Been messing around and getting **** moved and cleaned up. Still have to hang the retractable air reel. Now onto the rest of the garage which got destroyed to do this project.

I'm loving it, keep it coming

It's a mess but it's coming along.

🤤 I'm drooling pretty hard at this. I want to do this for machine tools. Just got set aside some fun money for it.

Cut off wheel. It's not a machine tolerance project, rip into it and hit it with a flap disc afterwords and call it a day.

Looks like it might have work hardened.

Haha thanks, this is the first thing I thought of when I saw it, "Oh man this is definitely a GJ You **** if I ever saw one"

Well I've got my mill and the rest of the equipment I want in the little space. I'll grab a couple of pics once it's been organized. I've still got to grab all of the tooling from the basement. I went after work yesterday with my coworker to pick up a screaming deal he found on an air...

I love the work space!

Well another cold Wisconsin winter is on its way and I had to do something so I could work out in the garage without burning hundreds of lbs of lp each winter. I also wanted to get my mill and little lathe out in the garage without them rusting and my wife could stop yelling at me for dragging...

I'm in, this always looked fun.

So kinda where this thread started, I was able to go to fabtech again this year but this time with two of the lead fabricators from our shop to look for new equipment for the shop. Kinda of small compared to the last time I was there and I think it was a covid thing, but very educational event...

I've spent about an hour tuning it and running beads. The settings I'm running seem off but seem to be close based on sound and appearance. 24volts and 290 inches per minute with .030. the machine I'd run in school I like to set to 19.5 volts and 220 ipm on .035. I'm not sure if the voltage...

The 3 phase to single phase conversion worked. The wire feeder is operational. I need to start messing with the settings and getting back into running mig, it's been 2 years but I'm looking forward to getting to some.045 dual shield. ford focus ecoboost 2014

I talked to my foreman today about doing our skids like this, he kinda shot me down saying the owners wouldn't really go for it, especially since 75% our frames are made from pipe. Kinda ***** because we don't have any decent equipment in our shop. Everything is 30 years old and beat to hell so...

Thank, this is what I was trying to get at. I'm not the most fond heat straightening but I do it enough at work, but we also preload the backsides of welds to help minimize the pull all of the time. The shop I work in is a stainless steel shop and that stuff warps and pulls of you look at it funny.

Tig welder by trade, I am quite familiar with the heat affected zone and trying to minimize heat input. So come across as an *** all you want, I was trying to get some input and discussion going on this that may have aided the op on his installation.

I was more concerned about the axle housing pulling especially if it's only welded on one spot.

What about preloading the axle to fight the pull of the weld?
