Did a little welding job for my brother yesterday and was having issues with burn back into the nozzle accompanied by some vibrations in the torch.

Turns out the liner was to blame. Seeing as the 3m MB25 torch on the MIG always seemed a little short I got a 4m replacement from a local welding supplies

Did you get a couple of new liners for the torch as well? I have spare liners for my two torches one for aluminium welding and one stainless. saves having to stop welding if a liner goes tit sup

Shame it's not a sandcast, imagine the backlash if you modified one of those

Been wanting to add this to my rig for a few years. Finally decided to bite the bullet. Anyone wanna buy some old mpcs. Gotta sell to fund it.

Dropped into my favourite scrap yard today and came out with these...mixer now running perfect after a carb clean, wacker plate runs but sounds like it needs the same treatment.

@nickk whats the verdict, I’ve got 5 of the besseys but could do with a few more, they look like they should be as good…and are half the price.

After some use,I’ve realised there trickier one handed than G cramps.
