So my new tig welder /inverter arrived yesterday
,courtesy of weldequip
Many years ago at college i did a bit of gas and mig welding ,but all my tig is self tought , so its far from perfect
just thought id share with a few pictures the job i did today with the new machine . This is a milk reciever on a rotary milking parlour
The job was do away with the rubber fitting ,which has an elbow inside the vessel to wash the inside .when its on a wash cycle ,after milking .
Having cut out a short section of pipe, a new piece is cut using the excellent ( but chinese im afraid
)evolution chop saw ,incidently fitted with a stainless cutting blade .
Then a new union is swaged on ....
Finally a large 'washer ' which i had to cut out using 2 hole saws was fitted up against the vessel (must get a plasma cutter when funds allow ) and welded round /cleaned up
close up please feel free to make any comments good or bad about the welding
Finally heres the kit i used .....
Cheers mike
