1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I think Eric from Relentless was using a Tweco multi for some time before he changed to something else. They are capable and convenient for someone looking to save space and do it all for less.

 

You sending it a little too far and slamming it into park or something?

 

I mean I beat the shit out of it without doing any maintenance before this year lol

 

Could have potentially saved the front gears by keeping more on top of the oil loss but it's hard to say without knowing if the pinion dropped before I bought it lol

Can't wait until this comes out

 

I’ve got the pig tail that goes into the actual radio

 

Tree rat with a big gat?

 

What is the practical application for stick welding? I’ve never heard of anything but structural welding using stick.

 

That's right

I'm an angel

 

They do have Tree Simulator 2023 on Steam as well; guy with over 1,000 hours into it recommends it

 

Look at a bass boat. Usually easy to replace the wood on those if they go bad. They’re just panels.

 

How obtuse

 

Plus they have the fattest metallic glitter paint ever

 

Same as other things.

You can weld up a custom bumper, sheet metal or even body panels on a vehicle, structural (as you mentioned), anything you can get an electrode on.

You'll find electrodes as small as 1/16 that don't require much current to weld with, mostly 6013 which doesn't penetrate as much so you don't go blowing through metal.

You've got electrodes much larger than that as well, just all depends what you're going to fuse together.

You can make a welding table, and use a stick welder to put it together. A ladder rack, bed rack, same stuff you'd use MIG or flux core on.

 

So when would you choose stick over mig? Preference?

 

It's great for thick materials, welding outdoors, and welding thick materials outdoors

Afaik all pipelines are stick welded, for example

 

Preference is a small part of it.

You'd choose stick when conditions aren't favorable (outdoors) or you simply need something light to carry with you (or both).

You can run an extension cord out to the yard or wherever, and power your stick welder for a quick job mending a fence together.

Plus side here is - no bottle, no wire controller, etc. just overall less moving parts. The biggest benefit being that the electrode has a flux that protects the weld as soon as you start welding with it. This protects it from any porosity that would otherwise contaminate welds done with solid core.

 

This made me fucking lol

Do you know the camper game for road trips?
