NICE buggy. Now I see what you've been building. I see a road trip coming.

At the present time, I get enough emails (which I signed up for) from various manufacturers and suppliers showing sales and to enter their promo contests to win products. ....looking for completed surveys ( I DON'T do surveys). Most of them are deleted after reading.

it ALL depends on bag position

I do from time to time use a tig button on my 256D when I feel that I'll be moving around a bit. I usually do all of my work right on my table and use the foot pedal - kick it here, kick it there. Without doubt, the button took a while to get accustomed to..and for the most part, find it hard to fig...

Thanks for sharing that, Buggy. He moves around a lot like you do...

One nice thing about the "air" operated tools....they will STOP when they get caught in something. An old friend of mine had an electric grinder that sounded like a Ford 427 at idle when he would just squeeze the trigger...couldnt stand the NOISE when he gave it full throttle. The electric...

don't plan on coming here. the present gov is one river rat power monger A hole.

hey buggy,,,,that material was also exposed to some LN2 and essence of bull manure. haven't used it for much of anything since I had it out there.

I'm with tweake on this one.

I have a flat top that gets used a lot for other than welding. I have a smaller fixture table that sites on top of the flat top that gets used a LOT for welding and assembly of parts. The fixture table allows faster fit up and holds parts in position any where along the inner boundaries of the table...

Tony, did you find that the X6 headgear to be more comfortable than the headgear that came with the 3rd gen hood? I've got a spot on my head that is getting more sensitive to pressure,,,,like from my nose .. up

Welcome to the family.

Hello Amanda and welcome aboard. If you can show some pictures, it will help. Only thing I can offer in TIG is be patient and practice.

Nice job Oscar . Thanks for sharing.

THAT'S NICE !!!! sure wish we were closer. I make a great watcher during a build.

Lookin good, Mr. And the terms "recycle" and "baby steps" certainly comes into all of our lives. Keep on keepin on.

I brought a tank of C10 with me buggy.

what are you using for the intake vent on your pit when the door is closed?

I also believe that you're right, Spartan. I took the old solenoid apart and found the piston and bore highly polished. I would also imagine that a small piece of dirt or some kind of contaminate would cause problems. OR IF the o ring should be lubricated to allow smoooooooth operation of the piston...

I had a solenoid issue with one of my machines. It would always fully open but occasionally would not close following weld termination, even after post flow time. A little tap with anything and it would close and work properly for a while and then act up again until it got a little tap. Replaced the...

NICE, Tony. Not only are you going to be building modular dumpsters, but now designing modular jigs. Once someone sees those dump bodies, they are coming looking for YOU to make more.

I like the expanded metal idea too. I tried that when I fixed a water bucket ... once.

just being around stuff, one should be aware of things that may happen. Being around MOVING items one should be more aware and do their best to prevent accidents.
bap,,,are you sure the ground wasn't shaking out there when the tubes fell???

going to be a great project for ya, chips. Great reason to get yourself a mag drill. Pictures of the progress.
