Re: Cable Connectors for old Stick Welder
I didn't realize that you could still get those parts. I should have known. I will go to praxair and see if they can get other parts I may need. Or if they can get them.

Re: TIG grounding concept for small parts. What do you think
Would the current going through the bearing cause a problem with it maybe becoming magnetized? Why not clamp the ground to the vise grips and save that problem? More direct ground it always better right?

Brass backer instead of Copper?
Will a brass plate help out with tig welding ss the same as copper? OR does it have to be copper to prevent the back of the welds crystallizing?
Thanks in advance guys. As always it is always appreciated.

Its not the strap its the weight of it. It fits well and I do change the setting a little bit here and there. Maybe I will be looking into that helmet Mike. Or maybe make one out of fiber carbon LMAO.

Re: Angle steel corners
I don't think it would matter which way. The welds are just as strong either way. Its not like a wood connection where you want to maximize the area of connection. All that matters is that you like the outcome. Be artsy with it and miter the corners. Be functional and butt them together. Up to you. ...
