That's a great mod; really ingenious! On another YT video, someone replaced the original three bladed fan with a square framed, high speed fan, which provides improved cooling...Is that something you've considered? I wonder if such a mod would improved the duty cycle....what do you think?

Thanks for posting.

@rlewis1946 no i have not thought about a fan upgrade i have not had any problems with it getting hot or overheating

Not putting down your video just thought it was funny that you made your cart out of wood instead of metal.

@piker70 the wood was free and metal is expensive so why not

Do you worry about the wire grounding out to the case? The wire is positively charged while welding with gas, would cause a spark show? Maybe a rubber grommet would be a good addition?

@s010038 no its fine its been like that for over a year now havent had a problem with it
