    Any one have a good system that they like for welding 1" aluminum plate

    The end results are going to be used in making the molds for casting Aluminum parts

    Myself I like having a split system because sometimes it just works better to be able to suspend the feeder

    looking at a liquid cooled gun

    I am A Miller person and they seem to have excellent support in this area

    Although the Lincoln Rep is looking pretty cute!!

    Very nice. Not sure about the wood pic, though, usually that follows after a pic of a hottie...unless someone has an urge to tap that bumper.

    I'm not here to judge.

    Just look at the build thread
    First day of welding class at school. They have an almost brand new welding shop that's fucking orgasmic. Wish I got to spend more than 5 hours a week here.

    Ask maybe you can??

    Some instructors just love to see that extra effort!!

    If there is room. Of course the students in class get attention first .

    I spent as much time as I could in the welding lab.

    Ok, so I ordered a 1"x12" solid aluminum bar (6061) for a project, need to cut 2 1/4" pieces off of the bar, at school we have a bandsaw (I think the teacher would let me use it to cut it), and at home I have a chop saw with a steel blade but i don't think thats a good option.
    What would be the best way to cut it?
    I can cut it a little larger than needed and have my machinist make sure it's perfectly square and the right size.

    Sawzall or hack saw. Don't use the chop saw, it'll clog immediately.

    I vote band saw !!

    While Chop saws Might have some uses I have yet to find any!!

    Perhaps if you have eleventeen hundred pieces that need to be cut at break time

    I'm with you.

    I would not be without a band saw. Those chop saws only belong in muffler shops.

    If my band saw gave up the ghost tomorrow, I'd have another one by the end of the day.

    Not sure if its been mentioned already but turtle wax does wonders. I put some on my lens every day and the lens life over doubles.
