There are two versions of flashback arrestors, one set fits torch handle only, one set fits regulators only, flow direction arrow on arrester has to point towards torch body that is how its determined where they mount...

Know someone with lathe?... Make sleeve for gun with smaller diameter for back end if you can not get part, or have one made, its not a real complex piece....

The problem with galvanize is if it goes about 800° f. ( I think) it BURNS, its mostly the smoke and fumes from the burn process that is extremely toxic, so any heat process (weld) that burns the zink is the danger, does not matter if TIG/MIG/Stick/Oxy-Acet it is all the basis for the problem (burn)......Leave a comment:

This should be your manual... Wiring should be on page 27..

I always try to avoid galvanized metals because of health issues (metal fume fever) and not having a hood with filtered (protected) air source and by welding galvanized metals you destroy the integrity of the galvanize and open "project" to potential rust if some protection to weld are...Leave a comment:

I don't think I would be comfortable when used for food preparation just looking at outside condition, no matter what was in them or how you cleaned them...

I really don't consider that a weld.... Specially if ones health depends on it, I would never even consider putting on the stilt with work like that done on it..... If that is best a welder and machine can do with aluminum through 10 ft whip and you are trying to prove a point you fail miserably.......Last edited by Dale M.; 01-08-2019, 10:31 PM.Leave a comment:

Many welding supply sites online can supply parts, easiest way to find is use Hobart or Miller in search string along with part number, such as "Hobart 123-456" (or without the dash) or "Miller 123-456" or something close.... Many of the parts used in Hobart machines are also used...Leave a comment:

Hang loose and wait till new inverter machines come out....Some of the stick machines have already hit marker, hopefully MIG will follow soon....

I would be very careful on any YOUTUBE videos you use to strengthen you arguments.... There is so much so wrong on youtube, unless you have your BS filter at highest setting anyone who has about 10 seconds of success, and has managed to shoot video, and upload it is an instant expert.....NOT...

I know you referenced stick welders, but think about MIG....
Basically if you don't have 240v available in shop I would go with top end Hobart Handler 140 (just under $500) .... It is pretty much the max for 120v outlet and can do up to 3/16 thick steel with ease and 1/4 inch with really...Last edited by Dale M.; 01-03-2019, 08:23 PM.Leave a comment:

Check out cord on welder in may have its wire gauge imprinted on it... Something like 10 or 12 gauge..... You can make a extension cord by getting plug that fits your 240v wall receptical and a receptical for end of cord (6-50R ?) that welder will plug into... If you need to go with extension I would...Last edited by Dale M.; 01-01-2019, 07:43 PM.Leave a comment:

Aaaaahhh.... Your reference to #20 (in another thread) in respond to "old guy" (and reading whole thread) on Jan 1, has bought me to better understanding of how voltage, current, wire speed, and thingamabobs all work together to "heat/melt" the wire and cause fusion in the joint,... -
You going to push aluminum wire through 10 feet of gun lead?
And my comment was NOT that it could not do aluminum, my comment was it does not have spool gun provision.... And almost all low end MIG machines recommend spool guns for aluminum...

Umm...... Parts manual for 210MPV only shows .030-.035 roller for that machine..
However this may work, seems to be new "universal" roller...

No... It has no provision for spool gun.... You will probably have to go up to one of the 240V machines to get spool gun capable and power enough to do the welds...
