They're alright they just get red hot, this little 200A one isnt actually that strong now, it spends most of the time on the floor and its always sparking and crap. Have used the big 600A one and they're worth having but theyre £100s

I have the little one the same. Was quite disappointed when i first used it, it's nowhere near as strong as i thought it'd be. It's ok on flat stuff, but use it on pipe and it falls off if you look at it too hard, let alone move your workpiece.
Now that's where gussets should go - onto the strongest part of the hollow section!

I have one, I think a 500amp rated one and use it for the playground equipment builds. It's OK does get hot though when the Esetti 350 is cranked flat out (380amps). The insulation has melted back about 20mm from the attachment bolt, this will need redoing in the not to distant future. However overall it's ok. One thing to watch is that the steel is clean and not rusty.

Aye, no point putting them in the middle, try and fully weld them in the middle of the box and it will just distort all over the place. This is well overkill for what it is but the customer is looking for a rustic/early 1900's look.
gave up on magnets long ago, I always seem to have daft shapes on the bench, often have kit with bearings in etc, have tried all connectors at one time or another, just use a 300A croc type clipped directly onto the job, even though it's an all steel bench. Had too many arc strikes from poor contact over the years damaging kit, so just go direct to the job now more reliable..

Got a 25mm mt2 sleeve, it has a tang socket I needed to bore out for m10 draw bar. I thought this would be hardened but file cuts it, ,turned better with carbide than cbn, lathe doesnt like it might be en19. Had to turn shoulder OD down to 31.5 so it could go reverse end up a er40 collet.
I have a few taper tools I want to part the tang off, drill and tap, not sure how best to hold them.

Might be talking out my hat.. if you have Delrin or other thick plastic or brass turn out a matching taper on a round stock finely split it on one side . pop your taper inside the new bit and put it in your three jaw , support the free end as need till almost parted through then remove support , if you have a big enough three jaw steady use that for support .
