Welding FAQ

R Johnson-

Thanks for the rod info. I will try it out when I have a chance.

Hope you get some dry air down there. I have been watching on the news about the rainfall down there and I sure hate to see pictures of people getting flooded out. That is an awful thing to have happen. There was one shot on Fox news of some unfortunate guy pushing the mud and water out of his living room via the front door.

The drought is continuing up here and it could get serious. We have this big reservoir called the Scituate Reservoir that supplies half the state of Rhode Island (which really is not that big - some Texas ranches are said to be bigger than the entir state of RI) and the water level is way, way down. We could use some of your rain - say about 12 inches for starters.

Keep dry and thanks for the advice on the rods.

A very good source of welding information can be found at Miller's web site:

http://www.millerwelds.com/main/

They have a drawing form at this site to win a free TIB/stick welder. It costs only a few seconds to fill it out, so it is an opportunity to win a welder.

Also at this site is an education section. They have a bundle of 13 books for only $25 including shipping. I bought tis package. The best book is on MIG. It alone sells for $15.

They also have owners manuals online I think for free. If you don't have a manual for your miller you should download, print, read, and save it. It is also good way to check out a new welder before you buy it.

Miller's is a top notch company. I love my 250x MIG machine. Welds 1/2" thick sinfgle pass plugged into a 30 amp dryer outlet. I am not skilled, yet my welds look and more importantly perform like a pro weld.

Hope this helps some.
