That 3rd picture is 0.1" galvanized. I cut it flat then bent it up. I have them laser cut now but for proto work it was great!

Last Christmas I picked up a Blade Runner by Rockwell from Lowes. My reasoning was I wanted something with the basic functionality of a band saw but I didn't want it to take up a lot of room. Since...
I have had to re gap before. If you exercise the hf start to much, like when you weld something that you can't get a good torch position, the points move probably from too much heat.
Can that be retrofitted into an older model? I like that much better.
Had to weld up a small steel box. 4 corner welds. I remembered Jody's rule of 3's...30 pulses, 30% background current, and 30% on time. Worked like a charm. I'm glad Jody takes the time to put...
Yeah I was thinking about pulling it apart and giving it a good cleaning. Good thing to keep me out of trouble this weekend.
I have a Century135 mig welder that I have owned for about 12 years now. It served me well but this weekend I had a pretty big job to do assembling some products I sell and welded for about 1.5...
Works like new again.

I thought this was a great idea so I thought I would share
Even the cheap harbor freight tools are forged steel and weld great. I always keep some cheap tools in my draw to make stuff like that.
Here's how I fixed it.

All fixed up again.
So I was told that the behavior I was seeing in the video was the pulse unit being enabled so I took off the covers and here is what I found>8398
This wire, the ground (common pin of the pulse...
I was repairing my neighbors aluminum mailbox post. I was having a lot of trouble keeping the torch in the right position and I think I overheated the HF points. I say this because after a while I...
Finally got some pictures!

Sorry, I never think to take pictures. I'll ask him to snap a few when he gets it back from the powdercoater. I made the repair on the inside then we filed it down to fix the clearance issue. I...
Had a friend with a cast aluminum valve cover who had accidentally ground a hole in it when trying to add some clearance. He had patched the hole with epoxy but now wanted to get them powder coated...
I just use the hose for water cooling. I don't weld enough to justify a water cooler. It's also nice cause as a beginner welder I tend to need to sharpen the tungsten a lot due to contamination and...
I wish there was a more comprehensive instruction manual for these units or even a laminated quick reference guide that explains what every knob does for all three modes cause it seems like every...
I bought some gas lenses for my torch and all I have to say is wow! I had to weld a cap on some mild steel tube today. Did a fusion weld. The arc was very stable and I was able to get 1/2" stick...
I bought two and I use them a lot. Ironically more with the mig than the tig. I love Jody's videos and they have been entertaining and very helpful. I'm happy to support him but in all honesty his...
It's been a year since I adjusted my spark gap and I haven't had any problems since so I gave up on this idea. It should be cooling down soon so I can get back in the garage and start my welding...
I'm toying around with making my own foot pedal because I find the one that came with my PP256 to be awkward. Two things annoy me. First, I can't ever tell when my torch is about to shut off. ...
I'm just outside of Orlando.
Not me. I'm an electrical engineer by trade. We design patient monitors for use in MRI rooms. I think anesthesiologist have a lot more responsibility than I would care for.
