Something New To Look At But Nothing New To Me..

admin

Just a couple of rollers I fabbed up yesterday and welded this A.M. ...10.5" O.D.8.5" Long...Needed .010 shrink and a pretty good weld because these will be "Carbide Coated" and will see major abuse...Rollers..Single root pass..Stitch..Weapon..All welding done with the same set-up..3/32 Red..Argon..(10 scfh)..220 Amps..1/16" 70S-2...Positioner...I have a few more diffrent sizes to do next week.. I get all the fun jobs... ...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:wHY DO YOUR PUDDLES LOOK RIPPLED ?  Whenever I do steel or aluminum, the puddls or dabs are uniformly smooth like a bubble.  Just curious because i can't replicate, if you hadn't shown the  torch , I would have thought it was a mig weld.  Just shows how much I know...........500 AMP AIRCO TIG LINCOLN PT185 100% DC @ 128 AMP-WTFSPEED GLASS 9002X MILLER THUNDERBOLT 225HOBBIEST TURNED WELDING JUNKIE8 2ND FIRECAT - SNOWMOBILE RACE CHASSIS FABRICATORPRIDE IS WHAT MAKES YOUR WORK SO GOOD

Reply:I.M.H.O.A weave or stitch is stronger than 3 or 4 roots on top of one another..And looks prettier also.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:aH,  OK then, is there a drawing on the stitch or weave, or is it just that obvious as it looks. Dabs near the outer edges and heat brings puddle across side to side.500 AMP AIRCO TIG LINCOLN PT185 100% DC @ 128 AMP-WTFSPEED GLASS 9002X MILLER THUNDERBOLT 225HOBBIEST TURNED WELDING JUNKIE8 2ND FIRECAT - SNOWMOBILE RACE CHASSIS FABRICATORPRIDE IS WHAT MAKES YOUR WORK SO GOOD
