All enlightening information

I too have had L5 issues, and have learned to deal

I have loved my hot tub with the therapy corner - really takes the stiffness out after a long day of very tense muscle soreness

Can you post a snapshot of the machine ?

The Y adapter is what I got, with independent regulators
Seems to work OK from what I tried at the house. Still not the same thing as a gas mixer though and I do know that )

Adam

Tried it, and I have to agree
You have to have a good grip on what you are doing before you try the blend gas tricks.

At least know what you are looking at

When i bought my Coolermate 3, I had to put in a new radiator, a new driveshaft, a new pump, a new flow meter, and some other new stuff. Spent about 250-300 to bring it back to life. Seller on eBay whom sold it to me gave me a full refund since it was all fubar. Almost wish I built something like th...

Very impressive !!
I wish I had done something like this

Bravo

Looks pretty promising

Any idea of what market price may be for something like this ?

I set mine up last month with a Y fitting for the gas lines and a regulator for each tank run into the Y

I don't have a gas meter but this seems to work OK to have an adjustable blend of helium introduced into the argon stream

No check valve here

Hey Steve You're right - that's a lot of gas With a gas lens and number seven cup on a CK torch doing most of my stainless I've stood at 15 CFH of shielding has for almost all of my projects - I did kick it up a couple of notches when I was playing with the FUPA cups and their wide pattern lenses Wh...

Hey Jim Ordered that regulator you cited from Amazon this morning When it arrives I will give it a whirl and the see how it plays out Might be a good inexpensive way to get the ball rolling on the project - if I had more gigs of this nature it would be time to look at a gas mixer ( unless the mixer ...

I don't mean to be telling tales out of school but at school in the TIG program that's all we did - every tungsten was ground on the belt sander I used a $75 bench grinder to grind up my tungstens, and it worked pretty well until I left it outside in the rain one day Yes, California did have rain at...

Hi Steve That's kinda what I was thinking, especially since I thought I could fine tune the mix for a lighter / heavier helium content depending on what I am working with that day. That is a very good bit of information in regards to the helium in the argon regulator - I did know that the gas didn't...

Hey Shawn

Thanks for the heads up - if I get into a pinch I'll hunt there

Heck - with this weekends jobs and errands I might stop by just because

How do these compare to using the belt sander ?
I always liked the belt sander and cordless drill method....

Something that does sound attractive about having independent tanks is the ability to vary the argon to helium mix ratio - if you want less or more helium in your shielding gas you could adjust this Sounds cool - prolly the only advantage of having individual tanks ( unless I'm missing something ? )...

Jim
( and others )

If I don't have a gas mixer and have two jobs to do this weekend - what would you all recommend that I use for combining the gas using a Y fitting between the two ?

You know what, I was thinking the same thing.

Next job, I'll start there.

Hey Jim do you mind sending me a link for the regulators to use at the helium bottles?

Thank you

Show me an example of you have a moment....
I've heard of that but never seen it

I have seen the rubber band trick That's true - it is easy to lie flat on the back of your head and not have that knob digging into your skull Most of my work is done with my head off to the side http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/22/b645dca7ba9c5f87a58a0d36c465fc2e.jpg Sent from my iPhone using T...

I asked for that - another cylinder with mixed gas in it. My favorite LWS shop told me they couldn't provide it but let me borrow a cylinder for 60 days just to try it out I know what you mean though - I too would have preferred a specific cylinder just for this purpose Adam Sent from my iPhone usin...

Well thank you all for your contributions here I think I will start with the first project being attempted with a gas " Y " adapter and a bottle of each gas. See how that goes - might be able to get by on two small repairs on these floor sanders I will keep my eyes open for a gas mixer tho...

Yeah that topic drifted a hair, wouldn't you say
