LOL! You guys....


So the machine was new in box?

Out of curiosity what did the guy say about him lying about the model?...

[550]

I agree that men are better at some things and women are better at somethings. BUTTTTT that doesn't mean one can't be better than the other at something. And that's DEFINITELY not saying that men or women are better than each other. That's what makes people unique!


I have no problem...

[550]

Wow... that;s some crazy stuff. I woulda never thought about that kind of stuff....

[550]

I thought heat was a bigger issue with bearings as it would burn the grease away as well.

[550]

So true. I agree 100%. I told a guy who walked into our yard sale the same thing about our scaffolding LOL...

[550]

Make a mini trebuchet and weld everything yourself. Although I guess that is more physics isn't it...

[550]

That is a realllllly nice looking cart. I agree with the bends on the tubing also.

Wanna sell it?

[550]

Well, I looked. I didn't see those guys anywhere though.

Sorry.

[550]

I have welded 304 with solid mild wire and C25. Obviously, the issue there is you won't have the rust protection of stainless wire, but it works fine. Welds the same as anything else for me.

[550]

I bet that's not their real names... fricken liars.

I'll be there tomorrow... If I get a chance I'll see if I can find those guys.

Interesting stuff to say the least.

[550]

Who's going? I will be there on Thursday, my first time, so I'm super stoked to go!

[550]

Yeah... exactly the same as my problem. Sometimes If I hold the torch with my foot down long enough it will strike an arc too. Maybe the HF signal is too weak?

I don't know about your machine, but maybe you need to up the HF intensity? My 250 has a dial underneath the panel where all...

[550]

Thanks!

Yeah, my only peeve on the table was not planning better for the wheels, but I figure I can just cut them off if I really need to haha

I used a flap disc and it made it SUPER quick. I took the cap off a smaller can of hobby spray paint to trace a nice round edge...

So I'm back to the outlet pressure being about 61PSI.

I believe the flowmeter is supposed to output at 30PSI, so anything much higher would indicate a problem of some sort. Sooooo I guess that's today's project :-/
