Yepper, you're showing why my little 130 amp craftsman (Lincoln) from the 90's never seemed to overheat when it should have in Northern MN. It...

I just ordered one. Esab has a 65$ mail in rebate on that machine, and a few other machines right now.

I was able to purchase a copy of the manual. Call me lazy or ? but I was hoping someone had already figured out a good non-hobart replacement. At my...

Not yet but will get it done this week and report back

I use and like Arc3 but, up here in NoVa (Springfield or Sterling), they only exchange owned cylinders up to 80 ft^3.

I have an account at Arc3 gases in Fredericksburg. I have a bunch of 200 and 300 cf bottles that are customer owned. I have not had an issue getting...

If you have access to a oxy. acetylene torch I think you would be much happier with the results of using a small welding/brazing tip. More...

Thank you. I like to build them but they are only 13" at the floor. I box them in a little but not too much. I like sitting in them when I'm done...

Cool stand :)

Repair work. Welded inbetween the welds on the frame too. He kinda had me hack it. Didn’t drill the ends out on the cracks and he said were just...
