Thanks for the positive feedback though Richard.
As with everything RH Davey has put through my door thanks for a positive service.

I'm not allowed, it gets construed as soliciting sales. Thanks for the positive feedback though Richard.
She will get hit with some aluminium over next weekend. I've got an Alu tube/box mod to make for the back end of a carb r6 track bike. And an old vfr750 crank case to weld a cracked bolt fixing point back on to. I would imagine the head angle adjustment will help a lot with the rear seat job as a % of it will be done on the bike. Feedback will be updated.ese torches are made up to order though so it's POA, we don't list them on our (still under construction...) website yet.
I always illustrate the interesting jobs with piccys. Sadly the interesting ones are few and far between.As its bike related feed back with out pictures will be wasted
Yeah I've never actually cut one open but I've bust a good few.This is what happens to a ck ford head, they only have a certain number of rated movements.

Not ck as such but plenty of other flex heads.
A big reason I dislike them.
I guess if used within there bending limits they will last very well.My ck flex head must be 3 years old now and I've never broke one !!!
I am though, I am a sadist to flexi torchesFlex necks will last for ever if you go easy on the flexing.
It's gonna outlast machines if your not forever twisting em about.
Get a weldtec speedway.I actually remember the day the Parweld finally gave up and split, I was working through in Kirkintilloch welding some window frames into a canal boat. I phoned my mate up who lives in Glasgow asking if he knew of any welding supplies nearby, he said no probs I will get you one and bring it to you as I am only 15mins away anyway. He brought it and I commenced welding and about an hour into the job it too was cracked, ended up getting some self amalgamating tape and lashed up a semi repair on the Parweld to get the job done. Always carry a spare now when I am working away from home
Should of flogged em some ball joints Jim.If you move it, it will eventually break, but it's lifespan is directly related to how far and how often you bend it. If it's a few degrees here and there, once every 2-3 months the rubber will perish and fall off before the neck fails, but if you go 45 degrees one way then 45 degrees the other for 600x 30mm staggered stitch welds on one side of a webbed flange then on the other (like one customer I had) then you can break them in less than two shifts.
We solved the problem with a second TIG set per man, plugged in and with the torch set up to access one side of the flange and the first to do the opposite. The contract went on for another six months and they only broke two more heads in the next 3 months.
