Re: Bobcat question.

Thank you.

I am not the kind of person that likes to do things the quick and easy way. haha

After a traumatic brain injury in 03, I am like a robot. haha

Bobcat question.

So, I have a Bobcat 250. It has, maybe 30 hours use. I’ve not really used it this year. I hurt my back lifting something. I went to let it run yesterday. It says the gas is full. Yet, when I look at the tank, I see nothing in it from the side. But, I went to turn it on and had no luck. First, it mad...

Re: Roll bender

I just ordered a JET SR-2236 36 inch Slip Roll. The thing is expensive and huge. haha But, it will allow me to work with bar as well as sheets. I wonder, can I get different sized link rods? That would allow me to bend sizes other than that with which I can as it comes. I am going to do a setup vide...

Re: Roll bender

Thanks for the information.

I like those. They are small.

I am going to try a few things first. haha

I have to get some washers, so the freaking rollers don't move all over the place.

Re: Roll bender

That is true. However, I watched a video with Kevin C on youtube. He rolled something, took it out, welded the two ends and them put it back in the machine and rolled again. Thus, making a perfect circle. But, that thing costs thousands of dollars. haha

Roll bender

Could anyone recommend, a good roll bender? I want to make a cannon of sorts. I had round bar. I got 80 3/8 thick, 8 foot long bars and 80 of a thicker size. I tried using a cheap Harbor Freight tube bender. I mean, it did bend. But, since the thing moves that holds the metal, it was uneven. Also, t...

Re: Welding classes.

The tests have 50 questions and you have 90 minutes to finish the test.

Welding classes.

So, I dig learning. Actually, since having a brain injury in 03, I always wondered if I could still learn. I taught myself to sew, sing and weld. So, I was happy to find I could. However, I did those things on my own time. It has been like 17 years since I was in school. I was thinking of taking cla...

No luck

So, I can not mig weld. Every time I go to do so, another problem comes up. I was getting a bundle of wire in the suitcase. I thought the liner was to big. It was 0.45-1/16. The wire I was using was 0.35 flux core. I ordered the right liner. They sent me the wrong one. I ordered another. It arrived....

Re: Bobcat 250 and Suitcase x treme 12vs.

I found the reason I even had that idea in my head. This is on a site I was looking at. "Do you have the 12VS connected to the negative terminal (Ground) of the Bobcat? Your work clamp will come off the positive terminal. That's the way I use it on my Trailblazer." It made no sense to me. ...

I mean, the electrode part. I am so worn out today. I wrote those down and drew this picture. No clue if it is corr...

Bobcat 250 and Suitcase x treme 12vs.

I hooked my Suitcase to my Bobcat 250. The Suitcase would not power on. It is new. I got a 5 foot cable, to allow me room to sit the Suitcase down, after it is hooked to the Bobcat. Any idea on why the thing will not turn on? I have never used a Suitcase before. But I thought, you hook it up, it com...

I got a Miller Suitcase x treme 12 vs. It comes with a Bernard BTB 300 amp gun. I asked miller what was the smallest wire I could use. I would also need the liner things. They said the smallest they have is 0.35. So I wonder, does that mean that another company has smaller wire for that gun, or is i...

Here are new picture I took, to send to Miller and Cyberweld. Now, look at these and tell me the thing isn't broken. There is no way this will work.
