    I’ve had mine for about 12 months it does what I want it to do welds comfortably up to 6-8mm. I’ve haven’t had a problem with the duty cycle and have done plenty of projects where I’ve used a couple of reels with very little stopping. I the only thing I can knock on it is the reel size but have plenty at hand and keep on welding. I would recommend this to anyone getting into welding.👍👍👍

    I can think of another potential downside and a possible solution: you don't get a steady stream of air because you have to go back and forth and you might be able to fix that by having two bellows working in tandem so the air never stops.

    They will defiantly mess ya up for a bit, always good practice to wear a respirator when welding but in the case of burning off the zinc, I think doing it outside was the best bet (still had a respirator but I could see were all the burning zinc was sticking to the fire bricks)

    when you melt brass you lose Zinc, if you don't replace it brass becomes brittle. Don't smell the smoke. A brass melter showed me 3 small marble shaped rocks that were removed from his gall bladder. anecdotal evidence is often the best evidence.

  • @craftedbytimyt
    @craftedbytimytАй бұрын

    That's rough mate, a lot of the time you wont notice the damage until its really bad. On the other note it seems zinc isn't exactly easy to find here in Perth, I've only had a preliminary look at it but to be honest I would prefer to add back tin, just because its nicer to work with when melting down, but it is also pretty hard to find Tin, plus its expensive. Thanks for the comment, and the advice. Happy crafting

    Could also be some organic matter in the sand that lets off a bunch of gas when heated. Last time I did anything like this I made up my own mix of sand and stuck it in a dutch oven inside the wood stove in the house and heated it right up to burn anything out then added some water back in to make my molds and then dried it next to the fire for a good while before casting

    @@craftedbytimyt can't remember the exact proportions but I used some clay cat litter as a binder for the sand that I heated and ground into a powder and some very fine sand which I then sieved to make sure no big bits got in then treated it as described earlier in the fire place. Worked well enough to do some nicely detailed castings of train parts. Switched to investment casting after that as I needed even more intricate parts and it was less of a pain to 3D print them then burn that put of the investment in a second hand kiln

    @@craftedbytimyt couple hundred to a couple of thosand dollars depending on how you go about assembling your equipment. Once you have the stuff some of it is reusable elsewhere like small vacuum chamber setup you can also use for lots of other things... You'll need ; a kiln or some other oven capable of reaching and sustaining burn out temp and curing temp for your molds, a whisk and a bowl to mix investment, a flask to set up your waxes in, wax or other material that can burn out, vacuum for degassing investment, a home made set up for vacuuming the molds to drawn metal in(not hard to make) I justified it on the grounds that I got an old pottery kiln on the cheap to do the burn out and curing which I then also used for some ceramics projects. The vacuum came in handy for degassing epoxy on the side and degassing liquid rubber to make nice molds for epoxy items. Once you have everything the price difference comes down to investment powder to maks the mold, the cost of wax for the master, and price of power to cure things. More creative you get the easier the cost is to justify

I can only find them in the US and they are not the size or font that I like and really expensive to post. If you're interested in doing things with brass you might have a market in Australia for brass letter keyrings. I'm in Queensland.

    yes, so the flaps have to cover the holes as best as possible to avoid air traveling backwards, this could also be assisted by adding another piece of wood in the second lower chamber halfway across the outlet valve, this would direct airflow outwards rather than to the other end of chamber.

    Alen keys replace them with T wrench Alen keys which are available in different lengths, Then use will be much faster and easier, Regarding the fine thread on the leadscrew makeanother handle or a bigger holding nut so you can either have two handles on the leadscrew that you can than make an adaptor for a battery drill to drive it faster when the auto feed is disengaged. Turning most important you need feeler gauges to shim the tool height to just below the centre of the stock to be machined for best results to cut properly, I would replace the tailstock jacobs chuck with a keyless chuck easier to use no chuck keys to loose and usually more accurate when drilling, Buy yourself some centre drills to make a starting point for when drilling and it will be much easier to drill. I use Lathes to make tools such as for replacing bushes or needle roller bearings in motorcycle suspension but seriously find a copy of some of the amatuer machine books many of which date back over half a century for awesome tips and tricks you will be amazed at what even that lathe can do, I started of with a 1030's vintage Drummond Lathe made in the UK

    thanks mate there is a lot to learn on this subject, I have started by getting some center drills and some T wrenches. Whenever I tighten a keyed chuck I will always tighten from each side so I know its relatively centered, problem I find with the tail stock of this lathe is that the chuck seems to be too heavy.
