Thank you guys for the information

I am looking to upgrade my 3hp 60 gallon single stage compressor. As of right now, it serves my purposes, although at times I'm pushing it. In the near future I would like to get a blast cabinet so I dont have to sneak my stuff into work and use theirs when nobody is looking. I found a...

I was recently given a stud welder at work. We bought it for a project and never wound up using it. These machines are quite expensive, but the chance of me needing to do any stud welding is slim. So my question is, is there a practical use for one of these machines other than just welding...

These from Harbor Freight. They seem like decent carts, but they are a bit wobbly, which could be my assembly job. Cart

The welding bug hit me again after a several year hiatus. I had a few projects that required some welding and highlighted my need for better equipment. So I picked up a Prime Weld MIG180 and must say, so far this machine kicks ***. Way better welds than my little 110v multi-process that I had...

I decided to go with the PrimeWeld machine. I couldn't find any bad reviews about the machine, it has the better ground lead, better torch, higher duty cycle, and better customer service from what I can tell. Hopefully I'm not giving up too much going with a 180 amp machine rather than a 200...

I am struggling to decide between these two welders. I currently have a Tweco Fabricator 141i, which will MIG, TIG, and Stick weld, but I only ever use it for MIG welding. I also have a Thermal Arc 300GTS TIG welder that works great. I rarely stick weld and want to upgrade my MIG to a 220v...

Thank you

I was recently given two carts from work that were once used as a platform for one of our robots. The top is 1" thick steel and measures 29"x30" each. The frame is 3x3x1/4 steel tubing. They were also designed to bolt together to make one large stand. This would make a great weld table. The...

Can you use a punch and hammer and tap it around counter-clockwise? But I know you are trying to use the proper tool. For that I have no idea. I did find this spanner socket. Spanner Socket

When my wife and I were starting out, Walmart Stanley was all I could afford. I still have them and have no qualms about using them when the time arrives. I also have their wrench set, and though it is crude by Snap on standards, they have always worked, they fit nicely in a case, and have...

This is timely. I was just trying to find scrap yards that let you "pick". I have a few projects I would like to get materials for.

To conclude this thread, I talked to the "engineer" and was able to get him to move it down flush with the bottom of the tube. Then is just becomes a flare bevel. As for the .197" dimension, you are correct that it should've been 5mm. I was under the impression this was designed by one of our...

I agree, it isn't my design, and I'm not 100% sure on the intent here.

Correct, you are seeing a cutaway of the tube and the edge of the plate. Nothing else is attached, it is just welded all around this joint.

It is correct in calling out the top and bottom of the small plate. There is a separate callout for the edges of the plate. It is basically a small plate welded to the side of square tubing, they just start the joint at the beginning of the square tube's radius instead of flush with the bottom...

I am looking over a drawing for an engineer and trying to figure out which callout works best in this situation. This is not my part, or design, I cannot change the design, only help the designer call out the proper weld. *Arrow side of weld joint* The designer called for a 3/16" fillet on...

Wow, nice haul.

They are, but it would be quite the commute from Oregon to Ohio.

The yard sale season hasn't really begun here in Ohio, however, I did pick up a few items the other day. So, the company I work for was reorganizing some of their departments, and getting rid of things that were no longer needed or things that haven't been used in a long time. I got an email...
