Where are you?

[FusionKing]

I believe you need argon to combine with the brake cleaner fumes to create the deadly gas.
Otherwise we would all be seeing more dead mechanics. It's just a google search away.....

This post may hurt your feelings, but.....better now than after the fact. If you are actually from Oklahoma then REAL welding rigs have been circling you your whole life!! Don't talk yourself into believing what you think makes better sense. The oil business knows EXACTLY who and what they need....

Your wire is a bit small if you are using 4043 to learn on in my opinion.
Go to .047 to begin and figure out what is happening here.
Once you get it all working without mechanical issues then the settings will be easier to establish.
It's been too long since I used my 30-A to remember...

Sure does look promising

[FusionKing]

We had someone who had their AC blowing on their welder and bragged about it.....but I've slept since then

[FusionKing]

So you're saying that collecting coins is where I went wrong?

[FusionKing]

I just looked and figured it would take about 2 hrs. fooling around and then added 25 for good measure on junk like grinding wheels and drill bits or whatever. You're too cheep.
Thanks for the kind words, but I really could use a guy like you here....

BAHAHAHA ...

I wouldn't even mess with it at all on just single phase. Who knows why they stated that phrase in the manual as they did.
I can understand you bumming out because you paid for a machine without checking into it far enough, but beating your head against the wall will only make it worse!! You are...

Got to be one of the best thank you's on the forum...

[FusionKing]

So I'm gonna say $225 ish?

[FusionKing]

I would get on craigslist and scour that.

I have a boat that we have been building for a guy for 3 1/2 years now.
I bothers everyone how long it's taking
But It's right in there with the Singer.

I believe your does dynasty have points. You need to clean them. I do not know if you can effect the intensity by opening the gap on an inverter.
But they won't work as intended if not cleaned.
Hope you find a pedal and a cooler soon, so you can weld like normal
Good idea keeping...

"I know what I have in the end and who to blame for it"
And that, friends, in a nutshell, explains most of the attitude of this forum

And those pics are unreal!!

[FusionKing]

I'm not sure you are getting my point Noel. With all due respect for your experience and obvious abilities. So warning....I use capital letters for emphasis not yelling or belittling.
Welding and holding together is not the bigger problem. The bigger problem is....that you MUST CLEAN the weld...

Now if the car paint quality was to be on the level of the sewing machine paint quality. And we are talking inside and out. Inner fender wells, trunk, under hood and everything. Then the price ain't so bad. Especially when you take into account just how much a show quality paint job increases the value....

Looks like its working. Should be worth moving forward.
Now you need a pedal or hand control. Then you can test the HF start and vary your amps too.
A lot of those older dynasties, (pre Blue Lightning) you had to touch the tungsten to the work, then pull away and hit the pedal. They simply...

I concerned about the crap getting into the engine bearings.
That's all.
