Yes Oxy rigs are not as popular as they once were. MIG and TIG are getting better but I guess the big thing is MIG and TIG rigs are getting less expensive. ...
My 380 produced smoke this weekend, and I don't mean from the tip. A resistor on the main control board burned up. Is there anyone out there with a Hypertherm...
I would go solid wire with gas - I suspect either straigt CO2 or an 75% Argon/25% CO2 mixture works best (at least according to my SP175T manual). I usually...
Bought one a few years ago after seeing Jesse James welding an aluminum gas tank up on one of his early specials. It does have a learning curve, and you'll...
An example of it's ability... when I was building my house I needed to cut some 1/4" steel angle to build a support for my carrying beam. I unpacked my Henrob...

I've never used one but I looked it up. In my opinion anything that says auto set would make me suspicious. I don't trust a machine that does the settings for...
I guess you won't be looking for a new wire feed welder much longer. It seems that more are autoset. But they do have a manual override. What is this about a...
I have a plastic tank from a 70s bolens tractor (HT20) that has seen better days. I searched around for an affordable replacement, and am not finding options....
I've made lots of auxiliary fuel tanks for trucks and pickups. It isn't hard. Use either mild or stainless steels, your choice. I've always used mild steel...
What I mean by a dedicated circuit is a plug that's for the welder only on its own breaker. I have an older Lincoln sp100. I've found the best way to get it to...
Your line voltage will vary. During peak usage it can go very low so you will have to adjust your heat even if your household usage doesn't change. My shop is...

Hmmm. CO2 is hazardous? We all better start holding our breath and stop exhaling, being the CO2 generating devices we are! Oh, and all animal life might as...
I just have this feeling that welders will be paying the most in "green fees". Going to get some tanks refilled today and I'll ask what is predicted. Don't...
