Hi Marc, What are the steel welding parameters of this machine? I.e., what is the thinnest and thickest material that you can weld with it? I think that for purposes of bike/recumbent welding the wall thickness necessary will probably be considerably smaller than the capacity of your machine. thx, ron > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: "Marc Huebner" <marchuebner@xxxxxx> > Gesendet: 02.06.08 11:38:37 > An: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Betreff: [python] welding > Hi all welders and non-welders! > > About 6 years ago I bought a used AC/DC TIG (WIG) welding machine.
