VERY nice work.

Looks amazing.

 

The steps are nice and consistent, with good colour. Just get a bit more filler in those fillet welds, and keep at it. Nice work for sure. Using good tubing goes a long way to finished quality.

 

thank you for constructive comment
i will post next job

 

you have got the magic touch, good job!


that DP looks cool.

 

very sexy

 

what do you use to cut your pipe?

 

i use a cutoff saw 14"

 

That really is gorgeous work. It's really a shame that some of this stuff gets hidden on the underside of the car!

So you just use an abrasive wheel cutoff saw? If so, that is even more impressive to me that you can do such precise work!

What kind of welder do you use?

 

lincoln squarewave precision 275 water cooled

the important is not the saw its to prep the tube after cuting it with the belt sander

 

Yea, cutting tube is just cutting for the most part. It's all in the pre-weld prep that determines a lot.

 

I hear you, it's just that I often find it difficult to make straight (accurate) cuts with my abrasive wheel cutoff saw. It would be really hard to do work as precise as this with.

 

While the dry-cut carbide saw I have is nice, I do about 50% of the stainless systems cutting with a zip disc. Once you've done it a bunch, a quick trip to the belt sander is all that is needed, if at all. It beats fighting with the clamp on the saw, and it's faster than when I had the bandsaw. I'm not claiming to break any speed records, but it works fine.
Sewing tape goes a long way. The little things make all the difference...

 

Very impressive work.Canada seems to produce very good fab guys to say the least.

 

Nice work, must be loud though with no silencers!

 

Thanks for clarifying some of that with regard to saw choice -- VERY interesting!!!

What about the sewing tape though? I'm not sure what that is, or how you would use it?

 

i will buy one when i catch a deal ive buy a dynamometer last year it broke me a litle lol

 

Yea, all it takes is a few spins around the belt sander to clean up any material from the cut off saw. Ours has a straight edge backstop as well as a fixture to hold the tubing at an angle, it came with the saw but was too small to reliably hold material 3" or larger so I modified the jaws and it works like a charm. I've never had an issue with cuts being untrue.

 

It's a flexible measuring tape. You can use it as a wraparound like in the pipe industry.
Gives you a straight line to mark and cut with any tool.

 

I'm partial to the Mustang dynos. Good choice.

 

Awesome tip, thanks!!!!

 

i saw your anchor rack in your thread very nice i like the ss plate wend on the mild steel and leave without paint


was it for a mustang dyno? i guess yess its the same color

 

Where are you guys getting this really nice stainless bends???

 

its sanitary ss tubing
you can buy it at any ss shop or almost
here we have a distributor witch sell it for a good price
its called racing piping.com

if you call or emain them sure they will be happy do sell you this ss

 

Yep, for a Mustang Dyno. Friend is moving, bought a new shop. It's getting installed in the new bay this week. Gonna stop by maybe Friday to have a look.
