Very first weld I've ever made

[craig]

I'm just looking at HF and Northern tools right now, they are both close to me here.
I want to get the one Mark had mentioned but its $80-90.
I've been a electronics tech for 20+ years so the repair was simple, I investigated slightly notching the circuit board and tack the wire in the notch with silicon but decided against that. I'll do what you do and expand the cover if it ever has to come off again.
I see there is extended consumables for the Trafimet torch, does EL sell them? I have a hard time seeing where I'm cutting with the regular shorter consumables.

Thanks
Craig

The bigger filter is a must for all your tools. Here is the quick fix. I still run them with my $$ sep/fiter. But I am in Florida and one compressor runs all. So maybe you do not need it. Consumables will last longer too.

That is a good first weld! That could probably win a contest!
