Hello, My name is Keith and I'm new to the group, and was wondering if I could ask for some feedback from the group. I am embarking on a project that needs...
Hello Everyone, I am cross posting out of desperation here.... I bought a Hardinge mill with a RUSNOK Vertical milling head. Below are the links to a picture...
... As a beginner, Mig is the way to go. If you can operate a hot glue gun, you can stick metal together using a mig welder. I started out years ago with a...
I'm not saying to do this, but many years ago, I watched the farmer I was working for at the time use a coat hanger when he ran out of welding rods for his...
hello Keith, since you got AC and DC power source, you can add the High Frequency unit (of AC/DC) to go for TIG welding make sure that 1) what range of current...
... In theory, any piece of metal should work, wirecoathanger or a strip of the same material that is to be welded on. Mind you I havent been oa welding for 25...
Look at the AWS specification on GMAW (MIG) welding electrodes. Any wire that is designated "R" such as ER70S-6 can be used for gas welding (or TIG welding)....
An AC/DC stick welder can be used for TIG with an add on hi-freq unit but the arc quality may not be as good as a dedicated TIG welder. It all depends on the...
i'm currently welding up a sissybar for my chopper. i have more experience at home and work with a mig. my innershield set up isn't strong enough for the steel...
I joined this group hoping to get some advice. First I am NOT a welder. So please excuse my dumb questions. I have tried to read the past posts to get an idea....
Thanks to C.J. and KK for their reply. I haven't got a torch yet but am looking into a water cooled unit, so will have to build a cooler but that doesn't seem...
Not so steer you away from welding (I love welding...any day I fire up one of the welders is a good day!!) but since you mentioned pot metal and aluminum, I...

I've got a rig for tig welding "stainless only" that cost me $40.00 bucks to put together. Torches are numbered so as to tell you a great deal about what your...
Hey Elrod welcome aboard, good question you ask, I am curious also Clint ... From: "Richard Lutz" <elrod00@...> To: <welding_group@yahoogroups.com> ...
Thanks for the advice Mike but Muggy Weld does not color match well. These pieces are polished to show quality and the brighter they are buffed the more the...
Interesting. I talked with Mike Muggy at a show and he talked about how it worked great under chrome plating....I don't remember him saying anything about how...
What diameter stick electrodes are you using? Probably 1/8". If so 160 amps is too high. If you go to a smaller diameter electrode it might help the ...
Good point. TIG welding is too hot for pot metal. Pot metal has a lot of zinc in it and the TIG arc is so intense that the zinc will boil (volatize) and fume...
... A water cooled TIG torch has two main advantages. One is you can weld at higher amperages. Even a big gas cooled torch is strained to weld over a real ...
Your welds are very short and the bead needs time in the molten state for all the gas bubbles (porosity) to float out to the surface. For this application TIG...
Hi, I'm new to this group also. You will have to use tig. I have a Miller syncrowave 250 and a Dynasty 300 DX. If you're sure you have aluminum and not pot...
Pot metal is not my problem. I have discovered multiple ways to deal with it for replating and none of them include welding. My problem has been with stainless...
With pot metal out of the equation it is a new ballgame. What you need is a TIG machine with stable low amperage performance. This is a good thing as you ...
Now that is what I'm looking for! Thanks. Elrod. ... need is a ... thing as you ... to. To do ... machine ... adjustable ... the weld ... good for ... ...
I have used older tig machines that are not "high end" . They do not perform as well on the more difficult thin gauges. Three phase machines are not any...
Elrod, There's also the old tried and true oxy-fuel welding. :-) You might already have the equipment and just need the consumables. Thank you for shopping at...
