Re: Flap wheels and aluminum
I'll have to give those a try Richard, Funny that we use aluminum oxide coated products to remove the aluminum oxide layer that cause so many issues.

Re: Tight arch???? Please teach me!
I hear ya Bill, some days are worse than others. A steady rest and a ever so slight lift of the torch when adding filler seems to help but not totally eliminate dipping. :( I used to compete in Hi Power and Benchrest, shooting off hand in Hi Power took some getting used to way back when, now days if...

Re: Very unhappy with Miller 625
It's a shame that a lot of manufacturers now days drop their support for their products so soon.. I had a Syncrowave 250 years ago the the main board failed, ended up finding a company that rebuilds them for a lot less than a replacing with a new one.

Re: grill for fire pit
Looks awesome Craig, what are the dimensions of those side panels? We have a old Whalen fire pit that has seen better days, thinking about making something a little more heavy duty than a store bought one.

Welcome! Make sure you practise before you attempt any welds on that kettle, I have a 15 gal Spike, their kettles and in house welders do nice work.

Re: If your newest favorite welder let you down.........
Hopefully you will have better luck with the replacement machine, I don't don't care what machine you buy none of them are perfect or service free. Some of the old time transformer based monsters were and are pretty darned reliable, inverters don't seem to be as robust has the older gen machines. Bu...

Re: Tungsten grinding question.
I found a Liquid Gold grinder used about ten years ago for a pretty good price, I had to get a new diamond wheel and a few other parts to make it right but it does work good. Not so sure I would spend the money to buy one brand new as they are proud as He!! of those things. http://i1371.photobucket....

I can't think of a steel, or stainless application where cost is justified. I don't pay $15 difference for a full sized bottle of Argon to a 75Ar/25He. I keep hearing that its "super expensive" to use Helium, but its not so in my experience. And, for giggles, right before Xmas I had to re...
