Anything welding

what causes the black residue (looks like carbon) on a stainless stell mig weld? Using tri mix gas.

 

Looks good. One question tho. Do you embed the feet in concrete or something? It looks really unstable otherwise.

 

Could be CO2 in the gas?

 

Thats a good point.A service rep once told us that if we use the same gage for argon/co2 and the trimix then we should bleed the line gas for a while..we don't do that though

 

How bad did that hurt when you came down? (Sig Pic)

 

Sets in the soil 2''

 

Ah! Nice. Thank you.

 

Little off topic but Im wondering where everybody gets their tube in the bay area.

 

Depends where you are but there's Sims Metal in San Jose or Tube Service in Milpitas.

 

Tube Service is where I get mine they have great prices and deliver for $20.00 bucks to anywhere in the bay.

 

Hey everyone I'm a senior in high school and one of our final project is to get information on the career we want to go into. My career choice is welding/Fab, so if there is anyone on here that would be willing to let me interview them via email or PM on here I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Cameron Shade.

 

Got's me a new toy

 

Cool! I picked up a 211 today.

 

I'm way

 

I have a 211 too it's a awesome welder i just weld too long and hit the duty cycle WAY too much so I picked up the 252. And let me tell you it's so much better when you can fine tune the voltage and wire speed like you can on the 252 and 350.

 

Nice Jerry!

 

252 is a nice welder! Only Miller id buy is the 252, or predesessor 251. Well unless I could afford a 350p.

 

You know I was going to buy the 350p then I talked to a few guys that have them and they all said they wished they would of just got the 252. The 350p is great if your doing aluminum production like boats but for my kind of work the 252 is more then enough and with the 252 being so much cheaper then the 350p I could afford the Aluma pro push pull gun

 

Anyone use the Miller app? Found it by accident the other day. Gives you settings for material. Kinda handy and it's free. Works for iphone and android.
