Anything welding

I dont know that much lol. Just have worked all different types of jobs.
this is my 10th yr welding/fitting and have had 13 welding jobs lol oooops. But most was with zachry and shaw group tigging pipe/tubes on boilers

 

If they're bolt on I wouldn't worry about the welds. The only force applied is up.

 

I still have a lot of practice to do Stil.
Can't wait to start building shit.

 

Exactly. And the leading edge of the applied force (bottom of the flange) is where my best welds are.

 

It appears that the weld between your frame plates and tube are too cold as well. Proceed with caution

 

Is your polarity set right? Usually with flux core your ground should be negative.

 

Damned if I know. I know the outlet polarity is correct. The only adjustments on the welder are for feed speed and temperature.

 

I was just going to say the same thing they look a little cold to me.

 

Open lid and check wire terminations to buss.

 

hes saying make sure your ground clamp cable is on the the neg terminal

 

Im pretty sure he only can use flux on that welder so the contacts are not even seen.

 

Meanwhile, here is some flux core welding I did this week. Hitch receiver on one of our work trucks. This was done with a Home Depot Lincoln.

 

Ahh. Gotta open it up and check the terminals then.

 

no dual shield?

 

Yeah, that's really clean for flux core without added gas.

 

No gas.

 

Nice.

 

New toy.. Tent sale at Grizzly; retails for $1400 - got it for $500 w/dented motor cover, and missing hydraulic down feed.

What do you all use for cutting lube?

 

Score! I've got one similarly sized... 7x12?

 

Yup.. Gonna see if I can source a downfeed cylinder for less than what grizzly wants.
