I didnt say there was anything wrong with your arm. I said that WELDING is all in the arm. THAT MEANS... If you can weld, Then you can weld....If you Can't weld, Then you can't weld. Ever heard the saying "It all happens between the shoulder and the holder " ? I really does not have alot to do with the machine. So calm down Poindexter. Everything will be ok. But on the otherhand, When reading your post, it seems as though you might just have a chip on your shoulder.
