Anything welding

Yeah i was in the one off loosee a few weeks ago getting wire. I know they had some rebates on miller going

 

If this COVID-19 thing ever decides to calm down I'd definitely like to go and talk to them and buy through them instead of just ordering everything off of Amazon. We'll see...

 

Yeah I’ll buy my wire and gloves and some other stuff from them. Machines normally get you a free helmet. And I get most my consumables from them as well.

 

More sliders

 

Improvement?

 

Compared to?

 

Does it bother you that you have to paint it? If yes, you answered your question.

 

Yes. And Im not going to grind it.. if that says anything

 

Looking good David.

 

Definitely looks better

 

Well due to the China Virus I was just told we are closed to things pick up again.

Due to the fact no one has paid any invoices in the last 2 weeks So good for the cash flow.

 

Dang that sucks.

 

I finally got around to changing the ground clamp. Spring got weak.

 

Good shape yet just getting broken in.

Sadly I see far to many in that shape

 

I gotta ask for those who don't do this full time.... how does that even happen? Having the ground clamp too close to what you are putting the weld bead down on? IE table, frame, etc. Like I know you always want the ground clamp as close to the weld as possible but damn...

 

That one stays at the welding table 99% of the time. If I clamp it to a part and can’t get a ground I’ll hit the clamp with the wire and get it hot then hit the part, most of the time it helps. Other times it’s the trigger got hit and the wire is too far out and I just burn it off on the clamp. This clamp has years of abuse on it.

 

I gotta say, mine do not look that bad. How does that even happen!

 

I use my clamps to burn off extra wire as well, but I don't have an issue with burning holes in my clamp.

Just, wow!

 

Most of the holes are from where I been having trouble with the tip and get frustrated then change the tip and hold it to the clamp to make sure the wire isn’t binding up anymore
