I am venturing into what is for me a new world and building up lots of sheet metal parts for my car. I have a TIG and I can drill holes in one sheet and weld them together to make it look like a spot
The eastwood is made by a company "renowned for quality welding equipment" that I've never heard of, nor can find with google. I suspect it's the same product sold by HF, for three times as much mone
I was going to say "you have never heard of Miller?" but thought I should re-read the Eastwood ad before I said that, you are right, I have never heard of Millweld either and a quick google search sa
I bought the H-F unit to spot weld on the sills & pillars for my MGA. It works adequately for my purpose. I made a few test welds using scraps of sheet metal then tested them to destruction. They wer
