removable leads for Lincoln tombstone

admin

Thanks to Nathan for the idea ( http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=90691#12 ) .  I decided to go with size 50 Dinse instead of Twecos and used the factory hole locations.  Paint is currently drying where I went back and touched up the cut edges (original holes were .680" - new ones are 1.194" plus the little anti-rotation keyway).  Receptacles are Lenco LDPM-50 and the plugs are LDP-50M.  Going to reassemble tomorrow.

Reply:dbotos--nice job!  It's really cool to take someone like that and customize.  I would like to do soothing similar with my MIG and TIG machines.  Do you happen to know of the DIN 50 female connector part no?  I have the exact same male connectors now.   Thanks for posting it.
Reply:Very nice, but why Dinse vs. Tweco? Around here Tweco's are the most popular, on the larger machines."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:Thanks for the compliments.  I got her put back together this morning.  I went with the Dinse standard since I've got two other machines that have them.  Machine code is 10426.  Not sure what the correct paint for it is - I just sprayed some Banner Red Gloss Krylon in a cup and brushed it on the raw edges.  It's not a perfect match, but the body of the receptacle covers it up anyway.  Going to go test it out in the hot sun now...  Attached Images
Reply:One last finishing touch - color coded the work clamp connection.  Also put it on a little dolly to wheel it around (i.e. 12 x 18"  piece of 3/4" MDF with four casters screwed to the bottom).  I'll have to make a proper cart for it one of these days with storage for electrodes and other goodies.   Attached Images

Reply:Thanks.  I would say it'd be cool if they came this way from the factory, but with these being lower cost / entry level machines, it'd probably add too much to the cost.  Fortunately, though, it's a pretty straightforward DIY.  Plus you can make whatever lead lengths you want.
