    Small Welding Bottle

    I always just swap my tanks if I think im getting low before the weekend so I dont have to worry about it. Here in Ohio my local supplier is good to me 100 bucks for a three year tank lease and 20 dollar fill-ups each time after that. The O/A tanks i got for a set for $160 for three...

    Hilux Transmission...

    lol I know what an output shaft is, just didnt know the differences between and cruisers and mini truck! I like the sound of a Marlin G52 souped up because I still use the rig as a partial daily driver.

    beefing up the trusty 8274

    Why? The 8274 is fast enough to break parts as is. I dont need any help in that department! Seriously with around 50/ft min. loaded why would you need something faster? I mean that video of his just looks crazy!

    Can I weld to a brake rotor?

    You can do it but it is extremely hard and can blow up in your face if not done correctly. You need to pre-heat, weld with a arc or TIG (with no filler) and then heat it up a 2nd time ASAP after ewlding then wrap it up in insulation for cool down.

    Exo Cage Help....

    You really should use TIG on that. MIG would work but since my life is depending on those welds everytime I go out, I would use TIG no exceptions!

    lincoln vs. miller

    I am an ESAB man myself, many good chopper builders use it and worldwide its more popular than Miller. Not saying Miller isnt a good unit but the ESAB doesnt get the respect the Miller does only cause its not blue!

    Welders for Body Work on the Cruisers

    I have used ESAB migmaster 250 and love it. I think it runs a smoother arc on 220 single phase than a millermatic 250 or 251 single phase. For a top notch weld quality though three-phase has it IMO.

    welding saftey

    Mostly common sense. When welding alone (which isnt a good idea) stop every 20 seconds (pretty easy to do) and look around and check for slag fires. Also use welding blankets when available. Of course always have good ventilation when welding. Some of your gases are heavier than air and when say...

    Help with a new welder! Is it too much?

    A TIG welder can produce (with the right weldor) one of the strongest welds available @ 70,000 PSI tensile. You can do that with a MIG but it is much harder IMO.

    Help with a new welder! Is it too much?

    I would love to have a machine like that. A nice inverter squarewave TIG machine like that is great for welding. It is very hard, but being proficent at TIG is I think much better than MIG. A good TIG welder can weld all your common metals. With MIG you can only do steel,stainless and aluminum...

    Hilux Transmission...

    thanks, i have no idea with regards to a cruiser output shaft. Thanks for the info. The L43 is a better choice than my G 52 for crawling tho? I called marlin and they said they could make the G 52 a very tight tranny.... which is what i want along with good crawling ability.

    Exo Cage Help....

    also what aboot your welding skills? Chromo is a bia to weld good. Also for the windsheld pillars put aboot a 30 degree angle on each one like so / \ that will help much, triangles are the name of the game, sqaures just fold flat!
