    Not too sure the exact number but just get a pretty coarse one and be careful. It is pretty hard to gouge a surface with a flap wheel unless you're retarded :laugh:

    Welcome!

    I'm no Tig welder :( But I do know you want Gold. Rainbow is not bad but if you start seeing other colors you are either moving to fast, going to far, or need a bigger cup on your tip IIRC.

    How come there isn't the same heat (bluing) penetration around the whole weld? Sure looks good though.

    Half inch tempered glass and you've got a nice industrial coffee table :eek:

    What happened to the other one you made? Or did you get a new torch?

    Looking good Jerry!

    He's upgrading to 4x4 from his 2x4 so he needed to build the larger table

    ^ This I ordered a 4" gantry and it would of been a pain in the ass to make my current table wide enough so it's getting chopped up into a welding table :D

    And i built the new one much lower so it's easier to load sheets and grab parts from the middle.
