Very informative.

[@SprocketRacing]

Great tute, thanks! So THIS is how to do it properly! Years ago, I repaired a 5" bench vise that had broken in half. I used a 230V wirefeed, cranked waaay up, using .035 Innershield (FCAW). I hit that thing with such a vengeance, I think it took hours before I could touch it barehanded! It never did crack and is still good to this day, guess I got lucky. Next time, I can really do it right!

[@jose89mr1]

very good, you should make some ''how to'' videos for better understanding on welding and don't forget ''tips''

[@Chupria]

thank you for not showing your product down your views throat...respect.

[@heidigray4922]

[@spelunkerd]

[@ramonrodriguez4154]

Muy interesante el video

[@rotlerin]

OMG. No disrespect, it's Buzz Lightyear!!! You're my hero. Damn fine welder too. Thanks

[@Mr05sti]

Thank u so much!

[@untitledC64]

the only thing i would have to comment on, no matter how good of a welder you are, no human can do that kind of work with one arm freely in the air, i would have both arms resting against the bench making sure that i could maximize the steadiness of the electrode

[@gza06955]

Wrong.. keep practicing

[@65sgboogieman8]

untitledC64 yea you gotta get ya weight up

[@Missioneer]

Learn something new everyday! SegaCD When you're a welder, you make thousands. ;)

[@bicylindrico]

The sound of the vacuum added drama to your welding.

[@MrSETCOMS]

wich is the number of electrode?

[@lincolnelectrictv]

Nickel 55 or Nickel 99. This was done a couple years ago but if the cast iron can be repaired it would be one of these two.

[@MrSETCOMS]

Thank You¡¡

[@paulswartz9104]

When you weld cast iron with any electrode,be sure the price of scrap iron is high so you will have something when you are finished.

[@jojoemrick]

Lot's of good information, but peening should be done with a ball peen. The Chipping hammer is pointed and will add stress. Love your explanation of cooling.

[@theflyinwop]

It just don't get better Paisano

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

I agree this was informative, all the other I've viewed so far are just testimonial marketing BS, Content interests me, I'm not coming here for advertising.

[@SWC44]

I personally would Of Brazed it!,,Jack

[@paulswartz9104]

Good thing that's not a real casting that weighs about 3000 pounds . If you use that method on a heavy casting it will be broken before you're half done. This is a veteran torch welder that's repaired castings for years. Too bad it's a lost trade. Brass or bare cast iron with the proper flux are the only way to go.

[@landfillmechanic]

Please make a video.

[@65sgboogieman8]

Paul Swartz yea let’s see this knowledge

[@WTFIsThisGuyDoing233]

So basically take it to someone. Got it.

[@sirhankysur]

gotta love martensite brittleness .

[@valcye]

Buzz Lightyear?

[@paulswartz9104]

I still think all you stick welders should visit a real cast iron welding shop such as Midwest Welding in Casper Wy. and see how it's really done!

[@65sgboogieman8]

Paul Swartz lets see it man!
