so you mentioned you work or worked for Rio Tinto , myself and my then supervisor visted the boron mine in California and did some custom work for them , so i found it cool you work for them we went there in 2015
@@cprobus9517 Yes sir, I work at Kennecott copper mine. It’s the largest open pit mine in the world. Pretty amazing. I am familiar with the boron mine as well. Small world. Thanks for watching!

I was 421, thanks for the video
Does it automatically set the k factor for bending?
@@truethinker68 Yes, it calculates the K-factor based on the information you put into the program. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reply.@@Freedomfabrication777
Nice addition and investment in the shop. Glad things are working out for you.
@@MyLilMule Thank you sir! Investments are scary, but so nice when you’re reaping the benefits of having them.
definitely a shop upgrade! very nice.
@@19672701 It has been awesome to have! Thanks for watching!
Awesome equipment. Glad you shared, can’t wait tot see it in action in the future.
@@danramos281 Thanks, it has been an awesome addition to the shop. Thanks for watching!
When using emery cloth in a lathe ALWAYS cover the ways. Don't and the lathe will be toast.
Thanks for sharing your experience! You’re definitely a top notch shop. Glad to see you share another video. Love the content. And “freedom fan campground”that’s great! Haha
@@garryfuller2079 Thanks, I appreciate that, and Thank you for watching!
Very nice tool. Good looking sign!
@@earlcavenaugh6459 Thank you, it had been amazing to have. Thank you for watching!
Gotta spend money to make money. Good for you sir.
@@hugolafhugolaf Thank you, it’s one of the scary parts about owning a business. It is also one of the necessary parts to making money and being successful. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 Same in the service business. Gotta hire pricier staff, buy better equipment, all in the name of providing a better service to the client. Paying through the nose for firewalls and IT safeties is insulting, but if our data gets hijacked, we're worth nothing... So at the end of the day, we do what we gotta do. Hopefully you recoup that investment fast! Best of luck (even though it's not luck, it's hard work, but you get my drift).
Fantastic addition to your arsenal! You don’t mention it and it’s none of our business but, I would like to applaud your wife’s apparent ability to trust your decisions to reinvest in your business. That brake, along with everything else in your shop is no small investment and a man and wife pulling together towards a common goal is a huge asset to success that needs to be acknowledged. As for not having time to video everything when you’re busy, I don’t know how you have time to video anything and I appreciate the content that you do take time to put out.
@@williamthomas9463 You couldn’t be more correct! Every once in a while someone asks me what advice I have for a young person starting out that wants to start their own business. One of the first things I tell them is be very careful and smart about who you Marry. It is absolutely necessary to have a spouse that supports your goals and ambitions, and believes in you. If you don’t have that, you won’t make it very far. Starting a business isn’t easy, especially with a family, but you have to be with someone who has a certain level of willingness to take some risk. As you can see, I married an amazing woman, who supports me in my wild business endeavors, and is a nurturer to me and my children. This is getting extremely rare to find in my opinion. You bring up a very good point, and I will be sure to mention this again in a future video. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 You’re welcome. I’m saying this as someone who didn’t have my wife’s support 23 years ago. I do, however, have it now but it was an uphill battle for many years as she didn’t come from a self employed background and had no tolerance for risk. Be blessed.
@@williamthomas9463 I can see how that would be hard having a background with no self employment exposure. Glad to hear you have it now. I have been married long enough to know that marriage is one of those things that also requires work and dedication to make it healthy and successful. Glad to hear you’ve pushed through. God bless you and your family.
Oh heck yeah man!! That’s going to be cool! Keep it up!!
@@SWALLDOG Thanks! It is already a game changer! Thanks for watching!
Awesome addition! That machine will open up a whole bunch of work for you. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming, look forward to watching your next project that involves the brake. Cheers from another fellow welder from B.C. Canada 🤘😎
@@RHarris42 Thank you, The more I learn about how to operate the machine, the more I am blown away with what it can do. Thank you for watching, and I feel lucky to have at least 2 Canadian friends watching the channel!
@@Freedomfabrication777 it's going to save you so much time for sure! About 10 years ago I worked for an outfit that bought a huge brake that had a similar program, I wish I could remember how many ton it was for it. Needless to say at that time we were braking full 5' x 10' x 1/4" with ease and able to do 4'x8'x 1/2" to at best 88° bends (which is close enough for maximum 2" flange! Lol) making cross members for what ever frame work we needed. Definitely impressive to say the least. Again thank you for sharing.
Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the video but I'm curious, where did you find rollers that large? McMaster maybe?
@@nonadjannomyous5733 The Customer supplied them, but I believe it was either McMaster-Carr or Kaman. Thanks for watching!

@@JohnWheels Thanks man, it’s been awesome! Having the right equipment is scary, but so nice at the same time.
That was really impressive! I've done a bit of cast iron to mild steel before and it was tough! I used nickel 55 rods- I'll have to give this kind a try! Keep up the great work!
@@JohnWheels Thanks brother, it was a tough one. Sometimes those ones are the funnest. Thanks for watching!
Sweet shop addition, bet that cost a pretty penny!

Glad it finally came! Been enjoying your videos. I’ve wanting to send you one of those Pneumatic Chamfer tools.Yeah they are Chineseium but I use them quite a bit especially the one mounted to a Swag Off-road Table. Anyway if you email me an address I’ll make it happen.
@@davidhoffman8072 Thanks brother, I’m pretty excited. Having professional equipment makes a huge difference. I would love to try one of those chamfer tools! I’ll have to do a SCT segment on it. Thank you! Can you get ahold of me on Instagram?
Sweet brake! I actually considered that exact setup. Little outta my price range at the moment. But if the works keeps coming in I’ll be ordering one. How many jobs/parts can you store in the controller?
@@thedude6650 You can save 50 bends on the unit, and as many as you want on a jump drive. I think you would love it if you decide to pull the trigger. It’s one of the very few on the market with the big bend capability and small foot print. Thanks for watching!
Love the new tool!

@@McNeillWelding Thank you very much, I appreciate that. And thank you for watching!
I worked in a fabrication shop for around 6 years , we ran push pull guns instead of spool guns and TIG wasnt an option we built ladders and custom pieces like what you just made i think if you have many aluminum jobs I suggest definately look into a push pull whip , but thats my opinion i just came across your channel tonight i subscribed i like it.
@@cprobus9517 A push pull set up is on my wanted equipment list for the shop. I have ran a lot of push pull aluminum, and I agree, if you’re doing a large production job, it’s the way to go. I will get one someday. Thanks for subscribing and Thanks for watching!
@Freedomfabrication777 absolutely I like the way you work and the way you do your videos
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing and providing your insight on the ArcCaptain.
@@danramos281 You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!
Brother have y'all never heard of 309l stainless rod? Much more available and works great for what you're doing. But, who am I? Been welding for over 30 years, and have welded a good bit of cast iron, grey iron, and ductile iron. White cast is simply not weldable. There's a book for about $15 by Lincoln called Metals and How to weld them. I learned alot from it. My welding instructor showed us that and wm graves blue book. Said every welder should have them both. They're both on Amazon. God bless.
Looks like the amps are to high. I was just reading up on the electrode and it recommends 70-100 amps for 1/8. It probably why your getting the spatter and the funky arc.
@@codywillard5156 I’ll try running a test with those amps. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
Your videos are great and you do a really good job but man i wish you'd use respiratory protection with that rod. Probably lots of nickel and other nasty stuff. Lots of smoke going into your hood. Just thinking of you guys health
I love how confident Bridger is at reading a tape measure you would not believe how many groan men comes in suppose to be welders that can't read a tape measure that's one of the first test I give welders now is to see if they can read a tape, and what's bad is they don't teach kids in grade school how to read a ruler
@@wendell454 This is very true. It’s a shame-the long list of things that aren’t taught in school anymore. It is a skill that can serve them for the rest of their lives. Thanks for watching!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
@@danramos281 thank you for watching!
Compared to standard 7018 those nickel rods aren't cheap either.
@@DXT61 That is very true. It’s good I only need them once in a while. Thanks for watching!
Chatter and parting tools will be the death of me. Or should i say death of inserts lol. An old trick is to add mass to the part thats chattering. If you can hoseclamp some mass to your part you bring down the resonant frequency and it can sometimes save your ass. Same with sticking a magnet to a boring bar it brings down the resonant frequency
When i find a good parameter for a rare rod i write it on the box for the next time i use them (sometimes years later)
@@vettepicking That’s a good idea. Sounds like your memory is like mine. Haha. Thanks for watching!
Nice job, bluedemon has very good tig rod For cast
@@sergiotapia312 What kind of Tig rod are you referring to?
Awesome work. Do you sell any of your caps?

@@eduardosampoia5480 Perfect! A delicate flower like yourself should find a channel that you agree with 100% of that person’s personal beliefs. Good luck. People like you are what’s wrong with this country. Go find yourself a “safe space” somewhere.
Nice job on the repair. If I would have known you were looking for some 312L I could have fronted you a stick or two as I have some on hand at my shop. I use both 312L and 309L for welding dissimilar metals quite a bit. I'm just north near Ogden. I just repaired a 1938 Farmall F12 tractor hub/wheel a couple weeks ago for a client, but I used UTP Ni-55 rod. I knocked the flux off the rod and made a couple root passes using TIG method after pre-heating to around 450-degrees and pinged using a needle scaler intermittently. I then used a cover weave pass of 309L to blend out and flatten down, followed by a slow cooling and wrapped in a welding blanket. Keep the videos coming. Mike
@@zmotorsports62 Thanks Mike, I appreciate that. That’s good to know that you are in Ogden. I will make note of that. Thanks for the offer on the rod. I’ll have to try the tig root method on the next one. Thanks for watching!
Why did you not spin the part around and put the groove in at the chuck end. stick out would have been miles shorter.
