Best thing to due is just got a local place, for us it would be roberts, or earlbechs. I like Earlbeachs myself they alwasy have whatever collets, bodies, tungsten i need

Edit: OT: Oh yay! 1000th post

 

Yeah thats what I figured. I'll probably head over the Robert's in Annapolis since thats closest to me and the guy that runs it, Sterling, has always been good to me a my dad.

 

redline thanks for the help..

do u mean how many ? i got a snap on welder, mac tools welder, millers, and a lincoln hahahah i got one thats fully digital .. which is kinda cool .. but yeah they're all pretty high teCh welders... i can do the same **** with a miller though. its more .. about techinique i think .. mig is really easy to get a hold of .. im tryin really hard to concentrate on my welding so i can make it come out very uniform and smooth kinda end up lookin like a tig weld. to get sometihgn that looks like that .. try turning the power all the way up and pulsing kidna like puttin dots together. i can do the crescents and circles pretty nice but i kinda like pulsing cuz it helps me a lot in not burning through the pipe and i get pretty good penetration still.

 

i was asking because i wanted to know how many amp welder you used to weld that pipe and flange... i was cheep and bought the 60amp mig and it sucks i can only weld metal thats about as thick as aluminum foil, well not really but you know what i mean. im getting a new one i think its 150amps

 

I am SO close to getting the Miller 180 SD. I cannot wait, no more mig and HELLO tig!

Its the best investment that I have made by far, you will get so much use out of it! I know that I do. It's allso nice knowing that when you are making something, it will turn out exactly like you want it to, because you are the one building it.
