Super Glaze is hard to come by!!!

admin

I had to order the 16lb spool from my LWS and he told me it would come directly from Lincoln as they didn't have ANY.I went to Phoenix today and went to the supplier I bought my PowerMig350MP from and asked if he had the Super Glaze 5356 3/64 in a 16lb spool. He said no because it's too expensive and he sells the Hobart stuff. But what I found out is that Lincoln shipped out some 16lb spools with only 3lbs on them for demo use by dealers. It's a large spool that fits the machine but only has a small amount of wire. He handed it to me and said Merry Christmas! I took it with a smile. So, if you are looking for it and can't get it...ask if they have a demo spool on hand !!!!It may save your bacon in a pinch. He also gave me a spool of 1/16th as well. I don't know what to do with that yet.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
Reply:I have never used superglaze, but You WILL find a use for the 1/16 as soon as you get anything over 1/4" with pulsed spray.  Its the balls.  The lincoln warehouse is in Ohio so anything I order on monday is here by thrusday.David Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.

Reply:Seriously? Or are you just tugging my nutz? Because I was trying to figure out why they didn't make the PowerMig feed 1/16. They stopped at 3/64.So I went to Lincoln's website and they show the Magnum SG Spoolgun feeding .023 to 3/64.Are you just using the 3/64 drive rolls? Fill me in on the details dude!Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
Reply:Yes, I just use the drive roll that came with the spool gun. It only has one.  flip it one way for small wire and the other way for anything else.  I was welding some 1/4" diamond plate and found the bigger wire really draws more amps for more heat.  I think I have a couple of spools of 5/64 too, I have to look.  In the one pound spools, I go big as I can.  The spool gun only goes up to 400? ipm.  I did modify it a little.   The pot (wfs) in the handle  broke so I put in a 1k instead of a 10 K.  Now the red box is course adjustment and the one on the spool gun is fine adj.  Its easier to dial in a good arc with aluminum.  NO where does it have wfs.  Just turn the knobs and go.So far I have tigged every aluminum job that has come in the door. I got the spool gun in case I get something bigger.   I have used it a few times with all different sizes of wire, tried pulse on pulse.....  BUT never on a paying job   .......  Yet.If you have the same spool gun, it will work.  I also have the heavy duty nozzels.  Look at the nipples thread.  3/4 gas cone is nice for aluminum.I have pics of some of the aluminum I was messing with.  I will post the link.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...ighlight=spray   Is this your spool gun?DavidLast edited by David R; 03-19-2009 at 08:50 PM.Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:My PowerMig will feed 700ipm according to the papers.400 seems pretty low... but I guess with 1/16 you might not need to feed it so fast.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
