An air-carbon arc system for reducing irregularities in a work piece surface including a control box, a torch head operationally connected to the control box and configured to cooperate with the work piece to generate an arc, and a pendant operationally connected to the control box and having a means for reducing irregularities in the work piece surface.

Air-carbon arc system and apparatus for detecting and/or reducing irregularities in a work piece surface and method of using the same

An attachment device for use in connecting a conductor tube to a handle of a welding gun is provided that includes an adapter disposed proximate the handle of the welding gun, wherein the adapter defines a plurality of radially spaced receiving portions. A conductor tube is disposed adjacent the adapter, and the conductor tube defines at least one extension disposed near a proximal end portion of the conductor tube. The plurality of radially spaced receiving portions are adapted for engagement by the extension of the conductor tube such that the conductor tube can be repositioned relative to the handle of the welding gun.

Repositionable attachment device for welding gun conductor tubes

A conductor tube for use in a welding gun, and preferably a MIG welding gun, is provided that includes a plurality of flex joints. The flex joints include a body defining a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, a cap secured to the proximal end portion of the body, and an extension mounted within the distal end portion of the body, the extension being repositionable within the body. The body, the extension, and the cap are adapted for attachment to each other and to adjacent components of the welding gun. Additionally, a conductor tube for use in a welding gun includes a plurality of thermally and electrically conductive elements secured to each other and extending along a length of the conductor tube, wherein the elements are independently repositionable relative to each other.
