Ever done insurance work in a domestic situation.Your missing my point, people don’t seem to offer a service anymore, they want you to buy a new item, throw away society, and if they take a job on, there is no pride in it. I’m not blaming anybody, i am an engineer/ maintenance person, I repair the odd wheelchair and take great pride when returning it to the customer, cleaned and repaired. A friend asked me to look at some tiling in his house today, it was an insurance claim and the ‘profesionals’ Had been in. I’ve never seen anything like it! Shocking, and they had already been asked to start again. They also scratched his stairs by wearing muddy boots to use his upstairs loo!
I was running late and made it to howdens with minutes to spare to pick up flooring for the next day.You have to be kidding me?!?!? I did exactly the same thing 4 months ago ( ripped the side door off my van/vw) although my 11yr old did open the door again as I was pulling away to make sure it was shut properly.... so technically it’s his fault. I told him it was mine though because he was distraught

Hi all,
Any advice is sincerely appreciated, I have a small business building bespoke wheelchairs, I rely heavily on my stamos ac/dc 200p tig welder. It has been a great set with faultless performance over the last two years, however I got careless the other day and touched the glowing tungsten onto my grinder cable, sending 240v back into the welder
The O.C ( open circuit?) light comes on when I press the torch in tig mode, or on permanently in MMA mode and the welder doesn’t work. I have checked the continuity of the leads and they are fine.
Has anyone made this error before? Can anyone help? I don’t currently have the cash flow for another decent welder so my fingers are crossed!
Thanks
Tomk
or just getting by until then.
.........I also know of someone who bought a faulty one off fleabay and then bought a new one from a big welding supplier in europe then he opened both welders and swapped bits over basically fitting new welder into old welder carcass. he then sent it away for repair under warranty, took about a whole month to be fixed though but he had the other one to use ! I believe it was repaired somewhere in Holland as it had tags on when it came back in the box...
I am just saying. You paid your pound of flesh when you got the machine, i am not saying its right but could be done...large corporations deal with this kind of repairs everyday...most times they are counting on slippage so you don't get your gear repaired on time ! Misplaced receipts printed on thermal paper who goes blank after a while is done just for that purpose !Mhhh, I'm sufficiently old-fashioned to think that's a form of 'theft', at best dishonest.
