(And I broke out my Dayton buzz-box this past weekend for welding up some 16ga galvanized steel to make a new riser for our water meter cover. I had it down to minimum (about 60 A) and wish it went still lower. Welding the galvanized to the 1/4" steel plate that covers most of the meter pit was difficult. It was the first time I had welded in 20 years. Looks like it, too, but it's not going anywhere.)
