We are looking to go beyond the basics of “get comfortable” and “keep practicing” and give our readers fresh, practical advice that will help them be better welders and metal fabricators. Whether it’s something you learned on the job, in school or just figured out yourself. If you have a tip, a technique, a tool or a trade secret that you’d be willing to share, we want to give you the platform to share it!

Feel free to submit more than one tip, but please be as specific and detailed as possible. The more details you provide, the more likely we are to use your tip.. If we do use your submission, we'll send you a FREE ARC Magazine T-shirt! MORE.

Lincoln Electric Engine Drive Lasts Through the Decades

=

Ben Knepper knows that "new" does not always mean "better". Knepper decided to purchase a used 1947 Lincoln Electric SA-200 engine-driven welder, after he was first introduced to the model by his grandfather. As a pipe welding student in the Lincoln Electric welding school, Knepper decided to bring his machine into class to see how it would hold up against some of the newer engine-driven models. The SA-200 has a consistently smooth performance, even after decades of use . "I have had to make a couple of adjustments, but for the most part it has been welding beautiful. I have been using it in class for the last couple of days, and the instructors have been liking it, too" said Knepper.
