hello everybody.

i have two questions for you guys.

-anybody here built an engine stand? and can post some pic's of it? (i live in israel so tools are very expensive here... an engine stand cost like 200$)

- I wtb a small 220V mig. make offers :D


best regards moshik galimidi

 

ok... first of all, building an engine stand would be simple. Just look at the picture and build it.

If you need actual measurements, I can run out side and get them tomorrow. You can get them for like $40 but I dont know how much it would cost to ship. Hopefully if you build one you can pick up scrap or drop pieces of steel over there in Italy at a scrap/metal yard. The vertical leg of the engine stand needs to lean back just a couple degrees, probably 8-10*

On the welder...you want to buy one? Are you looking for recommendations or are you looking ot buy one and have it shipped? I would recommend sticking with the big 3 companies that build welders. They are quality and will last. The big 3 are Miller, Lincoln and Hobart

Why not a clarke welder? Made in Italy and works awsomely...

yup, they have a 120v 130 amp welder as well as 220v 180amp welder on homedepot.com

 

You can also use an ARC welder for that.
It would be the cheapest and I'm sure you can find one in Israel.

 

i guess its just a personal choice... I have a couple buddies taht are professional welders that bleed Miller and my dads work they use all Lincoln TIGS for their aircraft. I believe in buying something you know is quality once than buying something that may break and buy and buy again.

i know i can use an acr....

but in general i'm looking for a mig...

 

isnt it cheaper to buy a stand then to make one yourself...? i got mine for like $45. Unless you WANT to do it yourself... But then again, i have no clue how much shipping is

 

yea i got mine for 30 or something, its chepaer just to buy one, but then again, shipping might kill ya on that one
