+1 for Aaron, that guy lays down some amazing beads, most all with 1/8th electrodes ...

Yah no doubt, looks like yours is pretty robust with some of those landings you were doing with it. I have since switched over to 1/4 scale wheels and tires, kept blowing the 1/5th scale tires off the rims. the rear control arms are made from 1/2" thick aluminum. This car would be destroyed if ...

Nice project Werner, and even better finger control on those flips. :) The last time I tried that I landed one of buggies on it's roof, to heavy on the brakes lol. The last truck I did was a 5th scale Losi5ive, didn't do any welding on it but had a custom chassis made to set the motor back a couple ...

Damn! 5th.. Nice work Man.. Makes me want ti get out there and practise some more, and more, and more.. LOl

When I made my table I welded the frame and had planned on welding the 1/2" top to it, When I went to my local metal supply and they loaded it with a fork truck I thought maybe I don't need to weld it. lol So I didn't and for 15 years or so it hasn't moved unless I want it moved..

I couldn't weld as good as 6061 "Aaron" in my dreams, guy has skills!

Have you guys heard about ESAB's new rebel coming out? AC/DC Tig, stick, and mig? Sounds like quite the all purpose machine. Who's ever going to Fabtech please check it out and fill us in..

I have a cold wire feeder by CK, not familiar with what looks to be a Hot wire feeder. Should be sweet once you get it figured out.. What model did you guys get?

Pete

Nice looking work 5th! You definitely have nice consistant looking beads goin On..

Pete

The current lineup of Lorch are very nice power supplies. Hope you get it figured out and repaired..

What welder are you using? Specs.?

Looks great Warren, I hate compound angles!

Cart looks good, funny it seems a welding cart is always the first welding project..

I'll say it is, must be nice to have a roof and walls done. I'm jealous..

And make sure your aluminum is clean, clean, clean... hold a tight arc and watch your torch angle.

Take some scotch brite and some acetone and use to clean your filler rod then a paper towel your likely see quite a bit of black marks left on the paper toweling, and has CJ mentioned watch your torch angle and arc distance.

Not sure if you purchased yet, but you might want to check out Esab's Rebel, I've heard some good things on those also. My garage is filled with mostly blue boxes but I do have one of ESAB's first gen inverters that I bought back in the early 90's SVI300I and a MIG 4HD and It does have a very sweet ...

I just replaced my 4 x 6 with a Ellis 1600 and it is taller than the old saw. When I had bought the 4 x6 years ago I made a rolling stand out of 1" angle and welded 4 locking swivel castors to it, never measured but I'm sure it raised it at least 3"

Good info, thanks Dave..

Can you cut the ones you have down to size for your saw?

CK Trim line 300, CK 230 Flex, and weldtec 20 series.. I use the 230 the most..

On my Miller the AC balance set the EN, I usually run around 70- 75 EN, I'm pretty sure a quick look in your manual verify whether your changing EN or EP, if my memory serves Everlast machines set by EP so you might want to try setting of 25 or 30. You'll know real quick if this is not the case. :) ...

Welcome, hope your staying dry down there.

I just bought a new band saw and just bought a adjustable roller stands to feed longer material, works perfect..

I've always used Tillmans for Tig welding, but the last time I bought a pair of gloves I tried Millers and I will have to say they are quite comfortable.
