Known as a European style pan brake. Allows you to do interrupted folds. If you remove say the left side lower segment from a bend, the apron raises and bends on the right side leaving the left side flat. It could also provide clearance to allow you to do reverse bends. Like bending a flange up next to a flange that is bent down. I find i it allows me to machine bend some parts that I would otherwise have to bend over the edge of the bench, or blocks of wood / odd bits of steel with a mallet or slapper if I only had the more common upper segments. Hope this helps.

what type of tungsten were you using? from other welders ive heard that different types can hold a ball tip way better than others

use white tip or blue.

Hi, I’m new and learning about welding aluminum. I heard that pure tungsten green was best?

@@dawndowling9916 for older trannys sure. But new inverter types use Lanthanated or rare earth. Look them up for reference

@@dawndowling9916 for transformer machines yes. but other colors are fine. green is pure and doesnt handle as much amperage as other doped tungstens. blue(2% lanthanated)(1% lan gold), and chartreuse( snot green) is good. 3/32 up to 250 ish amps, 1/8 for higher than that. it will blow up if you surpass those ranges. try it out. hope you see this message.

It depends on your cup size. Its basically double your cup size so if you're running a #5 10 cfh is good. But every regulator seems to be a little off some are high some are low. Its best to just turn them up until your weld is clean. And probably a lot more amps! Like 120 or more depending on how thick

Ya it was fusion 360 but its so expensive i got rid of it. They want $680 a year now it used to be like $120 a year

Definitely true you can stack dimes up nice and hot. This is specifically for the mig like tig they use in a bunch of offroad shops

@@5thStreetFab I mostly mentioned it because your cut and etch showed arguably that's not such a good idea. Get good penetration and stack dimes... just saying that

@@drumtwo4seven i totally agree

Haha I love them! I think ill do one every couple weeks and normal ones the other time

@@5thStreetFab sounds like a plan to keep everybody happy brother! 🤙

Thanks! Im thinking about it!

Haha thanks peter. Half the fun is finding funny broll to throw in

It's the worst man!

man that is some repetitive work! go for it bud!
