Ive looked into the pressure rating as well, it looks like the old lead solder had a much lower rating than the new lead free modern stuff. Ill just go with my original plan then. Thanks all
Thanks for the reply, i was hoping for a few others to show there setups as I'm sure there are a few using copper pipes coolers.
So would it be safer to just connect to the regulator on the tank so i can reduce the pressure to the copper line and just suffer the cfm loss.
Good Morning,
I have just bought my first compressor sgs 3hp 50L. I'd like to fit it up to some 22mm copper pipe to condense the water out of the lines but im struggling to work out how to connect it to the tank.
The compressor has a 1/2 bsp nut on the tank which im going to use instead of the...
Well my parweld xts 163 has just arrived, @Tom Orrow L thanks for getting it out to me so quick, under 24 hours is awesome, cheers mate.
First impressions are good, its quite a bit smaller and lighter than the xti160 i had, only bad points so far are the electrode holder looks pretty...
Id love a kemppi but its way out of our price range, ive also seen on here that the GYS might not be robust enough to survive a few knocks plus its over our budget.
Hi Tom, yeah ive pretty much decided that after looking around online. Looks like i can get one for around £180. If you can do that id be happy to get it from you. Feel free to message me.
Cheers
Hi guys, Looking for some advice on which stick welder to buy.
Its for small general maintenance jobs around a manor house/farm so things like fixing gates, railings, building tables etc.
I had a parweld 160amp welder a few years ago but sold it when i got a tig rig which is too big to use for...
A few blasts with the TIG should heat it up nicely and loosen it up, then try to extract it. If not then try to build it up with the TIG. With a big cup you should be good with a large stickout.
Yes i'm moving the lever back however it wasn't doing much at all. I've tried adjusting the grub screw and it has actually made it a bit better, still not great though. I'll have another look tomorrow.
Not being able to see the 0-45 degree measurements is also a pain in the bottom.
Another thing...
Well i finally got my saw today and just did a few cuts in some 5mm x 20mm bar.
Unless im doing something wrong or my vice isnt working right im not impressed with it.
The vice just doesn't clamp tight onto the material. The way it works is you push the vice clamp as tight as you can against...
