***Win a Welder*** May 2020 Contest

[Budroe]

I am a beginning welder who would like to pick up some welding tips and wouldn’t mind an upgrade from my old stick welder

 

[Keithwelds]

New member from Ireland, shipping a new welder here will take months, so if I win the gift card I'll be happy. Keep the fire lit and stay safe.

 

[RonG]

My 50 year old Lincoln could use an upgrade,....Ha!Ha!
I wouldn't know how to use these modern self welders.

 

[Txpajohn]

I have a small Hobart mig. Would like to eventually get a tig unit.

 

[MigTrig]

Facebook, not enough time left in life to waste over there!

[SteelTex]

I've been welding for several years around the farm and for friends. Always looking for new ideas.

 

[Wolfman]

I learned to weld over 30 years ago and I am now semi-retired and doing a little farming, I am wanting to buy a welder and I know systems have shanged since I leared to weld. Looking for recommendations from any of you, I want to be able to weld farm implements for my tractor. I appreciate any ideas.

interesting ....very interesting....... what project to start next ?

 

[kingoharts]

New to welding, but willing to learn

I recently bought a CV250 Lincoln welder through an online auction, not realizing it was three-phase. I don’t have three-phase power. Anyone want to buy it, and the LN-7 wire feeder for a steal?

Here's a good vid on the concepts you need. You can also generate 3ph with a spinner motor that just idles.

Cool New site ! I plan on fabricating a 3point pallet fork carrier.

New to welding, not a clue. Will learn with your help.

I've been running my 3ph 5hp air compressor with the same phase converter for nearly 20 years without issue, but as Dave says, make sure it has enough capacity to match the load of your welder at full amperage. If I set the amperage on my old Wilson at the highest, the converter will drop out when I start welding.
