Wedge parts are easy to slip while cutting. This setup produces clean cuts with little burr, less grinding needed for batch work.

Not welding, but sanding. Check out this horrendous sanding job I saw at the zoo a while back.

We took two new packs of welding wire, but after a few clean layers, we found rust inside. We struggled with the settings for a long time until we looked inside and realized what was causing the problem.

First time ever welding with no prior training/experience guided with 15 minutes of YouTube tutorial. Also for people telling me to grind the paint before hand, I already did. Just did a terrible job at the weld it self

Titanium welding, has anyone made a container to welding small titanium parts in to keep them in an envelope of argon?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Tig welding titanium and needing some ideas on keeping the metal in an all argon environment while welding. I have a back purge set up for tubing but nothing set up to do flat stock. I was thinking like a Tupaware container with steel or aluminum in the bottom and just feed argon in from the bottom to keep oxygen out
