Just as in hydraulic brakes, the bigger the gap, the easier it will be to bend. This will also cause a larger radius. I would say minimum you could go 1 - 1.5 on alum up to 1/8. 1.5x on 1/8" steel. 2x on everything thicker. The best suggestion I have is to go get steel bent on an hydraulic brake...

I have anchored down hundreds of railings. I use either 1/4' anchor bolts 4 per foot for leveling, or I use a 2" core drill and hydraulic cement. Epoxy works best but can take time and costs more.

As far as a commercial setting, I would weld a 3" x 3" plate on bottom with...

The best way to figure it out is to feed with both hands at the same time. The first one done 10 lengths wins. I use both hands all the time. I use my elbow for foot control when I am in a ladder. I also have almost 15 yrs experience. I still don't know how to walk the cup well because I don't do standard...

I agree with everyone here.

I have all those machines and I use them that way. I will say that it is the only way to go. I bought a second hand HF unit that was brand new to alum tig off my trailblazer302 and I have used it a whooping 2 times. I will sell it if you want it. There is no...

A leak can come from anywhere. When I am on a job, I always connect up the gas line, turn it on to pressurize the system then shut it off. This will tell me if I have a leak anywhere in the system from the reg to the welder solenoid. I had a major leak from the threaded connection on the regulator and...

I use brass quick connects for argon line and steel for air lines. This keeps people from using argon as air and vise versa.

If you are starting out and trying to learn tight joints, then build yourself an even worse joint. Once you can get the hang of a horrible joint then you can easily manage a difficult joint.

I will also say that you are using a rather large torch anyways. That was a "hobby" torch...

Give me a call if you want. I work on a few customers with shears and big saws. I can go over a few things with you. PM me your number since your box is still probably full and I can help you out. I can send pictures of my setup as well.

Did you ever get your shear problem fixed? I just purchased and installed a 230 ton press brake and a 1/4" x 10' shear. I have 2 30hp RFC hooked up together and they run fine.

How old is your welding rods? I had this issue to a while ago, I switched rods from 4043 to 5356- joint wasn't that critical and it welded perfectly. I am guessing after that someone left my rods out and they didn't have black on them but probably has something on it that acetone didn't remove.

How did you build the water cooler? Is it just a piece of 6" sanitary pipe or are there other parts inside? What is that white hose on the front?

Overall I like it, looks sweet.

When I worked for a roofing sheet metal shop, we made 384 all stainless chimney caps for a large high end development. Some were as big as a 4x10 sheet with up to 4 holes in it.

We soldered everything. We used a propane roofing solder iron with large 1# bars (5/8" square I think)....

Just go with what is down the street. Almost all major stores/fast food/strip malls have trash enclosures. It is always way easier to build something that is already there.
