The truck is already designed to be bolted on. You would be better served by welding studs to the steel, and then using nuts to secure the truck to the studs. But for $100 budget, find a weldor to do it for you, or buy a drill.

I know we've certainly benefited from your experience here.

A 30A breaker will not trip when you hit 30A. It's a time-delay based on time AND amperage. The more amperage you go over, the shorter the time period it will allow it. What are you planning on welding? You machine is probably not capable of a duty cycle that will trip a 30A breaker even if you...

Since he said he has the correct 30A 4-prong plug, I'm assuming it's a NEMA 14-30 dryer receptacle.

Short answer is that this is done everyday. You can do a LOT of welding from a 30A circuit, even with a non-inverter transformer machine. With your new inverter, you'll probably never tax...

PAC wants clean material for the work lead connection as well as the surface being cut. It does not cut rusty or coated metal nearly as well.

Move to some known clean metal and try your cutter again, to help eliminate possibilities.

[MAC702]

My thoughts exactly. What are you cutting, and how secure is the work lead to it?...

My dad had nothing but problems with the factory fuel pump on his Bobcat 225 in the AZ summers. He finally installed a generic automotive 12-volt pump and that solved everything.

Dude, you haven't even bragged about your credentials as the reason for proving tradesmen wrong about shit they've been doing all their lives. What good are you?...

I want the story of how you earned those last 4 bars.

[MAC702]

The best stories are often disjointed rambles. Cooper's Corner comes to mind.

I carry a 1911 every day. Have several more in the vast collection in the armory. Dirt makes the best (and most quiet) bullet trap when you have room for it!

One thing to keep in mind is that a plasma cutter wants to cut clean material. Rusty material is much easier with a gas torch. It will cut any conductive material, like aluminum and stainless, though, which a gas torch will not. Depends on your priorities, but you'll want both eventually.

I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be a diary entry (24-hr clock)

Ha Ha Ha! You are such a
