1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ok, what should I be looking at as far as plasma cutters go?

 

@Kwikvette @xtremewlr @Wulf

We need to squad up and get to buzzin on some cod sometime.

 

shhhh unless you wanna drop money for the Hobart AirForce with the built in compressor you're gonna need a good compressor and dryer too

 

I am lost and confused over this

 

I can probably hop on at some point this weekend. Driving 3~ hours each way tomorrow to play on the rocks in the crawler so I'm not so sure about tomorrow evening

 

I thought it was just me

 

Hell yeah mane. Don’t break too much shit. Lol

just tag me when you do because I’m always lurking

 

I've only ever used TIG for stainless steel and I suck ballz at it. For aluminum I just change out the gas bottle and use a spool gun attachment on the MIG welder and weld just fine

 

I'm down, it's been a long time since I played with a good group.

playing with randos can be funny but generally I just ride along while the whole team loses because I'm the only one playing the objective while everyone else pretends its team deathmatch

 

Fucking heard that. I’ve haven’t playing consistently in 6 months cause little dude but I still got a gunny.

I typically just play Search and Destroy due to me being a pub star in that but I’m always game to have some fun with some good people.

 

@Kwikvette when I took the course at the trade school we started with oxy/acet welding to learn puddle control, then went to stick, TIG, and then finally MIG. I think they really wanted us to get puddle control and penetration before we went to mig

 

I like S&D and headquarters. I used to play a ton on the original MW. It's crazy to think that it's been almost 15 years since that game came out and that era started.

 

Tell me about it. The OG of COD.

I just need a reason to drink with the boys tho lol

 

I wish I could answer that, I am still looking for one my self. I need something decent to work on the truck and 4runner but not looking for something industrial grade.

 

I'm digging the HF options right now. I would like one but don't see myself needing it until after I move


my buddy has a couple Hypertherms and they are the shit...but you can expect to PAY

 

We have a super cheap lotus in the shared shop and I've cut up to 1/4 single pass without worrying about my speed. I have no doubt it could do more if someone slowed down.

I've been eyeing this one for a while too...

the thing about the HF one is that a couple years down the road if it takes a shit there is still some form of local support and supply

 

The HF definitely has an advantage with support, especially with the repair plans they offer. The lotos is good for what it is, and I haven't had to fix it much (just a bad switch and a air valve stuck shit once). Consumables are generic and plentiful, but yeah with heavy use I bet it would be a liability

 

didn't realize the consumables were universal. That is a win
