Little bit of brain teaser this one. How to plug this hole in the lawn roller. Constraints: [u]no welding options available.[/u] This thing is at least 50 years old. It owes me nothing and I'm ready to throw it out. But maybe I can get a little more life out of it. Things I tried...JB Weld, Inserting a screw. Problem on hand. It must clear the sweep bar. About less than a 1/4 inch. I drilled out the hole to a clean round shape, about 1/2 dia Who can come up with an idea? I just realized I can raise the sweep bar up just little for more clearance.

Hello, I would like to buy a cheap AC/DC Tig welder for my nephew to start practicing. I am set on buying a Stahlwerk welder, as based on my research their devices, despite being made in China, go through better quality control and have 7 years warranty and good customer service. Now I need to decide between two models, the "Pulse D": [url]https://www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete.de/en/TIG-AC/DC-Welders-with-Pulse/AC/DC-TIG-200-Pulse-D-IGBTshtml[/url] Or the "Pulse ST": [url]https://www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete.de/en/TIG-AC/DC-Welders/Welder-STAHLWERK-AC/DC-TIG-200-PULSE-ST-IGBThtml[/url] The differences between the machines are: Pulse D is newer design, has more functions: - AC sine wave, gas flow, and arc width/shape are all adjustable - It has memory for 10 setups - it has Spot welding function (which is important to make lithium Ion batteries). BUT it doesn't have pedal support, and it won't be added for at least a couple of years. I would love to buy him a model he can grow into with advanced features, but I also know pedal control is very beneficial to use and learn. I would appreciate your input. Thanks!
