Title: cummins discussion thread.
Post by: jay on March 03, 2010, 12:35:17 PM
lol im pretty sure the welder is broken (most likely im just retarded :-*)

the hand control does not work.. (its more like an on off switch :()
no matter how high or low i set the hand control the bitch is psycho..

also i dont think i even noticed a difference between dc + and dc -

what the fuck am i supposed to look for..

i was under the impression that im supposed to weld ss with dc-

im pretty sure the vice has contaminated the ss :p whatever metal the vice is made out of when i brushed the welds it also brushed the vice and got the vice metal into the ss :p

ok im done for now i have to go somewhere i will most likely try again tomorrow after getting alot more input doing ALOT more reading.. and i also need to get me a higher work place and a chair to sit on to get more accurate control..

the gas may or may not be flowing through the machine.. or if it is its not at a high enough rate.. im removing the gas line tomorrow (or tonight) to have a look at it.. lol


cant get an arc started without touching the tungsten to the metal no matter how close i come to the metal...

first attempt :D scared the fuck out of me (im in an uncomfortable welding position crouching on the floor..)

Dude put a damn point on that tungstun. WTF man.

post a picture of your set up. including your ground clamp and you torch. also post picture of your regulator. You should hear the gas hissing as it comes out of the torch while welding. start at 15 CFH.

damn dude thats worse then when i started. READ THE BOOK ON HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE

Post by: t_cel_t on March 03, 2010, 01:35:02 PM
i dont think you have4 any gas coverage, take the torch and dip it in a glass of water and see if the gas is flowing
Title: Re: buks welding thread
Post by: turbob16hatch on March 03, 2010, 01:36:09 PM
You have zero gas coming out that regulator to produce those garbage burned holes. YOu need to see 15cfh while your welding.

What cfh is it at?

What amps are you at?

How fast are you moving?

Are you trying to tack it?
Title: Re: buks welding thread
Post by: malichite on March 03, 2010, 01:54:06 PM
First, Get rid of that regulator.  You need one that does flow.

One like this
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theforgottenserver.com%2Fgallery2%2Fd%2F3312-1%2FIMG_7429.JPG&hash=5f4fd031f55a34eda6a5a864b39e54995a08fe92)

Or this
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theforgottenserver.com%2Fgallery2%2Fd%2F3315-1%2FIMG_7431.JPG&hash=029f5c0834141d76b04837a4ff7b1724f5ef589d)

Yours does PSI and wont not work, but not what you want.  Kind of like this one.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theforgottenserver.com%2Fgallery2%2Fd%2F3318-1%2FIMG_7432.JPG&hash=5b488b7ef8a099c50f2c3386b0d6dc22788b1d73)

Next, you need to sharpen your tungsten.  Your arc will wonder all over the fucking place if you dont.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theforgottenserver.com%2Fgallery2%2Fd%2F3321-1%2FIMG_7433.JPG&hash=62161097aca163c53ef9b276e4be965ef9ec6bd8)

For Sch10 SS, I run about 70 amps

Last, for welding stainless, stay on DC-
Title: Re: buks welding thread
Post by: malichite on March 03, 2010, 01:56:31 PM
Also, is your torch broken?  Make sure there are no leaks anywhere along the line and especially at the torch itself.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg24.imageshack.us%2Fimg24%2F8536%2F20100303110216.jpg&hash=b6105588d5621373cc6fb552690cdac54c8b951b)

Title: Re: buks welding thread
Post by: bigwig on March 03, 2010, 02:29:45 PM
Buk,

WTF are you doing?  Why do you do this to yourself?  Go on Craigslist and make an Ad for a "welder needed" and then in the body say you need a private welding instructor and you'll pay $15/hr.  I'd imagine there are a few in the Detroit area that are out of work and could use the money.  6-8 hours with a real pro will put you so far ahead of the game.  $90-120 is nothing if it turns you into a decent welder.

If you don't get legit help or actually read a book on welding, this will be one of your biggest failures.  Time to nut up you silly Arab.

The torch seal thingy is broken but it doesn't leak..

Had no idea that the tungsten had to be that sharp

I know the greenn onnesss are for aluminum

Yuriy can suck a fat cock

N/a michael can go fuck himself

this welder scared me.. this isn't no pussy flux core welder.. and again I was crouching.. I'm gonna get a desk for me to work on and try again tomorrow. Right now I'm making some moniez picking up a car with my cousin from ohio

Leave the filler rod on the table until you make the first root pass. Start at 60 and adjust from there. If the pipe has a quarter size red glowing spot when you lift, you're too hot, or going to slow. At the right amperage you have lots of time to get a good puddle and then walk it around. Try to drag the puddle back and forth in the weld. It will follow the heat if you do it right. SHARPEN YOUR TUNGSTEN PROPERLY. It's 1000x easier to control. The slighted little blob on the tip makes the arc blow around.

Start your gas a second before you strike. Post flow your welds. Read the manual for your welder. If it sputters and sparks you're not getting gas.

went to the local metal mart and he wanted 30 bucks for some scrap pieces of fucking metal plate and sheet

Did all my learning on a HF scratch start tig.  Most of these people have delt with similar equipment.  Check your gas, make sure it is flowing.  Crank it up and see if you hear something.  If you dont, no sense continuing trying to weld.

That is to control the gas coming out of the tank.  Set it to 15-20 cfh.

Seriously, take some good pictures of your setup.  Muster up any common sense you have and show us what you are working with.  You should also take my advice and get some out of work welder to show you just the basics.  Right now you don't have a reasonable clue what you are doing.

That is to control the gas coming out of the tank.  Set it to 15-20 cfh.

Seriously, take some good pictures of your setup.  Muster up any common sense you have and show us what you are working with.  You should also take my advice and get some out of work welder to show you just the basics.  Right now you don't have a reasonable clue what you are doing.

already posted a cl ad. going to see if a local kid off a forum can show me.. he does good work..

ill go see if i can get good pics of the welder now

The reason people tell you to start on flat plate, is because you have no idea what your doing. And this is compounded by the fact you need to change your torch angle progressively as you move around the pipe. This is not good for beginners.

Get the old welder guy over there, and do not touch the welder till then.

Oh and get a real regulator, one that shows flow not just psi.

A full tank around here is 2400 psi and i stop at 500ish due to contamination.

i don't know anything about welding with gas, but that psi gauge is on 0

i just had the tank filled.. 100% argon... the valve is closed so it reads 0 psi

Buk,

First, you clearly have it set on Stick welding.  The rocker switch should be on the TIG function.

Second, you can't tig weld without gas coverage.  PERIOD.  Stop trying.  It won't work.  You need a gas regulator.  It will cost you $50 and you may need some special fittings.

Third, hook up the damn foot pedal.

Forth, Econotig>>>>>>>>>>>Maxstar.  Econotig has AC.  The Maxstar does not.  AC is worth the extra $200.

Fifth, read this from page 1 to 32.  http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o303v_mil.pdf (http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o303v_mil.pdf) then read each one of these http://www.millerwelds.com/resources/TIGhandbook/ (http://www.millerwelds.com/resources/TIGhandbook/)

Sixth, find someone to mentor you in welding or at least teach you the basics.

Seventh, attempt to weld some stuff together.

i had it set to gtaw before and the arc still didnt start.. idk about the gas thos..

im going to play with it alot more tomorrow


thanks for your input bigwig.. i read over the manual before.. ill go over it again

Agreed.

Buk, if your tungsten is fucked to hell, you won't get an arc.  Same goes for when you don't have gas on or if your material is not properly ground.

Everything needs to be setup correctly in order to get good quality tig welds.  Your torch needs to be properly assembled and working.  You need to have the gas flow set correctly(18cfh).  You need to have the tungsten CLEAN and sharpened to a point.  Grind it with a wheel that you only grind tungsten with.  Your material needs to be clean and prepped properly.  You need to make sure your material is ground properly.  You need to make sure your fitment on your materials is very good.  Plus probably another 10 steps.  That's not including proper welding procedure.

Read all of those packets that Miller provides.  Go step by step making sure you follow every step properly before you try welding again because if you continue this way, people are going to stop taking you seriously, stop offering advice, and just laugh.  You won't get anywhere and you'll end up selling all your shit.  Take your time, do it right, and try your best to get someone to come over and help you out for a few hours.  Don't creep them out either.

Just an fyi on the importance to proper teaching and how going to a class will do wonders.

I never welded anything in my life. So i went to a local welding school/fab shop and took a $300 8hr class on tig welding. They told me how to do everything for a first timer from how the machine works  to spoting what a good weld looks liek, etc, etc...

Now in this 8hrs i went from knowing jack shit to being able to run t-joints and weld pipe. Albeit not well or pretty looking but i could lay a bead down, and not fuck shit up like you. BTW, i almost went through a full 300+ cu. ft. tank welding that day. So i got a ton of actual weld time.

So whats the point, get someone that knows a thing or two and have them sit you down and teach you things.
Title: Re: buks welding thread
Post by: jay on March 04, 2010, 09:27:01 AM
sharpend the tungsten and tried to weld arc still wouldnt start.. (i can now hear gas flow though)

so i set the ground clamp onto the vice itself and tried to weld didnt get an arc..

after laying down a bead and going back for a second.. it started arcing without scratch start

and i just fucked around for a minute.

got to go downtown

atleast now i know that the machine works and its just my fail

still need to get a flow regulator though..

so 200cu ft tank @ 15cfm will go empty in 13 minutes?

i welded.. its ugly.. but its a weld :evil:

im even more hyped up too

put together the band saw today that should help out alot tomorrow with cleaner cuts and shit...

It's simple, tell them your having problems with your welder and you need someone to come look at it. they send some guy to come look at it and test it. You ask him to set it up properly if it's not. You pay him money because your a fucking idiot that has no ability to set up a welder, or take anyones advice.

How about we isolate if it is the machine, or the hand control first.

Buk, undo the hand amp control from the machine. Set it for like 10 amps, proceed to strike an arc. Then set it for 100amps and strike an arc, there should be an obvious difference. If there isn't then it is the machine. If it is, there maybe something wrong with the hand control.

apparently both the foot pedal and remote switch are not working as variable switches

they are just on off switches and the machine doesnt change weather i set it to 0 amps or 100 amps..

ok so the amp dial on the econotig isnt supposed to work.. that for stick welding mode..

tig welding mode you can only control the amperage through the foot pedal or hand control..

but neither of mine are working.. or atleast the foot pedal is permanetly set at a high amperage and when i connect the hand control it makes a tamer arc so im assuming lower amperage..

If you clean that gear up with anything but ultra care, you're retarded.

Why don't you just sell the welder on Craigslist for the same amount as you got it.  You're an Arab so you can just claim you got in an auction and you want to turn and sell it because your cousin who owns a gas station didn't want it because it's not a MIG welder.  Then hunt Craigslist for a Syncrowave 180 or a Lincoln 185 or a huge old Syncrowave 250.

IPA in a spray bottle at as high of a % as you can get. I clean everything electrical with it at work. I have to remove big clumps of hardened flour and powders from boards all the time. Just let it dry before you power it back up, and don't soak down any transformers or pots too much. A toothbrush works good too.

You bought it used and probably presumed "As-Is".  Fix it or sell it.  It's pretty easy to move a unit like that if you say you got it in an auction and was sold "in working condition but you can't confirm it".  You just have to live with the negative karma, if you believe in that.

yeah i def believe in it.. ive seen it first hand lol

i posted an ad on cl where i am honest..

how much would the 200cu ft cylinder and welding cart be worth?

if i deduct those from the price im sure i wont take as big of a hit..

I have yet to see a compitent welder try and use this. You could be the one fucking it all up.

Buk for whats its worth. If I were you I would suck it up and pay to have it fixed, cleaned and gone through. At least at that point you know its good to go and you can establish a relationship with the repair shop and they can give you some set up pointers and maybe some help. It would be worth your $300.

i agree as well but im an arab :p

no repair shop is gonna establish a relationship with me except some lady at a welding supply store who was VERY nice.. and cut me deals on almost everything.. she charged me 2bucks for tungsten! that the other shop charged me 3.50 a piece for..

she also tossed in a bottle cap for 5 bucks that the other shop wanted 25 for..

problem is she isnt very knowledgeable about tig welding.. it isnt her thing.. and shes 40 minutes away...

friend recommended a very friendly shop im going to check out.. they are alot closer.. and he drives 40 minutes to see them.. they fixed his welder for 200 bucks.. so well see..

monday im going to get the welder down to them and see what they say...

but ive also been eying hf welders..

Ay-rab isn't the issue.  You aren't a redneck is the issue.  Roll in with some grease stained jeans, mechanics jacket, and say:

"I felt it was time to learn welding but I bit off more than I can chew.  Can you make sure this thing works, and then give me some pointers?"   And don't waste their time with anything else until you learn to say anything in one sentence.

based on your pictures, grounding is an issue. Hook the ground on the wood, grab a spray bottle with water in it, or brake clean(works better), place metal close to ground clamp. Now wet down the wood, groundclamp, and metal. Try running a bead and let me know how it works.  You can a more true ground this way, rather then right on the materail. Something to do with the magnetic fields.

What are you going to do with that $800 paper weight?  You'd rather spend $2000+ on a new welder when your current one probably only needs $200-300 and it will work fine?  Then you can turn around and sell it in a year for the same $800 you bought it for while you show "Hey, only 12 months ago, I had it fully serviced so you are getting a machine in great condition"

Agreed.

I love my Econotig. I've been using it for about three years now, bought it used, and it's always worked great!

That sheet is really confusing me about the amperage control dial, because it absolutely changes all of my aperage settings when using the TIG function  ???

Anyway, hopefully you'll get the welder back with a minimum of cost involved.

I love my Econotig. I've been using it for about three years now, bought it used, and it's always worked great!

That sheet is really confusing me about the amperage control dial, because it absolutely changes all of my aperage settings when using the TIG function  ???

Anyway, hopefully you'll get the welder back with a minimum of cost involved.

apparently it didnt effect it on older econotigs only on the newer ones?

fuck it...

its now past 5... and i didnt get a call today so maybe tomorrow...

Buy a mig welder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's how I make my manifolds  :noel:

Although I'm sure nobody would PAY for one ;)



Mig welder is great can take anywhere and can do general repair exhaust work in no time. Buk doesnt get that the few people who make a living at performance stuff are fuckin on another level with ungodly amount of years behind them. Not to mention most were around old school motorheads who taught them the ropes.

I didn't feel like going through all 6 pages.  The first pictures on page 1 and then seeing it was a fucking tig?

HOW DO YOU SUCK THAT BAD?    It looks like you're trying to weld with a plasma cutter using dogshit as filler.  Fuck.


I read page six.  Your welder is FUUUUUUUCKED.   Really.  The first time i jumped on a tig machine i could run a bead.  It looked like flux core because i didn't use enough heat but yeah....it wasn't burning through with a crazy ass ark

I alwasy use NEEDLE SHARP tungsten when i weld steel and i ball it up when i use aluminum.

I also used red for steel and green for aluminum.   


I'm so ready for my tig welder......   Already have my 220v cords, breakers and concrete ready for the shop to get dropped off.....  Just gotta get on my down payment and i'll be pumping out exhausts, manifolds and stuff like that for friends.

friend recommended them


i guess i now need to choose a welder from red d arc.. he says the 100 i paid can be applied towards any red d arc rent to own... they have miller dynasty 200's for about 1700... 12 payments = 150 a month.. not bad.. i can swallow that..

Why replace a board than can be fixed with a few hours, a multi meter, and some sense?  Welder boards are not that complex and at the very least dc amprage And gas control should be able to be salvaged with a hasty runthrough of the welder and possibly bypassing some digital controls. It's a fucking power supply, for christ sakes. 

I'll give you -25$ picked up.

im selling my sc61 turbo kit (for a sad 1200 bucks)

then i figure i can sell the busted welder for 400..

civic i got in the backyard for 1500.. not to mention i got a buyer for my crx for 2700.. i might be able to buy the welder flat out..

if i can atleast manage a nice chunk of change as a downpayment i can put down a decent downpayment... and make my monthly payments less

nothing tops my monte carlo tho... 99 monte carlo bought it with 67k miles sold it with almost 167k miles.. only changed the water pump some faggot skid into it and smashed the rear end :(

Look it up.  Miller's website is very good for finding PDFs of their machine's user manuals.

I assume you are looking at used/older Syncrowaves.  I'd compare the features on a 250 to the new 200's.  I believe the 200's have some nice built in features that are helpful.

I smoked entirely too much weed when i first started working on cars......  Found stuff i never even knew i had ownership of trying to find my bodywork tools...

I'm getting off topic.

Bought nice $800 welder> doesn't work> too cheap to pay to have it fixed, not willing to do it yourself> buy a different expensive welder??> nah, HF tig cuz I'm lazy  and cheap>  ???WHAT'S NEXT???

Well no one will buy anything from you if it looks like shit. Theres a reason it took me sense 06' to get to where i'm at, and i'm not even considered to be a good welder. Able to weld yes, but i can't charge a premium like the good guys.

Jay, a MIG may not be a bad idea. You can still make money with it. Just switch up what you want to sell. I built a bumper for my jeep for about $80. I beat the shit out of it for a year and sold it used and hammered for $350. I could have sold it 15 times. I had it sold in less than 5 minutes on the jeep forums.

There is an ass for every seat. Make the seat, find the asses.

Well my inconsistency in flange welding is my big killer. That and my lack of experience in welding Aluminum. I can lay a pretty nice bead in the open but get me boxed in a tight area and i seem to freeze up still. But i still learn everyday. It doesn't help i use a #17 torch, haha

A buddy of mine sells mig welded headers still to this day. Simple is your lack of knowledge is why your stuck thinking the way you do.


Again where do you think you can become an internet success? The market is over saturated and the cast manifold business cdm has taken away the majority of people wanting log manifolds.



Learn how to do general repairs aka mig welder like exhaust repair. You will not make a living making manifolds nor even pull a profit


Look at weir. Good guy. Skilled and he cant make a profit. So he has 15+ years on you, he is white and has been an internet sales dude with a good rep for 5+ years and cant make a profit. You think your better than him or other people of his background.


My point. If you want to learn to weld great. No one is going to pay someone who has no experince in business nor skill level. You do know the average welding program is years right.

This^^^  I know i rag on you for being dumb as shit, but you have to understand that most of us started out making our own stuff then months/years later started selling these things.

Now is it easy for me to whip up a log manifold? yes.

Could i do it as fast/accurate when i was into it a dat/month/year? NO!!!

Thats what were saying, it takes a LONG time before you can get fast enough that making a honda manifold is even remotely profitable.

Pretty much anyone OTHER than the Honda crowd will spend money on quality parts. It's mainly the Honda guys that want everything for nothing.

I do a lot of classic car exhaust. I hate doing exhaust but the shop gets between $2000-$2500 from those guys so how can I bitch. Every time I tell them its more money they always pay so what am I to do.

Can you imagine a Honda guy paying $2k for exhaust? LOL right.

The honda crowd does buy mugen parts :yes:



In general though the majority of the people who are in the Honda crowd who actually track their car are older and have a little bit of cash. They will spend money.


Now when you can buy a car for under 2k it does bring in some wannabe's but they dont buy anything anyway so you just ignore them. They might buy a couple cheapo things off ebay but ask any of them if they have actually raced their cars even if they are slow and 99 percent have never seen a 1/4 mile track in a car and never will.


People doing swaps/track days etc in the Honda world are usually older.

fuck paying 875 to have the welder fixed.. im gonna make my own tig welder now

http://myweb.cableone.net/rschell/TIG.htm (http://myweb.cableone.net/rschell/TIG.htm)

i stopped by the jy and picked up a 200 amp alternator off of a 05 dodge ram pick up

stopped by radio shack to price out some shit...

havent decided on gas or electric engine yet

im gonna hack up my welder though and use parts from it

ill have a write up posted soon


if this happens, and u use news paper as your welding mask, you will never be forgotten here.


you will have achieved autonomy.

A welder isn't a magical fucking black box.  There's no such thing as "not fixable".  Find the schematics buy yourself a multimeter and spend some time isolating the problem.  How do you feel you're competent to build a welder when you can't even troubleshoot one that's already together?

It's not like electronic components have a little flag that pops up to show when they're not working properly.  Sometimes you let the smoke out and it's obvious but others you need to be a detective.

At this point I'd suggest you spend your money and go buy a bunch of deep-cycle marine batteries.  Hook them up whatever parallel-series orientation you need for the voltage you want.  It'll be DC only and pretty sketchy but I'm confident you'd have a good chance at troubleshooting any issues.  Try coat hangers for filler.  I'm joking.

What everyone is trying to tell you is that you're in a bit over your head.  Step back for a day and really think about it.  You're just way too jumpy.  Welder doesn't work....ok i'll buy a new one....no i'll build one....buy some junkyard parts....how should i drive it? gas or electric.....i'll do both....

Sit back and take a deep breath.  Decide what your ultimate goal is.  Start small and grow both in your skill and what you plan to build as a business.  It's much easier and you're more likely to have more success taking small bites instead of jumping in deeper than you can handle.  Find a local welder or welding class or something.  These people can teach you more in a day or week than you would learn in 10 times that long reading online or through trial-and-error.  You'll learn things you'd never think of too.  Just tips and tricks learned through years of practice.

I'd like to build a rocket glider some day.  Right now I'm researching and talking to people with experience.  If i just jumped in the first day and ordered a bunch of fiberglass and hypergolic propellant components I'd be in over my head and end up with things that aren't what i need or components that end up being inferior as my knowledge base increases.

i picked up 5 different alternators with different amp ratings all for an awesome deal of 150 bucks

cashier closed and security guard was last one there

told the dumb ass 150 is all i had and he gave me all 5 alternators for 150 bucks :D

had to pay him 750 bucks parts and labor to have him install the box and redo the shorted out wiring... he also went through and fixed some things in the downstairs breaker box..

this is so fucked up :(

welder is fried also part of the board was oozing shit out the bottom corner :(

welder worked fine for like not even a minute then i saw smoke and sparks from the breaker box :-(
 
when i doused it with a bucket of water that i originally had incase the wood table im welding on caught fire it made it worse.. then i saw smoke coming out the welder..

its not like i wanted to dump the water but it was my only choice.. already had one house fire in our old house (i wasnt home) so it was a split second decision and i saw a flame.. and my class c fire extinguisher was chilling in the trunk of my car.. im confident that by the time i ran out to the car to grab it the fire would have been beyond the point of control.. so i overreacted and jumped on a roll of carpet and with a quick whip i splashed the entire breaker box top to bottom..

fire was out instantly.. but welder didnt stop smoking for a while :(

In all fairness, Buk never got a chance to actually make a manifold.  He got fucked with a broken welder and then instead of thinking like a white man, he thought brown, and it turned to shit.

You should have just sold the Econotig for cheap and then bought a used MillerMatic.  You'd be happy as can be right now welding whatever you want together.

In all fairness, Buk never got a chance to actually make a manifold.  He got alot of good advice from here and ignored all of it jumping in with both feet and every dime he had with no research or idea of what he was doing.  Then when he got scammed cause he had 'schmuck' written on his forehead buying a junk welder he did the same and hacked it all up and almost burned his house down.  Then he still claimed he got shit on when he admitted to others once again it was his own incompetance that caused it.  Now he is planning on not only welding without knowledge, he is going to build his own welder that he also knows nothing about.  Like everyone warned every step of the way, he inevitably fails.

BTW Jay, I'm not making of you.  I was reminded of the above quote I saw.

Dude you need to step back and reflect before jumping back in to this welding idea.

Hopefully you learned a lot from this experience.

I learned a little from this thread and luckily I have two decent welders that would weld me almost anything. ;D

FOUND ANOTHER TIG WELDER THAT IM GOING TO GET!!!

its an older miller bp tig welder.. he says its heavy but not that heavy and that he can deliver it for free

so i think i might take him up on his offer.. he wants my civic and my rsx seats.. civic i had listed for 1k and rsx seats at 300..

he offered the tig welder and 300 bucks so that will cover most of what i owe my mom...

meaning that im getting the welder for 1k but he says it comes with a water cooler/foot control/hand control/2 empty shielding gas tanks (a 200cu ft and a 300 cu ft) and a bunch of tungsten/filler rods/collets/gas cups :D

he says its the same model as this

http://cgi.ebay.com/MILLER-330A-BP-WELDER-0_W0QQitemZ370341656829QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item563a1538fd (http://cgi.ebay.com/MILLER-330A-BP-WELDER-0_W0QQitemZ370341656829QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item563a1538fd)

that ebay ad lists it for 899 without any of the extras im getting rofl so im getting a good deal he says the welder comes with 250 ft leads and it comes with a tig attachment supposedly he can run the welder as a tig too (which is why he has 2 different shielding gas tanks one for straight argon and the other is an argon mix with another gas for mig welding)

i just gotta figure out how to get it to the basement

i have to drive my civic out to him then he will deliver the welder to my backyard only (he has back problems) its ok im sure i can get it into my basement somehow if not ill build a garage in the backyard im sure building a garage wouldnt be that hard.. i took some pics of a garage i saw before whose material shouldnt cost more than 400 and we have alot of 2x4's so ittl cost me less..

gonna try to get em to toss in a little more cash but i dont wanna fuck this up cause its such a good deal

You taped your fucking circuit breaker to keep it from tripping, set your mom's house on fire, through a bucket of water on it (should have been gas) and you think you have the mental capacity to build a fucking garage!  Are you really this retarded?  Why can't you slow the fuck down and take at least one of the million little pieces of good advice everyone has given you.  Better yet dont.  Continue on this track.  This is far to entertaining.  I stand corrected,  Nothing can go wrong.  You can build a garage.  DO IT :evil:

Buy mig welder. Plug in. Start welding. SEll manifolds on the cheap since you live in the shit hole of america. Charge like 12-14 bucks an hour to mig weld. You now have money to buy picolo pete's to blow up a new york deli full of eastern European jews.

kicked out the plexi glass windows with my foot... took like 3-5 hard kicks.. 3 of the 6 windows cracked.... so i had to go buy some plexiglass...

1 of the windows was glass and i have a nice cut on my foot :(

idk why i even kicked out all the windows

just 1 or 2 would have been fine but then again i didnt want the smoke going up into the house at all :(

btw he says he will sell me the trailer for 500 bucks
its a 4x6 trailer made out of wood looks solidly built in the pics but doesn't have a trailer license plate on it

it looks like it will pass inspection just fine though so fuck it he wants my sc61 turbo so maybe i can work out a deal with him

i dont have any cars with a trailer hitch but i got someone locally who wants me to build him a mani/down pipe/charge piping in return for a beater truck he has its an older isuzu truck rust bucket with rusted out shock towers but im sure i can fix that with my welder

speaking of which there are alot of dsms for sale locally for mad cheap cause they have rusted out shock towers i can easilly buy em up and fix the shock towers then resell for crazy profit

this is gonna be awesome

the guy just dropped off the welder and hauled away the civic..

tried to wire up the 220v and when we finished everything and hooked up the plug it was fine but when he plugged in the 1 to 3 phase converter to run the wire this happend XD
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg413.imageshack.us%2Fimg413%2F9640%2F20100327193421.jpg&hash=2ae5d6bba66c42bf48f88d5c3cddd5fede27d7b7)

guy says its because im using aluminum wire and that i should be using copper XD how the fuck was i supposed to know you cant run high voltage on aluminum wire?

i still think the fucking electrician might have fucking nicked the wire and caused the short :(

either way im gonna be out all night with no fucking sleep to make sure no one steals the welder :(

i ended up trading him my keltec p11 for his trailer so i got the trailer for 300 bucks... dude has a cpl so i know hes legit..

fuck my life..

imma try running 10 gauge wire i have just a small 4' piece the dude gave me from breaker box to a plug and the 1 to 3 phase converter has a long enough wire to reach the plug in the basement

i could care less if i cant get it to the basement or i cant build a garage ill fucking weld outside and just cover the welder with a fucking tarp if its raining

No shit.  It doesn't work.  You got fucked.  He got rid of a 300lbs paper weight and got a Civic and a bunch of other shit.  I bet the trailer is stolen and the cops will be at your house in a few days busting your balls.

Caleb is an asshole.  Don't trade a Miller welder for a Chinese welder.  That's plain retarded.

I don't understand why you keep making these decisions despite everyone telling you they are bad ideas.  Do you think we are tying to fuck with you?

Once again, I'm going back to page 3 and going to tell you to FIND SOMEONE ON CRAIGSLIST TO HELP YOU.  YOU LIVE IN DETROIT WHERE NO ONE HAS A JOB AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WELDING FOR 30+ YEARS.  SOMEONE HAS TO WANT TO MAKE $$$$ TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT.  PEOPLE HAVE TO EAT.

My dad's cousin (50+ year old man) bought a UPS store in the sticks of NJ.  It's failing miserable.  His wife, a CPA who works out of home, is now a Walmart greeter so their family can get health insurance.  You'd think she could just get a fucking job as a CPA making $60-70k a year for a legit company, but the economy sucks.  People need money.  $50 could buy you more than you think.

Quit being fucking retarded.  If you don't know what to do, LISTEN TO THE ADVICE IN THIS THREAD.

Don't worry. He'd plug it into the wrong outlet, short out early, and that would be that. It would still cost him $300 with no forward progress, same old. :noel:


I'm still curious why you let the dude haul the civic away with the welder untested... If they guy had welded with it before, that means he probably had the proper power outlets at his place. Connect the dots for future reference.

says im better off scrapping the welder and selling the trailer.. he offered to fix the trailer for free.. he looked at my wiring and said it was fine.. the phase converter is fucked though..

he says he would buy my econotig for ~200

and that i could scrap the welder for ~500

sell the leads and what not for another ~200

sell the shielding gas tanks for 200

trailer should be able to go for 400

and ill have more than enough to buy a tig that he has but first he will show me how to run it and that it works

Bout time now just take it slow and don't give your shit away for another 'instant gratification' trade for more worthless junk. Make sure you see his machine welding and good before disposing of your current stuff.

As far as the other shit, looking back you can always play the victim or learn something that you coulda done differently. I'm not sitting on my high horse I used to do the same shit and sometimes still do. But beating your head against the wall gets old.

I think thats pretty common with most of the homes in battered real estate areas Michigan,California,florida. I guess the major difference is the harsh weather Michigan gets beating up homes faster.



Unless its major damage Hood it up and fix/clean as you can go.



Also if Buk would of spent some money on tools he could of already started a little side business doing basic repair work brakes/suspension/fluid changes for like 10-15 bucks an hour.

fabbing something that looks like the contents of a colostomy bag isnt going to get you anywhere.

the fact that you didnt see an issue with not sharpening the tungsten is the first obvious sign youre not gonna make any money in it because your going to try to cut too many corners. if you want to fab stuff for personal use you should be looking at a mig welder. it doesnt take much skill to use.

when i said i knew about it and ignored it that was as in... uhh the welder doesnt even work properly why bother sharpening the tungsten?

i bought a bench grinder for sharpenning tungsten and nothing else...

You might want to try another profession if you're looking to "make money." At this point you have ZERO welding experience (it's more than just reading on the internet) let alone have you fabricated anything that is worth charging someone money for. You do understand that, without a structured program or apprenticeship, decided to "be a fabricator" isn't something that just happens. You need to have a different attitude and skill set than what you have. You are persistent, however you are going about this entirely wrong.

You're trying to sell a service, right? How much money is there to be made? Why should I buy your product over the other guy? If you're serious about this you would have already asked yourself these questions and have a damn good answer. If you were serious about this you would put more effort into not getting royally fucked on every transaction you make. If you were serious you would not let some guy on Craigslist fuck you over and you definitely wouldn't just take it up the ass. I mean honestly, the fact that you were welding on a wooden bench with a FUCKING BUCKET OF WATER just shows that you don't actually care about or think about what you are doing.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but I just don't see it happening. Reading through all 20 pages makes me laugh, but I honestly feel bad for you. If this is something you actually want I hope you shape up and get your ass into gear, but from what I've seen you just want to sell manifolds on the internet because you think it's the pinnacle of fabrication.

Good luck sir.

It won't be long.  He's about to buy his 3rd welder without testing it first.  No lesson learned from the first 2.  Some might say that the third time is a charm but with your luck i'm doubting it.

That's a huge reason to NOT buy it. anyone selling a working condition welder wouldn't have an issue with it being tested.

Wait to buy the nice welder and get the welding advice/help. as you NEED it.

I have a sync 200 also.  Very happy I bought that instead of the econotig or the other little box they have out now.  I do sorta wish I would have saved a little and just shelled out the cash for the dynasty. Best thing I've done so far is throw away the shitty torch it comes with and pick up the ck worldwide superflex, which is cheaper than the weldcraft junk.

Really?  Mind if I come over and check it out?  So far I have had no complaints with the weldcraft torch, although I did just move up from the HF tig:)
Title: Re: buks welding almost SUCCESS thread
Post by: narfdanarf on April 07, 2010, 07:43:38 PM
Sure when I originally got the weldcraft torch that came with the machine I loved it, but I have gone through 3 of them since I've had the welder.  Seems like they just don't hold up well to what I put them through.  The CK is built better and the cable/hose is even thinner, not to mention the torch has a flex head that is super helpful, as soon as I threaded the first gas lense into the torch head it felt a million times more sturdy. It's one of those things that you wouldn't notice unless you used them both a lot separately.  The reason I new about the torch differences is because we have dynasty's at work and work will only replace parts with CK parts because they are cheaper.

True, but I mean you can run a dynasty in dc without any additional arc shaping, it'll still weld smoother than most machines.

*start threadjack*
BTW I have been meaning to call you for a couple weeks, that 24v head you gave me, is the generation with shitty valve seats. They aren't an actual seat ring, but rather machined into the head, and they like to crack. We can work with this one, but for the amount of abuse you guys will put it through we'd have to come up with a new seat arrangement.

There aren't any old ones in there, the seat is a machined feature of the casting, not a separate ring like on aluminum heads. The cracks run pretty deep on this head, likely not worth salvaging. We could machine some counterbores to accept custom seats, but its a lot of time and money.

i want to know more about cummins heads

They are heavy, have lousy casting consistency, have an integrated intake manifold that is garbage, crack too easy, and are out flowed by even the worst vw head. If the cummins bottom end wasn't so redonkulus in stock form, and found in so many applications making parts cheap, there is no way I would touch it.

Supposedly someone is going to release an aftermarket head before to long, with some decent ports too it, but I am not holding my breath.

I can't tell you much about making the stock ones better, or the valve seats or shit like that, but Dave can, and that is why my heads go to him.

I won't pretend I know what I'm talking about, because I don't. I'm unfamiliar with the 24v cummins. However, my machinist friend was just over here a couple hours ago and he drives a 24v cummins. We got on the subject of the valve seats and he said that the seats are a nickel material that heats at a different rate than the surrounding casting, prolonged heat (as in towing heavy loads for a long period of time) causes the seats to crack or even drop. He said, he replaces seats almost daily. They cut the old ones out and replace it with a tungsten seat that handles the stress better.

i have used a few different dynasty's... and they are not really to my liking... a lil too complicated for everyday welding...

If you don't know how to weld I could see it being a problem, otherwise, what you are saying does not make any sense. The dynastys are the least complex welding machines I own.

LOL, Dave that isn't saying much... But I do agree, my Dynasty is super straight forward.

True, but I mean you can run a dynasty in dc without any additional arc shaping, it'll still weld smoother than most machines.

*start threadjack*
BTW I have been meaning to call you for a couple weeks, that 24v head you gave me, is the generation with shitty valve seats. They aren't an actual seat ring, but rather machined into the head, and they like to crack. We can work with this one, but for the amount of abuse you guys will put it through we'd have to come up with a new seat arrangement. I know I'm shitty for not having told you this sooner, I kinda forgot with the move going on.

Your friend is right, there are a lot of 24v heads that do that, but the earliest of the 24v heads didn't have separate valve seats, and they were just a machined feature of the casting, these ones crack in the seat area, and in fact Cummins actually has a spec as to how large the cracks can be before the head is junk. I don't think there were a lot of the early heads without seat rings, but I do come across them every now and then.

1991.5 - current for auto trans, 2003+ for manual trans. The 727 in the 1989-1991 were not great, but were not bad either.

NV4500's did have that problem, but the fix is like $30, and a few hrs to pull the tail shaft of the trans. The trans still works fine even when it does loose 5th, my buddy mat has been driving his 97 around for the last couple months as a 4 speed as he is too lazy to fix it. I would still rather have the NV4500 then the G56, as an NV4500 with the upgraded input shaft will hold over 1000rwhp. It is the best trans dodge ever offered bar none.

Order of Dodge transmissions found behind cummins transmissions as I see it:

NV4500>NV5600>G360>G56>727>All other autos. I haven't had any experience with the new 6 speed auto, but given the track record, I predict fail.

This is based on stock transmissions if we are talking built transmissions, then it is a whole other ball game.

The ultimate thread jack, i like it.

So my 48re is pretty much junk i take it.
And with the tach, its working great so far and has 115k on the body. But i will agree, the seats suck.
My truck is all manual electronics inside, i would love to do auto window and doorlock conversion that would be nice. I do like how even though some trucks didn't come with fog lights (mine) it is still prewired.

Another thing i found with the 06's is that the recirc. door like to break and drop into your blower motor, causing it to become un balanced and vibrate, i dropped mine two days ago and puilled out the door and the broken piece, can't switch between fresh or cabin, just sucks from both, but atleast there is airflow again.

My A/C doesn't work rite now, the compressor clutch won't engage, and it has refer. in it.
Also the #4 injector blue clip that holds it in place was loose, good thing i found it before it did damage. I read that they come loose and rub a pinhole in the injector line, so im happy i found it before it did any damage.

Also the coolant overflow tank didn't come with a hose clamp where the line plugs in under the radiator cap, causing it to leak a little coolant, then i read about it and looked and sure enough no clamp. Apparently a lot of 06's came from the factory with no clamp.

Just a few little tid bits ive learned about the 06.

Cliffs:
I don't know shit dont read my post.
Title: Re: cummins discussion thread.
Post by: dvst8r on April 12, 2010, 11:01:49 AM
48re is junk stock, once built will hold some serious power. Some 06 tach's are garbage, and some where okay. Sounds like you probably got a good one. Tmathis (06 on 22.5's pictured in another thread) has a garbage tach, and it just jumps around randomly all over.

I am sure I have read a fix for the recirc door, but for the life of me can't dig it up right now, when I do I will post it up.

AC might be the clutch, or might be the pressure switch. I would hot wire the clutch and see if it engages, then you will at least know if it is the clutch or the switch, or some other possible problem.

Didn't know about the clips, good info.

Didn't know about the clamp either.

apparently you can order just the door from dodge, they switched to a new plastic so it won't break on the door, so i just have to order one and drop the blower then put it back up in there again.

Heres the thing with mine. It is running great rite now, but i would like to put a smarty or something on it, i know that the TC would blow out with the quickness, so what should i do just to ensure it doesn't?

Aftermarket TC and valve body up grade as well as a shift kit would suffice?
Title: Re: cummins discussion thread.
Post by: dvst8r on April 12, 2010, 03:21:24 PM
Yup TC and VB, a good aftermarket VB like a goerend or a DTT, or a Suncoast, or an Ultimate, or ect... A VB is a shift kit, with other re works, so it is an either or not a both. That a long with making sure the bands are adjusted and everything is else is in good working condition should be good for the ~450-500hp range. Above that it is time for clutch's and billet pieces.
