I love this thread

well I'm new ...and I've been practiceing on my migpak 10 with fluxcore...how am I doing (pics below)

Sometimes I feel like chocking on all the **** that flys up using the fluxcore...if I get the mig attachement will the gas welding be cleaner?

Also My eyes get tired with a #10 so I've been wearing sunglasses + the mask with a #10 which worked perfectly. will a 12 or higher be better?

Looks ok for fluxcore, theres no real good welding with that ****, looks like popcorn and is pretty weak. A gas attachment - making it a real mig welder would do wonders. looks like you have good control.
As far as your helmet, which one do you have ? your eye should'nt get tired/sore at all. raise the darkness setting up a few, and get that gas attcahment

 

the helmet is just a regular helmet not the auto ones so I have to manualy flip it down. With a 10 my eyes get real tired.

 

very nice for flux core

i used to get mad headaches with a 10 tig welding. i got a 12 and im doin good. try out a 12

 

i always use a gold lens, shade 12! and use an auto helmet when tacking

 

i can't afford gold.. lol to much bling bling for me. lol

 

ok... check this out.. now had this been a Welding and fab forum.. i would of created a new post.. however its not.. so here ya go..

one day in constand efforts to gain more room in my garage, i fabed a 18X18 inch plate that will hold tranny's on a engine stand.

even though its a cheasy 110 flux core weld, it got the job done...





painted..



and then finished...

I am doing the same thing when i get back from college, but mine will extend to the rear "T" part of the stand, and will have sides on it, for when oil drips, bolts drop, etc...

funny thing.. me and spork were talking about it.. he wants a pan style tray, with a drain pan bolt to drain fluids.. lol.. how funny.

 

that sounds like a good idea to add the bolt, thanks

 

you guys are gonna want to tilt the pan slightly so that all the oil goes towards the hole. Just a thought, so you won't have to tilt the stand.

 

yeah i was planning on 4 triangular pieces that all feed into one direction.

 

can someone give me a link to the t's and 90's on mcmaster that people are using to make log mani's with, my friend was going to try to make a mani off of his stock h22 header!!!! i just told him about this, so he wanted to find those parts. thanks

 

theyre under pipe and pipe fittings, then steel or stainless, then follow what you want, normally peope use 1.5" size

 

who sells header flanges?

 

http://www.jgstools.com sell flanges in mild and ss

 

we sell flanges in mild and stainless steal, check em out here http://www.homemadeturbo.com/f...16448 all of them are cnc machined.

 

Ok.... Heres one....

Where to get T25/T28 (Nissan SR20DET Style) turbine outlet flange? Preferably stainless steel of course... Ive looked everywhere!

American Welding Society show in Chicago this week at Mc Cormick Place! http://www.aws.org/ I went today. Pretty cool **** and it's free

 

I see those MIG welders that dont use gas, what kinds of materials can those weld? I heard that if you want to weld steel you need the type of MIG that uses gas. Is that true? I am a newb welder and I wanna know what I should buy to start with.

 

you can weld steel with non-gas, called fluxcore welding, if you are interested i have a bginners welder forsale, can use gas, or can use fluxcore. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=824797 thanks for looking
