Small Enough Tig Welding..

admin

Got some parts in this A.M. that needed to be welded..But there was a catch..They were case hardned before hand... And were rather small in the weld area..So what you do here is loose the hardned metal before you weld it..Did'nt get any pics of the actual process but this is what you do if you ever encounter this problem..Wherever the parts are gonna be welded.. mark the area on both pieces with a marker..Mock them up..Do your marking...Only remove the hardness with a hand grinder from that area..Then proceed with the welding...Like I said.. this was small stuff..The last one is just very small welds in the corners above the dime..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.
