My welder arrived last week. Haven’t used it yet, though…it requires a single-phase 30A service. I don’t have that. Currently I have three-phase circuits plus lower-amperage single phase supply. The electrician is going to come in Saturday morning and add a 30A single circuit to my workshop. As well, the plug Lincoln uses (NEMA 6-50 P/R) is not standard in Singapore. So I’ll have to change that connector to the Singapore standard.

If the plug does not fit, you must acquit.

In the meantime, I have other issues to sort out. For one, assembling a bunch of precision tooling jigs I received from Maine after a couple months’ wait. It’s an even more interesting task given that there are no reference materials.

a lot of pieces
Many, many pieces inside that box

Anwyay, if I am lucky, by next weekend (a three-day weekend!) I’ll be melting metal.
