Metal Supermarkets franchise went under a while ago and online ordering is fine but try shipping a 6"x12" solid stock bar. That gets expensive fast. Only places I can find now are the big steel yards. For America's 4th largest city, its a cry'n shame that there isn't a similar shop that can...

This is a common problem. You see it a lot in the 97-04 F150 Lightnings. They utilized the F250 and up fuel systems. You actually have 2 fuel pumps. One is always on and during heavy load, the PCM kicks the second one. When the secondary resistor pack fails it draws down the main fuel pump to...

I used .035 wire at 210 amps and argon/co2 mix... MIG

Turned out good. Thanks for the advice. Overall, heres how it came out... Left side is the first "test" weld... pre-weld material temp was about 190F, on the right I got the material to about 260F before welding. One thing I had trouble with was the splatter. Seems it was excessive...

Love the 996's... Are they both Turbos or is the black a GT3?

Its HOT here in TX right now... so anytime I am working in the garage the door is open. I am frustrated by the door to door sales and religious groups that walk right into the garage to sell/save me. I usually keep my Ruger 9mm on top of my tool box as a deterrent. Once they see that, they...

^^^This is awesome advice. Thanks for the direction and help!

Thanks... Its API L80... It was a pup joint that the driller was scrapping because they over torqued it. Don't have any spec on the make-up of the steel. We are building a display for our client and he wants to use these twisted pieces in it. My TIG is a Miller Diversion 180... No ability to...

I have a section of L80 pipe and some parts I machined out of L80. What filler metal can you/would you use? I only have a MIG and TIG, no stick process here. The weld has to be strong but will not hold pressure... Thanks.:thumbup:

I sure do miss beautiful BC. I used to have a condo in Kelowna. Great pictures.

Thanks for the replies. I am referring to a "wet" cold saw. The links being posted make horrible cuts, spray sparks and chips all over, and are not very repeatable in cut accuracy. With either saw, I definitely want a coolant system. Either isn't cheap but the work I do can't look cheap.

I do a bit of fabrication work on the side building displays for industrial equipment so I cut everything from aluminum, brass, copper to stainless and mild steel. I have been using a chop saw for hard metals and a standard miter saw for aluminum. Its time for an upgrade as I am getting busier...

Hi. Great site!!! Waste way to much time on here. I figure a good first post is my new upgrade. The Snap-On dealer I got is really cool. Always cuts me a stellar deal. Traded this: For this: I am finally getting around to reno'ng the garage and this is a major step forward.
