My first thought was the same as "Bushytails"--------"There's a reason everything uses spherical end caps, not flat plates!" Definitely needs to be designed by someone who knows tank design.

Having said that a flat plate could be used with several ribs for strength....

Yes normal. I just unplug the controller from machine when I'm not going to be welding for awhile.

Several people here can probably help but they will need your serial number.

This is not something that can be bought. Machine shop is looking into making new ones. The whole cutting machine was designed and built by a past family member in house. No drawings or notes have ever been found. Reverse engineering is the only way for the current generation running the business....

This is what I mentioned. All older feeders/machines had this. Any metal or pvc pipe will work also.

They used to use a spring to hold tight against the back, not sure about now. If you don't have a spacer or spring you can just cut a pc. of pvc pipe to the right size.

No, plenty of all kinds of work but I do anything and everything. I will at least look at all jobs, I can always say no. Sometimes it's just for the challenge, not always about money.
