    @modestmoose83 Haha, you got a point. I’ll sometimes tack my welds with out gloves when I’m working with low amperage settings but safety is always needed. I’d like to see him tack that with no gloves on at 250 amps :-P

  • modestmoose83:

    It says “safety and operation” in the beginning as it shows somebody welding without gloves on… hmmm…

  • fuckyoda:

    i just got a 220 mig and i hooked it to the 220 in the kitchen where the stove is. do u think thats enough power coming from that 220 to power the welder cause i plug mine in and i turn it on and all i get is a light that says the welders on. no noise and nothing works and its brand new never used so i dont know wdf is going on

  • CrazyBritishB1oke:

  • atvjoel17:

  • bozzza69:

    genraly speaking put the earth clamp closest to the thing your welding and try to make sure its clamped onto a patch of bare steel

    Fighting to keep shops open–YES.
    I had to persuade numerous powers that be, that trades and applied skills has a big future. In past decades numerous schools in the united states and Canada have had their shops dismantled. For various reasons, usually school board accounting practices, they are always looking to reduce costs. The new machines in my shop were the first ones in over 20 years. With our economy in such perile, the need for skilled labor will never be so necessary.

    hey, nice video

    Our school (Brookfield Central High School in wisconsin) has a brand new snap-on welder. We dont use it and do not have a metals class. we have excellent autoshop supplies and wood shop etc. Do you think protesting to get metal working back would be worth it? I mean they did it back when my dad was a kid, then they sold all the machines. There still is this 7 foot tall bandsaw (aka “meatsaw”) with a 3” blade from side to side. cool stuff.

  • bozzza69:
