Ig,

Thanks for the tip on the shipper but I went there and it says it is under
construction.

Ron,

I am absolutely deflated to see that you got it and I didn't. It was too
far for me to drive and the freight companies must be owned by Trump.

I have to join and say congrats. As for trucking companies, check out
AAA Cooper (aaacooper.com).

One guy bought a hydraulic electric forklift from me

and shipped it from IL to TX for $250, and that included pickup from
my house. No kidding.

Anyway, congratulations. I am excited for you and am glad to see that
you
are having good success with it. Maybe, I will, too, if I find one.

Appreciate your comments Bob.

As you probably know, the fan would be extremely easy to control by
just
setting a bi-metallic thermostat on top of the transformer with some
thermal
grease and one wire of the fan connected in series with the thermostat.
Normally, open, of course.

Can one not weld aluminum easily with the Dialarc h.f.?

k

I routinely weld aluminum down to .050" with my Dialarc HF, have
done .030 aluminum with it. Other machines would probably be better
if you plan to do very thin aluminum, but .050 and above are easy
with the Dialarc. I've also repaired broken aluminum castings,
like a pressure washer manifold and a trolling motor mounting clamp.
I'm just an amateur, but my welds look OK and they seem to hold up in
service.
I am absolutely thrilled to see this thread. I just bought a Dialarc HF
on
ebay
(#7590655192) and this is my second day playing with it. I did have to
drive a
couple of hours to get it.
I have never even seen tig welding done before, and I am making passable
fillet
welds without filler.
Of course, yesterday was a different story. I forgot to turn the coolant
on
after a break and cooked the hoses to the torch. Now I'm glad I didn't
cheap out
with a Chinese machine, as the local Miller dealer had the parts on the
shelf.
