All it is is a specialized hammer, that just keep itself on and centered on the post. Make it heavy. -
Ah, there it is. "20A for maximum protection." You don't want maximum protection. You want 30A!Leave a comment:

It says each receptacle has its own circuit breaker, and that it's on 30A wiring, but it doesn't say how big the circuit breakers are. Do you have one? It's a great idea if it doesn't choke itself out of its best reason for existing....Leave a comment:

If there is paperwork attached to the job, just put it in on the receipt/invoice. Describe the job itself specifically as temporary tack welds.Leave a comment:

I think the "compressor cool down" is the torch post-flow. I also don't think you have to wait for it to finish before starting the next cut. Try it and see.
I'm leaning toward the material isn't clean enough for a plasma cutter to be as practical. You may have to go much more...Last edited by MAC702; 06-17-2021, 08:14 AM.Leave a comment:

Well, I didn't mean it necessarily had to be a welder repair shop. I said someone who knows how to safely use a meter inside a live machine and is familiar with tracking power throughout the harness.
Can't even address your question about the reset button without knowing what circuits...Leave a comment:

If lucky, maybe you just fried a controls transformer that powers the circuit board? Someone who knows at least the basics of safely testing components needs to get inside your machine.Leave a comment:

You can measure it directly if you have a clamp ammeter that can read DC current. But most don't have that. It's not going to be an exact measurement anyway, as there are other factors like ambient temperature to also take into account. Basically, estimate it from experience and what percent of your...Leave a comment:

Wow, a 320A service is huge by most homes standards, even with a full shop. You'd enjoy the **** out of that with never another worry. Plan the pool and hot tub while you're at it. As mentioned, a 200A service, with 80-100 to the garage would probably be all you'd ever need in a 1-man shop.Leave a comment:

When did it last work, or was it acquired in this condition?
Is there a more specific model number? They've been making the Ranger 8 for so long they are probably several generations, but I don't know. There will be some guys here that may need to know in order to help.
What...Leave a comment:

I do it every day on copper and brass tubing, but only very occasionally on steel. I find brazing to be easier than standard soldering, and while it needs to be clean, it's not quite as critical as solder. The higher the silver content of the brazing rods, the better it flows. I use 5% daily, but...Leave a comment:

Feel free to provide a lot of information, including the model of the generator.
Have you first tested the machine on utility power? Have you powered other things from the generator? Do you know how to test power equipment safely?Leave a comment:

I'm with Dale. If you want to be a real weldor by trade, then yes, you'd start with gas and stick welding to get the fundamentals and then move to MIG and TIG for production and precision jobs. But if a MIG welder will do all you ever need to do as a hobbiest, then "stick" with the MIG welder...Leave a comment:
