Re: New Aluminium Welder Woes

before you try welding anything clean your piece of and light up on it
move the torch around and see if there is any cleaning action going on.
this will at least tell you that your balance and gas are in the ballpark.

Re: My attempt at a welding cart..

nice build!
i like all the welders on one cart as well.
what i did was put the chiller on draw tracks
so i could slide it out to fill and service it.
issue with mine is rear wheels are not sufficient
to caring all the tank weight and get flat spots if
i don't move it occasionally....
