Re: Mild steel roll cage etch test
Yes mild steel DOM. I tried 3/32 rod, but it would stick to the puddle like a magnet when dipping. Maybe a little preheat would prevent that. Up your amps if the filler rod is sticking when dabbing. You're much better off with a single pass of the correct rod she than multiple passes. In fact, some...

Re: Mild steel roll cage etch test
There is nothing wrong with that! If you step up to 3/32 rod you could probably do it in 1 pass, save a bunch of time and your HAZ will be much better. Your fillet is not oversized for the material, but a little less won't hurt, any more would be useless or counter productive. I'm assuming this is ...

Mild steel roll cage etch test
I'm new to this roll cage stuff and I want to make sure I'm getting enough penetration for it to be safe. This is a 2 passes with 1/16" er70-2 at 130 max amps but I wasn't full pedal. Mostly between 3/4 and 7/8 pedal. What do you guys think? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170128/e4c5256844b...

Re: Getting it too hot???
First off. The torch that comes with that welder is only good for 150 amps and is only good for short bursts over that. By walking the cup at that amperage you were severely overheating the torch head

Re: Filler rod suggestions needed. Mild steel to 4130
It is a 67 coupe. I went to make some shakedown passes with a whole new suspension, engine and drivetrain setup and was only able to make 2 passes before they kicked me out. It ran 11.4 @128mph. I didnt even get a chance to launch it hard.

Filler rod suggestions needed. Mild steel to 4130
I am in the process of welding up a roll cage in my car and have these connectors that are made out of solid 4130 that need to be welded to my mild steel .120 wall dom tubing. Which filler rod would be best for this application? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161111/a6b39cb5c1e46886313ae59b6f0d96...

Re: Lincoln SW 200 Purchase Questions
The post flow does seem to be a major gripe with this machine. It is interesting to note that pretty much the same post flow arrangement is used in the Miller Diversion series: "Postflow is preset for one second for every ten amps of output, with a minimum of eight seconds for DC or AC." ...

Re: Lincoln SW 200 Purchase Questions
I am very happy with mine. The only thing i dont like about it is how much gas it wastes on the postflow with no ability to adjust.

Re: Made this oil catch can over the weekend
I wish I could see any of the pictures... I'm going to have to look at building a catch can myself. I've been using an old Mobil 1 quart bottle with a hose dropped in it to catch venting oil from my TDI burping past the EGR valve actuator... It could use a little refinement! If you are on instagram...
