Philip said something about his heart doctor not liking him tig welding....he used a big word so i had to google it

 

my neighbor got yelled at by his cardioligist because he is always working in his shop with a pacemaker in his heart. apparently thats a big no no im told??? he has 4 stents in his heart and they say bending over an electronic controled engine can "demagnitize" the stents. im sure they would froun apon tig welding.

 

Any form of welding to be exact. The amp limit for welding is 90 amps. Shoot I use higher settings than that to just tack weld.

 

Do what ? ? ? ? ?

Welding sets up extremely powerful electromagnetic fields - Place a compass about 3 feet from a welder and then have someone watch it while you weld....
The fields not only can - they will stop a pacemaker...Not a good idea.

 

Dang it Philip be carfull i want to meet you while your still in a vertical position

Dar

 

The only time I weld now is if. I have to have a known very good quality weld.

I did the welding on the trans mount for my G56. I didn't trust the person for that type of weld. I had a 220 volt 225 amp mig set on kill.

 

did you say you have a pacemaker???

 

Holy crap! It ain't worth it man!

 

I think Philip has a lead apron he wears when he's welding

 

Yeah, and it ain't a heart attack looming but mad hatter's disease!
