I bought a $150 Acetetyne torch set off Amazon. I know it is a cheap one, but its just for my home shop. It works well till I try the rose bud. After adjusting it & then start heating it pops & goes out. I noticed it also gets hot. I had it set 7 psi gas & 15 psi Oxg. It must be my setti...

You guys are the best. I have a old Miller mig welder I could use instead if you guys think it would work. This one is a 120 millermatic 220 volt. It would be a transformer type also being I bought it new in the 1980,s. Being it does not pull the amps the other does would it be safe to use it. If no...

After another power outage I finally broke down a bought a generator. I bought a HF Predator 8750 watt
after doing much research. My question other than power for my home, will it power my Miller 200 Syncrowave
transformer style welder?

If your talking about repairing a crack I have done that many times. I drill a small hole
at the ends of the crack. I vee the crack some by grinding. I then preheat the casting
& then braze it. It has always worked for me.

How much more CFM would be recommend using a #12 lens over a #8?

Fly

I use a #6 to #8 on most everything I weld. What would say a #12 gas lens be used for?

Fly

I have done many cast iron cracked jobs. I always drill a hole at each end of crack to prevent the crack
from going any farther. I almost always braze them. For cracks in cylinder heads I plug weld them. Never
had a come back in 45 years.

Well I said cold saw, it is a cold Dry chop saw. It came with a 14 inch multiple cutting blade that is
advertised to cut steel, alum or stainless. Do you guys have a blade sharpen shop you could recommend ?

Fly

I have a evulsion cold saw. I love it but my blade has finally dulled. I cut more aluminum than steel, but this blade has been a good performer. It is the one that came on the saw. It is a all purpose blade the rage. Is there a better one you can recommend? Fly :D

NEVER use sand paper to clean Aluminum. Scotch pads & acetone work best for me.

Well I do like the clarity of it. Good to hear you have not any issues. But I have & I hope I wont in the future. Right now I,m using my cheap auto darkling & its not to bad, but not as clear. It only has 2 censers but 90% of my welding on the table. I wish I could afford a $400 helmet but t...

Here is the deal. My helmet is a Viking 3350. The retaining frame latches do not whole the lenses in & I looked up the parts # KP4004-1. They said I must call them for a price. I tried to e-mail them of that sight with no luck. So much for product support . Hell I would buy one if I could get ho...

I bought a Lincoln Viking helmet a couple of years back. Jody said he really liked them. There not cheap. My complaints are this. They eat batteries like a mouse eats cheese. The screen is great if you can get it back into the helmet with out breaking the cheap slide plastic latches. I have NEVER ha...

Dry saw will cut stainless tube like butter, faster with little to no burrs. A shop with
out one is living in the past.

Thanks Jim. I got to thinking about the torch & you saying they using different torches as you said. So I looked at the # on torch & was a AG 50. Googled that & bing go. Amazon had several sets a lot less than Lotos. I read the reviews & off of 30 reply's they must be pretty good . I...

OK I,m not getting much response to my question. So let me ask this. Have you guys had
any luck with the cheaper Plasma Cutter consumables from E-Bay?

Do any of you know the cheapest place to buy Lotos LT5000D Plasma Cutter consumables?

When you recommend cleaning, are you removing the cover & blowing it out with a air hose?
