Question about becoming a certified welder?
Someone (a some what unreliable source) was trying to tell me that you can get certified in each different arc welding rod. Is this true? I thought a certification meant that you can run all the arc welding rods, a tig welder, a mig welder, gas welder, a cutting torch, a plasma cutter, etc.
Also a few years ago I took a welding test that I didn’t pass. The test was 2 v groove butt joint 7018 welds. One was a vertical weld, and one was an overhead. What would I have received If I had passed this test? Would I have received any kind of certification, or just college credit I could use toward a certification?
Thanks for any comments

Does anyone know how many amps a cut 60 plasma cutter draws from 240v mains supply?

I don`t have the unit yet, but I`m considering buying one and want to know if my 32 amp welding socket is enough.

Second CNC Mill video
Here’s another video of about 5:00 minutes long. Sorry about the awful shaking (I was chatting on MSN at the same time). I tried to capture a bit of everything this time, instead of only the cutting.
