The so called "welding engineer"where I work is a complete retard. He has us welding 3" thick steel with 0.45 flux core and 1/8" stick rods. Not to mention he's got us setting the machines WAY to friggen low! Guy's are constantly getting incomplete fusion showing up on the X-Rays...

I just threw away a pair of carhart pants because of a hole that could have been patched if I knew how. It would be nice to be able to sew more
D-rings on to dive at times. It seems like theres more than enough, just not wear I want them....

You read my mind exactly!


Well we could always help them along....

I wish I was able to take home ec. I'm always having to by new clothes for work to replace old ones that could eaily be fixed with a little patch work.
But do to "limited budget constraints" they colud only afford to teach it to so many kids a year....

Thanks! ...

I'll get you guys some pics of our sub arc machines at work tomorow. We weld most of our pressure vessels that way. We also do alot of piping with it since it produces super clean welds.

How did you atach the outside skin of the body to the tubular frame?

He said he would like to set it up for a 30 Ton trailer. I'm thinking 7/8" plate would work well but I'm not quite sure.

We have several at work and man are they slick! They punch trough steel over an inch thick like it's butter. They produce a h e l l of a lot of shavings though. Congrats on the new toy. I just might have to steel it.

Thanks for the advice! My dad has a general idea of how to do it but there's some key strength requirements that he dosn't know how to design. I'll ask him what his load requirements are to get a better idea....

Great work! I have to fab and install one on my dad's Ford L8000 dump. I'm not quite sure how thick is apropriate though. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not quite sure just what factors I need to consider in the design process But I have a general Idea of what to do.

As far as I'm concerned the ASME cert. tags on most compreors are for liability purposes. I'd trust some of the farmer welds my dad makes before some of those chinese tanks. At work some pressure vesseles don't even require ultra sound or X-ray testing and they hold as much as 2,500psi. However, They...

Thank you for you'r concern. Unfortunetly I did get laid off and yes I found another job shortly after. They based the decision off there past workload from the decade or so they've been around but unfortunatly they slowed down to about 2-3 new jobs a week compared to there normal 50-60 jobs a week....
