Hang away. I am finding it difficult to embed pictures.

I personally think a three second burst during every cycle charge is nothing. My system has zero leaks. I leave my air compressor charged 24-7. I have mine set up on a Vfd that if it ever runs for more than 10 minutes it goes into a stop mode, just in case that silly airline breaks for some...

My TIG welder I has a very similar odd pulse to it. For many years it ran fine with no problems. Or no problems that I noticed. About eight years ago when I put in my RPC I wanted a little extra production, so I installed a ground fault circuit breaker. Every time I went to DC TIG it would...

But if it is a 120 to 240 or 240 to 120 it is worth keeping. If I read right it is a 1 kva reducing to 12-24. Not really useful. But you might get $50.

I keep a lot of my videos private. This means they’re not searchable by the general public. One of my videos (which was just a demonstration video) I believe it is over 130K views. A few others are between 5000- 25,000 that I left in main stream. I’m nonprofit when it comes to YouTube. I do...

Well, not really. This is just what the people wanted. Most of North America’s high school shop classes are disappearing so fast. When I was in high school they closed down the machine shop. Welding, woodworking, automotive and electrical shop. Funding is just not there anymore. And the...

A little bit of both. I am a contractor trades fundamentals educator/teacher that works at a college and university and in high schools, demonstrating many curriculums in many trades. The high school I work at does not currently have any welding. I’ve been given a free budget for consumables at...

Thanks for the video. I missed that one. I just got an email back from one of my suppliers $2518 plus taxes for the ESAB 205.

The guys at Baker put together this video of ESAB 205. When I was in at the welding supply store today,I asked if I could see this 205 model. It is a truly all in one machine. $3000 though. Almost $1000 more than I wanted to spend. Do you ask for permission or beg for forgiveness???

For sure I can use a multi process machine. The waight is the issue. On that point, ESAB does have their new Rebel 205ic, what are your thoughts on it? The price point it is a little steep.

Thanks guys for your responses. I finally found a decent review. I figured I’d share it with you guys. After reading this I am leaning more towards the red then the blue. https://pickwelder.com/compare-top-3-best-mig-welder-210amvp.html

I can say welcome. I put over 30 years in the trades and then retired then I went back to working part time teaching University kids college kids and high school kids. The pay ***** but idol hands are the devils playground.

Most permits are needed/required if it exceeds 24 inches in height at its highest point to ground, attached to any existing building and exceeds 100 ft.² These three simple rules implement dozens of other rules.… Like proper fastening and fasteners, Heights of handrails, stringers, footing...

I do have an ESAB DTA 200 as my primary tig/Arc. But she weighs over 600 pounds. 95% of what I do is tig tool weld.

If you’re not far from retirement and it’s not displacing you too much from family and friends and the upkeep is not going to hurt.... and this is your dream… go for it. Where I’m from property cost is almost $1-2 million per acre. Sometimes a 1/8 acre with a house on it will be bulldozed...
