Open invitation for payback

Hi Gang,Thanks for the encouagement for what I want do try and do.My goals are not so much to teach someone how to weld,that's the easy part.I figure about 15% knowledge and 150% practice with what ever machine they have,but I will try and help with whatever...

Sorry Gang but I am having problems getting my computer to upload some of these pics .After restructing the rear 6' of the bus to account for the last three crossmember that were removed I built a well with three steps and cut the center of the bumper and threshold at the door corners and hinged it...

O/A Pressures

Dave, My point is every manufacturer has their own unique design and engineering and their owners and safety manuals sould be read completely and followed to SAFELY get the most out of what they designed that tool to do.

Pressure settings

The best advise I can give is get the Owners Manual that goes with your torch.It will have the proper tip size and pressure for what you are doing.While the settings that were given for a Victor are correct,so are the settings that Welderdude gave for a Smith which...

Hi Erik, How's that Shopmaster working out for you? Bill

[thehat]

Hi Erik, A few years ago a buddy(a lincoln diehard) and me where working on an aluminum project and brought his lincoln hf box and hooked it up to my shopmaster and was impressed with how it welded so I would say that it would do the job.I was looking for a deal on a hf when I found a killer deal on...

In my opinion the shopmaster is an excelent machine for Mig and stick but I'm not familier with the 252 so I can't compare. One big advantage in my book is the seperate feeder-you can take where you need without having to move the power source as in having to weld the cab protector on a 24' grain body...

Hi Erik, I bought my Shopmaster new in '92 and LUV it. It does a nice job with Mig and stick and I've done some scratch Tig with it,it's about the same as my Syncro 250 but without the hi-freq. good luck and enjoy . Bill
