Hey all my name is Ben and have been welding for a living for the past 10 years or so. Have done robotic MIG, Sub Arc, Mig, and some tig. Currently am working in a shipyard in WI building Navy gun boats, big boats at over 375' long.
We do all FCAW-G running mostly 045 and some 052 E70S-6 and some E80. 100% co2 gas for all MIG. Have learned alot but always ready to learn more tips, tricks and techniques. Been playing with aluminum lately and have limited time with TIG but am getting better each time.
For machine we almost always run a Miller 400 power source with suitcase feeders or the Lincoln equivilants. Have always loved working with metal and sticking it together in all postitions, just hate some of the confined spaces we have to get into while wearing all the required PPE (half mask respirators, hardhats, full leathers, etc....)
Had a small Hobart Handler 140 at home but had to sell it when hard times struck but and am looking for a new, bigger machine as of late.
Thanks for having me and hope to learn a bunch of great things here!
