    I’m a sucker for a bargain

    never thought to try that for thin stuff I tried it on some 1/4" and didnt like it, but I suppose needing it vs trying it is 2 different things ever run it like that for vertical? rare that I do real thin stuff that I dont use FCAW, but stuff 1/8" and less I consider "thin", always had issues on...

    I’m a sucker for a bargain

    I will say tho, even on my baby welder the cheapo "berger" cast brass ground clamp from hobo freight is really nice for $16, huge upgrade from the cheap stamped steel one the welder came with also, I made one of these out of battery cable (3 cables stripped and braided), not been able to try it...

    I’m a sucker for a bargain

    what size leads are those, Kyle? im thinking of making longer ones for my inverter multiprocess, even tho I have a 30 ish foot extension cord for it, the leads are like 8ft so too short 99% of the time, and carrying leads, helmet, gloves, jacket, rod bucket, and welder in one trip aint easy...
