Equipment
This is the core equipment I use to work on projects. I also have portable bandsaws, chop saws, angle grinders, and many more tools I use on job sites, along with a number of other tools like drill presses at my shop. These are just my major pieces of equipment I use.
Welder
Miller Electric Multimatic 220 AC/DC
Can be used for AC and DC TIG (for mild and stainless steel, and aluminum), MIG, Flux Core, and Stick.
Can be used on both 110-120 volt or 220-250 volt power
TIG
The machine can do carbon “mild” steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in thicknesses from 18 gauge (.0478”, 1.214 mm) to 1/4” (6.35 mm).
I use mainly ERS70S-2 for mild, 308 for stainless, and 4043 for aluminum.
MIG/Flux core
It can do mild steel from 18 (.0478”, 1.214 mm) gauge to 1/2”+ (12.7 mm+).
I mainly use .030” ERS70S-6 wire for MIG, and .035” E71G-TS for flux core.
Stick
It is capable of welding mild steel from 1/8” (3.175 mm) to 1/2”+ (12.7 mm+).
I use mainly 6010 and 7018 rods.
Plasma Cutter
Hypertherm Powermax 45 XP
Can be used to cut any conductive material up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, pierce holes up to 3/8 inch (.95 cm), and gouge up to 7.5 lbs/h (3.4 kg/h) with a .26”x .12” (6.8mm x 3.2mm) groove. Uses 22o volt power supply.
Air Compressor
Puma 5.5 HP 20 Gallon Gasoline Portable Air Compressor
11 cfm @90 psi, 135 max psi.
I also have a portable air dryer, and air lubricator unit to run my air tools with. The majority of my equipment is also equipped with Milton high flow fittings.
Generator
Predator 9000 Watt Portable Gasoline Generator
9000 watt max, 7250 continuous output, can produce both 120 and 240 volt power.
