Anything welding

got them at harbor freight?

hardcore

 

I started my TorchMate water table today its a beast. 24ft of 2x4 .120 wall tube and 26ft of 1.75" .120 wall round tube so far I still need to weld on the 16g sheet for the water pan and then mount the TorchMate so I can cut the slats, gussets & feet for the casters. I'm over building the table so i can store 1000+ lbs of plate under the table.

 

^nice

edit: what shielding gas are you using?

 

75%/25%

 

Jerry, man...dude. That is so nice of you to build me a table! You're awesome! Thanks!

Seriously though. That's an awesome looking table.

 

It sucks. You should give it to me and try again

 

Thanks man it will look a hell of a lot better when I mount this bad boy on the top of it

 

now that's just beautiful welding right there.

 

I might have to check it out I just picked up a bunch of consumables for my plasma cutter the other day. Not a cool table like that tho

 

Thanks man I'm trying to make it look pretty

I'm still waiting on my machine torch so I can't do any cutting until Tuesday

 

I suggest you don't check them out unless you have some coin to drop

 

Nice weld, looks like the kind of weld on bicycle frames, sweeeeeeeeet!

 

LOL I think he means come check out mine but yes they are not cheap

 

I just cut once and a while so while it would be bad ass to say "swing by the house, we'll cut that puppy out and have a couple beers...", i don't have the room or the need for that bad ass a tool.

 

gotcha. I was just curious if you liked to use a lot of CO2 for that thickish stuff.

 

I forgot to ask. Which machine torch did you get?

 

First bead on the stick welder


Ten minutes later its getting a little bit better


I think I just need to go a little slower and pay attention to the puddle a bit more. I'm excited to see what I can do with time and MIG welding starts friday so thats more to look forward to.

 

mig is 1000x easier than stick IMO. if you're already doing that good on stick MIG will only be better.

 

Definitely need to slow way down
