Reply:Lincoln, Miller and Zena have some good project plans for welding tables.
Reply:What sorts of projects do you have in mind? 3 years in school welding should give you some idea what process you want, Mig, tig, stick so we don't have to sit and guess. Even if the machines are not new you should have some idea. You haven't narrowed down the field at all..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:Not up to date as in not workin to the standard in which they should be. I want Mig and I was reading a couple threads and it seems 220v? Sounds good.
