Anything welding

I’ll have to keep this in mind for when my table gets gunked up too

 

Nothing ever wrong with a handjob

 

The "anything" in anything welding

 

I always cobbled wood racks together with steel that followed me home from work.

Now the wood is stored inside and just moved close to the stove as needed for a few days with of burning.

 

I love a wood fire, just never gets cold enough to even need the heater on

 

Give me cold over the heat just no so cold metal does strange things.

As my brain is reduced to 25 % of normal above 65 degrees the Sun just makes things worse.

 

Oh same, that's why the thermostat in my house stays at 68.

I prefer cold vs hot and where it's at now is perfect (indoors).

 

Okay welders. Have some NDT for you. And go...

 

Also...

 

Cap and Root undercut on the x rays?

 

Hard ware limits keep me from seeing any real detail .

I am sure my old eyes are not helping.

 

Guess I gotta go buy some bottled beers now! Hahaha thanks @Kwikvette

 

Hell yeah

Can never go wrong with 805.

 

@mjbtaco

Maybe seeing those firsthand could be the nudge for you to get your own cnc table

 

Always down for some 805!

 

You gotta turn them up at a 45 degree angle to get that last little bit!

 

Who even uses those anymore

Jk

 

You're not wrong there. They are dangerous as shit and I usually avoid them now that I have the 14" Evolution and plasma. But I was cutting 4 foot sections of expanded metal for the top on my new wood rack and that can be a bit of a pain with plasma. In hindsight, I think I will try torch cutting it standing up and cutting downward instead of laying horizontal.

I made the 1st pass (heavy gauge) with the hand torch. I've cut exp metal with it before and it's easy to drop down in the low spots and hit the side of the cup, and I was getting some melting as its kinda tricky to move quickly and not miss the area you want to cut. Also, I hit the duty cycle more than using the torch on the plasma table. I've never hit duty on sign cutting, even with some pretty elaborate pieces with long cuts.

I do use my dremel cut-off wheel to clean up small errors on some of the signs I cut. It has saved me from scraping probably 5-10 signs that had flaws. Cut-off and small grinding stones, especially the tapered cone shaped ones, really come in handy.

 

Me!! It is still my device of choice for quick cutting ! .

So handy always within reach!

 

Here's that clothing rod installed
