Re: New member from B.C.
That is one awesome looking rig. You should be extremely proud of that. I would sure hate to be your helper with a rig like that, I am sure you are very peticular as how it gets treated. I say that as I was hard to work with years ago with a good looking rig. Good job. Thanks! I do have a few thing...

Re: Any tips for cutting.
Do you mean oxy- propane? If so, propane requires more oxygen for the preheat flame and a little slower cutting speed. There are four things required for successful cutting: proper tip size (and clean), oxygen pressure, speed, and clean material. The results you describe could be from a combination ...

Re: What machine should I get?
i agree with the 252 i have one in my shop and it welds pretty good with the spoolgun hooked up to it. i don't really like that the mig gun is on a angle coming out of the unit and i really don't know the reason why they made it that way .one other thing is when im welding with the mig it seems to ...

Re: What machine should I get?
Never had a problem with the 252s I've used. Run like tanks. Depending on what you want for amps you could go with a new or older 211 that are phenomenal for spool guns. My dealer said the 211 is not recommended for the 30A spool gun, but the 252 is the one I need. Also, the 211 won't have enough o...

What machine should I get?
I have a Syncrowave 200 for AC/DC TIG and stick, and a stand-alone MIG unit, but neither of these can run my spool gun. I've had to use it off of my Vantage 400 mobile unit on CV mode. Ideally, I would like a MIG unit with a spool gun connection to replace my current MIG welder. The one that comes t...

Re: New member from B.C.
Thanks for the reply, Bert. You sound like you'd be my go-to man for what I want to know. I have watched some of Jody's videos, too. Don't know how many hours of vids he has, but going to work through them over the next weeks and months.
