Re: Difference between the two.

HAH Well, as I said, I am teaching myself all of this stuff.

I thought, to mig or tig weld, with a Bobcat, I needed additional stuff. I may be a moron, but I know there is not a wire feeder with my Bobcat. haha

hmmm

Now I'M confused. haha

Time to Google.

Re: Difference between the two.

So, I was looking at the suitcase things. They would save me space. The things are more than the Millermatic though. haha

Can I weld the same thickness metal, with a suitcase, as I can with the Millermatic? I see they have like six of them.

Re: Difference between the two.

Yes, haha the Bobcat can do mig and tig. But, I need expensive stuff to do either. So I believe.

I use the Bobcat for stick and as a generator.

The APH tig, I use for tig.

Someone once told me, it would be better to get different machines. Thus, putting less stress on the Bobcat.

Difference between the two.

Ok, I got myself a Bobcat 250.  I got myself an AHP tig welder.  NOW, I am getting a mig welder.  I will do so in June. I have taught myself to weld.  I am surprised at the fact that I could.  haha  I had a brain injury in 03.  It feels good to know my mind still works.  ANYWAY, I see the difference...

Re: Harbor Freight Vulcan.

That is my problem with store and their sites. They always tell me that same thing.

Oh well, I will just order a Millermatic 252 in June.

Harbor Freight Vulcan.

I have a Bobcat 250 and an AHP Alpha Tig. I have been wanting a mig welder. Yes, I could get stuff to do that on my Bobcat. But, I would rather use a different machine. I am teaching myself to weld. I have gotten stick and tig down. I was shocked that I could teach myself to do those types. haha ANY...

Re: Hammer, air compressor and anything else my mind is baki

I found nothing when I looked up the stuff you said. haha Well, I DID see a hammer that was expensive as hell.

If the electric one, from jet, will have less noise, than I would get that one. I wish I know someone who had one of these things. I would hover to their location and listen.

Haha. Well, my Bobcat is loud also.

I have had visions of stuff. Designs I mean. Then I found out about the hammer.

I think the air one would work better. I can find nothing out on the electric one.

Lower those amps.

Ok, I just watched a cool video on here. Welding razor blades. I have an AHP Alpha 200 tig welder. Are there tig welders that are just for lower amps? If so, my ass will have to save for one. That being said, I would rather not spend $1000 on one.

Re: playing with box cutter blades #razorbladechallenge

Very cool. I am teaching myself to weld. I have a Bobcat 250 and an AHP Alpha 200 tig. Can that thing go as low as the welder you are using? If not, after AHP gets their mig welder bag in and I buy it, I will have an excuse to buy another toy.

Hammer, air compressor and anything else my mind is baking.

I ordered a northern tool planishing hammer. It was like $129. I've no clue how to use it. haha But, it seems like an interesting thing to learn HOW to use. I see Harbor Freight has one cheaper. Anyone have any idea on how the two compare? The one I ordered is back ordered and will ship in like 18 d...

Then, things went to hell. haha I just can not figure out, what happened. I am going to say screw it for a couple of days. Also, the torch gets so freaking hot,...
