Exam entails a light almost as bright as catching an arc strike as my eye lids are stretched wide open ...

    Visibility of the puddle Tig Al vs Tig SS

    I'll sort of ask again Is the additional light for prior/post arc strike? I can't imagine a small light can add that much to the viewing area during welding How does added hi intensity light affect auto darkening sensors? I may have solved my initial question, as prior to the tig work I was...

    swing arm tool changer

    Not sure about a time out, but if my older NTC vmc has not been used for a couple weeks &/or its cold in the shop sometimes the tool change will not complete. Fortunately the manual has instructions on overriding the alarm it throws and allows a way of completing. Usually does it 1 time When...
