These 5 automatic/mechanized welding equipment suppliers are about the best in the world, for both GTAW and GMAW processes.

Rafael,
Not trying to mean or anything, but if you hate doing your homework perhaps another trade would suit you better. I love doing my homework. In fact, I think thats what I like best about welding engineering. Homework and learning more.

For all the posters, specially for js55, fredspoppy and ssbn727.
Good morning. At first i want to thank you. Your information on Orbital Welding was so important. In the other hand, I want to apologize; I should HAVE write HAVE, not HATE.
It was a mistake that changes all.
I love to do my homework and I love to study. Please forgive and forget.
Thank you again.
