The date has been set!

How, when, where, and why you say? Here are the details:...

I also MIG weld floor plates and TIG the bars, easiest way to do it. I wouldnt trust the stitch welding either.... Couldnt you ask them to TIG weld all the joints?

Yea I hear dust is a big problem with the machine, i was thinking of making a water table for underneath, then using an overhead vent system since, in my shop there is an exhaust pipe cut through the roof alread where my PCAM is sitting, it was for an old heater that we took out.... or do you think...

Hello,

I just purchased a slightly used Plasmacam system, the seller accidentaly forgot to send the instruction video along with it, and it will take a few days for it to get here. I got everything setup, i just need to make a plasma control cord for the arc start etc. The pinouts for...

They do make dies that are good for 16ga material, never bent that thin of material, but if they make them, i would hope the bend is decent. I would imagine the press on the bend would be pretty big and you might loose some diameter. Maybe ill try it tonight when i get home........

I also have the Pro Tools 105 HD, Ive had great success with it, although I do plan to convert it to Hyrdaulic soon.

Ive also seen alot of people drill a hole in the floor after the cage is tacked, then drop the whole cage down and weld up the tops. I dont think that is real safe, but alot of people do it, I guess if you weld another plate on the bottom of the car, it would help. I like the idea of the Micro Tig...

Just checked the local Airgas, they dont carry it either. Every website I come across is showing this chart:

Looks like 4043 will be fine, any other input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, ill keep searching. I had to go with 3003 because the plenum has a few tight bends, I used to use 6061 but I cracked too many pieces bending, the 3003 will bend every wich way and no cracking......

Thanks again,
Jim

Im having the hardest time trying to find 1100 series filler in a 3/32" size. Weldingsupply.com has it in 1/16", and can get 3/32" in about 2 weeks for $3.95/lb. Weldwire.net can get it sooner, but they want $7.95/lb, anyone know a source out there who might keep it in stock. Im welding...

Hello,
I build custom intake manifolds for import/sport compact cars, mostly turbo cars. Most of the peices I have waterjet cut locally. The plenums are made from 1/8" thick, and the bottom of the plenum where the runners go into is made from 3/16" thick. I usually use all 6061,...
