Any idea if Unobtainum can be welded? Of course you have to go to Pandora to get it.
What about Adamantium? Here is some more details... https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questio ... -vibranium

Re: Beginner Q: one welder to do it all?
It really comes down to time. TIG is generally a much slower process and requires a lot more practice IMHO.

Re: Advice on Lincoln HD welder
Basically useless. Flux core welding sucks for sheet metal and with 80 amps, all you can weld with it is sheet metal. Reason there are so many used for so cheap. People buy then and quickly realize they need a bigger and better welder. But there is a sucker born every minute.

Re: Everlast 250ex vs 255ext
I've used both, much prefer the 250dx, I like analog and also seems to be a bit more reliable. I can see all the settings with just a quick glance at the panel.

I have ran both of them. Much prefer the 250ex with the extra 50 amps and knobs which I can glance at and see all my settings instantly.

Re: TIG Gas Flow Tester
I have the netwelding one and it's very accurate. You will notice the graduations get closer together as you move up the scale. The cheap ones are evenly spaced all the way up, the really cheap ones are in LPM not CFH

Re: Metal Cutting Disc for Grinder
I have one on my Makita LXT cordless grinder. Slower than abrasive disk, but no changing of disc needed. Worked good on aluminum tubing and angle. I don't think i would run one on my corded grinder though. They do vibrate more then cut off wheels.

Re: Wire feeder on ac/dc tig for ac mig?
I believe it's still constant voltage AC. Not constant current AC as used with TIG, which is not going to work well with any MIG process. Voltage sensing feeders are no where as near as good on thin metal as CV power sourced feeders

Re: What is the best welding hood for most applications?
I have Jackson Truesight II. Love it, mainly due to being colorblind, the blue lens really helps me see the puddle better, the large lens is nice for grinding.
