Good call on having a dedicated air arc machine. I have to be honest though, if I never hear that screeching crap again it will be to soon. I don't mind doing it but hate having to listen to someone else do it.
I can't arc gouge without ear plugs. That is a sound that no one should have to listen to. As a matter of fact that is all I'll be doing for the next 2 days... Awesome... :-(
When my dad was working in the refineries in the early 80s, he would arc gouge inside 40"+ pipe with no hearing protection. I dont know how he did that?! Or why?

Holy smokes! Can he hear at all now? I use dual hearing protection when I have to air arc a bunch. When the damn welders come over to the Cat House to do welding I still have to listen to it once in awhile.
I don't have to do it much anymore, just a bearing race here or there, no more bucket rebuilds. I like to weld, just not full time. I do most of Cat's welding updates at the mine.

I have about 15 hours on the new welder, all I can say is WOW! Being able to turn the amps up and control the arc is amazing. Still fine tuning the exact amp/arc control settings but this thing rips.
Almost no spatter and I'm running a lot hotter than I did on the old machine. If anyone is in the market for a new welder/generator the Vantage Series is well worth the money.
