This piece is designed to help you understand how stick welders works, what features are in the best stick welder, and a few great choices of machines that are suitable for both professionals and beginners.

Investing in the best welding respirator is necessary for every professional, amateur, and hobbyist welder. It is mostly because welding exposes you to a lot of damaging gasses and fumes emitted while welding.

Great work! I would omit sending the "%" sign though because I know the numbers are in percent and not other units. I can save some bandwidth this way.

Thanks, it's my first windows app and it looks that it's not leaking memory or cpu. Been running it for days now.
