Arc Welding

Hello Everyone
Hope Y'all feel as good or better than I. I've had my PM nine months now and thank the Good Loard every day.
What do Y'all know about arc welding with a PM. I have an Airco AC stick weder which I have need to use. My Doc said I should be OK to weld but so far I've been chicken to try.
Thanks
Dean

Welding in general is ok but we are usually told not to arc weld. However, members have done it successfully. If you do a search, the old posts should come right up.

Im a journey man Iron worker for the power company who just got my PM on 9-11-15.

I talked with my Doc about welding and he told me it depends on the PM make and model and what amps you're welding at.

Also if you go on miller's welding site you'll find a lot of good info on there about welding with a PM...

I myself am done with welding/ironwork and will be relaxing in the comfort of the crane cab flying iron,
Time to let my young union bothers have the fun now...

God bless, be safe....

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
