Reply:Nice feeder, are you getting one of these ? What power supply do you guys use ?

says you need to hold trigger for 5 seconds until arc is established . Maybe hold trigger a little longer ?good luckAirco 250 ac/dc Heliwelder Square waveMiller Synchrowave 180 sdMiller Econo Twin HFLincoln 210 MPDayton 225 ac/dcVictor torchesSnap-On YA-212Lotos Cut60DPrimeweld 225 ac/dcPrimeweld mig180Miller AEAD-200

Reply:i wouldnt want something that dont turn when i let go, but i wouldnt want my front finger holding it either.     id try to extend the trigger,  mine is so my  flipper or ring finger can hold it.      shouldnt be too hard to adhere/fix something on there, like this   https://www.ebay.com/itm/37376208430...3ABFBM7N3E5p9g
Reply:Dude asks a simple question about a commonly used feature, and y'all tell him it's a bad idea and to do something else instead

Moto, did you check the 5 second thing?I have a LOT of time for XMTs. Such a sweet MIG arc. Not sure how they got that machine so "right" but they did... somehowMurphy's Golden Rule: Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.
