Okay guys, lots of great information just to clear up things little more. I am a welder for a company currently (part owner) We have had a few customers come in looking to have things built but a very small mount needs to be certified. It would be Mig and they are frames we have the ability to lift ...

Hey Guys I see a lot of talk about certified welders and I have read alot about what it involves but I don't see many pictures, what dose some of the welds look like? I am trying to figure out I am from being able to become a certified welder. How do they test the welds, xray?

what about running the tig in stick mode?

How is it being machines?

Hey guys I was wondering what the best Ball bearing chuck? I have always used Jacobs ball bearing chucks is that still the standard?

With the industrial plasma it can screw with them nothing permant that I have noticed yet. My brother had a samsung galaxy s3 and I was running the plasma his phone locked up for over an hour from the table as soon as the arc started his phone stoped working. Not sure why it did it.

Glad to see im not the only one that puts the tap right into the chuck

Hey guys I was just wondering you guys drill and tap if you have several holes do you put a tapping head on a drill press, do it by hand? Or do any of you use a drill press with a 3 phase motor and just switch direction with a drum switch?

Thanks,
Jason

I ran a cutmaster A120 on a 10' Nachi robot I was very impressed. I now have an HD3070 (older hypertherm hy definiton plasma cutter and love it!) If i was going to buy as plasma I would get Hypertherm first then Thermal Dynamics. I also have a Big table running a twin thermal dynamics that will cut ...

Sounds great guys I am going to start porting soon, I have heard that bronze dose not bond very well to cast iron, is this a old timer blowing smoke then again he was using brazing.

Thanks,

One of our CNC oxy fuel tables is getting some cracked lines.

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have put ends on oxygen or natural gas the hose style is like what you have on an oxy torch. What tools are needed and where can you get the hose?

Thanks,
Jason

Can I ask why you used stainless rather than nickle?

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing pictures

I have 2 of the heads right now, one is good one is bad I plan on porting the good one but if it dose end up cracking and leaking antifreeze into the oil I want to know I at least have a chance at fixing it.

Good To Know Hope To Find Dome Good Info, I Am Goint To Do A Stroker Build And Dont Want All That Porting To Go To Waist If It Dose Crack.

Hey guys I have a few questions about tig welding cast iron. I have seen that it can be done, now my question is how hard is it to do. and can it be done on a cylinder head? I have a 4.0 Jeep I6 head that has a crack that separates oil and coolant. Just to verify this over the valve cover not in the...

Also are you looking at putting a THC on it or doing manual torch height?

Hello and welcome to the forum, what model of plasma cutter are you using. I have worked with several of thermal dynamics plasmas, from the cutmaster A120 to older large industrial systems such as Merlin pac 15xc. Chances are you will go to the plasma cutter power source not to the head to control t...

Ill keep an eye out for it and tear down the pedal tomorrow.

Ill run out and stick the ohm meter on it and see what I get. I fired it back up just to make sure it was still restricting me to 4 amps.... If fired right up and let me take it on up to operating range around 45 amps no problem any thoughts on this? I was welding for a good hour before it started s...

Hey guys I was working on my Tig skills (lack there of) and all the sudden between welds I went from normal operation to no power... when i floored the pedal it let me get up to a wopping 4 amps before this I was running 40-50 amps. It is a Syncrowave 350 with a miller 14 pedal and a miller diamond ...

Thats what I am thinking that it to be replaced not sure exactly how to clean the valve. Or are you talking about the contacts?

I like horizontal band saws. They take a little longer to cut, but the cut is a lot cleaner than an abrasive saw. A lot quieter, too. I have a Kalamazoo 9Aw which has a 12 inch cut, so if I have to do a lot of lengths, I can load that up with as many pieces as it will take and cut them all at the s...

Yes I think so... I know the arc is more controllable looks like most of it was steel that got into the tungsten, I have a lot to learn about tig but all and all it worked good except the gas dosnt shut off until the machine shuts off and I have it set to stop after a 6 second delay.
