usually a 16-18 gauge is how most downpipe material will come.

 

ok great cause I think I'm gonna need to do something a little wacky here in a little bit and I wasn't sure if you guys continued with sch 40 until the flex or just when with a somewhat thin gauge.,

that would be like a 100 pound downpipe.....

 

we need a fabrication forum, I want to post pics of my new lathe and milling machine

I 2nd that!!

 

go ahead and post them man. I would love to see some new equipment

 

arent those milling machines pretty big? i wonder if its worth it to have my homemade adapter plate that was blown out with a torch flattened..

 

you can get mini mill and mini lathes. im getting both soon too.

 

Finaly got some pics of my tig welds.........

 

thats not bad tiging.. did you do the work on unsung's kaa?

hybrid: who HATES arc welding..

you did these too ??



stainless mig ?


BTW that piece of the sched 40 is trippin me out. in a way it looks like you just welded on a straight piece of pipe, however both sides are bezeled,, and the dman thing is so flat, i got one of my manifolds like that, very flat weld, i didnt use any filler though it was one of my first manifolds. im curious if you used any filler in that piece?

 

Who crapped on the intercooler piping?

That was me, sorry... Taco Bell for lunch, can't really expect anything different... grilled stuffed burrito does it everytime.

 

i know hulk can put out better welds than that.... or atleast i hope..

 

Sup guys, I am planning to start tigging. I am dedecent with using a mig welder already. The question is that I only have a 115 volt output in my garage, is there a tig welder that would work good using only 115? I will be workin on making headers, intercooler piping, some alumnium, and roll cages when i get good. Thanks

 

theres the maxstar thats a 110v, but i dont think you can do AC with it.......check out Millers website.

 

The TIG machines that will run on 110v are inverter-based (Miller Maxstar, Lincoln Invertec, etc). You'll probably have to spend at least a grand to get one. That technology is relatively new, so it's not that common to find used inverter-based machines.

You can pick up and older transformer based machine (Lincoln Idealarc, Miller Dialarc, etc) for cheap, but they require 220v. My Dialarc HF required me to wire in a dedicated 220v 80amp line.

yeah but that machine is so sweet sonny that the power load is worth it.

Are those machines any good, like for a turbo manifold or like sch. 40 welded to 1/2 inch flanges ect. you think it will be enough or will i run into a lack of power

maxstar sth
70 A at 22.8 VDC(Stick), 115 VAC
100 A at 14.0 VDC(TIG), 115 VAC
sound ok??
