Jarrod,
If you made up ten of these items with heat sensors all over and welded them, it's fairly certain that they'd behave in pretty much the same way. It's not likely to be a chaotic system where small variations could cause wildly different results. So there will be some underlying reality...
Having had a quick look at it and assuming I've understood it correctly, it would be a poor deal for most people. You pay a non-returnable deposit of £95 - that's what they mean by "buying the cylinder" although you don't actually buy it because it seems you swap it and lose track of the...
With the R-Tech and similar deals you have to either live within driving distance of the place, or pay to have the cylinder shipped to them and a return shipped back. Shipping probably adds about £30 to the cost of a refill.
Something you have to watch is that different companies can fill to...
If you buy the Sealey you'll have to cart it over to France, which may not be so bad if you are going over regularly anyway. If anything goes wrong you'll have to cart it back rather than drive to a local DIY shed. That said, transformer MIGs tend to be reliable.
It looks as if the Sealey comes...
Get rid of the screws and use mushroom head bolts which you seem to have done in part anyway. I think if you mess with a welder you'll scorch the wood.
You've still got the hinge exposed and it doesn't look as if it could survive attack for long. In fact the door doesn't look very strong and...
You could cover the head with epoxy resin. Not hard to get rid of if you are expecting it but if you are having a go at it with a torch and whatever screwdriver and makeshift burglary kit you've got, it would make life hard.
I can't really visualise this problem with woodscrews and I can't see...
Maybe, and maybe if they notice the thread they'll comment, however, I suspect not.
A few have the GYS 162 and it seems to be well thought of for the price.
If you look, the MMA inverters Brico Depot sell seem to be a rebadged version of GYS MMA inverters as well. It does say "Made in France" on them. LeRoy Merlin sell the same inverters in GYS colours and they are usually a bit dearer.
I agree with Tom, these MIG machines are probably exactly the...
It makes you wonder why the makers of 6013s give redrying instructions and don't give any warnings about how the strength of the weld will be reduced to that of chewing gum should the rods have been redried.
The choice is forking out more than you want to pay for a belt and braces job which is practically guaranteed to work, and paying a sum much more to your liking for a solution people who've used
Aldi paint think would work.
The six years on the gate for Aldi paint is six years so far and it's...
I didn't know Aldi did a Hammerite style paint, but I've seen Hammerite lookalikes which are reckoned to be OK.
The Aldi paint I've bought is a gloss metalcare paint, as per Cumbriasteve, which it says on the tin can paint over rust. I think it's a fiver a litre. I've seen Lidl do a similar...
There are several people on here who have one or the other, probably more with the Parweld, and there aren't many complaints about either.
Two or three years back the subject came up and a regular poster, who ought to know what he's talking about, said that these and a few others were the same...
The word is that they are now made in China and are nowhere near as good as they used to be.
8" S&J Eclipse vice can be found on ebay for about £115 inc free delivery (in the UK). I won't give a link but it's easy to find. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a similar deal in Ireland. A no...
And Jarrod Randel has to be a made up name.....
Naah, it was the talk of having been taught heat transfer equations which would apply to this exactly and have now been forgotten (and can't be looked up on the WWW somewhere), which got me going.
I've looked at the pdf and it isn't clear to me...
One of the more subtle attempts to get the forum to do someone's maths homework.
You may consider applying the heat equation bearing in mind the initial and boundary conditions and that a Taylor approximation may be a reasonable alternative to an analytical solution which may be computationally...
I don't do TIG, just MIG and stick, but I find I adjust the helmet to anywhere between 9 and 12 depending on the job. I think 11 would be too dark for car panels.
Anyway, as Mr Casey is training as a welder he'll be doing a lot of it and he'll have to weld what he's told to weld and that may...
