Ah, I go nights. Been at the annex the last 3 phases.

Can you not put the replaceable cutting edge on it?

From what I've heard, a lot has changed in the past few years.
I hadn't heard that yet.

I was running around 115 with 1/8 gap and filler. 3/32 tungsten.
Make sure you aren't weaving too wide. For me, I don't let the tungsten point go past the inner edge of the bevel.
Also slightly force the filler in. Go easy though.

In the latest welding journal, I saw these http://www.galgage.com/measuring_gap-a-let.html (maybe not same brand, but same function)
Do they actually work well?

Sent from my SM-T537R4 using Tapatalk

Curious also. Really been thinking about it.

Sent from my SM-T537R4 using Tapatalk

I do.
What phase are you in? I'm in 7.
Not any others that I've seen so far.

Sent from my SM-T537R4 using Tapatalk

Incorrect preheat and cool down.

Cool. [THUMBS UP SIGN]
Whatever works.

Welcome.
Get you some scrap metal and start laying beads.

I broke my first ever bend. Was done for fun.
Single bevel 2g, mig root, dual shield fill and cap.
Cap was good, root cracked. Was a little speck of something in there.
Didn't do any grinding during, just wire wheeled the flux off.

Chassis cabs are odd creatures when it comes to beds.
Frame rails and rear axle is narrower than normal pickups. Makes it harder to just pick one up.
Luckily got one for mine for $400. A little beat here and there, but it does it's job.

^ Better than on your only foot. Lol
Always gotta have, a upside to look at.

Repairing pulling parts is good, them guys always braking stuff.
Should've told him to delete that dang power robbing EGR. Lol

Wasn't something like this just posted? Yesterday I think.
It's interesting. A lot were saying Tig was very common even in the older days.
Field work will still be more SMAW. Think of the elements.

I agree, I wanna see a women's version of the "what I welded" thread.

But the problem here is, what if the person with 20 years experience can't teach worth a chit?

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

I thought they looked great also.

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

I think it was on oil burners.
Basically that the mounting can be a problem, as the bed is more rigid than the truck frame.

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

$80 if it works, I'd take it.

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

Oh, definitely. Lol
Think the truck will be taking any flexing at all?
Just something I had seen brought up on another forum when building a flatbed like that.

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

Nice.
No headache rack? Or not that far yet?

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

What is the actual difference?
Like what happens differently with each setting?

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

Like a ripper bar?
