Inever use the big mig,gotta mortgage the farm to buy a roll of wire,and the litle hobart is fine for the mig work I need to do
I will take a pic of one of the Hobart machines that we still use at work. It was built in 1957 and still works great. Huge, ugly, old machine. They use it in the fab shop and also on the production line as a demagnetizer. It's the only arc machine that we have left. Everything else is Miller and are either MIG or heli-arc machines. We also have a Miller plasma cutter that gets a lot of heavy duty use.

Ouch! In the hip? eeee....I've had shots in the butt and I've had IV's and blood taken several times, but never anything in the hip. I bet that is sore this morning!

Y'all started this, not me. Consider this. Bone marrow removed from hip for biopsy. I've had that done on more than one occasion. Even the prettiest tech they could come up with did not help much.

Good morning all.
I guess with the cold weather, they are coming in to a nice warm house. We have three cats and they are very active right now with the mice around the yard. Found 2 dead critters on Sunday morning from them.

Do I need an oven to store low hydrogen electrodes?
All low-hydrogen consumables must be dry to perform properly. Unopened Lincoln hermetically sealed containers provide excellent protection in good storage conditions. Once cans are opened, they should be stored in a cabinet at 250º-300ºF (121º-149ºC).
When the electrodes are exposed to the air, they will pickup moisture and should be redried. Electrodes exposed to the air for less than 1 week with no direct contact with water should be redried as follows:
<TABLE width="80%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>E7018:</TD><TD>1 hour at 650º-750ºF</TD></TR><TR><TD>E8018, E9018, E10018, E11018:</TD><TD>1 hour at 700º-800ºF</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>If the electrodes come in direct contact with water or have been exposed to high humidity, they should be predried for 1-2 hours at 180º-220ºF first before following the above redrying procedure.
Standard EXX18 electrodes should be supplied to welders twice per shift. Low hydrogen electrodes with the suffix "MR™" have a moisture resistant coating and may be left out up to 9 hours or as specified by code requirements.
