Well, not so much as a few minutes after I tell someone here about how a clicking/popping noise can be caused by the from the front U clamp that holds the antisway bar in place breaking. Mine does. Again.



FARK!



Oh well. I'll do a writeup on it sometime tomorrow. Need to get the O2 tank replaced. Aint' going to be able to weld with just mapp gas. :(


*sigh* at least this time I know where the problem is.

Why is it the !@#$% tank always has pressure until the day you need it?

Will Honea did pass the time by typing:

Because I drained it last time and didn't go for a refill then. :]

Should get myself a real welding rig and stop playing with this stupid Sears brand minibottle rig. The adjustment screws for gas and O2 are so touchy it isn't even funny. It works well for fixing patio furnature and thin metal but never lived up to what I thought it could do.

The writeup (still in progress)

I like my MIG, perfect for weekend warior stuff. KH

Kevin in San Diego did pass the time by typing:

I'm thinking about getting one. Only question is whether to get gas or gassless with a gas option.

I got mine with the gas option. I even have co2 tanks around for portable air. I haven't tried it yet though. One thing about welders, get the best you can afford. KH

Yes, my mig is just for quick and dirty work. KH
