Anything welding

The point was that many factories are closed. If the welder was not already in the states, there could be a delay on delivery.

On the plus side, your card is really not charged until the item is delivered.

 

He’s probably referring to it being stuck on a ship or in China where it’s manufactured

 

Exactly.

 

You beat me to it

 

It was meant to mean if it was out of China.

We have been advised parts from China might be delayed .

 

Shame on you James!

 

The one kid who got caught was expeled

 

Glued this together for my buddy who owns the powdercoat place so he can move his trailer with his tractor.

 

Photographer buddy got a bunch of pics from me welding the tabs onto his truck but I thought I’d just share one of my favorite. I need a post lift.

 

Yes you do. It's a game changer!

Mine was $2200 delivered. They are getting so reasonable in price now.

 

First step for me is having somewhere to put one! Maybe our next house in a couple years

 

That looks like the Gorilla Glue for Steel!!

 

I have a 225 amp TIG, 60 amp plasma cutter, and a 150 amp MIG. I am paranoid about sparks in my garage, so I try to do all welding/cutting outside, weather permitting.

I made two extension cords I run on 30amp circuits. Put in two outlets for convenience. Never had any issues.



I had the 150 amp MIG first and had made a 10 gauge stranded 20" cord. Used it for both that and the plasma after I bought it. Kind of a hassle switching back and forth, but I am not making a living with these tools, so....

Then, when I bought the 225 amp TIG, I made the second cord, also 20', but used 8 gauge stranded.

I know the cords on the machines are smaller than these extension cords, but I figure I am not loosing any appreciable amperage in the delivery circuit, so it was worth the little extra in cost. Plus the stranded is a breeze to coil and doesn't fight me at all no matter where I take my machines.

 

5/8 weld with .045 FCAW. Wanted to see how close I could get to a perfect weld size and that shit was on the moneyyyy. It’s harder than people realize to do big fillet welds evenly.

 

Psh, I don’t see any dimes. Not a real weld.





(kidding don’t hurt me)

 

That's the main reason I change all my welder power cords as well. Those wedding prick stiff cords can't be replaced fast enough!

 

thank you for this, I've got stuff ordered from bakers gas on the way as well. I've had a busy night getting this thing partially built.

 

Not gonna lie, when I see these pics of people welding I always wish someone would take one of me. Just to have. One of my favorite pictures of my father is A candid one of him wrenching on a car circa 1980. Just a daily pic of his life at the time. I keep it in my toolbox as a reminder to “work hard and stay humble”.

 

Looking forward to this becoming operational.
