Re: "Precision" Gunsmith Welding
Thank you all so much! I'm heading out to the shop now to get some practice in! Thank you all again! I'll post pics soon! Let's see some updated pics, as Steve said a 1/16" 2% thoriated tungsten will handle up to 150 amps, if you're welding a lot near the upper limit (of a 1/16" tung) the...

Re: trouble keeping edges on a part
Steve I'm surprised you didn't mention me after he made the shot in the foot reference!!! I've also found that welding a small section from just inside the corner to the edge first, on both edges helps as well. It's not necessarily the most aesthetic way to do it, but you can do it before you get a...

Re: Filler rod for standard exhaust pipe
The ideal way would be to purge if you can, make sure the joint is free of all contaminates (ID and OD), clean back a good 3/8" from the joint.Blaze659 wrote:Thanks fellas! Would the 309 require purging to stay strong or would it be fine without for standard exhaust pipe?
