Sterling is for brazing, not welding.

Owner probably assumes "230" is just "normal power."

[MAC702]

As opposed to what? You say it's already on a 240V configuration, right? The "250" on the plug itself is to show that it's rated for "up to 250V" meaning it's intended for 208V and 240V installations. I'm thinking this is probably just a confusion in the terms.

"Draws"...

Is the video linkable so we can see it?

The board is $1825 US and a brand new machine is $2300 US? Dang.

[MAC702]

Man, I hope that's all it needs. I can't get a close enough view in the pic to tell, and don't have that machine to look inside. I'm always worried there's something I CAN'T see that is the real problem and is what took out the components I can see.

I think I remember what article you are referencing. Ed Craig?

Also remember that some of the best salesmen are those that make you think they are anti-salesman.

Gas salesmen are really good at their job....

I've used .023" wire in almost every wirefeeder I've ever owned. I've NEVER installed a different liner. It's run fine in the standard liner in every Hobart and Miller I've used.

Can you link to the threads you were reading so we can all be on the same page?

[MAC702]

Aw, darn. You just removed the magic for me!...

Thank god for teacher unions.

Good point about the chamfer and squareness. I'm also assuming much less chance of joint contamination, too.

You need a pint of my medicinal sarsaparilla. I guarantee it will cure your arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, and boost your testosterone....

Very nice work.

What material is the new cap? Keeps sacrificial anode properties?

Any special reason for lathe parting instead of bandsaw, or just because?
