Bloody hell. £1000 for an inlet manifold.
I would expect there to be an awful lot of development work behind it for that. I would like to see flow bench results and/or cfd results for each runner and back to back dyno testing with figures and AFR adjustments available.
The welding looks ok...
From the picks there are a few things aparent.
You are either touching down your tungsten or not cleaning the ally enough. Not cleaning the ally will also make it harder to tack as the the arc will have to break through the oxidisation.
Are you using a foot pedal? I find it very hard to...
I use loads of post flow when welding ally. If your tungsten isn't nice and shiney after you have finished welding then you don't have enough post flow. I'd start at about 6 secs min, more if running big amps.
Thats sheap.
I did my level 2 ABC (what the c&g turned into) a few years ago and it cost me £540 for a year. Three hours a night, two nights a week for a year. One night was theory and the other was practical. Really enjoyed it. Used to go straight there after proper work. I was the only guy...
A quick update.
Spent most of yesterday using the R-tech and i'm very happy. Really impressed with its power. Tried the fillet weld to a big casting that i used to struggle with the old machine. The R-tech breezed it with power in reserve.
Well, welder turned up thursday. When i wired it up it kept tripping my breaker everytime i turned it on. I was pretty disapointed.
Phoned up R-tech Friday morning. They were a bit suprised as apparently every unit gets QC checked before going out and the paperwork said it worked fine when it...
Well woke up to find an email from UPS to say it's been dispatched. That's a good start.
I have a fillet weld to a cast ally sump that I do all the time. My old welder could manage it just but suffered from thermal shutdowns quite alot. A right pain in the middle of a nice weld. Should be a...
Hi,
found this forum while researching which new Tig to
buy.
My trusty Chinese wse200 called it a day last week after 4 years of service. After reading lots of reports on similar welders it seems like I've done quite well. It was cheap to buy, performed well and certainly paid it's way...
