pipe vise

admin

saw diehards question about ideas on pipe  vise;1) for some applications you just cant beat a plumbers tristand with a chain..see rigid website..2) see fotos of a piece of angle with a bolt..this is 4 x 1/2  angle ....will hold pipe just under 2" od..for bigger pipe use larger angle..

Reply:nice vise. simple and effective.
Reply:That's pretty neat.  You did a good job of welding the nuts without distorting them.  Sometimes it plays hell with the thread size, and you can't get the bolt back in.  Leaving the bolt in when welding usually does the trick.Don't back over it with your new Grizzly"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:i remember yeara ago when i emptied that can thinking " if i throw it away ill lose the funnel..keep it until you buy a new can.." aint been camping since...my garage has for year been a storage nightmare.. as i began to weld i  began to clear it for space. as i needed more space, i cleaned out more crap. things keep turning up i havent seen since my kids ,  all out of the house, were small...
Reply:We've got a setup just like that on some of our sites, only we've got an attachment for a 45 as well.  We use it for WQTs for small diameter boiler tubes.
Reply:Farmersamm; when welding nuts like that, you just spray the threads of the bolt with WD-40, put the bolt in and weld. The WD catches on fire  but it won't let the nut expand inside. Works every time.
