Foxy, I think portable wire fed welding systems were well in use in manufacturing by the 1920's.
I didn't beat out anyone. I just demonstrated for management that one man can burn an entire can of rod in one shift. And delivery quality. I couldn't breath afterwards, but I burnt the whole can down to 2" stubs. I was an idiot.
Use the right tool for the job. An Ln-8 or Ln-25 has deposition rates miles beyond any kind of rod.
I'm looking forward to playing with my new micro-tig set up. I want to seam weld inside 1/2" tubes. I wonder why I'd want to do that? I just need to get some bench time.
