Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY

I "think" I might be able to make nicer looking welds with TIG. I like TIG for making small parts like drawers, small brackets, modifying windshield wiper drives and gloveboxes. I like to use MIG for general fabrication on heavier stuff. .
After I get back to the shop with some 75-25 I might MIG weld the joints.
My MILLER MATIC 200 is nearly 40 years old and works the same as it did when new. It may be time for me to upgrade. The technology has changed for the better. My TIG is a Miller 180SD. I bought it about 20 years ago. A few weeks after I got the 180sd home, the next Square wave Miller was on the market. The newest model has pulse. My Miller Spectrum 300 plasma cutter does everything I want.
Adom Booth, AKA, Abom 79, one of the You Tube makers has a fantastic channel. He took drlivery of new EVERLAST welders. I did try to buy Everlast here in British Columbia. The only dealer is in Ontario, Canada and this does not work for me. I do not want the dealer I buy from to be 5000 plus kilometers away. I suppose I could buy in Washington State, but our dollar is suffering and DC has set up some troubling tariffs that have stopped me.
I may as well stay with Miller. It is time for me to check out the latest and greatest Blue Stuff.
