converting a mig welder to a plasma cutter
« on: May 03, 2010, 01:31:04 PM »
 :welcome:  I have seen somewhere on the net in thr past how to pull some parts from a microwave and pull some other parts from the donor welder and do some minor swaping around and have a plasma cutter has anyone else seen this or is it eve possible  it would have to be done with the welders that are setup for gas  so that you can use it to hook to the air compressor.

I dont think I am dreaming this up    or am I ???
