it would seem so alright.
i tried the tig with just a brazing rod and as much as it laid it down, it did it with a right bit of protest so i wouldnt like to do too much of it.
i tried a fluxed rod with no gas but it liked that less.
one major drawback on my tig is its only dc, so no alu, which is a bit of a balls really.
i have a miller 350amp power source here, its a welder but it can also do mig, if ya had the miller suitcase.
i do have two (iirc) murex wire feeder units tho, i wonder would it be possible to wire them up together.
should be a decent kick out of 350amps on 3 phase.
but again, she is only dc and no tig function.
all she is used for at the mo is gouging if im at it.
i was watching one on e bay there and its getin dear now.@tinman you still looking for a suitcase? http://www.donedeal.ie/tools-for-sale/lincoln-ln25-wire-feeder-welder-mig/8713697?offset=7
ive had this wee lathe in a container for the last 4 or 5 years but its too small for the work id want to be doing.
so i stuck it up on DD.
ended up that i got paid and loaded it into a transit van today thats bound for latvia.
it was out of a college, never coolant in it, only thing i could see was mdf dust and a few alu shavings.Wow, that's one clean lathe

in fairness to it, that pic dosent even do it justice.
its sat oiled up in a container here for a long time, i pulled it out a few months ago and ran it for the first time.
its a mint lathe, just too small for me.
i bought it as a stepping stone to a good milling machine, so thats what im after now, hard to get the right one tho at the right money, and its going to be a uk job at the best of times, but the stg is horrid bad at the mo, so i may sit tight for a bit.
theres an or ring in there is there not?.tidying tonight, things have gotten out of control.
@tinman, any suggestions where I might get a hose or fittings for my portapower? it's pretty useless as is, I'd say it's not capable of a tonne pf pressure before it starts to piss itself. to be honest I hardly use it as it just makes a mess every time.
it's a genuine blackhawk, made in USA jobbie

This is our latest bit of fabrication and old lawn mower engine and 24 v alternator for some on site charging. Still need to wire it and guard the pulley & belt.

I assume the B&S has the power to run the alternator?. Some of them take a bit of driving when charging at full whack.
iirc it was 35mm or so.That's one tidy looking machine What size spindle bore is it?
best or at least cheapest thing to do there is get new 3/8 quick release fittings hi.tidying tonight, things have gotten out of control.
