RE: Welder - bigcheez2k3 - 11-06-2014 I don't understand why he is ever allowed back. RE: Welder - Piggy - 11-06-2014 He is waaaaay too upper class for us working class RE: Welder - 1616six - 11-06-2014 Thing is, every time he gets banned it adds fuel to the fire as he's getting a reaction. Funnier still is that he's always allowed back. Recently at least the guy has been honest & come out of his shell. RE: Welder - Piggy - 11-06-2014 I ma surprised, he seemed to be doing fine recently... plus people were actually helping him, which was odd! RE: Welder - Chris_90 - 11-06-2014 He seems to be Ok to me yer was a bit of a nob before, but seems to be a decent guy now he's stopped the trolling...... Even when he was trolling it was entertaining RE: Welder - WiNgNuTz - 11-06-2014 He'll always be a troll, and he's openly admitted that himself....all he needs to do is learn where to draw the line.

Funnier still is that he's always allowed back. Theres reasons he was never permanently banned. Its not just a random thing but certainly thought out. I must admit, he seemed to be very polite and taking banter recently. Probably because he wants something! RE: Welder - Fooby - 11-06-2014 I put him on a 24hour cooldown. I don't like the way he snapped at Tom for no reason. I wouldn't tolerate it from anyone else, why would I off him? Yes, he is doing better and I welcome his change in behaviour, but one good deed doesn't make up for consistent rudeness.

Once someone tells him which pencil to buy, and how to draw a line with it.

You where you said about the size and weight, and he said hes never seen one up close due to being working class or something along those lines lol RE: Welder - Tom - 12-06-2014 Oh i didnt even see it, too busy being working class doing 55 hours a week RE: Welder - Atterz - 14-06-2014 The guy is a proper pipe smoking arse bandit, he doesn't attend shows i assume and generally contributes nothing productive to any thread he posts in. Would be better off banned permanently. RE: Welder - Seb_Ryan - 14-06-2014 Funny enough I was on another forum (alfa one) and seen people on about flynn how annoying he us blah blah blah found it quite funny.. RE: Welder - Piggy - 14-06-2014 Is he just known on EVERY forum as an annoyance?? weird how the 24 hour cooldown has now lasted...erm...more than 24hours!!! lets hope it was a type and was 24years RE: Welder - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2014 Well I just bought the Sealey Mighty Mig 100 gasless to do the engine mount on the rallye and the bits for the big turbo on the 2.1TD Got it little cheaper than the link someone else posted. Mine is from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140890006260?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Hopefully be able to tell you how she does by next weekend.

RE: Welder - Piggy - 20-06-2014 You are not going to get a gass mig new for that money. And for a car enthusiast like most of us, a welder like that with flux cored wire will do most of what you need. People always ask who did my gearbox mount manifold pipes....I think they are crap...but all the same, I used a £80 cheap gassless mig with cored wire. RE: Welder - lolsteve - 20-06-2014 Reading this has got me wanting to learn to weld now, especially when I want to try and build my own strut brace Whats wrong with arc welding? like if it wasnt meant to be a good looking weld RE: Welder - Poodle - 20-06-2014 Absolutely nothing wrong with arc welding, hard to do thin metal like exhaust or bodywork though, which is probably most of what you'll be using it for. Feel free to come and have a practice with ours if you like. RE: Welder - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2014 (20-06-2014, 11:42 AM)silverzx Wrote:Maybe not as good as with gas but after speaking to a few people I think I'll be alright and as most of my welding will be outside I won't have quite so big problems on windy days with gas blowing away. Also smaller size, one less canister in the workshop, and one less thing to have to worry about replacing and flux cored wire isn't too much more expensive especially with the small amount of welding that I am likely to be doing.(20-06-2014, 10:42 AM)Dum-Dum Wrote: Well I just bought the Sealey Mighty Mig 100 gasless to do the engine mount on the rallye and the bits for the big turbo on the 2.1TD (20-06-2014, 04:27 PM)lolsteve Wrote: Reading this has got me wanting to learn to weld now, especially when I want to try and build my own strut braceWelding is one of these things that takes 10 mins to learn and a lifetime to master. ARC is very difficult to get the hang of, especially on thin (automotive) grades of steel, its o easy to blow holes in stuff with an arc and its a bit of a pain sometimes if your doing a big weld to co-ordinate your hand with not only moving along/around whatever your welding but also in towards it as the rod gets shorter. ARC is also very "agricultural" and makes alot of heat. Finally it makes slag that needs knocking off before you can see what your weld looks like and can sometimes contaminate a weld. With a MIG you can genuinely have a quick 5 min lesson off someone and maybe 15ms of practice/playing with it before you'll be able to do reasonable looking welds that are strong enough to hold your weight and take people smashing them with hammers. Gotta say part of the reason I bought myself a mig was wanting to make a strut brace to go round my 2.1 lump lol. RE: Welder - silverzx - 20-06-2014 So what sort of thickness steel will your one weld Chris? RE: Welder - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2014 IIRC 100amp is up to about 3mm RE: Welder - Niall - 20-06-2014 Sealey seem to well over egg their welders. Mine and Grants old mig90 gas in the book could do up to 5mm. Ha, yeah right! RE: Welder - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2014 LOL I didnt use the book figures, just memory from having looked before. There is a chart somewhere of what amps you need to weld what thickness of mild. RE: Welder - silverzx - 20-06-2014 The next one up of Chris' is 150 AMP for £179 and 190 AMP for £480. Big increases in price! RE: Welder - Dum-Dum - 20-06-2014 How about this for a table of what you might want/need and some buying tips. As it says, manufacturer quoted thicknesses are likely to be bollocks. http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/buying.htm |
