Alabama thread!

Need some tubing bent? Could make you some killer shock hoops for that SAS.

 

lol. I gotta figure those things out at some point. Seems like a tube bender will be a good investment in the future.

I may draw up some measurements and buy the pre-bent steel to weld up a swing-out from you as a first project. It'll be down the road and a stronger welder before I tackle a SAS build, it is just the main reason i want to learn to weld.

 

That would be a great first project. I can just sell you the tubing at cost for me plus a small cut and bend fee. Wouldn't be much.

And yeah, a tube bender is an awesome thing. Opens up loads of options as far as stuff to build for your truck and even building a full cage. IMO, the only way to affordably own a buggy is to build it yourself with as little outsourcing as possible.

 

if you're getting a 210 amp i would think it's strong enough for any automotive welding you want to do.

it's the amount of welding time or duty cycle that could hurt, but that won't be a problem if only welding for yourself

 

Starting with the 140. Telling myself that i will upgrade to the 210 if I can pay off the 140 by building random crap (Grills and tables) to sell.

 

Meh, welding with a 210 on 220 volts on anything automotive related will run the machine at about its mid range. Should have anywhere from 80 to 100 percent duty cycle welding 3/16. and all your tubing is going to be 1/8. My welder is capable of running welds on 3/8 at 40 percent if I remember right.

 

Maybe one day......

 

I can definitely make a set of those. If I'm seeing it right, its a plate with a tube mounting level with the ground, right?

 

It's a beautiful thing.

 

Gotcha, well when you get around to it, just send me some pictures of where you'll be mounting it. I'll need a shot lined up directly with the vertical, angled support to get the angle measurement and then the hole spacing and width of the vertical support that it'll mount to. Should be able to build it from that.

 

Look what I found today

 

hey, nice cooler!

 

Gotcha. Ignore my PM. Lol.

 

You got me beat on the price by a little bit. But yep!

 

How big is this cooler?!

 

how did you get 200 off the cooler?

@BamaTaco56 I think Miller makes a welding machine that is convertible between 110 and 220 single phase

 

@BamaTaco56 Yeah, here it is.

$2,050 Miller Millermatic 211 MIG Welder, for 120/240V Power Sources

Miller and Hobart. Never used mine on 110, but all I'd have to do is put the 110 plug on the end and plug it in the wall. Automatically detects the change in voltage. Same as the Miller.
