A non combustible (explosive) and usually non corrosive gas like Carbon Dioxide or Argon or a mix like C25 ( 25 % CO2 75% Argon).. There Are other gasses more exotic but these are the "common" ones...

I found the those nice bright green welding jackets reflect light up under hood and was causing me issues in trying to actually see what I was doing because of reflected glare off inside helmet.... Exchanged green jacket for a BLACK one and it cut all the reflected light problems for me....

One note and it doesn't apply to shade, but if helmet has solar cells for charging battery, let it have some sunlight (often) I killed a helmet by keeping covered to keep it clean and it killed battery.... New lens assembly has replaceable batteries and low battery indicator ... And a test button.......Leave a comment:

Decent 140 amp MIG run in range of $450-$500 new (Hobart Ahndler 140) ... I would say go for it if its made by mill for MAC Tools I woule bet if the is a problem its easy repairable.... IF you have problem with splatter use shield gas and solid wire....
Need a site to help build skills.......Leave a comment:

That setup in your picture is what I was going to suggest...

Did you go through troubleshooting procedures in manual?
Does gas valve kick in (with clunk) when trigger pulled...
On some new units there has been issue with loose wire on back of voltage selector switch...

Most setups I have seen for 2x4 seem to use cut lengths of channel iron and you have to trim the 2x4 to fit improvises pocket... Think I would do extensive search for pockets that fit you materials you intend to use as stakes.... Something like image below makes sense to me... There is nothing worse...Leave a comment:

Prelude or test posting for SPAM, maybe?

Simple answer is yes.... BUT it requires stainless wire and maybe a tri mix of gasses, normally used C25 may not shield correctly and you welds may not have good penetration and look a little bubble gumish... Trimix shield gas includes helium, argon and CO2.

Shop around, I found in my area a $100 difference in buying 125 cu-ft cylinder between Praxair vs Airgas.... Fill (C25) was also cheaper... Praxair get my business ....

Cabinet looks very Lincolish ... May be manufactured for M.W. by Lincoln... Maybe Lincoln tech services might have history/documents...Leave a comment:

Don't buy on ebay, buy from certifiable welding equipment dealer.... e-bay is not necessarily most accurate or best priced place to buy...
