1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Honestly its a good way of describing it. Trees down everywhere, powerlines across roads, roads shut down from flooding, water 8 feet high where its normally 6 inches high, confused cops/fireman running about. Then came the army of lineman from out of state to liberate us. Most of their trucks had Ohio tags, as all of our local guys were sent to Florida not thinking we would get it bad back home.

It was a great time to be a redneck with a Stihl chainsaw though.

 

Big one over the door.

 

@BartMaster1234
So if that's the case, I beg for your forgiveness
If not, all the above lol

 

I offered him safety glasses when he was cutting my U-Bolts, but he declined and engaged his safety squints.

 

Dont screw with those if your not trained too. That's a lot of angry contained engery looking to put a world of fuck on someone...

 

Im unkillable

 

Safety squint..works for welding too

 

No need. You're the most stable, non trouble making one in here. Haha.

 

Oh you guys crack me up

 

R.I.P. Retinas

 

You seen my safety skills in person lmao

 

Na, just quick tack welds..

 

I need a new regulator for my Miller, the one I bought for it isn't cooperating.

You laugh. Wait till a cutting wheel gets sent into your flesh. It happens to everyone that uses them eventually. Thankfully the only time it happened to me, it got stopped by my jeans. Big bruise, couldve been a lot worse if it went a few more inches higher.

I would post pics to encourage you to wear safety gear, but I know some here are squeamish.

 

The flowmeter I got from Htp is pretty sweet for the price. Probably one of the only things Id buy from them again. I imagine their regulators are good to go too.

 

I have no idea what's wrong with mine, it'll only display the flow rate when you hit the trigger. And the needle valve does nothing.

I'm running an HTP gun, good stuff. Has the flexible nozzle.

 

Does gas come out? If it does I wouldnt worry about it.

 

About half the time. I hit the trigger and I can hear the gas once, after that no gas comes out.

It's a lot different than my Lincoln, the Lincoln has an actual mechanical linkage to the regulator and gas came out whether the machine was on or off. My Miller appears to use an electric solenoid or something.

 

Yeah millers have to be on for gas to come out. A lot of the cheap welders will spit gas when they're off.
