Cast repair
While making a frame to add wheels to my belt sander I managed to tip the thing over. Happily I wasn't under it as it is damn heavy. I'm kicking myself because part of the design was to move the wheels out further than the feet as it wasn't very well balanced in the first place, so I should have seen this coming.
So far the damage appears limited to a cheap level, some nasty looks scrapes on one of my 4" angle grinders and the tracking wheel busted off the mounts.
The bottom left mount has been broken since I got the sander.
Its some sort of cast.
Only tried to weld cast once before and that was 30something years ago.
I could likely just drill some more holes be that seems a little rough.
I do have some silicon Bronze mig wire that I believe I could use with my TIG for a repair or is there a better way to go?
I haven't used a stick welder for the best past of 30 years either.
