Hi. I've never welded before, but need to learn for a few bits and pieces around the workshop and so on (do a lot of woodwork, need some timber racks, machine trolleys, etc and then may start building some metalwork into furniture).
Anyway, I picked up this machine through a mate, not that I can find much out about it. Anyone enlighten me?
Anyway, before I get to trying this thing out, do I need to change the tip and shield on this torch? They look knackered to me, but then I'm used to shiny chisels and stuff.
If so, how do you get the shield off, generally? I tried twisting and it doesn't want to come off easily, so I stopped before I risked breaking it.
Then there's the seemingly thorny gas issue - anyone know a rent-free bottle supplier in SE London or thereabouts?
