JODY COLLIER Merry Christmas to you Jody and your family. I was running through posts in the forum and saw something about torch cables and how stiff they can be causing the torch to be kicked at an angle making it hard to hold the torch in the position you want without some force. Another person said you carried torch cables and the proper dinse connections on weldmonger. I have a miller diversion 180 and my torch is kicked to left really hard no matter how I lay the line it's just hard to turn the torch toward the the downward angle. What is your recommendation for a new cable and the connector if needed to make that torch feel supple in my hand. Or is there a way to adjust what I have in order to get a better feel out of the miller setup I paid 3200 buckaroos for. In hindsight I wish I would have known what I know now about the prime weld machines. But that's a topic for another post. I'm determined to learn to be a good welder on the miller 180. Thank you for your advice on the torch setup. I would like to upgrade and have that supple feeling torch angle.

Hey sounds cool man I just joined up as well. I've been trying to keep questions flowing and topics in conversation on this forum because I want to learn to be a Tig welder myself. Glad your here it's a pretty cool site to post pics ask questions and see all of these guys videos. 

So you save them up and use em? I tried to tack some together it melts so fast got a trick for that?

Here's what I think is a good question. What can be done with the filler rod chunks after it gets down so short you can't feed it into the puddle? Brad Goodman

Your whole table top is aluminum?  Man that is a killer idea. I have a steel table probably. But I have a bunch of large aluminum blocks I weld on thanks for sharing about the clips.

Was just looking at that new post on the aluminum cube you commented that pressure can build inside of a sealed aluminum project?  I noticed you have a small bung welded into your box was that last on the list and the box was open with that bung left till the finish so the structure could breath?

Nobody commented on the yellow there is that a normal color for porosity on aluminum?
