About the exact same for me I was just wonder...

Re: Right or Left Hand...
I always use my right hand but I practice left hand for going left to right with tig but if I'm wanting to stack dimes ill use my right hand holding the torch I would try going with the left hand holding the torch because you write left handed but hey being good at both couldn't hurt!!

Re: Got bored today
Nice! Find a cheap replacement bbq grate and tack a few tabs to hold it, and take the price up $50? :lol: Seriously, a lid for it so the user can extinguish a fire quickly if the wind comes up/keep the rain out when not in use would be a selling feature. I really need to do some rearranging and wir...

Got bored today

Lincoln vantage 300
I was working as a helper for a welder today and all the sudden his vantage 300 with the kabota diesel won't strike an arc it happened in the time of two minutes between welds. Any one have any idea what it might be??

First on the welding table if you have the option of going thicker than 1/4 I would all the heat from welding will end up bowing the table top, And for stick welding Jody makes a bunch of good stick welding videos showing ALOT of arc shots and positioning ect... Another good one on YouTube is Chucke...

Is there a specific tungsten that should be used on mild steel? Or is it just kind of a user preference type deal?

Re: Advice on buying a Mig
I have a Hobart 210mvp. The tap settings for voltage don't bother me a bit. It also does very well on 115 v power. Maybe for thin autobody panels the click settings might not do quite as well at super low voltage but I don't think infinite settings are needed for most jobs. The 210 does have a plas...

Re: Another tig question...
Heliarc is the old school name for TIG, and it comes from the original use of helium shielding gas, which also has the effect of making the arc even hotter. Adding helium to argon is still a technique for boosting heat, but helium is more expensive. So basically the same thing just different shield...

Another tig question...
Here's another question about tig welding I have as I'm trying to learn for a career in a few years but here's my question of the day... What is heli Arc tig? And how does it differ from regular (well what I think is regular sorry if I'm wrong) tig welding with argon?

Re: Advice on buying a Mig
I have the 181i I wish I had the 211i but I got it for free but it's a great little welder and actually impressed me I'm happy with it and its very easy to move its easy to use and it has a door chart but now most mig welders do now.
