When I get to 9,000+ posts will I be a MASTER WELDER? Not angry, just disgusted with the endless need here to just barf out any old thing as if it...

Thank you :) Yeah I plan on keeping the most used things like PB, WD, starting fluid, brake cleaner etc on the main door that I’ll be using to get...

Thanks, cwgy and mla2ofus. I'll try hitting the rebar with a wire brush first and see if it helps.

Thanks, TToks. Gun angle is challenging in this instance. I'll up the wire speed and try again. I'll need to start, stop, reposition, repeat. I...

Hook, line, and sinker!! Lmao :laugh:

Usually just downstream of the trigger, on the end of the rotor shaft. Stuck governor valve doesn't really match your symptoms, as it wouldn't use...

I can say I'm the greatest welder on the planet, but I know damn sure I'd blow through that thin stuff with stick. Is what it is, and I can only do...

I’m a firm believer of OVERKILL but I finally conceded my 200 CFM Quincy was too big for a hobbyist. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You’ll want to add a drop or two into the air inlet each time you use. If you plan to use a dedicated outlet(s)/branch for air tools then you may...

I also got some 4" 14Gauge C purlin and 4" receiver channel that was definitely Hechen in Mehico but thinking the sheet was domestic.

Hell............it's tough to weld that thin stuff with stick. It's a prime candidate for flux core wire. Or MIG.

"Yesterday afternoon, I taught myself to MIG weld Aluminum" is gonna draw some ire.............especially if the stuff yer doin' isn't pristine. ...

Looks great N2 :) Good idea on the space in the doors;) then just tack a lath or some rope across about mid-can height and you'll have every...

I had the same issue on a 1e. Check the weld power switches. If they are functional test the diodes on the circuit board. I replaced a couple bad...

Air isn't the best for heat transfer, but it certainly should help. If you find you need even more cooling, then add a vortex air cooler to the...

In a nutshell, yes. You're limited to roughly 90-100A on a 120V/20A breaker when using a decent quality inverter welder, regardless of brand. 105A...

What's air tool oil??

Funny thing is.................all the steel around here comes from Mexico, comes up the inland waterway. ...

You're preachin' to the choir. This is wildfire country. A few seconds, or minutes, and it's gone...........nothing you can do about it. Bad...

Well yea, but it does spin slower because it uses a much larger diameter disk. 7" units are typically, what, 8,500 RPMs? So it makes sense that a...

Just received confirmation! DHL should be here this week! I'm excited! :D

But you're back to a 12 lb grinder that only spins at 6,000 rpm... not much advantage over my 7/9" DeWalt.

Like this... :D
