Welding Industry′s First Welding Blog Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has created the industry′s first welding blog where industry experts present technical advice on a wide range of topics. Miller invites people who work in the manufacturing, fabrication or construction welding industry to share their views on issues affecting their business, or on the welding industry in general. The Miller blog is called Viewpoints, and you can participate by going to www.MillerWelds.com/Results/blog. Viewpoints welding blog postings include topics such as strategies to pair engine drives with inverters on construction job sites to cut costs, how to increase TIG welding production by 50%, why rust will appear on stainless steel, when it makes sense to spend more on consumables and many more. The Viewpoints blog is developed to create thought-provoking discussions that prompt people to look at their welding businesses in a new light. We post new topics regularly, so you can keep up with the welding industry's most important issues.
