Options On Mig Nozzle?

I was welding the inside of a 45 degree angle. I needed a lot of stick out as the nozzle was too widee to get in there. Are there any different nozzles to allow me to get in tighter?

Re: Buying an A/C Tig

I am not a big fan of Everlast products. If it were me I would get the Lincoln Squarewave 200 and install a torch with a valve on it......that way you can shut off the gas long before the internal valve does. Also I would purchase the extended warranty that Lincoln offers......you are covered for 5 ...

I tried my hand at welding copper a few years ago. About the same as carbon steel. I used copper romex wire as filler rod.

Re: everlast 250ex vs htp 221

I have had an HTP 221 for going on 4 yrs. now. I considered an Everlast but declined due to questionable reviews. HTP has great customer service. I would do the same again.

Any chance your employer would allow you to take an argon tank home for a try? This would tell you straight away.

Re: Question On Mixing Helium With Argon!

Found this thru a Google search. Does this mean that since Argon and Helium are very close in numbers a flowmeter for Argon would work for Helium? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f354/rahtreelimbs/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-07/Screenshot_2017-07-08-16-01-33.png http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f354/ra...
