Anything welding

Well, just need to wait the 2-3 weeks now.

Ordered my cnc plasma table.

 

That's exciting. Which one did you order? If you end up using Fusion and run in to issues let me know. I use it almost every day.

 

Anyone using an air filter/purifier? I’m needing something small for an engraver, like this:

Langmuir Crossfire



And for sure!

 

Living Rooms are over rated time to expand the shop!!

 

I always used the Ace fume extractors if your looking for portable.

I know you could different type filters it has been a few years now.

 

Need that for the family tho

 

I been eying the Langmuir system. Just got this in the email but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Gonna wait it out for a bit longer



in case you can make use of the deal

 

Appreciate that! But not gonna bother.

I sold a lower receiver which covered most of my cost; that receiver I owned for nearly a decade in which I paid 4 times less than what I sold it for

 

Shittily welded up some aluminum scrap I had laying around to make a leaf blower holder. I always just put it in random spots now it had a designated one lol.

 

Quoting myself to add the cost of a 75cf tank exchange for 75/25.

$31 + $5.95 so a total of only $37.

One tank was nice, two tanks meant having a full back up, three tanks now means I get to take one with me if I need to weld away from home.

 

Gas shielded flux core users, what do you recommend in 1lb or 2lb spools?

Have a small welder I want to dedicate to run gas shielded flux at .035, and aside from Blue Demon (hit or miss) all I see are no-name brand spools.

 

Lowes has these on sale for $14 and change. They were priced at $20 and rang up cheaper, FYI

 

Is the welder so small only the small spools will fit?

So your stuck with those tiny ones.

Those small spools work great in spool guns .

They are really poor at feeding through regular guns.

I have had good luck with Hobart or Lincoln wire what brand you get the best price per case .

i have only ever used it in spool guns.

 

Got up to make coffee, watch World Cup and start making shit in the shop and the power went out before I could grind beans. Argh. Ahhh, PG&E.

 

the only question i have is "Does it make the Noise?!?"

It actually fits a 10lb spool; was going to fix my post to say 5lb as well.

I can't seem to find many options for dual shield .035 that ain't 11lbs.

 

I use the Lincoln .035 from home Depot as My day to day wire and I like it. My bunn trail welder is just a spool gun with a 2lb spool of no name stuff from HF and it burned fine the few beads I ran with it.

 

Ah, I'll check that out either today or tomorrow.

Thought they only carried gasless flux and solid.

 

Thinking about this I have never seen Dual Shield wire in small spools.

When I read your first post the coffee had not kicked in yet.

I ran lots of Airco Verticore back in the day.

if your looking for dual shield on small spools you might need to wind your own!!
