SouthPaw,
that is exactly what happens. Rather quickly as well.

Re: Building steps / warpage control
Not sure yet. I know there will be glass involved but not sure of what look he wants. I told them I am interested in building the railing but not if they want every weld polished.
Got any suggestions?

Re: Cutmaster 42 / Plasma opinion
One of my customers has a High Def plasma. Definitely can't afford one of those
I just finished up a project where the parts were laser cut. Really nice. Less warpage than a plasma or a shear.

Re: Building steps / warpage control
@ Len I welded the opposite side of the original weld. I didn't want to do the preload method as I figured there would be inconsistencies with the set up (and my patience). Step one (Verify the warpage) Stairs crooked.jpg Step 2 ( A line to guide my weld. I purposely went in the opposite direction o...

Re: Cutmaster 42 / Plasma opinion
Really? this is common? Most of the cuts I have seen are pretty straight. Now this is metal I buy or CNC machines I work on. I am not comparing CNC machines to free hand but the operators seem to rarely change out the consumables. I can see the "flame" come out crooked. What I do is turn t...

Re: Cutmaster 42 / Plasma opinion
@Welding Mike. A lot. More than 5°. It starts at 0 to 0.5° off but it rapidly cuts a notch in the consumable and begins to bevel. I machined a spacer to make sure I was keeping the torch 1/8" off of the material and true. It still gives me a bevel. Basically any thing thicker than sheet metal w...

Cutmaster 42 / Plasma opinion
I am borrowing a friends cutmaster 42. In short I am not impressed. I have used it in 2 different location and here is what I don't like. the consumables don't last. My LWS says I am getting typical usage (about 40 cuts) from the consumables. I don't buy it. I have used it at my shop, where the air ...

Re: Building steps / warpage control
Here are some pictures of the stairs and how they have progressed.
The metal has a 1.5" thick Mohogany tread on each one.
The finish is sandblasted with a coat of clear coat on each section.

Re: Building steps / warpage control
I was considering doing a second pass on the opposite side. Basically a blank pass to help correct the warp page. I have seen that done several times. Anyone have any experience with that?

Re: Building steps / warpage control
@AK weldshop, Cool link, the steps he is making are bent and those edges will help battle warpage. (in my experience). Really nice welds as well @ Artie fin HAha, true. Everything will get caught in the triangles. I left some distance from the stringer to help battle that. Also this isn't my house a...

Re: welding and surrounding hazards
It is saw dust. More accurately cardboard dust. Also some paperwork the employees shove down rather than walk to the recycle bin. I have a buddy who used to weld and told me to be careful. Even if everything looks OK don't assume it is. He set fire to a wall and had to gut it to put it out. He could...

You can never be too careful. I am taking apart some metal guarding and here's what i found in one of the posts.

repairing a broken shaft
Here are some pictures of a machining job where I had to weld in a shaft. This weld was done with an HTP tig set on arc at 100 amps.
