Actually no ...I use it often for lots of jobs it even reaches the wood stove so I lite the fire with it lately I've been burning pine wood projects to expose the grain and did some copper work with it making an ornate copula

Timesert they are a solid type of helicoil but much stronger

It should work I have one in the shop it's great for bearings and pizza

That's a toughy the steel is cooling faster than the large cast peice I believe an oven may be needed or at least you could try packing it in sand or vermiculite and blankets to fill the air space

I think everyone would totally weld that !

On most things tacks will hold the entire thing together plenty strong infact alot of things get over welded and don't allow flex in some usees like a trailer or snow plow

I'm a tack o holic !! Go in a little hot on the corners then start the completing weld just past the tack go back to the corner this builds some heat to blend then speed over to the start point with practice it makes even nicer welds because ....corners like to blow out if you end there due to heat ...

I think of warp as heating a spot it expands but then is frozen in place controlled warp is what your after lots of tacks in opposing directions then short fast welds and time to cool the less structural ....example plate vs box tube .....the worse because force only has two directions on plate but ...

Go to any weld shop or steel yard ask about drops it's usually a dollar a pound around here great if you need something say 2 foot or less

Build a few of these I made three sizes years ago 3x3 a 6x6 and this 12x12 I took extreme care and time to make them square and plumb on a known flat surface with a good square I can make a true 90 on most any length with four clamps then take the two L shapes and finish a perfect plumb level square...

I keep two blends 85/15 welds very clean short circuit and spray it's a nice Ballance for clean welds almost no spatter and also 95/4/1 for stainless it's supposed to be colder but I've sprayed it nearly spotless almost paint ready welds I've used high co2 blends but they tend to make a weld closer ...

Go to Lowe's get some 1/8 6013 rods practice and let us know if you need anything they run nice on a wide range and are forgiving not the strongest but a good learning rod to get the idea

Sure thing if it's like mine he wanted the 208 voltage for 220 single phase

I'll be honest mine is a heliarc 250 hf plus square wave similar vintage tho these are linde arc or English made welders imported by esab and esab owes everything to them they are amazing machines most have about a 6*6 plate on the side where the connection is made with jumpers and wire lugs they ac...

Did you just buy it or have you had the machine and it just started I got mine for a song because seller bought it from a factory and tried to run it on 220 but it was wired for 300 volts had very weak stick and some Tig functions didn't work wired it properly and she's a beast excellent dc on that ...

Bed rails seem like a great idea but most are a spring steel blend so they can be light weight but strong stay away the welds will break unless cooled properly and they drill like work hardened steel

Watcha welding size of metal? type ? Position ?

It's my go to for cutting odd shapes and I love some good brazing it's like soldiering for men

Hobby size in the states to be safe without ever needing a lease is 80 cu of 02 and 60 of ac you can run anything you want a rosebud can be safely run for five minutes on these our service truck has them I tried other fuels and hated it ac and 02 heat faster and just cause less bs than the tall 02 a...

From a mechanic your done needs to be replaced at best welding it up it still should be removed or other gaskets will be screwed up the only hope is if you can drill down and tap a spot for a skinny Allen bolt beside the damage use no gaskets but ultra black ( urethane base ) let it cure 24 hours an...
