    This seems to be a trend. I think the last time I was at the Centre Block site, they'd implemented a 'gloves all the time' policy.

    I picked up a full face respirator five or six years back, lightly used. Four Irish guys living in a basement, had all been working polishing stone cladding, all quit and sold their gear. Even with a full beard, I find I get a decent seal for nuisance dust. It looks like it’s sorted for now...

    Machine Miller 200 dx

    If it’s the foot pedal that’s the issue, you should be able to bypass it. Looks like setting Output to ‘On’ will give you Lift Arc/scratch start Tig.
