Thanks for this info. That particular model seems like a pretty good option for plate especially.

Hi, I found this interesting, especially since I used to be a pretty good guitar player lol. I would say that titanium can only be Welded to titanium, but I imagine that isn't 100% true anymore. Just know that if you are talking about joining titanium to anything but titanium, you are getting into s...

For anyone else who may be wondering, I'll say that yes, there is absolutely a difference from machine to machine in low end performance. However, I don't know of any machine under $3,500 or so that has great low end performance. With that said, my machine does not shine when it comes to starting or...

I've heard the same thing that spartan mentioned about the colors being caused by varying thicknesses of oxide layers, whether the oxides are Chromium, titanium, or otherwise. I will say also that even if you have perfect shielding gas coverage, impurities will also prevent a "color-free",...

Thanks again, fellas. I ended up just buying the cooler that could interface with my machine, for cost and for fear of forgetting to turn on a separately powered cooler and burning up my CK20 torch haha. I’m extremely glad I got it, I’ve welded lots of super long runs on really thick aluminum lately...

Has anyone had experience with both diamond and CBN? I have just bought an 8" bench grinder, the JET 578008, and I am torn between the two abrasives, as I have never tried CBN. I'm also hard-pressed to find any information to compare the two. If anyone has any insight into this subject, I'm ver...

Would you want to sell all the Furick cups & magnetic ground clamp? I would pay the shipping and make a fair offer

Thanks guys. I appreciate the ideas. I'll at least find out what it would take to build one and if nothing else, I'll be very entertained and maybe learn a thing or two.

I’m currently looking for a water cooler unit & a 20 series TIG torch for my machine at home. My power source only goes up to 210 amps, so I don’t NEED a massive cooler, and I would like to be able to fit it in the bottom tray of my welding cart. If anyone on the forum happens to have any water ...

Thanks, Richard. I must have overlooked the date.

I think he's yankin' our chains; it doesn't look like he wants to sell, lol. Haha, well although we may lose a good deal, hopefully he's considering keeping his setup to dive into the art of TIG welding. I hope that he does find a way to continue, even if I have to stack up another check for a new ...

Hey, would you be interested in selling the water cooler & the CK20 torch?
