$50 Rebate on Lincoln Auto-Darkening Helmets
Between now and December 31st, Lincoln Electric is offering a $50 rebate on its most popular auto-darkening welding helmets. Stop by your local Airweld, Atlantic Welding or Bronx Welding branch to check out the helmets and find out more about this exciting fourth quarter offer!
Our question this month comes from Philip C. of Hauppauge. He asks:
Dear Answerman: The other day, I told one of my welders to reposition his ground clamp and he corrected me, saying that it is called a work clamp and not a ground clamp. I've been welding for thirty years and have always called this a ground clamp. Who is right?

Dear Philip: Actually, your welder is! Some of the expressions and slang used over the years in the welding industry are actually misused. In electrical terms, the word "ground" implies an electrical connection to the earth. In a welding circuit, the "ground" is actually the work connection. Welding manufacturers are now labeling this side of the connection on their power supplies as "work" and the clamps are work clamps. Give your welder an "A" for accuracy!

Do you have a question for the Airweld Answerman? Email your question to theanswerman@airweld.net and if your question is selected, you will win an Airweld t-shirt. Thanks to Philip for his question.
