This plow started as all flat plate 3/16 thick. I marked out lines and used a cutting disc to cut almost all the way through, then bent the plate over and welded it back up to make the blade. All of...
Ray,I learned a neat trick from an old pro(my welding instructor at school). If you take the tungsten and chuck it in a drill(variable speed) and run it slow rpm while sharpening, you get that nice...
Thanks Mark. It was the gear wheel on the potentiometer slipping so I adjusted it and tightened the set screws. I also noticed that the nut that holds the pot switch was loose also so that is fixed...
I have used my foot pedal before with no problems but the other night it started sticking at 160 and it wont return to zero anymore. When i plug it in it sits at 160, when you depress the pedal it...

Yup,the tig is excellent. Smooth start,I forgot its not hf and was waiting for the buzz and blew a hole through the stainless strip (oops). I said I could weld,I never claimed to be perfect(it would...
I drove from Oshawa to Burlington(not fun) to pick up a new 520 package. Upon arriving, I was informed that it was now the superultra 205,and that there are some drastic(in a good way) changes to the...
Are you welding the pipes butted together or is one pipe expanded to fit over the other ? For the butt weld i would recommend the 3/32 rod and as low an amperage as you can and still get good...
