    How do you figure the travel distance at the bottom of the 3 dimensional cube?

    hi mate, I started making stainless exhaust parts like headers, manifolds, etc. My welds usually have colour on them, gold, sometimes even blue. they look nice, do you think theres any benefit to cleaning exhaust stuff like this? Ive found when the exhaust gets used and the stainless discolours, you can usually see a band where the heat affected zone was, not sure if this would help with that

    I have never used bristle brushes before. I dont do any sanitary but do a lot of highly finished stainless and brass for high end retail displays. I wonder how these would hold up as a the first few steps towards a number 4 brushed finish on irregular shaped parts. I am going to order a few. Thanks

    I loved this video because I was a sanitary welder for 5 years. I'm a maintenance mechanic now because that's where the money is but I love this type of work. Once in a while the company I worked for would contract two guys, a fitter and a welder. And they made four times what I was making. I'd like to know how to get that gig.

  • @ssweld3896

    You should make some tacking bands that will hold the bend onto the tube while you tack. And also when you tack have your machine set to about 90amps and on 2t setting and fast tack that's how you tack dairy tube bud

    Bit of a random question, but how would you go about welding Tri-Clamp Flanges into something that's not a tube? Mainly something like a large boil kettle, would you just be taping off the large opening and going about business as usual, pretending the kettle is a giant tube? Secondly, are there any special or different techniques for sanitary welding copper? Appreciate the videos!

  • @BlueCollarDrew

    When welding a tank ferrule to a tank, you can isolate the weld for purging by taping off the face of ferrule and making a large pocket on the inside of the tank with foil or tape or anything. That way you just purge the small chamber and not the whole tank.

    Almost always use the 110 power at the plant. Unless there’s a crappy breaker or gfci.. the 110 wall outlets work fine up to around 110-120 amps

    I just purchased some 316 Sch 40 stainless steel pipe for new davits on my sailboat. I found a good price from Onlinemetals, but the pipe finish is terrible and needs some attention. I was wondering what the best way to clean-up the pipe and found your channel. Perfect timing. I'll order a few of the suggested products to clean and brighten up the pipe.

    European pipe design engineer here, I basically use CAD to make plans and measurements of all these offset distances so our fitters don't have to bother with it. I only have one question: If you use a calculator, how do you convert the base 10 result fractions into base 2, 4, 8 or 16? That seems really bothersome to me, as a metric system enjoyer.
