I checked around and have been told the company went out of business and they are no longer made. I would like to get one myself so if anyone wants to get rid of one...

I dont put the shorter rods in them. I use one of the shelves to lay them on. Will probalby make a couple of short tubes, one for aluminum and one for steel just to hold them.

Check this thread, it has a home made "Tig Cheater" that might work for you.

Uploaded the pics from my phone and they are straight there, don't know why they rotated.

Here are a few pics of my modified Harbor Freight welding cart. I bought an Everlast Powertig 185 (2014 model with duel voltage, stick/tig function and dinse 35 connectors) After tinkering with it for a little while I bought the CK FlexLoc torch and am happy to say I am pleased with both the machine...

Got the 800 grit wheel and opened up the arbor to 5/8 so it would fit my 4" grinder. WOW does it leave a nice shiny tip. I'm gonna take a close look with a magnifying glass, but with the naked eye, I cant see grind marks. It's pretty smooth. Gonna sharpen a few and see how the arc looks on Alum...

Yes please do post what happens. I have an Everlast Powertig 185, the 2014 model. It has been nothing but perfect since I got it. I did order directly from Everlast and besides after business house I have never had a problem getting ahold of them. I have even spoke to Oleg on Sunday (he called me af...

Very, very cool cart.

Glenn

That is very cool! I like it, gonna have to look through my scrap pile now and see what I can tinker with.

Well, no pics yet :shock: Update on my testing. I sharpened one 3/32 tungston the same way I had been with the drill at a high speed spin, blade rotating away from the point. Then I did one the same way with the blade rotating toward the point. Then I did several with the blade rotating toward the p...

I don't have a bench grinder (will get one if I need to), so the other wheels are what I hope will be a solution. I am also going to put a router speed controler I have at the house inline with the grinder so I can slow it down a bit. I like having a flat spot to grind against vrs the curve of the f...

Thanks for the answer and the link. I have watched that video, figured I could find the wheel cheaper as well or at least one like it. I am in the process of making a mount to hold the 4" angle grinder and putting a support tab to rest the tungston agains. I'll post pics when I'm done. I am goi...

Has anyone done a comparison on tungston quality? I can get very cheap tungston from weldingcity.com in 2% Blue (what I am liking so far). However I am wondering if it's good quality. Do the name brands have a better or more pure tungston. Any opinions on this. I am having some arc wandering issues ...

Any updates?

I bought a Powertig 185 around the same time. So far I am pleased with it. No problems and works very well.

I have been wanting to try out the tig pen (just because I'm a gadget guy LOL). Could not find anyone in the states that sells them. Price is shipping is a bit steep from across the pond. I did find a thread where someone made a "tig cheater" it was just some wire in the shape of a crude p...

Thanks, found the forum after finding Jody's videos. I picked up a couple of tig fingers, and ordered a CK Flexloc torch after watching and listening to his usage and it's abilities.

Hoping to up my welding skills and build all manor or neat stuff.

Thanks
Glenn

Great project and pics. I have a Milwaukee Portaband model 6225 and a table is on my very short to do list. Yall have given me inspiration!

Glenn

I am new to TIG, but not too new to welding. I got my first TIG for Christmas and am very pleased with my choice. Got an Everlast Powertig 185 (may step up to a more featured unit down the road). I hobby weld and build small projects for stuff around the house and for my friends. I like to work with...
