Steel Rack Extension

[Don52]

I have a couple of heavy-duty racks that I use to store steel. One of the racks sticks through a hole in the wall which limits the maximum height of the rack. I decided to cut off the unusable top of the rack and use it to extend the height of a second rack, located in my addition, where there is more...

I've done a little oxy/A brazing over the years on sheet metal lap joints, cast iron (worked surprisingly), other projects, but would not trust it on butt welds (seems like it would be impossible to pull off) or anything structural. I'm seeing more and more automotive manufacturers recommending MIG...

I'm looking to replace the (probably original) ground clamp on my Millermatic 185. I thought about swapping the T-style clamp off of one of my other welders, but it just clamps down on bare cable rather than a lug like the Miller has on the end. I could cut it, but....

What recommendations...

I'm trying to install a new liner in my Millermatic 185. No problem running it through the casing, but when I get to the gun, It's getting stopped at what I'm guessing is the head tube.

My friend and customer Mark owns a home on Lake Saint Claire here in Michigan. Recently the water level of the lake has been very high. The problem is that his boat hoist can’t lift the carriage that holds the boat high enough to get the carriage out of the waves. This causes the waves to beat the...

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know if there are any safety concerns with using a lightweight hose with torch-side "A" fittings with a torch with "B" fittings? Specifically, I'm looking to maybe use my Smith WH100 torch with the Smith kevlar hose for oxy-acetylene brazing...

I was having stuttering problems on weld starts with my MM 251, so I called Miller and they recommended I remove the wire I inked yellow in the picture, a number 7 wire on my machine, but it could be different on other MM251 machines, call miller and give them your machines serial number to make sure...
