do u still have the torches?

I don't have aluminum either...I'll probably have to (open root) do it that way...i mean i guess it don't matter really if it sugars really...im drilling part of it back out when i learn to read a tape again... ...I can't believe i didn't double check it

how do u get one in the us? is says they don't ship to north America? Is there a pdf i can download or something?

So i was building a material rack for my truck an decided on boltin it to the truck...(seemed easier to remove if need be)...but i drilled the hole a 1/4" off an i needed to plug it. Well i can't find my welding spoon so i asked a buddy from work if he had one or a piece of copper...an he told ...

I like the thinner gloves for feeding my fill rod...but anymore I don't like switching gloves for this or that...it just takes time that i could be getting stuff done...I started using the tillman drivers gloves with the double palm....but i got a pair of regular drivers gloves with the kevlar threa...

Well technically it's gonna be 3 certs im getting...I wanna get 1 stick 1 mig an 1 TIG....this is coming out of my pockets so after these then i imagine the company can pay for em...you see what im getting at?

Im wanting to buy a nice high end auto darkening hood...I've never had one due to the nature of my work. I watched my boss knock his off when we were working on a ceiling an watched it turn into a piece of trash. Now my use of my hood isn't gonna be so rough on it an I was looking at these two...any...

galvanized or cast iron....well im not to fond of stick welding aluminum either

Id also like to here what situations would someone prefer DC to weld aluminum...Im thinking id like to try it but id kinda like to see the video Jody was talking about before just winging it trying to figure out where to start

Id sure like to see that!!! I wonder now that deep penetration was mentioned....Could u use it for thinner material?? not too thin...like 1/8" aluminum???

I have a Miller Maxstar 200DX an I need a new pedal. An I don't have the cash for a brand new one. Lift arc is ok but i prefer the quick adjustability. If u have one u can part with I'll check the post for any response

I have these bits left over from a job...an no longer have a mag drill for them. They r brand new...I also hae a 11/16" bit in...ok shape that I will throw in...neither the two bits nor the 3 center pins have been used. Im not real sure what i want for them so serious offers r cool....or maybe ...

I might just make a dumb suggestion an im sorry if it is....your welds look good btw...but I've noticed when i weld with the pulse per second that if u use a higher pulse (id say 30+) I have sometimes doubled my normal amperage or heat to get the same penetration. It was tricky for me to get used to...

Any discoloration on ur electrode? An im sure u checked for leaks but i had a torch leak under the handle where it connects to the lead...an it was the very last thing i checked. It's been said but yeah too much gas is just as bad as too little

Well im welding on 1/2" plate with a 1/4" backing plate...now im not sure if it's right as for a plate test i just saw a video on the website and i had 1/2", 1/4", 3/16", & 1/8"...so that's what i decided to try. I built a simple stand to practice all positions. I s...

I got a lil over 2 years welding experience in the fabrication shop and the field. I know im gonna have to do more research on getting a cert...but I was kinda curious if u would pick 1 cert to kinda show an employer that u are well rounded what would u pick. Id run into problems when i went huntin...

Well I got the backing plate off!!! An looked pretty good to me. Is that bender pretty tough? I think it'd b a nice addition to my arsenal of tools. Does it work on thicker steel?

hey thanks buddy!! That sounds like that's a much smarter way to go about it....Id really like to bend test it too but i don't have a press brake or anything.. do u have any ideas about that??

ok yeah that backing plate won't budge!! With a hammer an chisel. Someone mentioned a special tip for an aceteline torch? What was it a 90° tip number 2???!! I wish i wasn't doing this out of my garage for practice...or wish i had equipment or resources to machine it off...it's on there pretty good....

Yeah just so u guys know i know what ur talkin about with the 24-48 hr thing I've had that to...i get the pains in my back an i get horrific chills and tremors I've had that probably 5/6 times. I mean Idk exactly what was determined cuz it was told to my parents while i was in a coma. My parents wer...

Also I wasn't rushed to the hospital from work...it was later at night. A gf came over an i was not myself i was hallucinating an was saying some pretty crazy stuff so she called an ambulance.

I shouldve gotten a lawyer...but i just wanted my job....i shouldve been more concerned about the whole picture...it's ok that everyone wants to question it i guess. Cuz I know now looking back i shouldve handled the whole thing differently. An that's something i now have to live with.

my family didn't feel like it was a smart thing. thinking they would just fire me. I mean this don't prove nothin i guess if everyone thinks im lying. An also the place i worked for refused to let me get my insurance even tho id been eligible for 6 months. I guess one of those learning experiences.

that is a good deal...kinda wish they weren't 2pc...

Otto i never said i had a flu for a year? I also got some kind of recurring tremor to that they said won't go away but it's not all the time...im not sure if it was zinc. I think it was hexavalent chromium...i think I wasn't conscious of when they told my family...but on the main site jody even wrot...
