Meat Saw

admin

A local locker owner stopped by last pm.with this part he needed welded said he had a beef on ice.I never tigd brass before and do not know the (type) grade of material seen a thread on here and asked what type of filler would be best to use? A guy helped me out with silicon bronze as a filler.Need to look him up for a thank you!! Cleaned the parts beveled the one end in the lathe Used my maxstar with some .045 filler I had. I asked how it broke but he was way to wound-up  to explain. Anyway installed part and didnt break so back to cutting meat. LOL People in town always say Roger has the best meat in town.or Nobody can beat Rogers meat. Attached Images

Reply:Thanks for the kind words fellas. @Forhire sry did not take any pics after I was done.I used 2% red tung and set the machine at 120amps used 1/2-3/4 pedal it wetted in very nice I went around the bolt twice with filler but I did not have a stacked look with my weld looked more like a O/A torch repair before I put it in the lathe. With not much bronze tig welding experience I would say I used too much heat but was concerened about getting enough penetration?Last edited by power; 09-07-2012 at 09:06 PM.
