One of my gauges sports a clear plastic Pringles lid. -
What angle of what joint design of what material are we looking at?Leave a comment:

Sounds good! Certainly worth the attempt!Leave a comment:

You have a voltage issue, and really should have hired an electrician. Asking for help at Home Depot is a sure sign that you needed help AND THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED. In their defense, they can only go off what they are told as they aren't looking at the actual conditions of the project. Hopefully, you...Last edited by MAC702; 09-23-2021, 10:13 AM.Leave a comment:

Tips are already sufficiently oversized for the wire. They are marked for their wire, not their actual size. .023 and .024 and .025 (some Lincoln products) are interchangeable.
Any issues are unrelated to the .023/.024, though it is odd that two different Hobart products use the other...Leave a comment:

The short answer is that, yes, you can weld a steel wheel if you have a hole in it. But it's usually a lot more complicated than that by how the hole was formed, making the repair questionably sound.Leave a comment:

1. Every thread here is asking for help. Put the actual question in the subject line, please.
2. How about quoting the exact language you are reading so we can help with what they mean by it? You could also link to the product you bought, and we'd be able to know exactly what you were...Leave a comment:

It feeds wire down the cable but stops with resistance? How much? How fast can you feed the wire without resistance? Did it work fine before this issue or did you acquire it like this? Does it weld (which should be very low resistance to wire feeding)?Leave a comment:

Yep. Just fill/swap the acetylene and get back with us on current pricing to do so in your area.Leave a comment:

While I would normally add that this depends on where on the planet you are, I've never heard of a requirement that they be replaced in sets, even when leased. You don't mention what sizes you have or what kind of usage you are doing (but cutting would usually use more O2). Do you turn the cylinder...Leave a comment:

Spoolguns and push-pulls aren't mandatory, but they do make it a LOT easier. If you need to weld any significant amount of aluminum they will make it worth their while. It also depends on the alloy of the wire (which depends on the alloys being welded) as to how difficult it will be without the better...Leave a comment:

It's a spring-loaded plunger held in by an electromagnet. If it wears out a little, it can vibrate.Leave a comment:

Presumably, you typo'd that and meant the other side of the switch is labeled 230?
With most machines like this, you change the switch setting and then plug it in to the correct voltage, preferably by changing the plug, or using an adapter cord....Leave a comment:

Especially for mobile work, why have the weight and space of two engine generators? The exception to having a second engine might be on the air compressor.
And speaking of weight, if you go with just a big generator that can run a welding machine, now you're adding the weight of the big...Last edited by MAC702; 08-30-2021, 06:24 PM.Leave a comment:

Then maybe clarify the question, like I asked.Leave a comment:

Does the contactor pull in for welding power and the gas valve open when the trigger is pulled? So everything but wirefeeder works with trigger?
You've previously welded with this machine? Anything at all changed between then and now?Leave a comment:

You're turning the engine on and off? I don't understand. The electrode is always hot when the engine is on. That's normal, and you just keep it away from anything conductive at all times until you strike the arc to weld.Leave a comment:

Don't do anything stupid like take up long-range precision rifle shooting. Now THERE's a time and money pit.Leave a comment:
