O/A question

admin

General question for anyone kind enough to help me out.  Since it's been over 40 yrs that I took welding class in high school, and since I've lost the instructions to my O/A set, what is the acetylene pressure and oxygen setting for brazing or welding?  I understand from a thread that I read the pressure settings for cutting but I want to weld and braze.  Also, are the wire feed welders that the home improvement stores sell worth their cost?I would appreciate any help!BeetleManYesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift-that's why it's called the present!
Reply:Try this one. As always all settings are approximate. Also, are the wire feed welders that the home improvement stores sell worth their cost?
Reply:not sure about the O/A info. as for the wirefeed welders, if i understand correctly the lincoln 135/175 are the same as the 135/175 SP series (not the plus model, which i would suggest paying the little extra for).what brand wirefeed are you refering to?
Reply:LuzRD, some of the welders offered at the local Home Depot in my area sell several models of welders and I must confess I don't know the names just now.  They range in price is the high 100,s to almost five hundred.  Some come without gas and some do.  I think the heaviest things I would be welding would be Class C hitches and attatchments for them. (Bike racks, cargo carriers that slip into the receiver etc.)  All of this would be for personal use only.  I am not very good with my Lincoln stick welder but can do the job with it if I have to.  Would like to succeed at oxy/acetylene welding and maybe would't even need to buy a wire feed.BeetleManYesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift-that's why it's called the present!
