Hi mark I really like the wheel guard. When you use the pulse function you have to set your amps higher than usual to compensate for the pause. I‘m shure your welder has a spot welding function try it out. It helps tremendously putting on the initial tags on thin stuff. The DCMT shank is called neutral you can use it either for right and left-hand cuts. Glad you liked the chuck it#s supposed to be nos the gew on it is still the original.

Those Tig kits are really nice, I've got one each for both air and water cooled torches. One tip I picked up over years, was to leave the long back caps in the drawer and just run the short one. That means splitting each tungsten into three pieces right off, but that works out by having many more to blunt and glob up before stopping to re-grind.🤣

I never thought of it before but watching you drill holes with your drill press, and seeing your vise move around, you should have a magnetic base on the drill press with a good flat bottom vise. You could quickly and easily place items to drill, then securely lock the vise in place, with the mag base. Just an idea, maybe for a future project.

Great job as always. I powder coat everything I can fit into my lab oven. Not only does it look much better, but there’s no chance those parts can rust. I also take off everything I can from a machine that’s painted and powder coat them. The problem is that my oven is just 17 x 17.5 x 28 inches and parts have to be smaller so they can hang in without touching the sides. That’s a really nice grinder. I’m surprised the manufacturer didn’t think of those end covers. If I had the machine I would have done what you have to improve it.

Turned out nicely, odd this was this week's subject for you, as I have spent a little time today looking for a mini Vac to use on the Tool & Cutter Grinder I just spent 10 weeks building. My wheel guard is a cast Aluminium item, that fits onto the end of the spindle housing, but it has a spanner slot that I am hoping can be used to suck the dust back in behind the wheel and out. On the subject of wearing rings while working, back when I was working as a Motor Mechanic, I had my hand up and over a gearbox while standing under the car on a hoist, my wedding ring got hooked up on something, by the time I got it free, blood was freely flowing down my arm and it had cut into me deeply. I took the damn thing off, threw it across the workshop and I haven't worn a ring since.

@RotarySMP

Ай бұрын

Ouch, that must have really suck. Pretty easy to loose a finger. The grinding wheel throws its sparks pretty fast, so the vac can really only work if the spark is heading into the cover.

My first foray into SS TIG welding I used stainless steel bike spoke as my rod. Far from ideal but it did the job.
