Welded this up for a co-worker. These broke off . I guess I did ok. This looked to be cast aluminum. This was the reason for the thread on welding cast aluminum. Had a little crater trouble.........I will get there.Last edited by rahtreelimbs; 08-09-2014 at 01:53 PM.

Reply:rah; way to go. nice repair. what do you think of the 186? i got mine a couple months ago and swapped out the regulator(which started to buzz) with a flow meter and added a foot pedal. next is a lighter more flexible torch maybe water cooled. even though i haven't used the stick weld feature yet i like the machine.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla
Reply:I like the 186. Used my HTP 221 on this repair.
Reply:Nice repair. How do you feel the 186 compares to the HTP 221 and the older 185 you have?
