Lets see some welds Doc

Well. That would explain him posting from his local courthouse then.

if you are thinking about moving you don't buy more stuff?

That's a bargain at about $750

If you weld like a 3 year old on acid, a new welder ain't gonna help much.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 9 2014, 09:38 PM

Seriously, dont give acid to 3yo. Its a waste as they are already seeing shit.

I have not had time to get an argon tank nor metal. I did, however, find that my MIG gas was not coming out of the nozzle....welds looking tons better now

Fucking Bullitt is stalking me. If I go missing, start your search with him....

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 9 2014, 10:28 PM

Is this the first time you've had a problem with your gas not coming out of the nozzle? Might want to get that looked at.

Get the biggest argon tank you can. . amazing how fast the gas goes figuring preflow and post flow cooling. . I flow 20 cu ft for good coverage so a 200 cfm tank is only 10 hours welding and always seems to quit in the middle of a job. .

Seriously- doctors make the worst patients...

I clicked on your FB page . You been watching too many Halloween movies.
Click on PMB FB to see Erc's white Fuchs...

A lot of those little welders need their nozzles opened up so the gas can actually do its job.

I jest bought this. Its an Everlast Powerpro 256. Combo stick, plasma, and AC/DC Tig. Still need to plug it in.

Posted by: bulitt Jun 10 2014, 07:05 AM

Nice!

Eastwood has a TIG on sale for 499$

Well, at least he can get a comp at the ER. Note to self - modern running-style shoes explode in a cloud of flaming gas when hit by even very small pieces of molten metal. A grand in bills and a long healing process - BB sized drop right at the sock line.

I had the water on it before he could grab his shoe. Not fast enough when the damage is done. Monthly safety report over and out.

I got the same Everlast about 3 years ago. I think you'll be happy with it, I like it very much.

Do get a large tank. The price to fill a small one and a large one is not much different.
Don't forget to turn off the tank when your not welding. I don't know if they all do it but mine will leak the tank empty if I forget.
I have not used the plasma yet but it is nice to have.
I am liking the hand control, T2, I think. Set the controls and go.
I am no longer coordinated enough to use a veritable foot pedal and weld at the same time.

Posted by: MDG Jun 10 2014, 09:52 AM

I think we'll all be busy that week.

But when we DO start to search, yes - Bullit is our go to.



PS: I like Evil's welding. Always reminds me of Jackson Pollock.

Rick918 also cautioned to cover your skin. He lost a friend to melanoma from welding.
Check your helmet settings prior to starting. You may have to hit the reset button to wake your auto helmet up.

C'mon down Michael! Bring Mark- I need a septic hole dug!

Posted by: MDG Jun 10 2014, 10:34 AM

Mark's been having great success excavating with explosives lately.

We're on our way.

What's wrong with my white Fuchs Biatch?

Wow! You built that car Eric! Awesome!
Can't wait for the build thread...

Posted by: MDG Jun 10 2014, 01:37 PM

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Pollock's drip and splatter paintings . . . but yeah, the fish works too.

Posted by: bandjoey Jun 10 2014, 03:15 PM

With that you should be able to fix anything. Don't you just love welding protection clothing?
