Impressive.Beats wire brushing,don't ask me how I know.Interested in seeing your final ratio.

The short liner can cause drag going into the tip.That and the tight tension was probably the problem.slow moving small wire needs a smooth path more so than the big stuff.Glad you got it worked out.

The spool tension may be too tight and if it hangs a little it causes the wire to surge.I set mine at home and work (when I was a welder) so the spool spins by hand VERY easy.Tight enough that the spool doesn't unwind when the trigger is released.As Bad Sport said if the feeder wheel is too...

Play is normal as long as you can't pull the wire out more with little effort.If you can then the wheel is slipping. Describe "challenging".Is your thin metal galvanil or rusty.Fluxcore pops more and has more spatter so thinner stuff is harder to make look good.i don't think its the liner from...

I'm not completely sure about the smaller welders but the contacts I mentioned should be the only moving part inside the welder when you hit the trigger the contacts close.Unplug the welder (obviously) and make sure they are not carbon arced or rusty, this is the power that melts the metal so it...

I think so too.when mine is not in use I leave the lead loose out of the machine then lay the lead over the welder from side to side then continue with a loop and lay the gun on the welder.I have seen people roll them up tight, with solid .035 or bigger it's not as much of an issue but small...

A new liner should have instructions with it but if you have the original you can usually go by that.

Make sure the spool mount is turning and that doesn't have a groove cut into it.also make sure Wire feed roller is the right size some have two size grooves and can be flipped over, make sure the roller is tight and clean with no slippage.if you are using a liquid clean as mentioned above it may...

To answer your question about using a tip one size bigger than the wire.If a spatter ball hits the tip at the wire there is more room around it to keep feeding wire same as if the tip gets gummed up.Catch 22 though,the bigger clearance also allows a bigger chance of getting stuff into the tip...

WD-40=water displacement compound #40 is just that a water displacement but makes a good lubricator but doesn't do much for rust breakdown and it should be last on that list.However it lubricates miles better than PB but again PB isn't made for lubing.PB works pretty good when a stuck bolt is...

^^^^^ I was a welder for many years and while inside never ran my pressure above 15 lbs and that was with fans blowing in the summer.Anything more than the minimum is just wasting gas.If you can get by with 15 lbs and you run 30 lbs your just getting half the life out of your tank.Start out at...

I added on to my garage but the original size is 16x28 and it is separated by a wall and a step down on the floor so I see your dilemma.Some times I wish it was open but I use it as an extra separate work space.I agree with ROBJ it depends on your intentional use.If your doing body work by all...

Would the city allow you to build on to the shop?Building a second garage and adding on are two different things.By the time you install a door and remove the wall you might be real close to the cost of adding a stall.

Doesn't look like it would be very useful in a restore fashion.You would want the axle and front end out to do it right.that being said that thing can handle a lot of weight,most rotisseries can't handle the axle,front end plus the engine and transmission.

I believe the #2 kerosene is what they call around here "tractor fuel".Its a form of cheap dirty diesel that is allowed in farm equipment but illegal to run in trucks.So stay away from the #2 for your heaters.

Those are great but try to use kerosene and not diesel. Diesel is kerosene with oil mixed in.It will burn a lot cleaner and a lot less fumes on kerosene.

The infrared temp gun is well worth the money.I look for low abusive products from them as I am a little iffy on something that may take an industrial work load.

Dust build up affects the contacts in a welder,mainly by making them "sticky" so when you release the trigger it keeps welding.Not real sure how a plasma works(never looked in side one) but I assume it has a similar contact setup.Kinda like a breaker that flips when ingauged.So dust could have a...

check all the lead connections as it uses compressed air and moister might have built up and after sitting it glazed or rusted the connections.Make sure all the insulators are good also because it may be grounding out.

Cool ideas.Does any of these effect the rubber or plastics that might be on differant parts?

The best teacher is experiance.Its always better to learn with a little work than to read it in a book.

As orangetwist said.you want to heat the metal around the bolt while keeping the bolt as cool as possible.Heat the surrounding area,not necessary to get it red hot,until it is very hot while shooting small quirts of the PB Blaster on the bolt to cool it and add penetration oil in the threads.If...

I have the 1,000 4 wheeled stand from harbor frieght around $60.00.You can use all 4 bolt arms if you get a bolt and nut and run it thru the hole where the oil filter is.Then just put the other three thru the threaded hole they line up with.The 273-340 wieghs 525 lbs and the 360 wieghs 550lbs so...

I have 3 of the "big bird" whirly birds on my house.They turn when heat is rising up thru them and my are always turning atleast some so attics hold lot of heat year round.

If you are running a psi regulator 15psi is well enuff in doors if you are outside and the wind is blowing you will have to go higher up the wind can still blow thru so windy days make it hard to not get porosity(little holes that shows a bad weld).You will want a little brownish to greyish hard...

GK6 is bronze metallic.Looks good.It does kinda look like root beer. http://www.aarta.com/challenger_colors/challenger_colors.html

What paint code is that car?

looks toasty.Yeah I have the same problem.Is that an RV cover?

I wander if leno works on all those cars he has?It'd be cool if he did.

Nice
