Per Jonathan's request here's some pics. Did these this morning not the greatest but was in a hurry. These are the .009" ones, the ones in razor knives are .024. Used my htp invertig 221 set at 12 amps but never used whole peddle. 1/16 tungsten to a point an polished with scotch brite, .023 308 mig wire. The ones that form a "V" are just fused. Never tried a "T" joint might have to give that a shot next time. Pics kind of suck took them with my phone.

I'm not complaining about the photo quality, that's for sure!

They are the "were on sale for $.99 blades", I think they are pretty close to the stanleys I have done. The taper actually isn't that excessively long, I have a fine grit grinding wheel on my bench grinder that only gets used for tungsten prep, and I use that plus a power drill to set the point. 500 pps and I will have to check what I run for background current and whatnot when I am home next. The arc comes off really smooth and doesn't wander with the high speed pulse, usually set amperage to 35 or so and use a .035 308 tig rod. Machine is a thermal arc 400GTSW, kinda amazing what these machines can do if you watch them, I typically use an aluminum heat sink, but I have also done them suspended as well just to be sure of what I was witnessing.Wes917 wrote:Nice work. Are those Stanley's? If so these are the .024's. how long of a taper did you have on that 1/8" tungsten?

I'm not sure why you guys keep buying razor blades that need welding, mine are ready to use right out of the pack. That's almost as dumb as those fellows from an earlier post buying pop cans that need welded. You folks might want to reconsider where you shop, I'm afraid you may be getting ripped off.

Len, I almost agree with you. The razor blades, yes, they come ready ti use, however, the soda cans are definitely a repurposed item.... bought full, need welding after they are empty!

You think that's bad I once had a bolt that needed to be lengthened so I welded it longer lolBraehill wrote:I'm not sure why you guys keep buying razor blades that need welding, mine are ready to use right out of the pack.

I actually did these Thursday night and am just getting around to posting them. I had a SS tig job to do an when I was done I re-sharpened the 3/32" E3 tungsten and went to town. Set the machine on 30 amps. Was quite fun, will have to do it again later. Got talking to others, I really don't think welding razor blades is all that hard compaired to other things. Pop cans are harder, but even they are not that bad. I suppose if one wanted to lay down a very nice bead this would be harder.

So the guys challenged me to weld razor blades in a fillet configuration, I obliged and it was quite fun. I used .035 mig wire for filler. Can you tell we are a little bored?
