what about welders

[teazer]

I use an oxy set but for anything critical, I tack it up and get it welded by a certified welder.

Finally picked up an argon bottle this week for the Eastwood TIG 200 that has been gathering dust for weeks. Now I need to learn how to use it.

It's funny seeing people posting like they know anything about welding.
oxy/fuel is for winners Teazer

.I just got 10 of them for my lab

Something tells me this fellow actually does know...

I'm a welding instructor. Lol but that really doesn't make my opinion more valid than the next guys, I just personally thing for the novice, a 110 mig is the best starting point. But I really did just get 10 and they are great.

This pic ticks off the Lincoln/miller feud guys.

That right there is a thing of beauty!

Tuna and Tim those are both pretty nice welds!
I think I'm just a tig guy, it took me years of practice to get decent with the MIG, bit I picked up the tig and within a few hours I can put down a nice weld (unless I can't get the fucking torch in the hole, I still can't figure out how people get beautiful welds all the way around when the damn torch won't fit)

Beauty until you spend 8 hours a day in one of those booths making the same part for a year... But you do learn to weld blind 360's rolling shit with a knee or free hand to make rate

Sonic, extend the tip further out from the cup and turn up the argon or get a gas lens OR get a variety of sized cups and lengths. And there also different torch heads you can get that are stubby and flexible

 

[Tune-A-Fish]

Yep or just like Kamn says "extend the tungsten" and you can use a purge line to flood the gas into the weld, not the most cost effective but like on a bunch of compound mitered tube intersecting it sure works nice. my hand is not so steady anymore so I would likely need quiver of sharps handy ;D

Thanks all!
I finally bought a Lincoln Electric Pak 180.
I guess it will be enough for what I want to do.

Thank again.
