set or the dedication. But still try now and again.

Rocket stove fun

Yep make one that is the best way to get what you want. I made mine out of some square tubing I had laying around.

I hadn't stick welded in years until lately and this was my second string with 7018 1/8 inch rod don't recall amps but I believe 125 I was satisfied with this run. I really need to practice vertical.

I like the split bolt idea. I'll assume they can handle the amps well? I've never used them so I don't know what they're capable of. The split-bolt will handle tons of current. I'd suggest using a barrier cream like No-Ox-Ide A or some similar dielectric grease to prevent electrolysis between the d...

I use Miller digital elite which uses X mode detects magnetic field as you strike arc and works flawlessly, works fine using the four sensors as well. Glad you figured it out.

Well I live in a rural area and have been getting the word out (and some business cards) that I am here for welding services, fabrication work not much interested in mobile work. Just about everyone in my area has a stick welder, have three large fabrication businesses in the area, and I specialize ...

Thanks to all your great videos Jody I have learned to weld aluminum but getting a consistent dab timing/spacing has lots of room for improvement. I use the technique you show and just need practice.

Welcome I to enjoy bikes road and off road but riding more than building them.

Or for those of us w/o a chop saw clamp a straight edge (scrap piece of steel flat stock) at 45 degrees, and follow edge with a right angle grinder.

Okay good to know thanks.

Just saw this wheel being used for tungsten on Weld .com Mr Tig seems to be the ticket out of my budget right now but he said 5000 plus grinds and still like new. https://www.mcmaster.com/#abrasive-grinding-wheels/=16p88qt. go to glass grinding in left column will get you there is plastic with steel...

Cheap route if you can make an adapter... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH9h5Tu76As I saw this last year no longer have access to a lathe but would be a possibility. Chain saw sharpener blade. Checking Harbor Freight just now and grinding blades for the saw sharpener are wrong arbor size for my n...

I am thinking of replacing my dedicated wheel on my pedestal grinder for tungsten. I currently use a general purpose wheel and would like to go to a more tungsten friendly wheel, in hopes of getting a better finish on my tungsten. Been using aluminum oxide 5 inch w 1/2 inch arbor. I cannot spend hun...

nice choice of materials have fun
