   lining came out with my hand I really liked the Vulcan welding gloves as   
   well.  Better than most other welding gloves I've used.   
      
   P.P.S  On a largish weld out a few years ago where my son and I were tag   
   teaming a project with two welders I actually hit the duty cycle on the   
   Miller 212 a couple times.  Because I had ignorantly butted up against   
   that with lighter machines in the past I finally was able to recognize   
   it when it happened.  In some of the hobby groups I have had people tell   
   me I should never hit the duty cycle on that machine because you are   
   always stopping to cut, grind, cleanup, etc.  The thing is with a good   
   MIG weld there is very little cleanup to do, and we had tacked up the   
   entire project in one go.  When we started welding it was non stop.  For   
   people who may not know on some (many?) machines they will shut down   
   when they overheat.  The thing is they often (always in my case) start   
   welding badly before they shut down.  I found when welds were running   
   just fine, nothing had changed, and then it started welding badly and   
   destabilizing it was running up against its duty cycle and needed to   
   cool down.  Its hard to stop when you are in the groove, but you have to.
