Jeff Loffert yeah I had that happen before and found out that it has a shelf life. Even if it is still sealed up it can go bad. I found out the hard way and had to contact Lincoln and run the date code to find out when it was manufactured.

Glad you are having good success! Keep me posted.

Go make something hot!

We all want Jody to get well soon and for him to focus on his health is the number one priority! Prayers for his health and full recovery!

I’m really happy with it so far and it’s been very helpful to have around the shop!

Thanks for the feedback!

Matt

I think it is a very good investment for me. I think I will buy a portable stand for it soon. Thanks for watching!

We were at a competition on Friday for fabrication team practice and one of the teams had that same setup you are talking about. I liked it and I might have to try one out. It looked really solid!

Thanks for the input!

Good advice! Thanks for sharing.

Sounds good!

Sorry I just saw this. A couple of things here, Push or pull to me is more of a personal thing, as long as like you said the angle is minimal. I do whatever allows me to see it the best for what I am doing. Second- when we were doing some testing for fillet weld breaks for the World Skills the only way to get good root fusion with dual shield was to really drive it in really hard with a high voltage and WFS for the root pass then dial it back down for a really good quality cover pass.

It was really surprising to me to see that but I believe the flux almost blocks the puddle right at the root of the fillet joint. Hope this helps and hopefully next time I can respond faster.

Thanks,

Matt

I think you will like it a lot! One thing to keep in mind is pulse needs to be on clean metal for the best results. Let me know if you need any help when you get started and send some pictures for us to see! 

Thanks for watching, and lets go make something hot!
