I'm salvaging a pellet grill. It has a few rust areas in the main chamber walls that I planned on mig welding some plate to cover. I ground down to steel for the ground and where to weld, but couldn't get an arc. Continuous sheet of metal on the smoker. I checked it was steel with magnets...

I inherited an older German made Ramset model 340 hammer drill. I've not been able to find a manual or much of anything else about it online. I bought some SDS plus bits and was hoping they would work with it. They slide in perfectly, but do not lock in. I checked out the bore of the chuck...
