Thanks for the reply.
I will say that it is not a super sharp line, but it is fairly distinct and was not like this when I first started using the hood. Also, up until when I finally noticed the issue, I found that I had to keep jumping up a shade higher than I normally ran to maintain...

Digital Elite Issues...
I've been using my Digital Elite for about a year and a half now and it has been a great hood up until the last few weeks. I had recently been having some issues with eye fatigue and couldn't really pinpoint the problem until last night. I noticed that when the lens is darkened, it's very light on the... -
Oh joy! I'll give it one more shot with what you recommend FusionKing. After that, it's either getting powder coated or going in the creek. Thanks for the input guys!Leave a comment:

Well, either ground out with a carbide burr or sanded.
I'm welding to a cast aluminum valve cover of unknown composition that is about .090" thick or so. It was prebaked for at least an hour to try to get at least a little bit of crud out of it.
I'm using TIG, an HTP...Leave a comment:

Cast aluminum welds that need to be smoothed and polished...
I'm not new to tigging cast aluminum. I do it quite frequently actually. This latest project, however, is about to push me over the edge. I'm needing to blend the welds and polish them. I've tried time and time again to grind out, make cold passes, fill, etc without complete success. I just keep chasing... -
The best way by a mile is to use dilute muriatic acid. It will remove all mill scale, rust, plating, etc, in about 15 minutes. I always have a 5 gallon bucket sitting around for small parts to soak in.Leave a comment:

That's kind of how I felt about the gussets and thanks for the kind words. These are street cars and drag cars.
Yep, they're all jig welded.

Only weighs 5lbs surprisingly enough.
I wish those were MIG beads
. I TIG those seams with a root and cap pass.
The gussets honestly probably aren't necessary especially considering that DOM is press fit into the flange. Those are 2 of the 3 mounting points for the entire...Leave a comment:

Latest Work - Custom Diff Covers
I've been building these for a while for my car community, but I just thought I'd throw up a pic of one that I just completed. Not totally finished yet, still needs holes drilled/tapped in the blocks on each side for load studs. Let me know what you think!

Any sort of manual pipe/tube cutting jigs for plasma cutters?
I know they make CNC tube cutting machines that use plasma, but is there any sort of manual jig sold that will allow you to get nice straight cuts on tube with a plasma? Some sort of roller setup where you fire up the plasma and just roll the tube by hand against a stop or something. I searched but... -
Oh my wow! That work is completely out of control...Leave a comment:

I agree with both of these guys. I found it's easiest to melt a glob of filler on the joint and step on the pedal to attain fusion. Once you have a tack it should be relatively smooth sailing.

Actually, it's a Type-R B18 Motor. It's been a pretty fun project so far.
I'll keep you guys updated on this project as it goes along with some more pics!Leave a comment:

Motor Swap Mounts...just a little interesting project
This is one of my first times posting in here. I just figured I'd share a little project that I was working on with you guys. I'm more of a hobby type welder so don't be too harsh.
These mounts are for a friend who wants to do some sort of uncharted motor swap into a 91 Prelude. This...
