I'm really glad i found that manual. I thought this machine was too ancient to even have an online manual. I thought wrong. The other issue i'm having that the heat wont decrease. The mounting stud/swivel that holds the threaded rod that adjusts the shunt is busted. The heat increases but to decrea...

Interesting project, did you ever consider modifying the 924/944 transmission for this?

I am now a fan of the dry cut chopsaw! I have the Dewalt... It amazed me when I cut a piece of 6" HR C channel

My understanding was the LASIK does a good job of correcting the distance vision, however, reading glasses are generally needed... I have issues with astigmatism and with custom contact lenses, correction was great, however, as I have gotten older the need for reading lenses has increased... I can s...

Formula:
Circumference = 2πr
h = (height of helix x 360) / angle
Length = √(h^2 + circumference^2)
Unit Rise = h / circumference
Handrail Radius = (4π^2r^2 + h^2) / 4π^2r
where:

π = 3.1415926
r = Radius
h = Height required for Helix to complete one revolution

For a work/production environment, I'm not sure going with a Chinese unit is the best way.

The simple way to cap the ends is with pressed steel post caps!

One thing to keep in mind is many or most of the salesmen don't/can't/haven't done any welding!

It really comes down to what you are trying to accomplish and how important the project is.

The Genie looks great 4350psi, smaller and lighter, I want 3!!! Argon,CO2 & Helium.... wonder how much?

But I wonder about CO2, are the tanks filled with gas under pressure or in liquid form by weight?

Is this a beat up combustion chamber from a broken valve or something similar?

You are just at the wrong end of the spectrum.... it's the young ones who haven't been on the planet long enough to develop very many "life skills"

Good to hear Elmo, you have 2 years on me, but is still feels good to make things!

See if you can come up with the overhead crane design and show the Dr. how beneficial it will be to take a load off your spine, with the proper harness. Then, have him write a prescription for it as durable medical goods!

Hope you recover soon and get back into the shop.

I have decided to go water cooled! Just too many times the air cooled gets too hot to hold! I'm old, I don't like it so change is coming... Bought a Coolmate 4 and now trying to decide on which torch. The current torch of interest is the CK 200 series CK225SF-FX The Flex-Loc seems to be too radical ...
