If the sides never need any work then a non pulsed machine will indeed work.
However if just replacing the bottom one could also use some quality adhesive to put in the floor, and forgo welding.
Ah, now I See.
Is the forklift yours?
If repairing them outside of working hours you could just put the welder on the forks and raise the machine.
If you have do not have the ability to rotate the bodies then a pulse mig is almost essential, you will not be very succesfull welding vertical up on...
Surely a skid could be made so you can crane the welder into the tipper body??
I assume there is a crane there, or how else are you handling the bodies??
Are youmusing 2t or 4t??
I believe the lower current is only accesible in 4t mode.
Usefull for ali, you set the main current as your starting current, and when the metal heats up you just push the 2nd button to go to the lower preset current.
As this is low pressure you could use a Festo or Parker 5/8 male to 4mm push in connector.
Maybe you would need a male 5/8 to female 1/4 reducing bush, as most suppliers for 4mm push in connectors have 1/4 threads as the largest.
Just what I needed to know.
Have a problem with my plutonium project, it's to heavy.
Now I can weld it to aluminium, and make it lighter and portable.
;)
You need a pulse machine ideally, as some work on the bodies will not be possible in the horizontal position.
Also if you are going to run 0.8mm wire then a push/pull torch will be very handy, if you want to make due with a normal torch you need to keep it as short and as straight as possible...
How does the puddle look??
Like specks floating in it?
If it has specks floating in it dial more to the left (stripping adjustment)
However
How does your tungsten look??
Balled all to hell or maintaining a nice tip??
If balled to hell adjust to (penetration adjustment)
If you have balling and...
Recently found a working 2003 PP torch for my 2035 Pulse Mig machine (the older, larger brother of the Pocket Pulse)
However the canvas hose covering the gas hose/electrical cable/power cable has fallen apart, with the rubber seperating from the textile braid which is the base layer of the hose...
I already had the Cebora 15kg wire roll holder.
Stock these machines only take 5kg rolls, but as I have masses of 15kg rolles for my large 400v Lorch I looked for a 230v machine with pulse which could also handle 15kg rolls.
The Cebora/Weldkar part was perfect, but in my situation top mounting...
That control layout looks a lot like older Everlast/RTech models.
Maybe you can find something at their websites
Take a picture from the front and I'll be able to explain what's what.
Holy thread resurrection Batman.
I have since done the above conversion with mounting the wire roll above the welder instead of behind it, and it works a treat.
I have sliding doors in my workshop where all my welders sit behind (out of sight) but the lenthg of my Cebora 2035 Pulse was to much...
I would insert some grub screws in the baddest holes, with loctite.
Insert them flush and redrill one size larger.
Or indeed insert a second set of 16 or 28mm holes (most real tables use either 16mm or 28mm holes) between the existing hole pattern.
If the larger untapped holes are aligned square...
Rtech is sold in the Netherlands, or at least a line of machines that looks very much like them under the Freetech brand name.
However, the Jasics do seem to be good and cheaper then the Freetech.
