I have a linde hda200, when I hit the foot pedal to tig, no gas, the only way I can get a flow of gas is to mess with the post purge on the timer and set it to run all the time and use my on/off on my torch.. anyone else ever had this problem? the foot pedal is an old arctron.

yes, makes sense, I have bumped it a few times with my knee. im going to make me a cart to fit my 2 migs and the plasma soon. solve that problem!

I as well keep a grill cover over my welder/plasma cutter. im just running out of room here and well I suppose I just need a little boot in the *** to help me quit hording all of it. lol

thank you very much Zkling! this is atleast twice now that you have helped me. I appreciate that!

hey guys, I haven't been on here in awhile. been working on my shop and trying to get the machines I want to keep in and sell the rest. anyhow, I ran into a miller m-25 gun with 12ft of lead for basically free. just missing the trigger and the consumables. would it fit my millermatic 185? would...

I understand. I am like you, I don't care for that kind of stuff either but this is a 50lb roll. I just hated to scrap it but I suppose its not worth messing with, thanks for the help guys.

ok wonderful, I hated to waste it and yea I don't have much patience either, but looks likes its in the original Praxair box and was UPS'd to their shop, that explains it, I have had bad luck with UPS, I bought a grinder off ebay with a 300.00 diamond wheel on it for 60.00. I herd UPS man drop...

I got this box from a local welding shop going under, for free I might add. actually 3 truckloads of stuff. anyways, I opened it and :willy_nil I find a brand new spool of wire, clean wire, very nice wire, a full roll of .35 wire that I can use, but someone dropped the spool I guess and its...

thank you for your input guys!

great idea, yea im not building a nasa rocket here guys! I do believe you guys are right though, im going to say brazing rods here. I do have a hell of a tig welder, but still haven't got a argon tank yet, so I do have a lot to learn on the tig welding,

yea they aren't stamped at all. not like the brazing rods I have. ok, well that's what I wanted to know if they aren't worth keeping, they just aren't worth keeping! I appreciate it guys

here are a couple more pictures.

yes most of them, the rust is light, I have put aside the bad ones. I don't see anything on any of them as far as markings? I know the damage is done now, but using scotchbrite or similar is about all I can do now right? there are all different kinds mixed together.

Hey fellas, my buddy scrapped a lot, I mean 80.00 in scrap! of these filler rods, they are all different sizes and types. he gave me a bunch of them, but they have some surface rust on them, is it worth keeping them and before using take some steel wool to them? they where free. :dunno:

hey Dugan, read this! http://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=97009 I bought the same mill with the same problems. these must be top heavy, don't do anything crazy yet, read my thread first, I didn't think I could straighten mine, the guys helped me through the whole thing...
