Our normal gauge is the same as yours - after all we did invent the railways. Mind you Brunel introduced 7ft 1/4" gauge - shame it didn't win over - tank sizes in WW2 were limited due to rail loading gauge.
You have to be wary if you are registered as a business. I am NOT a business seller but once you go over a certain threshold they force you to become a business user. Then anything you sell is subject to a 2 week money back guarantee. Great if you only want a trailer for a weekend - cheaper than...
Also be careful how you cut the tungsten electrode. Using snips or bolt cutters you can crack the tungsten.
I suspect either wrong polarity or you need to turn the cleaning action more one way than the other.
Nice looking machine and plenty of power.
Do you have the manual for it?
The motor factors are agents for people like sgs. The local Adams gas agents are the same price.
Cost difference is enormous. Argon mix about 8x the cost of CO2.
I very rarely weld under 6mm. The only thing I struggle with is uphill and downhill. If a CO2/Argon mix will help with that then I...
I thought that but this is how all these Yanks do their tests. They say it doesn't make a huge difference due to the velocity of the round but I disagree. A lorry hitting a stationary car at 50mph probably wouldn't be fatal - the car would be shunted out of the way. Put the car up against a...
I have studied many videos of people comparing CO2 with CO2/Argon mix. There seems to be hardly any difference. What I am not so sure of is uphill and downhill. I can weld quite well on flat but my uphill and downhill is rubbish. Is it me or maybe the gas? I suspect me!
CO2 on my mig has just...
How hot does it get? I have repaired threads before using metal filled epoxy.
Very good set of tests here - epoxy was fairly close to bare aluminium. All the inserts were much stronger than the original thread.
The lock picking lawyer is awesome!
Nice to note the World's strongest padlock is British. It took a great many rounds of up to .338 - then they switched to .50 BMG and it took a further 20 rounds to burst it open!
A thick part can overhang but not a thin one.
Most common size is 18x6 - don't go too wide you may lose accuracy at the extremities.
Make sure you get one in good working order. Light rust doesn't matter as you will be skimming it anyway.
You will need a huge one for that battery. Used to help a mate of mine a lot when he was an auto electrician. Basically you stuck a very heavy load on the battery and looked to see which cell wasn't bubbling.
The fact they all read the same makes me think perhaps the charger is at fault.
Or any lead acid for that matter.
My forklift battery is old but well looked after and low hours. Doesn't seem to last well between charges.
I have have checked every cell with a hydrometer and multimeter and they are fine. Fluid levels fine.
I suspect the intelligent charger is playing up but...
