2 year old thread or not, I whole-heartily agree with Bearston and the others who urge you against building pressure vessel projects.

The very real threat is nothing to play with. I'm done now, good day.

Bi-Metal Hole Saws
Hole saws will work as long as they are Bi-Metal saws. I agree, you need to slow down and use lots of oil. Keep light, even pressure. As long as the saw keeps turning and making chips, you're doin' fine.Leave a comment:

That is my guess as well Duane. The thing is built like a tank, a mini-tank.

M 180
Hi there.
I wish to know if anyone has any insight concerning an old stick machine that I just brought home. I have checked the manual list. They show an M180, and an M180P and neither manual shows the two outside terminals that are on this machine. This machine has a red and a black terminal... -
OMGosh yes!

Just did that today.

Hood Time
Hey Robert,
It may seem like a long wait, but if you expect to weld on race cars, put your time in. I have been schooling now going on five years, at night and on saturdays. You will not regret learning everything they can teach you. Be patient and put into it what...Leave a comment:

I gotta think on that one.....
You might try E7018 with electrode positive. What we do is to start flat, then tilt up a little at a time. Just run over the same piece of steel, let it grow! When it gets too hot, dunk it.
Just don't dunk a piece you want to use somewhere,...Leave a comment:

I see...
OK, the rod is run at a rating that falls within the parameters set by the manufacturer and found written on the box. Your machine should put that amperage out just fine, that is the only point I have.
Concerning 3/8" or 1/2" or 1-1/2"...Leave a comment:

OK, I got some time in with some fresh 1/8" 7018 Forney brand rods last night. Not all 7018 rods are going to burn the same and moisture is never going to help these rods, but I did what I could. They burned fine. Other than needing to practice with these more, they did just fine with the Econotig...Leave a comment:

That sounds very interesting, I just used my E-tig in stick mode for the first time last night with some 3/32" 7018's. I burned those up real good, too! I'll have to try some 1/8" rods very soon and see for myself. ...

Yes, it can be. Two areas of concern, in my opinion, are depth of penetration and cold lap. You get that using mig more than with stick. Preheat is more beneficial with thicker metal and larger pieces, especially for using mig. The best example I can give is when tack welding parts together, how many...Leave a comment:
