If one wants to see soft shackles put to hard use, go over to youtube and check out some of the videos by "Matt's Offroad Recovery" in Utah. He uses...

That's true but I think people use OCV as a proxy for CCV - even if it is not always a good one. I know many are determined to run 6010 as it's...

Not always voltage you need to turn up. Sometimes a small increase in wire speed makes the difference between cold weld & good fusion. I can see it...

I don't think that is exactly right. I don't think ability to run 6010 makes an inverter good or bad. Running 6010 is a matter of being designed to...

Shootr, When I have to patch holes like your's in sheet metal, I like to use 1/16" 6013 rods, amps turned down where they will just make a bead. ...

Looks great. Dave

A motor book I've kept above my desk 15 years estimates a 5% imbalance in phase voltage can increase internal BTU in a motor 40%. They don't estimate...

Square D now has Motor Logic motor control. The old motor control in your picture likely uses melting alloy thermal units. An electric heater wraps...

Universal motors will, yes I know the diffeerence.

ALSO covered in that manual i mentioned ….. edit: apparently.

I disagree. I've read OCV can most definitely help light it off in the beginning, but to keep it lit, the arc voltage after it settles down from the...

Glad it was an easy fix!

When TIG was developed it was called Heliarc Helium is by far the preferred gas for TIG welding. It is largely unavailable & cost is prohibitive. A...

i bought a roll of dual sheild to mess around with and dont recall using a alot of gas flow. certainly not even close to 50cfh. probly like 20 or so....

Just bought mine sold my PM 300 a few years back regretted It but ya do what ya gotta do. Sold my pm255 to my nephew to make room for this. Got it...

Where meter located ? Dave

Wow congratulations and I’m sorry for your loss. Welcome to the fire simple get a bud that that does electrical and if you have space in the...

if the bead is humped and toes not wetting you can be sure its a bit cold. rather than autoset you can look at the chart in the door. if the material...

I agree 👍 Dave

Fluxcore needs more gas than solid wire. Fluxcore is faster than any other command type of welding Sorry about post did prof read My last post...

It's not like you have to keep a super B on the freeway with it... how pretty does a weld have to be to make good head?

Intermittent.

It's inside my shop, zero air current.

That cap is close enough, not critical. cg

That motor wouldn't have them. A/C motors though can have armature, commutator and brushes. Drills, angle grinders, sawzalls, skil saws, chop saws...

Those aren't worm tracks. Worm tracks can be fixed by lowering the voltage, but that's not the situation here. This looks like lack of gas coverage....
