Look for something lightweight , easy to find replacement clear lens, and dual use for grinding and welding.

I’d recommend the huntman 490p, for about 80 bucks, you probably already got your heart set for a fancy shiny hood. So stick to light weight.

Good luck.

Drilling through these Stainless Steel fittings was a breeze with this drill press. 5/16 drill thru 1/4 stainless steel compression fittings.

Fun little project, piping for Instrumentation air measurements. 8 pipe , 150 lb mating flange welded with 316/316L -16 1/8 rod smaw . 110 amps DC + 3 pass. Never really ran stainless stick, but I always heard the the slag has a tendency to pop off at you, the funny thing is the slag keeps popping even after you clean the weld, kind like jumping beans. Was able to find a small box rod on the store shelf for about 115 bucks.

A month ago I took on this trailer , making some small odd repairs, including removing that battery, and relocate in side the newly mounted tool box. The real challenge was replacing the hydraulic pump , hose and fittings to match up with the original hydraulic ram. Then figuring out how to wire in the switch for a single action hydraulic line ( manufacturer had it set for dual action)
Finding the right fluid wasn’t to difficult, and with support of a local hydraulic parts supplier it only took a couple of trips. lol
Ill show the hydraulics in action on the next video.

Hi Jody , I started going my through my storage and found a ton of left over filler metel from old jobs that were completed, it's a lot of filler metal. It consists of stainless and carbon , e70, 308, 309, 316, and for some reason there alot is 1/16 . Is there any drills you may be recomend so I can get some good practice hood time. All I can think off is practice feeding rod , but I'd like to get the most out of it.

Thanks in advance

Thank you Jody. BTW I used plasma off a mobil rig ONCE, bought a reg, used it off a single tall bottle of nitrogen, it's sucks it up pretty fast. But gets the job done. Wanna make sure there no leak$ in the fittings. Like you say "quick and dirty" . Also it can be handy to have a bottle of nitrogen for blowing stuff out.

Mobil Fire extinguisher refill guys use nitrogen to recharge several extinguishers on site.
