Pay the $60 Xt and get it from Airgas........

BRITZ ? That explains everything. Cancel July 4. They won in 1913

Hi guys, I'm new to welding and currently in school. One thing I can't quite get the hang of is finishing a weld from one edge to the other without completely melting the edges when I finish. I think it's because the metal is getting too hot. I've had some luck with lowering the amperage on the end...

Thanks - not really buying anything from them now but I have done as you mentioned in the past - I got most things I need now & I think they are kinda over priced & not as well made as years ago - maybe price stateside is better - most things seem to be - the UK gets ripped off big time on ...

Is it possible to use a carbon arc torch with a regular stick welder to braze copper water pipe? I need something that is flame-free to heat up a copper pipe and then braze it. The only carbon arc torches I've seen are used and cost $150! There's got to be a cheaper solution. The best alternative I...

You said NewB... I say cutoff wheels. Master them because no matter how much fancy your wallet allows for;that disc will always be a must. Make sure you're an expert with them. #2 would be the portaband used hand held.The table is a luxury ....and a crutch. #3 would be an oxyfuel rig. Preferably wit...

I wipe mine down with a little mineral spirits with paste wax dissolved in it.A pint bag of paste wax and about 1/2 pint of varsol. I use the same thing on my shop floors every several weeks. I had a gallon can leak a big glob of John Deere green on the floor the other night. Peeled it right off the...

I could have built a building faster.
Actually, I have

If yyou have a way to cut it 'properly" ? Buy it and put the word out that you have some with the heavy equipment crowd.Nobody wants a whole sheet but will pay a premium for a piece cut to size, and perhaps drilled, for a dozer/backhoe/track machine repair.You can turn that couple hundred into ...

I was down toward the Carib coast yesterday installing another entrance gate. It was 94-ish. I ran a bunch of 7018 at about 105 amps.Tank top,shorts, hiking boots, pipeliner helmet and a left handed glove(only one). Been doing it for around 45 years. Lucky I guess.I suppose if I was in the land of d...

Its a lil heavy for a cheapo air nibbler(if you have air?) and a lil too lite for a jigsaw. Choose the jigsaw. Lay the tin on top of a piece of thin plywood, 1 x 4 crap wood or even drywall and cut away.Vibration is what kills saw blades. PERIOD. Buy a good metal cutting jigsaw blade. The Dewalts at...

Roundhouse and fab shop. N&W RR 1977-81 in Roanoke was a piece of work
Turkey Point nuke plant.......85-ish-90 and back and forth between card and contractors.55 fl Centrust was at the same time.Lotsa bolts.
Had a buddy sail off holding a sheet of plywood---and lived ! Fun stuff.

Maybe he got a new Zapper...a Kim Dong Too Short model 3 and leveled the place. The first couple days the outage site showed a red dot over my house so I was thinking I was a Zapee

I'm pretty sure Zzzap got ahold of a taco that was too hot and burned the place down.
That hobby guy.....shLepp, will fix it. Once he finishes the quilt

Be careful with " cold blue" It may contain some surprises( and is a complete ripoff). Ospho or a pure phosphoric from a chemical outfit or building supply.

When you were nursing I was chasing shutdowns and one of my best friends was a 1/2 Proto spud ratchet....

Have you considered a Lincoln 210mp? Jody and his buddy JD Brewer really like it and JD uses it in his business running dual shield almost exclusively. You may have seen it but it is in a number of Jody's videos. Womb Broom® :mrgreen: runs the 210 mostly out. He has a monster in his shop. There's a...

I'd send it back and roll out one that will work

can someone please tell me why welding chrome heavy wall pipe is such good money ?? i Recently heard of a job at work where they had to hire some guy to weld some chrome pipe in a battery plant i work in and every one was talking about how much it cost to bring this one guy in to weld . But anyway ...

Ospho. Just wipe it on lightly.I gallon is about 60 overpriced bottles of cold blue for 1/20 the cost

You know what they say about opinions. For the cost of one of those pieces of shiite I can put receptacles avery six feet from one end of the shop to the other, on both walls, and not have to deal with the battery scam. In the field on a scaffold or where there is no electric is one thing. In a shop...

I had one for a while. I sold it. I'll just run my Victors You want to weld 1/2" you better be a patient guy. I've done a little 1/4" here and there and that was plenty.Get a little DC inverter stick to weld with. Use the cobra for other stuff.

Ask for Excalubur 7018MR It's helps a lot with your scenario
