At least now you have a sweet tubing notcher, just notch out another tube and keep practising those aluminum welds! lol What did you have to do for the height adjustment?

Pete

Defiantly a gas coverage problem, have you tried turning up your cfm on your regulator while using that setup?

Keep at it Chips, you'll get there. Looks a heck of a lot better than your first welds that you posted.


Pete

Damn! Fieldres has got some major pipe welding skills!!

Pete

What do you have your machine set at, freq. balance, amps. argon cfh? how thick is the plate your welding?

Wow! Nice looking project you have going on there, you should have some nice low end grunt on tap. 1 ton up front should be about unbreakable. Are you going with a locker also?

Pete

Not sure where you live, but I always sent mine to a place in Grand Blanc Michigan to get sharpened. just google cold saw blade sharpening.


Pete

Wish I was going! Sounds like a good time...


Pete

That stuff does work well, a friend and I are home brewers. He has a Nano Stout 3V setup mine is a Spike system we both use Bar Keepers to clean the kettles, never thought to use it to clean welds. Always learning something around here!!

Welcome

Sure is a fine looking cart

Pete

Looking good man! Practice pays off..

I'd look for a good ole Syncrowave 250 new or used, Iv'e had a couple of those and they are nearly bullet proof...

Beautiful work Rick

Lol, good luck on your Dynabrade wearing out, at least anytime soon. I've had their pneumatic version for years and it still performs as new, have one of their pneumatic DA polishers too bought used from a local plant that was using it 7 days a week, still going strong!...

My Gawd,
I'd love to here that bad boy run!

Beautiful Table

Awesome looking table

I'll have to give that try, thanks for the tip Steve. :) Pete ... I have tried putting bolts in before, in stainless, they gall (i think its called) and your screwed... The trick is not to use a stainless bolt in a stainless thread. A yellow Zinc Chromate bolt with never-seize or Maalox on it will r...

We use that to clean AC coils, works!

Hi Jay,
If it works like a dream I would just use it as is. I have a older yet Miller Spectrum 2050 and looked into to up grading the torch but didn't think that the cost was worth it..

Pete

Glad your feeling better, I went through some tuff times a couple of years ago when I found out I had a brain tumor and had to have brain surgery. Fortunately for me I kept all my gear, lol. Still can't seem to get my mojo back but I'm not giving up.. Have fun with all your new toys!

Pete

Beautiful work Sam.
