Miller Thunderbolt ac/DC stick welder I bought used off craigslist for 350 bones. When I first struck an arc on the tee, I heard a super load buzz...Even though this machine had a pretty loud buzz, this time it was much louder than usual. I looked at the miller operators manual and saw something called "noise adjustment screws" and I knew that was the problem. These screws had loosened up to the point where the amperage crank wouldn't hold a setting. After I unplugged the machine and tightened the screws a bit, it got a lot quieter.
