It's good that they took care of that so quick, so besides that what is your opinion of their 4th gen 3350? What other auto darkening hoods do/have you used?

Good start to the year!

Good deal, it's a new year so time to shape up!! figuratively you got rid of the crutches in your life and moving forward free from its bondage...

Good job Nick!

Jonathan of Superior welding has the Walter Surfox which I presume is similar, he has talked about this on the WTT podcast

David DeMoise sells tab and slot tables, he has been on the WTT podcast, you might try getting a quote from him.

From this site "Aluminum 5052 also happens to be the strongest non-heat-treatable sheet and plate in common use. 5052 isn’t just easily welded and highly corrosion-resistant, it is also tough and strong. It has good drawing properties and a high rate of work hardening. Its overall versatility, ...

Looks good!

who is it?

Since you're in Florida, contact Alro metals, they have value added services. Their website lists grinding but I don't know if it's blanchard grinding...

David, can you post a pic of this setup, what grit is the diamond wheel?

Use a heatsink if possible, also make a short weld, stop and let it cool then repeat

The OP's last visit to the forum was in 2016 Concerning your blowout, this is normal and a purge would do the same. Best to stop the weld just before closing it off, let the joint cool then go back and seal it. The smaller the internal volume the harder this would be, a large enough internal volume ...

So you have 2 pressure gages, one to show the pressure in the tank, the other to show the pressure out to the torch, you're saying the torch side returns to 0 after the post flow times out?

Nice, don't forget the ear plugs

Are you trying to sell or buy it? Do you have photos? Is it clean or beat up?

Perhaps you could post some links or photos to machines that are available to you

Hello Alberto
Welcome to the forum, to recommend a welder it would help to know where you are located and what machines are available to you

I've used one of these as well, run the line to your bench and have this so you can stop the flow between parts or as needed without getting up

Still seemed odd to me that I could find NO ONE that used the 'output' option or even spoke of it. Steve if you're trying to purge exhaust tube (or any volume) then you'll need flow before you start to weld, you have to flush out the air and that won't happen just when gas is flowing while welding....

Welcome to the forum You don't say what it is that you're welding, although for your question it may not be important, still I'm curious to know. If what you're doing works with your setup then all is good, if I'm welding a part with a back purge then it's typically finished in short order, it could...

Nice...

With the Dynasty's you can go into the menu's and adjust the start amperage

I thought you said TIG welding, not material handling
