    If your good with electronics and can design and build your own control circuits that will be the challenge what good is having a welder .
    With output at one set point

    Plan on a Cap bank to smooth out the output ?

    Weld them together and make it into a welding table. Even better if you put it on a swivel so you can sit and weld and rotate the table :)

    I couldn't have guessed any closer to where the spindle ended.

    Pray tell just how did you bend the spindle ??

    Was it like that when you installed the axle??

    To many Hard landings ?

    Nah. It was a used axle that I recycled. I first thought it was a bent axle. Those are easy to repair. I didn't find this had a bent spindle until I pulled the hub.

    Its hard to see a bent spindle/hub without a tire attached, so I didn't find out until I was towing it, that it was bad.

    How did you clear out the propane take before cutting? Fill with water? Dry ice?

    I've been too scared to cut any open! :bananadead:

    I did one with water, was a royal pain to get the valve in screwed!

    Had to strap it to a 2x4 so it would not rotate AND use a big cheater on my monkey wrench. Dem suckers are glued in tight!

    Once open, filled with water to the brim. Emptied and started cutting!
