they’ll be a few inches from the path on a fairly well trod service road so would be a bit worried about them getting booted. Not a bad area but there’s always one.
about 90cm avove ground ideally with spike link decorative chain between.
Need to put 5 bollards out the front, want the usual chain in between them but would like them illuminated. Don’t really want the traditional Manchester style round bollards so thought about making some from box section and installing a down light in one side via an aperture.
any examples of...
Silicates from the deoxidants added to the wire. Pretty normal, if you chip them off you’ll see a nice shiny spot. ETA just noticed your question is more about differences in the gas. O2 is active but there’s also your gas shielding, flow rates, material, wire, cleaning process etc etc..
If you’re quick there’s some outfit dumping the Thermal Arc 252i (new) on EBay for 999.95 inc vat. With eBay fees and vat they’re making a loss on those. superb machine, part of esab.
Gys multipearl nice, good support in their U.K. head office in Rugby. Bohler are Selcos, seem to be pushing...
you pulse much slower with MMA, around 1/2 second (2Hz.). If creating that stacking dimes with MMA is your thing it’s cool or it can help with positional welding. Rare feature on such a well priced machine.
Most 3 phase stuff will have had industrial use, we’re talking pallets of wire through them. Had a few in p/x and let’s just say life’s too short to deal with the grief of selling them. Some of the stuff on eBay would give me palpitations tested or not. Out of your budget but the Weco Pioneer...
Gys multipearl 4xl 4 roll drive cheaper and I’d go 4 roll all day. And for that money it’s not far off the EWM picomig and I could do the thermal-arc 252 Fabricator for not much more. Competition is fierce in that price range.
Could be static? In a fleece I can crack a spark onto ground that’ll jump an inch and it’s more than a tingle. That machine’s 28v open circuit, not enough to get through a plastic handle for sure, sweaty or not.
If you’re in any doubt return it for a safety test.
