Machine extensions

admin

Possibly the nicest machine extensions you will ever see! Got a blueprint to machine and weld up these bad boys. Needless to say it was a fun little side project. Makes me wonder what kind of machine these will bolt under. All I know is the company that asked for them makes their own multi million dollar tools. It was kinda hard to get the torch in some spots so the consistency isn't the greatest. 220 Amps3/32 ceriated#4 cupSo here ya go. Thanks for looking More on next post!

Reply:You got some amazing skills!That looks awesome. I am just struggling with corners and positions like that.
Reply:Beautiful. Did you fixture these during welding or rely on the tack welds and order of weld? Did you have to straighten at all them prior to final facing?
Reply:^^ Thanks!No fixture to hold them in place just simply tack all the joints and I welded from the inner joints outwards slowly. There was some pulling and warping thats why I left the ends a little thicker so that I could deck them down after they were all welded and complete.Miller Dynasty 200Millermatic 211Instagram?.... find me @ WELD_MEDIC

Reply:nice welding, but i am curious to know more about why these were welded the way they were. it sounds like these are carrying load that is parallel to the axial of the holes from plate to plate. is this correct? if so then why all the heavy welding? was there a concern that the heavy vertical pieces would buckle? if there are no side loads then technically the center pieces only needed some light welds to hold them in place (the big plates have dado's in them).Last edited by welding_kid; 06-21-2013 at 03:49 PM.
