So, I'm building another dirty little secret (LandCruiser), and wanted to get opinions on whether I ought to preheat the frame prior to welding in the new motor mounts? I'll be stick welding it since my vert TIG is still lacking...Some of my room mates (my brother's shop):Soon to be a VERY dirty little secret .ThermalArc 185MillerMatic 180 w/ AutosetVictor Cutskill Oxy/AcetyleneThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 38and spite!
Reply:Practice your vert TIG a little more. It's no different than horizontal TIG. If you do go with stick, no preheat is necessary, that's for thick metal and castings.
