Spencer, thanks for the Info, very useful I think ill go for one of those but the 6" variant from Warco.
does anyone know if creusen have actually gone out of business?
haha, not much help currently :( looking like one of the warco heavy duty ones might be a good option. i just dont want the whole workshop to vibrate when its on which the cheap ones are prone to do
Hi All,
I Have been looking to get a bench top grinder (mainly to sharpen tungsten),
I was going to buy a Creusen one as ive had good exprience with one, however i dont seem to be able to find any for sale anymore - tried Axminster etc but all out of stuck (unavailable)
the question is what...
so it would appear the actual answer to the question really relies on opinion and there is little to go on in terms of the correct thing to do, however I think its probably best to tell the insurance company and its up to them to decide as if you don't tell them you open yourself up to all kinds...
Hi all,
when storing these gas cylinders at home, is it necessary to notify anyone, e.g. local council, insurance, fire brigade?
not been able to find any clear answers online so thought id ask the question here!
regards
cheers for all the replies guys, an order of 1mm filler rods came in friday and the jobs done now, welded much nicer. when i first started tig welding i didn't expect to have about 20 tubes of different filler rods!
Hi all,
was doing a bit of practise on some stainless pipe the other night, all seems okay apart from the filler rod size, I was initially using 1.6mm filler, which now I think is likely to large for the size of material, would 1mm be better?
My reason for this is as I add the filler rod it...
managed to weld it in the end, just cleaned it as best I could and used more cleaning action not the best welds ive ever done but its certainly good enough! thanks for the input!
very nice manifold welds :)
hi guys,
was going to weld a part which broke the other day (cast aluminium) but when I began to weld no pool formed and the metal just kind of bubbled up and melted away a bit so I stopped,
just to check my welder was working okay I kept the same settings and tried on a piece of brand new...
so i have been welding a few bits of ally lately and had some terrible results, (all goes black and pitted) and basically looks a totall mess with no real flow to the weld pool, with the exact same settings i moved onto a bit of flat sheet and ran a few beads perfectly fine
any ideas what...
i have a 215 and also have the spot weld timer.. it is good but half the time i forget i have it and just do it myself haha!
very good machines though... top quality
as for going for a TIG welder that depends on what you want to be doing... but car bodywork tig really isnt going to be the...
I think normally you need a teflon liner for the torch to stop it snagging, and also many people use spool guns as the feed for the wire as you can immagine its not as stiff as steel so has a tendancy to bend very easily which can cause it to snag... saying that ive never used ally wire with or...
so basically exactly the same way in which i did mine...? i didnt use an RCBO as the second circuit board (and the orginal) allready have a RCD device (which protects the user) so there was no need to anything more than an MCB for it as the circuit is allready protected with an RCD. mines been...
well so far ive used it up to 2 4 which is nearly full bore and its performed like a treat so its obviously fine just wanted to see if anyone else had seen a similar thing i mean if it was someone's first welder they probably woudnt even realise that it was slighty higher then expected
well i did the tension on the spool so that the wire didnt go loose when it was on full power and then released ill try it slightly less tight, when i looked at the rollers they seemed to be working fine and the wire speed is constant rather then jerky
yeah had it set on 1 (course) and 3 and 4 fine you are right it works fine just seems to need the wire speed up high and im worried on full power it wont keep up! and yes you are right the more higher the power the faster the feed
