Minus 35c in northern BC and never had a problem.Had a bad bottle of acet a couple of months ago that let acetone into my torch right from the get go.Try a known good regulator. -Cheers

I would use oxy/acet and try to find or rent a track cutter if you can not find a good torch hand. The plasma would be my last choice because of the deflection issues and you will end up grinding to make it square. When you recut the sheet put the bow up and it will help to pull it straight...

Re: Mig welder to learnon how to weld THIS ^^^^^ I have a Miller 211 and on 120v it is a joke.When you turn it up a little, 15A breaker goes click.

Nice, 15cfm at 175 will be a treat. Have you heard it run ?, hopefully it's slow and quite.

Could you get the weld fixed after they send you the new unit ? Then I would tee the output air on the tanks together and get into the pressure switch on the one unit and turn down the cut in pressure down maybe 10psi. Now the one unit will fill 60 gal of air in low usage times and the second...

I do it to reduce warpage, it becomes fast and second nature.But I weld and fab every day at work for a living.I use mig and stick to weld alum,mild steel,AR, AND QT100.Every situation can be different if perfection is the goal. Right now I am building an aluminum river boat at home with...

I find clamping straight,letting it cool,then removing clamps is not enough alot of the times. If I want to have it come out straighter,depending on the shape and material,I like to tack it good then use clamps and shims to clamp it past straight in the opposite direction of the force then...

Looks like pulsed mig to me.Done in the flat position.Looks good.When a guy wants to get **** done Tig can be slow. Nice,nice work -Cheers

If they came to change the tank I would tell them you want the old one for a homemade bbq project.Then I would fix that hole and use it for more air storage.I don't like the manufactured fast single pass welds.I have welded lots of those thread-o-lets in tanks with multi pass 7018 stick and...

Whats wrong with the 80 gal Craftsman pro ? I almost bought that one.Could have got it for $850.00 CAN.

That's a $200.00 dollar special with a rusty old tank.If someone gave it to me I would go through it and put it on a 80gal if the duty cycle of the head was 100%.Is the head an IR 234 ? $750 will get you a unit with a new 60gal tank and a warranty. I would pay $750 pesos for it if they tossed...

Nice garage,practical yet comfortable. Some of the best work gets done with a couple of beer and friends, and you don't have to leave the couch :D -Cheers

I lied,my mag drill is the same as yours. It must be #3 morse taper. Here is the tap holder. I do all the operations without moving the mag drill.This holder will only work that way for alignment reasons.Your mag drill looks new and all the slides should be set up tight and that means no wiggle...

I was watching guys trying to drill a big truck frame by hand.Alot of truck frames are a qt100 or eqiv. type steel.The boys could not get the pressure to make it cut and keep the 3/4'' bit cutting. As some of the other members talk about I had a 500rpm 1/2 '' air drill and decided to build a...
