That was the other thing I was thinking but then there would be open section exposed if I slot the box section. But the other thing that was playing on my mind, is that the two welds in that case are in a perpendicular plane to the main bending moment and perhaps would be as strong as the plate...
What would be the suggested method of making this weld connection, that is to weld the 50mm edge of the RHS to the top end open end of the 90mm SHS ? Is it best to weld a section of plate/flat bar on the end of the 90mm SHS and than fillet weld the rafter on top of that or what are the...
I understand this thread is somewhat dated, however I'm after eye protection for aluminium gas welding. Whilst I realise that this is UK forum, I am trying to locate where I can purchase either this Honeywell CV85/5W visor or SEBRING welding goggles SEB85560B in Australia. Anyone had any luck?
I'm just quickly making up a roof platform to replace my fast rusting steel mesh basket made in china somewhere.
Have just made a base frame out of 25mm SHS, didn't have a tube bender so just angled the corner sections. I have a question though what should I do with the stubs of the...
Thank you for your opinion every one.
Pricing larger grinder, does get up there in cost toward a cheap bandsaw. I probably should have looked at the before posting the question.
I notice that someone said that 4.5inch grinder are more common, I think that might be a UK/EU thing, here...
As much as I would like to purchase a horizontal bandsaw, I just can't justify it at the moment rather put that sort of money toward OA tanks/gear. And I don't want a cut off saw, as in the future I'd like to get a bandsaw, but need something to use in the meantime that will be versatile.

Hi,
As per title I just updated my mig welder with a Unimig 205smartset, and due to a bit of a stuff around the store through in a free roll of wire however the roll given is 0.9mm wire. I at the time assumed the roller would be a 0.8/0.9 roller but it is a 0.8/1.0 roller.
Well as much as I really really want one, but can't really afford or justify a certiflat at the moment. I built somewhat of a jig table. Really just a platform at the moment, as it doesn't have legs. It's just 5mm flat bar laid and welded across a frame of 75 by 50mm 3mm wall RHS. Flat bar is...
Hi
I Did grind back probably 30mm away from weld area. From memory I think I actually switcged it down on heat as I seemed to be getting too hot and molten would collapse through the cap.
I've welded a couple other things up now building a small foot print welding table. Thought I'd throw these up for critique. I had a bit of a larger gap between the mitre joint with the weld that looks a little rougher, which I seemed to do in small run before stopping letting cool a bit and...
Hi to those up and above and those at a similar lattitude.
Been lurking this forum for about 12months on and off , thought I'd knock on the door and join the party.
Just have a little cheap 240V 150Amp mig from purchased from a auto parts store, which I purchased with the intention to learn to...
