This is to all you Forney experts out there. I've got an old Forney welder from the 50s. This is a piece/part that came with it. Can someone tell me what the heck it is? Thanks, Ron

Reply:Please help this ignorant guy out....Is a carbon arc torch something that can be considered useful in my shop?  What can be done with it.Thanks,  Ron
Reply:Brazing and heating metal, but a torch set-up with a rosebud would give you better results most of the time. If you have it already, and it appears you do, keep it and it may come in handy when no other method works for you.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
