I'm not sure how they work the billing. I think they normally pay out relatively quickly once they receive invoices, but not sure.
I didn't really put a timeframe on this, but this dragged out for several months.
that is an oddly specific machine. what the fuck would you use it for other than cutting key ways? Also a horizontal mill is more versatile than that thing and can do its job.

This is for home, better than the shitbox we have at work too.
I need a bottle of Argon at home so bad right now...
I like to use arc on thicker stuff. I don't know if I have a good reason for that, but I just feel more confident with arc on heavy shit but maybe that's because I did that first. I also use arc for anything outdoors so I don't have to worry about the gas blowing away.
One question I hear occasionally, is someone wanting to sub a Blueprint Reading course that is specific to Welding, for one that is in the Electrical program. Or maybe out of the CIMM program.I instruct class twice a month for welders and fitters on how to read shop drawings for the fitters at a community college.
The only thing a welder should know how to read is a procedure sheet and welding symbols. Most shops that I work with don't give the welder drawings. It's tacked and the welder gets a small sheet with the welding procedure and the symbol at most.
Reading shop drawings is for fitters and qa.
