Well, it took a while and a couple revisions, but I finished my circle guide for my Powermax 45. Probably more HD than needed, but I always seem to over build!
Next, is putting it to work!
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I need to design a guide wheel, the drag tip is not ideal for a smooth cut. The two handed approach, with one hand on the end of the rod, works okay. Cleaning the surface helps too!

But the swing rod may be a little spindly for rest of it

The rod is 1/4" hardened steel... it is quite stiff. I cut a 13" circle and was pleased. It will probably be good to 36" or more...

Thanks,
Everything was ordered from McMaster-Carr .... probably spent $50 with a couple revisions!
Should be easy enough for the center pin, but I wanted the magnet to help keep the torch vertical that is the main reason for the needle bearing holding the torch.

I like that. I built my own tig torch holder with one of those magnets and some scrap. I literally got done doing a cut out and looked at a couple pieces and thought that would work for a tig torch holder welded them and there it is. I didn't even finish it up. It looks nasty but works great.
It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!

Pretty Impressive Glen. Really nicely made, and using the magnet for the pivot is just perfect. Great job.
