1st on WeldingWeb to have a scrolling sig!
Reply:Looks good. If you uh, are going to uh, be making uh a YouTube channel uh for teaching and etc to gather a crowd and uh to earn subscribers uh then you might want to uh not use the word uh so much. Personal opinion, it might not bother some people but I know there are others that it will. Sharing is caring

Reply:Nice video and nice build, having everything on wheels really helps in a smaller shop. It takes alot of work to make decent videos, so I can imagine it probably tripled your project time.The arc shots were great. Looks like a real smooth little welder. Handy is right on the money. It's always so satisfying when the slag comes off whole like that.I agree about watching the "uh"s a bit but it wasn't that huge of a deal to me.One hard learned lesson for me about 45 deg. diagonals was to square up the 90's first, and then use the project itself to mark/transfer the 45deg diagonals.
Reply:Any particular reason why the tanks are closed in on four sides as opposed to the traditional “ three sides and chains” design? I realize the tanks are smallerthan many, but rolling/sliding them in seems mucheasier than lifting them and lowering them in.Miller a/c-d/c Thunderbolt XLMillermatic 180 Purox O/ASmith Littletorch O/AHobart Champion Elite
Reply:Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. Did not notice the uh.As far as design? If foot print of tank changes, they may not fit. Lifting tanks can get old, consider a strap or removable bar? How does it tilt? May need an extension or bent handle?

Reply:A couple years ago several different jobs required diagonals in rectangle. I found it easiest to easiest to mount a temporary clamping system parallel to my horizontal bandsaw blade. Set parallel when the blade is cutting 0 degrees. Then with the saw head set appropriate angle, I could make the second cut in the temporary clamp for its complementary angle.Somebody shared that idea many years ago on this forum. I could not understand what they were describing, then. I thought I had come up with great idea, then realizes that is what was described many years ago
Reply:I don't see the diameter of the Acetylene tanks varying, but the O2 tanks can vary somewhat. I notice this on the tanks I exchange regularly. One thing.........if your LWS has been using 125cf O2 tanks, and switches to 150cf tanks, the diameter can really change.
Reply:Nice job on the video. Clear arc shots and to the point commentary.

Reply:Thanks for sharing the video arc shots and commentary OSCAR Already mentioned by J TConstructive critisizm is welcome in my book, hope your not offended however, as mentioned; grammar is important to weldors as they are smart people also, or too? I learned better typing on WELDINGWEB by Roadscholarer Weldors here. Ok Oscar , critique and dont take it offensive but just why manifold 3 acety tanks wit only one Oxy? I really think its supposed to be the other way. One acety source/manifold with multiple users. Your setup needs more Oxy. Im no expert but I think its wrong if its wrong. No offense and nice cart but also, it should hould mor Oxy than Acety, no?Say, Im thinking of a cart build for rough terrain and like the whhells you used. Wher you get them?

Reply:Oscar, Do you find the acetylene tank pressures self adjust to the same pressure?---Meltedmetal

Reply:How does the manifold make sure the acetylene tanks have the same draw as to prevent one from drawing more or all of the gas while the others are just chilling and have a good laugh. Just being facetious.Lincoln, ESAB, Thermal Dynamics, Victor, Miller, Dewalt, Makita, Kalamzoo. Hand tools, power tools, welding and cutting tools.

Top pic is an oxy manifold. Second pic is oxy/acety for three torches and looks like it could support six torches. I did see for huge amounts welding/cutting your setup would be handy but, I still believe you need more Oxy than Acety. A union iron worker told me a easy to remember rule of thumb is 40psi oxy to 6psi acety is good for cutting iron/steel up to 2 inches. I have to purchase my own gas so I look up what pressures I need and tip size for thickness being cut. For example: VICTOR charts show 1/2" steel requires 0 tip with 30-35psi Oxy and 3-5psi Acety. Thats approx nine times more pressure from Oxy. For welding 1/2" use tip 5 with 6-12psi Oxy and 5-8psi Acety so you see even welding uses more oxy than acety. For rosebud use tip 4 with 6-10psi acety and 8-12 psi oxy. Even heating uses more oxy. The chart I used showed acety pressure first for heating nozzle. It also showed flow rates using more oxy. I thought withdraw rates were concern for heating only and thats why they include flow rates for heating but as jpump5 pointed out, withdraw rate when using a large tip can also be a concern.

Reply:At least for cutting the O2 tank is always larger than the c2h2 tank on order to consume both tanks at a close rate. I still use o2 faster.

Reply:Hey Oscar,Carts tend to stay in one spot for a days/weeks between moves. Pump up tyres (under load) tend to get a flat spot during this time so you get the old flaboom flaboom when you move it. Ask me how I know!Be prepared to change them out for solid wheels...Don't forget to update us
Reply:Yea could be. Right now there's a lot of action in the garage since I'm gearing up to hopefully do some small production runs, so I need to be cleaning constantly and hopefully that way I keep them rolling around. The good thing is since the rear bottom tube of the cart is 1" above the floor, a lot of the weight shifts to the front edge, so it will hopefully keep the tires lasting longer like that when it does sit.

Reply:We had a truck mounted camper years ago that used multiple 20 lb propane bottles to fuel the stove and fridge. There was nothing fancy about the setup, just T's plumbed in with on/off valves so you could run one tank or 3 depending on demands and length of time needed. I don't recall having any issues with it, and would frequently fill 2 good bottles to keep the stale dated one functioning.The harder you fall, the higher you bounce...250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes |
