AgaveHound 06-20-2003, 06:36 PM Talked my boss into buying a Hobart Handler 135! Get this, we were paying $65 a shot to have a piece of .25" SS rod welded! One of the guys here has already fixed 3 of 'em so it should pay for itself in the next 2 months. :cool: Any tips on setting it up or how to get good enough penetration to weld my cage in?

Better ask around on the SS welding also. Old Scout 06-21-2003, 12:42 PM Your going to need a bottle of tri mix to do stainless. AgaveHound 06-21-2003, 01:07 PM I ain't worried 'bout stainless. Guy here at work does that. I just want to practice on the damn thing while I'm babysitting all my operators...way too much time on my hands at work! I know it ain't the welder of choice for welding a cage in, but it's all I have access to and if I don't do it, I'll have to hire it out to Damian. Maybe he can spare some tubing scraps for me to play with...;) troutbum 06-21-2003, 08:12 PM 135 is fine for .120 wall tube?? What are you guys welder bigots :flipoff2: Sure a 170A would be nice, but not a must for a cage??? I can get decent penetration up to 3/16" with my 135A miller. anything thicker and I use the buzz box | |
