a couple weeks ago when i was there waiting for the shop foreman to come get me for the test i happened to let out a big yawn as he was walking up he said "you aint supposed to be yawning before a weld test" haha

i'm going to call in the morning.

i was notified via email today. i was working so i didn't have a good chance to respond, but yeah i'm going to take their offer.

mike

well. they offered me a job today!

mike

isnt that everlast rated at 50 amps?

mike

i really appreciate the advice from everyone.

i think i will wear a nice shirt and tie and have work clothes/gear in the truck just in case.

hell i might even shave

michael

that's a good one.

im talking about an interview with the human resources division of a welding company. actually, the company does work in defense, aerospace, nuclear + , so they do more than welding. im leaning towards wearing my shop type clothes i.e dickies and a polo + work boots albeit clean with no holes or sta...

what are the best ( and least expensive while still maintaining a high level of sensitivity) hydro carbon detectors/monitors?

i assume these have an audible alarm?

thanks.

I'm going to HAVE to start a thread on my next aluminum repair

please do!

I order a lot for work from the local place, and it kills me when you go and they say "we don't have it but can order it", well so can I, and it's generally cheaper and comes faster. That drives me nuts. i have that very same thought. but im there for the "gas". They are kind en...

Mike, what kind of torch stuff you looking for specifically? right at the moment i need/want a tig torch assembly that has a gas valve/shut off on the torch. i just bought a transformer type AC/DC tig/stick machine and needless to say they dont come with a solenoid to shut off gas before or after w...

here's something interesting i found
http://n4trb.com/AmateurRadio/GE_HamNew ... No%206.pdf

seems it was a type of tube for HAM radio.

mike

is there one or two places good that anyone can recommend?

i get the feeling my LWS is jerking me around slightly or at the least i want to make sure they aren't by comparing prices with some stuff.

google hasnt been much help in finding small stuff like tig torch assemblies.

thanks

MIKE

what if you found a metal yard stick and used that to make your "tab measurement stick"?

that way, you not only get a real time fit up, but you get the measurement without have to grab a tape measure.

this machine has a crank handle to change amperage so i think its definitely a NO to being able to add a foot pedal.

it was still available so i bought it! the guy even threw in a miller rfcs-14 foot pedal!

does anyone know if its possible to rig a transformer type machine to have a foot pedal amp control?

nice.
i did read where it said almost 200lbs !

it doesnt look that heavy

that's what i was thinking.
cool thanks!
now, if it's still there by tomorrow evening

really, for 300 bones i dont think i can go wrong.

this thing is probably indestructible... BUT like i said earlier i just wonder if ill wish that i had saved up and got a fancier one soon after getting this one

the torch and leads, argon regulator.. here's a link to the owner's manual. http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o302j_mil.pdf it seems that there is no place for a foot pedal other than one that controls the HF. i figured if an amperage control could be made it would have to be a do it yourself type deal

can anyone give their opinion on a Miller Econo Twin HF ? ive found one for around $300 is this a good unit to learn on? or am i better off saving money and buying something with more capabilities like pulse and what not? this machine CANT be set up to use a foot control for varying amperage.. at le...
