Due to my vision I can no longer tig weld. I an looking for recommendations for a tig welder to weld on Mauser, etc. bolt handles. I am also looking for a micro welder for small parts. I need someone with reasonable prices and turn around time but most of all I need a quality weld. All recommendations welcome. If you don't want to post you can PM me. Thanks, James Bennett Bennett's Gun Works | ||

You will not find a better or more knowledgable TIG welder than Peter Nagel. A great guy and a superb welder. Steve | |||

Gentlemen, Thank you for your reply's. I had contacted Peter some time back and he was not interested in welding on bolt handles. As for the smaller parts he might do them now. I have not contacted Dennis Olson, but I will. James | |||

Have you tried a welding helmet with magnifying inserts? ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Hi Ted, The problem with my eyes has been going on for the last several years. When I start to weld my eyes will not focus and I get double vision. Yes, I initially thought the problem was my helmet. I tried magnifying inserts. I then went to a high end helmet. I have set the shade to max, the sensitivity to max and the delay to minimum. Nothing that I have tried has worked to any degree. My optometrist cant find anything but severe dryness. I have another appointment in mid March for more testing. Thanks James | |||

I wear 2.5 readers and I use a 2x insert in my helmet My darkness is set to 8 for most of my welding and I use a very bright LED light over my welding bench....as we age our eyes require more light. I once could TiG anything with my God given eyes....now I need a lot of magnification. I use a 25/40x auto dark microscope for my very small work these days. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

I to use 2.5 readers and a 2.5 in my helmet. I have a led over my bench and a overhead dental light that I focus on the weld area. I have cataracts on both eyes but they won't remove them at this time. James | |||

Why can't you get your eye's fixed? I had lenses put in both of my eyes two years ago at 49 years old ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Ted, Several reasons. One, the 2 optometrist that I have seen will not OK it. They can not figure out what is causing my problem as I describe. They have me on medication orally, eye drops and an eye lid wash. Other reasons are age, heart disease, diabetes, along with a host of other medical problems. James | |||
