Re: metal cutting chop saws +-

One thing I have to say is cold saws are nice, I even used one mounted on a machine why hydrological feed to cut tubing to length, one bad thing is if your cutting tubing and this is most of what I did, spend most the time dumping the coolant out of the tube. and the little pumps most of them have w...

Re: CNC Cut Parts

I think oxy-fuel would be even straighter than that and the top edge would be just slightly rounded. dosnt mater what it looks like, it looks good.

This is a very very thick cut for hy-definition plasma at 2" about how much taper do you guys have on that (3/16")? Very interesting on the ripple pattern as well. At 2" I would of thought it would of been cleaner to cut it with oxy-fuel to get a straighter line, although I am new to ...

Adding Pulse to a older syncrowave 350

Hey guys I have a syncrowave 350 and it dose not have the pulse function.... How hard is it to add this board to the welder? would it be worth upgrading?

Thought on where to get it and what all is involved.

Thanks,

Re: Help with a problem?

I just got the manual from Hobart. they say its used for air gouging. It would be cool if it could stick weld as well.... I would be happy just getting good mig welds out of it right now.
