1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My area of NC always has a constant breeze, making it virtually impossible. Not saying it cant be done, but I wont bother with it anymore.

 

I tend to run as little gas as I can get away with. Any breeze will fuck up a weld. I have a cieling fan in my shop. It's off when I MIG weld.

 

I wouldn't ever do it on a pickup, it wouldn't hold up well. Most people v-band it so they can have sections of lighter alum tubing and still mate it up with mild steel and stainless portions.

 

Looking forward to pics of the welds. that should work pretty good for you...until you outgrow it

 

With my 115 volt machine and its tiny nozzle, too much gas will cool the puddle too quick, too little gas gets blown away. Either way it results in bird crap.

 

If I'm outside I'll push as much as 22CFM, inside I'll let it be as low as 12

 

I run 20. Doesnt matter between the mig welder at my work, or my tig welder at home. 20 seems to be the magic number.

 

LOL. I wish I knew how much CFM i'm pushing. I broke the flow meter years ago. I just know I'm around 5 psi on the secondary gauge.

 

Dog pics...

 

Can do

 

What would happen if kitteh decided to cut loose on the doggos?

 

Cat's like "If you aren't gonna kill me would you mind just fucking off so I can go back to sleep"

 

It would destroy them, but they're ambush predators not much for straight up attacking unless desperate.

 

What!?! Ok

 

The rest of would fuck it up

he’s on the hunt for a girlfriend, I dunno if you saw my pictures early but something bigger kicked his ass

 

@Sperrunner go distract him.

 

This

 

Those dogs would kill it like it was a house cat

 

With his inept laziness and lack of welding skills, the odds are in your favor.
