Re: Welding Newbie

We know how you feel really...
I was mad as hell also when i bought an industrial type stand fan for home use just so it would last long, that 3D fan I bought was more expensive than other brands of the same category, but because of my belief that its got more than 30 years of manufacturing, even when the wife said it was costly, I BOUGHT IT.
It died after 5 months use. So I wrote a strong letter to the company.
They replaced the entire motor. Thats it. ....pero yun abala nakakainis.

Panda Araneta on wikimapia

Re: Welding Newbie

Thank bro I will be needing both or just the electrodes and ground. What do you think.

If the power cord is long enough then you can get away with it.

My Ground Cable is 4m long and Electrode cable is 5m long. I purchased Fuji 1/0 welding cable because it's rubberized.

For the welding cord I bought Phelps Dodge brand No. 10 shielded ( 2 wires inside only )

Re: Welding Newbie

thanks to all of you guys.

@chisel,
congrats sa new toy mo, and welcome to the club 🙂
add ko lang, pls consider the amperage rating of the ground/electrode wire you are going to buy.

Di na nga new almost 1 year na sakin yung welding machine baka makagawa ng trusses for the work shop so kelangan ko mga expert sa metals.

Re: Welding Newbie

ang mura nito sa service center compare sa mall prices

Re: Welding Newbie

OK na ba chop saw mo bro?

Re: Welding Newbie

yes bro, its a switch problem, the pin on the rocking switch slipped. naka rimatse lang kasi, then nirepair na lang. at pinaayos ko pa ulit pagkaka rimatse para hindi na maulit muli (sana), wala silang stock parts ng switch kasi. 🙂

That's good.

A motor problem would have made me worried too but seems not the case so I'm happy as well.

Re: Welding Newbie

mas mahal ang switch kesa sa motor 😀
switch Php7k
motor Php1K
the rest Php400

joke lang 😀 hehehe

Re: Welding Newbie

was talking to Golden after having the chopsaw repaired. Would you want the switch replaced? I too was told the full story during the time you brought the chopsaw for repair. I also informed Golden about the rust in the hold down screw in your saw...
