Sorry man...you could do it with 309 and it would probably be fine, but it's not necessary. 309 was born to join stainless steel and carbon steel. It's more expensive too. Joining 304 to 304 is meaning of life for 308.

When you repaired it before, was it completely broken or just repairing some cracks? In the case of cracking, is it possible you didn't chase the cracks out completely and they continued to propagate?

I have the exact same set up at snoeproe except my stinger is 4'. I wish it was 6' most of the time.

I'm telling you guys, the bars are a rating of how pretty you are...

What process are you using?

The table comes as a kit from certiflat tables. That's the biggest they can ship without having to pay freight. I would not buy it again though, I'd go up a size or two and just cry about the high shipping cost. Pretty easy to put together but also pretty easy to not get flat. I went over kill on the...

Open the machine and look at the solenoid. Check the hose back to the flowmeter too.

If you opened a repair shop, surely you would take on work other than repairing pontoon boats. A guy that wants to work can be as busy as he wants to be with repairs.

Since the add picture function seems to work better these days, thought I'd toss up a picture (I actually took one!) of a real common job for me...

4130 wheelie bars brought in by a customer. Seems like guys around here like to do as much as they can on their cars, then get it to the right...

Put that plasma torch on a reel. Mine has the stock short one, something like 15'. Thankfully my plasma is super light, so moving it is easy, but it's duty cycle is low and slows me down. That'll probably be my next big upgrade, a man-size plasma cutter.

That's back from when cars wanted to be cars instead of WiFi interfacing bluetoothing music downloading confuser driven boxes of senseless modules. What was wrong with switches? They worked. Everything has to be controlled by a module....dadnabbit.

Excellent. Thank you. 100amp is exactly what I need.

[ryanjones2150]

I need one of those sockets and plugs. By chance do you know the amperage rating and part numbers?

Nothing wrong with being safe, but in this case, I say you're good to go.

Phosgene gas is something those in my line of work consider as part of an IDLH environment, since it's a byproduct of combustion from many household items. But a house fire is a tad more intense than a six inch long...

I use brake cleaner all the time. It's my favorite libation in fact. I use it to clean the oil and cutting fluid off metal after I drill, for example. I use acetone to clean the brake cleaner off before welding. I think the suggestion to clean the residue off with dish soap was pretty solid. If you...

[ryanjones2150]

Fancy.

The gun wires would be the first thing I checked too. I had my old mm250 doing something similar a while back. I cracked open the gun and remade all the wire connections inside and haven't had the problem since.

That's closer to a Cadillac than a cart....

The big socket on the bottom right, is that mains power in?

Try a sharp point on your tungsten. See if that gets you closer to what you need.
