I heard they are tits for SS work and keeping them all pretty looking for teh interwebz picture taking. The normal gas lens and a #8 (largest aluma cup i could find at the time and never cared to change it from necessity) I out run my shielding gas so my trailing welds aren’t cooled bellow the oxidization temperature while still shielded. So i would have to go in 1/2 - 5/8 steps around a joint to keep it shielded long enough. I am hoping I can blow a 1" long bead and still stay shielded with this. Since I am usually out of position/run out of skill (lol) at 1" its time for me to re-position anyways.

PM coming. becasue its been atleast a month since I bugged you. LOL
