getting sick of my little aldi welder cutting out after five rods from cold i decided to put this beast on it! its a 230v thing from a boiler and no way it could fit inside the machine so i cut a hole in the top and rivited/siliconed it in place, i tested it today and i went through 10 rods - 1 after another before i got bored, also i checked the welder temperature as it would usually be roasting hot but it wasnt even warm, - so job well done!
