    online CNC laser/plasma cutting?

    Trail king skidsteer tilt trailer Hd fender

    I built a set of heavy 3/16" treadplate fenders for a trailer I share with a buddy. Best thing I ever did. No one ever believes me when I tell them they don't need to worry about bending the fenders when loading the trailer. The fender look just like the cheap 14 gauge ones you can buy. Whats...

    What Machine for Dual Shield Wire ?

    I use it in an old Millermatic 200. Its .045 wire but due to the flux core I set the machine with .035 settings to get me close. I love the stuff. Great for "farm welding". No porosity issue like with normal mig and dirty metal/poor conditions.

    Can you explain the custom press brake tooling that you cut on the waterjet? Did you have any software to help determine the tooling? or just your experience ? It appears to be a 2 bend per hit setup?

    Condensing Modulating Gas Boiler Questions

    I am confused by the comment that 130 is too high and should be mixed down. You wouldn't set the boiler at say 120 to 130 and run it right into the slab loops? You would set boiler higher and mix the water down to temp?? Update: I spent a lot of time reading and studying the manual and it looks...

The max temp they say to run radiant through concrete is in the 110-120 range. I set the boiler max at 120. So that will be the max and the boiler temp will go lower than that...
