Hey,

I just wanted to add to what I posted earlier. Zinc is actually good for you to consume at extremily low levels. It however is very nasty stuff to breathe in as a vapor and particulate. ...

This is cool stuff to me. Ive long thought about a tig process that automatically feeds the wire. Ive seen that tig tip also. My realy thought about this was actually printing up parts. If you...

I was very proud of my endeavor here. I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to figure out how to weld this stuff together. As its proprietary, I wont give the trade secret on it. I will however say...

1468So anybody got some easy rules for following the size of the cup? Does it matter if I have an oversized cup on? I bought this half inch cup and so far I like it. I had intended to use it for...
