I have one of the parkside models (cant recal model, but its external compressor). Pretty shortly after playing with it the torch started squirting plasma from the side of the nozzle and has burned it.
SO looking for a replacement torch, any recommendations? What fits at the machine end?
I had a cheap-ish air gun and it was a bit pants, then bought a 230V Clarke one which was much better, but now have a Ryobi battery one, and i cant fault that, way more powerful than either of the previous, and not need to cart my compressor around.
Hi is there anyone who would be able to roll me 2 pieces of 1mm (ish) ali as per the sketch?
Beer tokens available.
Does not need to be super accurate, and it will get trimmed to fit anyway.
L R knobs do have mid pos detents, in fact you have to use the mid N position to move the other knob.
Anyway solved it, if others find themselves in the same boat.
The selector fork arms in the dark recess of the box are square in shape, this gives a big clue. I aligned the knobs vertically...
Believe me i've been experimenting, i cant get it.
The knobs have 3 positions, and theres some level of inter dependance between the 2 left knobs.
The main problem is - I dont know the gear positions for the knob positions, and as mentioned the default per the diagram does not seem to work.
Hello,
I'm just in the process of stripping and rebuilding my new (old) L5 11".
I have the all metric screw cutting box (3 knobs) and have removed the selector knobs to clean & repaint. On assembly i noted that the selector shafts dont have flats, so i'm not sure as to the position of the knobs...
Sorry to jump on an old thread, but to you Progress owners - Do you know what belt size it should be?
Mine came with a tattered A45 belt, and i ordered some new ones, but its way too tight.
Unless the motor slide is not going all the way in, it did seem reluctant to move...
Anyone on here in France? What do you do for gas (Argon/Co2)?
I'm a light user and i end up paying more in rent than actual gas, as a 20L last me for 2-3 years.
Is it possible to buy second hand cylinders and get them filled anywhere?
Quelqu'un ici en France? Que faites-vous pour le gaz (Argon...
Well i tested mine out and not great on the first attempt. It blasts for a few seconds then dries up.
Mine pretty similar to yours, large fire extinguisher. Only difference is that the feed to the top has a regulator, the plans i saw said put less pressure up there. I assume yours is feed...
I'm looking at building a camper body for a truck using extruded profile to make a box and then bond in composite wall panels. Suppliers such as John Adams and Service Metals do these for trucks. But i have a few questions.
(note i'm a rather poor self-taught Tigg'er, who will prob get some...
So i need to replace my old R-Tech auto darkening helmet.
Research leads me to looking at the ESAB Sentinel or Speedglass 9100, but theres is another choice - Truecolour.
So does the true colour make a big difference?
Should i go for the ESAB/Speedglass or a cheap true colour like Parweld?
Ok i set it up at the weekend by fabricating an offset shelf under my grinder with 6mm plate. Its reasonably rigid and set to be exactly perpendicular.
The guide produces excellent results. I found you can ignore the little guide tooth that is supposed to engage in the flute. I just set the bit...
