    Show us your welding projects

    Not bad for the time you have in. Maybe let your puddle wet a little more, looks like kinda like cold lap on the edges of the weld.

    I have to add one more fan, move the pressure gauge to the front panel, tweak the plumbing and add sound dampening material to the inside, but for now it works pretty well.

    Welding class for a hobbyist?

    So take this with a grain of salt but I'm a bit salty about techs and welding programs, granted I took a fabrication program and not a welding program so I can roll **** and run press brakes and and cutting tables but I feel you'll learn the basics and that's about it. I haven't touched a mig...

    Welder wiring help needed! Diagnose wire feeder and rewire

    I confirmed the wiring was right by manually cycling the relay as it in engaged the arc switch. I sat at the machine pulling the trigger on the gun when it occured to me that the gas should flow when I pull trigger. Logically it makes sense that when the trigger is pulled regardless of being...

    Welder wiring help needed! Diagnose wire feeder and rewire

    I've downloaded both of the manual for the welder and the wire feeder. I have not contacted miller yet. The pins do seem to be in the right place. That's why I'm now inclined to think it's the relay.

    Welder wiring help needed! Diagnose wire feeder and rewire

    Alright guys I'm at a loss and need some help, I found a Miller cp-200 power source with a xra wire feeder for 250 but the gun was well worn out and didn't seem cost effective to fix. A couple days later I found an S-60 with psa-2 adapter for 200 and then a 250 amp tough gun whip for 50. All...

    Landed this 60 series wire feeder for 200. Everything seems to work. It only has wire speed controls on it. I'm gonna take everything into work one of these nights and test it all and make sure it works before I do the conversion.

    Building a buggy: nobggrnchvy

    For walking the cup that fupa might be a bit of a pain in the *** as you have to have your stick out pretty far. Try an 8 cup with less stick out so your pointed more into the material and less towards the direction your traveling. I don't know what that joint or gap looked like previous to...

    Fordkid's ADHD Fabrications

    Well I've got some tweaks to do, but it's pretty close to being done. I'm gonna talk the super genius in our pumps depart and see what he thinks and maybe makes some improvements. Really the only major things left are to put a third half coupler in that I changed my mind on and now realize that...

    a solution for my meat grinder auger

    Do you know what it's made of, can you weld it? If it's low rpm can you hand grind and file it? Do you know anyone who could machine it for a case or two of beer?

    a solution for my meat grinder auger

    The company I work for we make cheese equipment, we make grinders like this but on a much larger scale. The augers ride on hdpe or similar plastic at both ends. Why not try to get another grinder plate and enlarge the hole and put in a bushing that. Then you don't have to modify the auger. Or...
