First thing I built with my first TIG welder... a cart, in aluminium. Pro tip: leave the most visible welds 'til last... they should be the best after the practice : )
@stefantrethan7 жыл бұрын
First thing I built with my stick welder was a belt sander. All the welds needed grinding, lots of it, except for one, the one that is most visible. I don't know how and I don't know why but it turned out perfect, wasn't even one of the later ones. If you haven't got the skill luck will do.

Such useful stuff that you need that kind of experience to know about. Good stuff :)

If you need thicker filler rod, just use blue tape to bundle a few together. Maybe some CA glue. (To the humor impaired out there - don't do this.)
@maklu79352 жыл бұрын
It's actually not uncommon to tack multiple rods together, especially for poorly fit open root welds, filling deep grooves faster, or making extra wide cap/cover passes. Works best with 1/8 or larger diameter, but with practice can be done well with smaller sizes too. The main advantage is you get the extra width of a larger diameter rod without the extra height, so amperage stays about the same.

Loving your channel, saw the usual 1 amp / .001 rule annnnnnnd for tigging in the sheet metal shop 50% of the machines are set to 150 amps, 20% of the guys are set to 310 amps and the rest 100-120, all for 0.060 crs. Quick tacks are more reliable with higher amps and take less time and have less chance of distortion and burn through, and some of the super fast guys can run a bead much faster at higher settings. Also less time fiddling with the machine :P

Using a assembler/disassembler cartridge (distributed as video game of the 80's on the 'coco2', a computer using the 6809 CPU), I used the disassembler to disassemble the disassembler in the cartridge. I worked on this version until it became acceptable to the assembler. Using my own disassembler to disassemble the assembler on the cartridge. My version saved time by creating a version closer to what an assembler need. After some work, the assembler could create a brand new binary executable of the assembler. Soon after, I got a x86 base system with a text editor able to open almost 640K. The x86 version of the 6809 assembler and disassembler were /still today, would beat in compilation time any product on the market. It is almost cheating since they were written in x86 assembler. I don't expect anybody watching this old Tony to understand any of this jargon. It just shock me how much work I was willing to do to study a video game, Robotron:2084.

Slower speed equals more heat into the work. Cranking amps up and moving faster will shorten up the soak. And lesson the metal movement as well. To a point of course. Depending on the speed you as a welder are comfortable going and how many amps the work can handle.
