HI new to this forum. I need help
I have a concrete crusher which i hire out
See www.crusherhire.co.uk
Every now and again, i used to send ot back to the manufacturer in essex who "re tipped" the teeth, using hard facing on a mig welder.
This costs £200 a time, and the machine needs doing 4 times a year to keep it crushing effectively.
I decided to buy a welder at a show, a lincoln sp 170, which they told me would do the job
I am having trouble getting the hard faced mig wire. I can take up to 1.2mm tips, and at the moment I am using 0.9 flux cored gasless wire for all other small welding jobs.
I do not want to use gas, as I am told that i cannot use the dispoable bottles as the gas regulator does not fit my supplied pipe?!? (this came from a spotty teenager in a hire shop. thought he was an expert)
I dont want to take out a contract with boc for the sake of 4 welding sessions a year.
so i guess i am asking, can i buy .9mm gasless flux cored hard facing wire that will fit my machine.
Or, can i buy 1.2 hard facing wire, and use disposable gas bottles with the right connection on a flow regulator? where can i buy these products from?
thanks for your help in advance!!
