I finally had a chance to use my MIG (Hobart 140) with CO2/Argon shielding gas. My initial welds were pretty poor, but I got better as I went along and the lessons from my welding class came back to

I wouldn't worry about soaping connections. It'll leak out plenty from the nozzle thus the hoses/connections won't be under any real pressure. I just close the valve on the top of the cylinder when I

I have never worried about getting a perfect seal on any of the fittings as I did not think there was much pressure in the line. After all there is this big hole at the end of the gun so ... I have a

just remember to TURN OFF THE GAS when you're thru welding... you can lose a lot of $$$ gas over a week or so... ask me how I know :-) j _______________________________________________ Support Team.N

The gas is not flammable, so a small leak is pretty much irrelevant, unless you leave everything turned on for hours at a time. On mine, I never purge after closing the main valve. Why bother? The pr

What does argon smell like? The mix I use for spray transfer is 90% argon, 8% CO2, 2% O2 and the TIG bottle is 100% argon. To be honest I have not tried the sniff test because I was not to keen on br

In theory it's odorless. In practice, it seems to smell a lot like air that has been stored in a rusty, dirty old tank. Although you wouldn't want to breathe it continuously, even a big lungful of p

Not as far as I can tell. The owner's manual doesn't indicate anything about purging per se, but here's how it describes setting the gas flow rate: Flow Adjust Flow rate should be set when gas is flo

Well, there's a purge setting on the 180, which is basically just a wire feed speed of 0. I use the purge setting to set gas flow without wasting wire. Maybe you could rig up a switch to open the cir

Yes, my 140 Handler does. It's about 9 years old. It's on the wire feed (Voltage) control, on which I believe the lowest setting is called purge. Pulling the trigger provides gas, but no arc. Jack Do
