Follow up on this project. I tested settings on some scrap and ended up with 140 Amp, DCEN 1 S Preflow, 6 S postflow #13 Gas Lens I stitched welded and jumped around from quadrant to quadrant until it was finished. I used compressed air to cool the welds quickly until I could touch it with a bare ha...

CJ737, yes, I will be welding the tabs as well. You can see the top tabs on the top, but there are also tabs in the bottom plate as well. Everything will be welded and blended so it looks like one piece... It will be used to make juice. I have asked the laser cutting shop for some scrap to practice ...

check that vid out. he also has another one on travel speed with stainless.

This was really helpful, thank you for sharing.

One more question... Would you recommend using pulse?

This is great. Thank you.

If I do 1 inch stitch welds, should I let the piece cool in between? Or try to keep it hot until the piece is welded completely?

Would you recommend walking the cup?

I'm getting ready to weld a piece that will be part of fruit press. I have never welded this thick of stainless (304) before. I had the pieces cut with interlocking tabs and the strength will come from the structure, not the welds. The welds will be to keep everything in place and be blended smooth ...

Arno, I'm planning on using a 1/4" thick silicone gasket. Should be pretty forgiving. CJ, I was trying to avoid the long welds on the back. Do you feel like that won't add more distortion because the welds will be longer. There are holes that will be laser cut on the left and right panels that ...

I'm designing a box that will be in a juice processing facility. It will require wash down, but it is not be in contact with any food product. My plan is to get the thing laser cut (there are some features that will be cut that are not shown) and then they will bend up the sides and I will weld up t...

Wow. This is awesome feedback. Thanks for responding so quickly. I just did some studying up on Solar Flux B... I want to try some... I have already thought of a few projects including this one. I'm planning on using pulse to try and minimize distortion, but I haven't determined the settings yet. I ...

About two years ago I made smoker for my father in law using two drums welded together like a "T" Smoker Compressed.jpg Now, I'm being asked to make one out of stainless drums. I think it will be a fun project, but I'm not sure how best to purge the back sides of both drums... it is a comp...
