Haha, well, I have the welder now and it has been a learning experience!
Odd thing though: I had a brand new s-size bottle of argon and used the regulator they sent with it.
I didn't look at units and set the dumb thing to roughly 40cfh and had a heck of a time welding thinwall stuff (duh).
But after probably 6 hrs of on/off welding/grinding/farting around, I ran out of gas.
Would having the flow rate set to double still burn through all that gas in that amount of time?
I did notice that when I touch the pedal, I hear a sizable hiss coming from the upper back part of the machine.
Maybe its time to take it apart...
