Re: My latest update

TamJeff, Yup, these props are boat props. No saltwater though. I live by Lake Superior so they are immersed in fresh water. You are right that I'm trying to do the thin edges of these. It's making me crazy. As I told you, I'm green as they get so I take a night away from the props now and then and p...

Re: My latest update

Thanks Steve. I kind of figured there is no way I can do much more than the edges so I'm trying to fill the chunks that are missing when hitting rocks. It's making me a bit crazy but you said a "tough place" to start, not impossible so I'll forge ahead.

My latest update

Well Gents, I'm new at welding but am really interested in learning all I can. First I bought a MM 211 and we seem to be getting along pretty well. Then I figured I better learn Tig so I bought a Diversion 180. We aren't getting along as well. I never had a Tig torch in my hand before this summer an...

Thanks Otto, I can't wait for it to arrive. UPS says next Tuesday. I bought a 125 cf of Argon so I hope that is big enough to last a while.

Opinions Please

Hi Guys, I guess it's a bit late to ask this as I've already ordered it but what do you guys think of the Miller Diversion 180 for a beginner in Tig? I never really did any welding and have been very interested for a long time. I bought a MM211 a month or two ago and have been burning wire as often ...

Question--Miller 211 (New guy from Michigan)

A question already guys. I'm trying to figure out the correlation between the reference numbers on the dial and the actual IPM and voltage. Hooked up to 220V it looks like the highest setting will give me 23.5V. I would assume that would be with the dial on 10, correct? How do I determine the lowest...

Re: New guy from Michigan

Thanks Guys. I bought a Miller 211. Sure wish I knew how to weld now but I figured it was a good starter machine.

New guy from Michigan

Hi Guys,
I was directed to you by a guy from Welding Web. I'm new to welding so he told me there is a wealth of knowledge here. I just bought a new welder so I think it's time to learn how to use it. Thank you all for making this forum possible.
