Considering the time you had under the hood it looks really good. Etching is a good idea. But if I were you, I wouldn't hurry to weld many different materials right away. Stay with carbon steel, change positions, change joint types. You don't even have to weld any joints; practice welding beads on a...

I had mine 3350 4C for five months. Field of view is huge, but the most important thing to me was the color trueness in active mode. Much better than regular 3M 9100 I had before. Lincoln's head gear looks comfortable, but I could't find the right position for prolonged welding without constant read...

Right, no pipes for now. Just thick plates, big rods and machined parts. Thank you for the link. Hopefully I would find what I need.

For the last 5 months I've been welding only 304 and 316 SS with some aluminum here and there. It's a relatively big workshop, but there are only two weldor...
