Grandpas old welding chart

[Askme42]

Wasn't really sure where to post this but thought it was pretty neat. Found it digging thru barns.

That's freaking cool! I always meant to write my stuff down.....

 

[Askme42]

Either grandma wrote it out for him or his hand writing certainly didn't get passed down through the males in the family.

Way cool

Dang cool - that's good info right there!
I'm making myself a copy.

 

[PFSard]

Plain and simple. I like that.

I'll be framing it to forever hang in my shop.

I like that very much. You don't happen to have a flat bed scanner do you?

Yeah I'll clean it up a little and scan it and see if I can get a better image. It never crossed my mind that you guys would use this info but I guess a cutting torch years ago is pretty much a cutting torch now. Not much has changed.

Thank you. Definitely usable.

 

[gus1962]

That's surely a cool find. Some useful info.

Why didn't Grandpa just print a page from the internet?

 

[balane]

I hope you don't mind. I ran this through an OCR program, cleaned up the mistakes it made, formatted it a bit and now we have a nice copy to keep on hand.

Nice souvenir from your grandfather.

I wrote up something similar about 40 years ago and carried it folded in a small machinist's pocket handbook for years.

Maybe someday my kids or grandkids will find it and not just throw it away...

And so, Grandpa's work lives on . . .

Askme42, Thanks for sharing. I would love to one day come across some of my own grandfather's notes. I learned a lot for him, but it only brushed the surface of what he had to share.

I like the handwritten copy. Should put it in a frame and hang in the shop/garage.

The info itself may be a little out of date. Here is a Victor acetylene cutting and welding tip chart and Hobart poster with similar info.

Looks awesome but I think I'll still frame grandpas version

Thanks for posting. This is what I figured is tips had been updated some. It's nostalgic for me way more than informational.
