    Product Canadian VFD Supplier

    They are all made in China, no matter what they claim, and Vevor is one of the cheapest and easiest to set up. Sort of like autodark helmets, tear down a Miller and see the printed circuit board numbers and mfg, and then tear down a Princess auto helmet...oops same components but 10% of the...

    Shake my head sometimes

    I found out the hard way that when a postal employee "inspects" your package and wants it, all they have to do is pay the Duty (tariff) and GST, and it is theirs. The union protects them and the post office refuses to release the card holders name.

    Miller 180 Autoset

    I've been "researching" on yootube, and it seems that I may have the wrong size liner. Never even knew there were different sizes, so will talk to my welding supplier about it.

    Miller 180 Autoset

    My drive is 100% metal, not like the 100% plastic one on the Lincoln. If you set it real loose, once it burns in to the tip, you have to unscrew the tip and feed out the wire and hope you can get it out of the tip. I want to stop the burnback, so running without the autoset is the answer.

    Adapting a boring head

    I do believe my adapters are threaded in Imperial as the drawbar is. My driving dogs are offset. The adapters look like the one on the right in your picture. Lagun is marketed in North America out of the USA, and as such may have some changes for the non metric crowd. I do like the 40 taper as...
