[Shop-talk] resistance (tong type) spot welders

[Mike Rambour]

 I was going to say "you have never heard of Miller?" but thought I 
should re-read the Eastwood ad before I said that, you are right, I have 
never heard of Millweld either and a quick google search says I am not 
the only one, ok scratch that one.  Back to name brand or HF.  By the 
way another off-list reply was since I have a MIG why not use that ? 
good question but my friends tell me that with the way I use MIG on thin 
sheet metal I will never need a plasma cutter, nuff said :)

 Proud of my TIG abilities and I can do sheet metal with TIG but I have 
never mastered MIG on thin sheet metal (or should I say not YET 
mastered) and TIG is slow.
