Jigging it up

admin

I am building a  jig around a turbo manifold I had designed so I can recreate it later on.  Its big steel (1/2" plate and I think 3/4" square bar..).I know I am welding with hardly enough power, but I am limited to 125A so I am having to make multiple passes.  But, in doing so, I am getting the hang of walking the cup:Jiggin' it by Jon Kensy, on FlickrJiggin' it by Jon Kensy, on FlickrNot too concerned with penetration other than wanting it to hold shape.  The goal is to locate the turbo flange with respect to the head flange, which this should do just fine.Miller Diversion 180Hobart Handler 140 (Soon to be replaced with Miller 211?)Miller Spectrum 625 Extreme
