Thought those machine marks may have been from a previous repair/weld prep.

Hi Cliff,
Looking at this shaft and flange; where the weld has separated and the age of the grader, I'm thinking that this may be a casting! Damn hard to tell from a picture, but if it is then the...

If you wear reading glasses to read then you need to wear them to weld. If they are bifocal or multifocal they will be no good to weld with, you need the single focal length like the cheap readers...

Please explain what the copper plate is for, heat sink, cleaning tungsten or balling tungsten. Yep this is a loaded question.

If they did try, they won't be about to answer your question!

A acetylene cylinder is not just a hollow container filled with gas, it is filled with a fiber mass and acetone, when the bottle is...

Just came across this thread and have to add some comments regarding old hull designs.
I own and use a late 50's built bondwood ski boat (late 40's/early 50's design) as a family ski boat which we...

Sorry for the tardy reply. I am not really a local, grew up on a property about 70k from Mussy, but have had a fair bit of contact with RSL over the last few years due to my wife's Dad. cheers james

Peter, you just reminded me of a thread on here several years ago https://www.woodworkforums.com/f32/want-build-seacraft-rivercraft-ski-boat-59895/ I see that this bloke never posted again:~!!!!...

Have been watching your build over at cawpba, nice to see some pictures of the progress. Keep up the great work:2tsup:! "Cold" we went skiing yesterday, Glenbawn dam water temp is 20deg with 26deg...

Damn springy stuff hey!!!!!!!!! Hang onto the free end when installing and do not let it go until it is fed into the guides/drive rolls and secured!

Hope you don't intend to wind it back onto the...

Welcome Rabbito,

Machine; do you seem to have full amps at the weld zone-if not then there is either a bad connection or if it is only sparking then a rectifier diode has died, there is not much...

Peter, we need pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to to hear that it didn't get destroyed and the running gear sold off!

I have a makita 3hp, 1/2" variable speed router which did some time in a table and 5hp spindle moulder.

The router is noisy, dirty and only used when the spindle moulder can't. Hand held!

Petrol works well for removing silicone, but the chair may smell a bit dodgy for many years, acetone should do the same without the lingering smell and flamability:D!

Used aquacote on the underside and interior in late 2008, underside was undercoated then aquacote, inside was aquacote on freshly sanded timber with no undercoat, underside is perfect, inside is no...

I'm sure a shearing cutter and comb grinder takes about 24" sanding discs,used to use "bear" brand ones, they glue on though, so may not be suitable. Search for local rural/shearing gear supliers.

I have 1 LN blade and 2 cryo (academy) blades in planes that I sharpen regularly on king water stones. No one told me that they wouldn't sharpen them, so if I keep this quiet they may not know...

Yes. You need to change the +ve lead that connects to the handpiece conduit mounting block over to the work lead and vice versa.

wonder if a run on tab (old piece of scrap metal) would help and give your eyes time to adjust before runing onto the job. This is tacked to the job!

You are on the right track with building a template but, do not use paper! Manilla folder or cereal packet cardboard is the go and if you hold it in place and give it a rub with the pein end of a...

Always thaught "V" was for voltage capacity (wrong!) and that the handpieces were rated in voltage steps,9,17,26 don't know why they are rated in volts when everything else is rated in amps!!!!!!!!!

That 26v torch is a fair lump, could you go for the smaller basic 17v without the trigger and a gas tap. I hold the torch by the head as well with either foot control or scratch start to bypass...

Thanks for that link.

The family that these came from emigrated from Scotland:rolleyes:, next time I see them will have to have a look for any markings.

Any ideas of what these 2 plane bodies used to be?

"Wow", chromed handles, for under 10k:rolleyes:!!!!!!!

If damp it will clump and not flow down into the pipe, also creates gaps between the clumps of sand. If heating, the moisture will boil into steam/expand and cause problems.

Cat s**t in the sand...

Looking good! Geez you didn't have much to start with!!!

Welcome Chris.

I like your project, and likewise a member of ozrodders.

Cold saw blade spins/designed for slow rpm, timber mitre saw high rpm.

This blade is NOT designed for high rpm:no:!!!!!!

Have you give the heat gun and scraper a go, it works brilliantly on some jobs then not at all on others:rolleyes:! Definately worth trying though.

Very very nice:2tsup:!

Do you have a use for it?

Is the top roll half way between the 2 bottom rolls (pyramid) or more toward one of the front or rear bottom rolls (pinch)?

Don't think this is a reflection on the charity organizations at all, but a reflection on welfare recipients and their expectations that they don't want stuff that is not top of the line!!!!!!

If in doubt of what filler to use, then 316l Stainless Steel filler wire is always a good choice. Have welded numerous tools and springs with this.

Arc force is a voltage adjustment. It adds some heat but mainly helps in situations where fusion is an issue. For GTAW it helps push the weld bead through the root and leave a nice convex...

Tray is looking good:2tsup:.

I use Stainless filler on jobs that are non structural and porosity is an issue due to contamination in the parent metal-usually traces of cadmium or zinc plating!

Looking good,

Have you used stainless filler and if so, for what reason?

Has that transtig been reliable? Had a few issues with them myself - 3 died within warranty :(!

5356 is generally the filler I use for the cast motorcycle cases and car parts (commodore sumps) I weld up. Never had the cracking issues you are experiencing though only issues with impurities...

Second the soldering iron method or heat gun with the plastic welding attachment.

The good ply has lots of thin layers that is quite stable, so using even 1 layer would be fine, your joints would have to be scarphed though! The cheap stuff is made from less thick layers and tends...

If it is a different rolling diameter it will fault out your ABS and cruise control, then if one of these has active stability control it will probably fault this out as well. Not a good idea.
