    I’m not sure, I know we have to have it with ours but it’s not very big so I don’t even try to weld aluminum with it.

    Have you ever used ChemSharp to point and clean your Tungsten?

    You don`t do much Tig Do you have a dedicated wheel for cleaning them up?

    I don't do much TIG at all, I just use the side of the grinding wheel to get them sharp.

    We've had that one for a long time, it's okay for what it is. Doesn't like anything over 1/4".

    We’ve had one of these for a while, only one of our welders really use it, the rest use the dedicated tungsten grinder.

    Next step for the pool is cutting holes for the pump lines and installing the valves, and running an outlet to the back of the house

    I’ve got an above ground pool I’m going to be setting up soon. I bought it on clearance at Target at the end of summer in 2019 for $150, if I were smart I’d sell it for $700 now that they’re impossible to find! The pandemic sure made that market hard to top!

    We bought this tank from Tractor Supply, had to have it shipped to the store from another location. She wanted to do this last year, but tanks and pumps were no where to be found.

    One guy took the day off, one got his shot yesterday and called in sick today and the last one just left early.
