My old roll of kester finally ran out and started using that MGchemicals no clean. It seems to be pretty good. I got the lead but don’t solder that much. For welding helmets, I have a Miller titanium that was pretty good. It came with the power air filter belt pack and I think the fan was a bit...

@PeterT I’ve head the theory about getting impurities in the tungsten from grinding but never heard of a weld failure from impurities on the tungsten. It’s definitely hard on the wheels. A few years back I was fortunate to work with a welding engineer developing weld procedures. Most involved...

@Chris Cramer yeah, these are just for storing sharpened pieces. As far as sharpening tungsten.... there’s no right or wrong way to sharpen your tungsten. End of story. I’ve been tig welding for longer than I haven’t been tig welding and have seen just about everything. One of the best...

I’ll try my best to respond to everyone. And thanks for your suggestions. What led me to the forum was googling info on the power lever on the apron and the switch mentioned by @John Conroy. Ended up finding @PeterT ’s thread on that switch repair. My issue there was much more simple. The set...

Had a better look at the panel last night and came to terms with the fact I can’t do this where the machine is sitting. Can barely get a picture let alone get a screw driver and a hand in there at the same time. Hopefully picking up a pallet jack this weekend. Here’s a couple more pictures of...

@Susquatch its a table. Made a couple mini saw horses for supporting longer pieces as well. I’m really surprised with this saw and how tight it runs the blade.... helps big time with making straight cuts

I can’t say enough good things about the Milwaukee portaband. Best $300-350 saw you can buy. Just my opinion. 3 pack of blades for under $20. It walks through everything... Was cutting 1-1/2” titanium bar in under a minute with a fresh blade. Had a bench top “chop” style previously and it never...

Holy smokes what are you guys building? That’s some serious welding equipment. At work we run Miller only and the machines are on wheels but they’re terrible to move. The machine, 2 bottles, dual spool, and 200’ of cable is way to much. At home my machine is stationary and have enough reach to...

Thanks @dfloen going to try a couple local places in the AM before ordering anything. There has to be one on a shelf near by.... just have to find it.

Thanks @Tom Kitta if I can find one that has the same specs I’ll give it a try.
