God that's a good way to kill time when I'm doing something boring. I find myself doing it alot more since I started actually welding for my supper a little over a year ago. I was an auto mechanic for 10 yrs. before that. Now I actually enjoy going to work. At leat as much as you can I guess.Originally Posted by racebronco

When you are tired of tacking and just want to burn some rod.
Some one gives you a 1/4" rod and you get to crank the machine up flat out.

By the way, doesn't that number sound a little high, welder is an old Dialarc 250 AC/DC?Dynasty 200DX, first generationMakita 5" grinder
Makita 14" abrasive sawIR SS5L compressorWhole bunch of hand/air tools.and a wish list a mile long

You might be a welder if:
Your portable work bench is an empty 55 gal drum supporting a 4'x4' sheet of 3/8 steel.

It's common to walk into to work to find broken metal objects on your workbench accompanied by an IOU for a case of beer
