Care to explain how a weld with a crack down the entire length, is of any use.
It's not Tuesday, is it?

Nice, been on the look out for an anvil for a while. Now I can keep my eye open for a fork lift tine too! The electricity board replaced our main 3phase poles here recently and the bottom 2ft of the one they left for me will be a great base.
Let is know how it feels to work or if it starts to part. I wonder if there is too much overhang on the sides? Difficult one as if you go full width underneath with another slab of tine, you have no way of welding in the middle... No idea which would be preferable!
PS, I have one of those 160 inverters and it's great. I'd like an oil cooled stick Welder but with this one, I can't justify the space (or weight!)
You could always say it was added to stop it ringing to much ,so as not to upset the noise abatement society.
Shame you dont live near me as i know where i got mine theres at least 5 more in the skip
I can only wait and see to how much hammering its going to take i could be waiting for it to break and it never happens or move it one day and it comes away in my hand.
Still i'm happy with it
With Anvils the way we stop some of the ring is to wrap a length of chain around it, did it on mine and it work quite well.If i can workout how to load a video i'll let you hear it sing,it has a bit of a high ding but i've yet to mount it on a base yet
They asked for a tenner,went in their xmas booze upYea, that's a shame, I can't think I'm supposed to be headed in that direction any time soon either. What's the going rate for a scrap tine if you don't mind me asking?
costly i'd say,i put it on her indoors scales and it read 50kg but no way felt much heavier than that,mind you i did say her scales,shes been telling me fibsCrikey, that's reasonable! I'd snap a couple of them up if I could figure out the logistics..
Thanks AL,all i do know was it took ages to cut and as for grinding your normal standard grinding disc just seemed to skip off it but you can get thereJust for info
Many years ago I did some work with Cascade who are a major fork manufacturer

Tines are made from a variety of materials including stainless grades. I think the most common are a plain carbon steel and something similar to En 19....if my memory serves me well
Just saying so no-one thinks they are all the same
The aforementioned crack would be most likely in En19 type material
Exactly that!!!Cooled too fast.
Ah well that could explain it then. I've never had the pleasure of trying to weld En19. Does it need tempering after welding Al ?Just for info

Nice job.
A low dong keeps everybody happy.
Have you been reincarnated ??Preheat sounds like a good idea, it certainly won't hurt (Unless you touch it). Weld each side, then check it for square and run the next weld such that it'll pull it into square. Get loads of passes on each side, it'll make it more solid and it's all good practice.
I have a feeling you have been here before, sounds like the only thing you cant do is fix wobbly woggles
A low dong,er, why ?A low dong keeps everybody happy.
