I burned for years at caterpillar we had a track cutter we always had the torch up and down the head you could set at any angle you wanted had degrees on the head I always used a separate torch in front of the cutting torch at 45 degrees it looked like it had been belt sanded was called champer for welding pieces together in one 8 hour night i burned 91 hours of labor on 1.5 inch metal both sides would burn one side flip it over and the second side burned faster but I still used the torch to keep it warm we had a cutting table with a square hole in the middle with a angle slide and a drop pan worked great that was 1989 new track cutters are different now we had buttons to turn gas on and we always set the heat of torch my eye sight😊

Great review , thanks . You can perfectly explain the topic. This is one of the best video I saw about this machine!

Thanks for sharing it. What about welding wires packing in drums? How would be the testing? Thanks!

26:05 Closing the torch operation: FIRST turn off Oxygen and then ACETYLENE( O before A). It allows you to check for leaks in the system. and it is recommended procedure in case of a malfunction. If you follow O before A shut off and you hear a pop ---> OXY valve is leaking. If there is a small flame clinging to the tip then the FUEL valve is leaking. By using O before A you get a check of the operation of the valves each time you use the torch. If you shut down A before O. you will get a pop and SOOT will be sucked back into the torch possibly clogging the gas passages.

"23:35 if there is too much heat don't adjust the pressures at the torch. CHANGE TO A SMALLER TIP" Just about every oxy welding video tells you otherwise. They say there is a range of heat adjustment you can achieve by increasing/decreasing the fuel mixture. You want to ensure the fuel pressure at the tip does not fall below a level which would see the flame sucked into the tip and torch (STARVATION of fuel) You also do not want the fuel flame to burn too far ahead of the tip (too high fuel pressure)

David, make more videos please. Hope you’re enjoying making vlog. Keep it up

@drreadthepuddle4332 Hi you can send me your email please i need ask you question about this welding machine thank you!

I'm watching this for my Welding Class good job on the video

i heard you say that because it was plastic and it could run .045 that you doubt it could run it for 2 hrs in a row. Mybe... why don't you demo this???

never heard of that before. cool and thank you

I just test mine and I'm happy with mig aluminium welding... But I'm disappointed . On tig I have to scratch it to start the arc and this machine has not tig aluminium welding. I thought it has but can't find it. Nice weld os stick. Not nice welding on gasless wire.. I found it far to expensive for a little toy ..

outstanding!

Its funny really that Americans think Fronius is just gaining traction, these are used in big corporations like Audi to weld their performance cars, they are used extensively all over the EU for automated and non automated tasks.

Could you do all the steps to load tests a welder with a multimeter?

Local shop had acetylene tank catch fire. Workers dragged it outside, let it burn all day, all safe. Then a farm big propane tank caught fire, firemen poured water on it, 4 people dead.

Fire vid as always. This vid aint mid ong fr no cap banger. Keep it real

"promosm"

Is it ok to put acetylen and oxygen side by side on cart? Is it safe?

I have this machine in work for at least 4 years. all I can say is if your hands grow from butt, u gonna break anything. plastic or not.

Oh( the music sucks….no need for it on a video like this

How come you didn't weld the back of the tubing it's would have been stronger yet

How come you didn't weld the back of the tubing it's would have been stronger yet

why didnt you measure the force req for failure?

gussets should be used in addition to a welded joint as in the data sheet picture........your demonstration was poorly executed with missing joint and inner gussets welds and improper gussets placement

instructions said to place the gusset edge in the midline.

it's worth mentioning that this test shouldn't be necessarily extrapolated to other tube shapes or orientations or to solid tube necessarily.

Thank you for putting this information out there.

Excellent video. Have respect for the torch it can kill you.

Thanks for uploading this. This video answered a lot of questions for me. I learned my old Victor torch doesn't have any check valves or flashback arrestors.

Pretty, the fashion word?

Doc. This was fascinating!!!! What if we put a single gusset in the center and then the two on the outside ? Would it be possible that the single gusset on the interior could absorb more of the shock load? Based on what I just saw I’m thinking it would help to divide the load more evenly and the outer gussets would work more efficiently. If possible could you one day do another video and try this same setup again with a single gusset in the center plus the two on the outside? James

Excellent informative video

great video

😂😂 yes sir

maby it is a montage welder not an garage welder...

Smooth arc. Aluminum mig works amazing. Especially the arc legnth control. Best little welder i have ever used.

Interested to hear your response if you had time. I'm on the fence about agreeing with your analysis. I'm an mechanical engineering technologist so my background may not be enough to satisfy an answer here but none the less I'll outline my thoughts. 1) How can we say the second joint (gussets welded outside) is stronger? - We don't have any data to backup how much force either of the joints experienced so comparison is difficult, eyeballing it I don't think is correct either. -We also saw the second joint reached and exceeded the ultimate strength of the weld, leading to failure. Perhaps in shear or in tensile. Though looking at the loading I would think transverse shear of the weld and failure from that shear stress is what occurred in joint 2. - The tubing may have not experienced any plastic deformation but we do see an overall failure of the joint at the weld. What does this say about it's integrity compared to a pound for pound comparison of joint 1? 2) Comparing the two joints we see that joint 1 did not fail but experienced plastic deformation, the tubing buckling on the face. Again we have no data for force applied but assuming they are the same in this experiment it would suggest that the first joint is stronger since it did not fail, though exceeded elastic deformation which is highly unfavorable, even worse then for joint 2. -What does this say about the joint design? If the second joint were to have a larger safety factor perhaps it wouldn't have failed, but we would need to increase the first joint proportionally to have an equal comparison. -If we are looking from a design and repair perspective perhaps not destroying the main member is the purpose of using joint 2? So disposal of gussets and replacement is more feasible, but the main member would need to be replaced regardless from the excessive stresses induced from the over loading. Anyone can feel free to chime in, great video none the less!

what color is Oxygen cylinder color, it should be black, and Acetylene should be Green. But you have shown opposite

Is it necessary to fix flash back arrester for oxygen cylinder ? If yes then why ?

Awesome, It would be prefect if you put on your gloves for safety, beginners watch the video and copy it.

Clear as mud! 😂😂

Excellent video. Its very easy to understand. Thanks

Awesome

Hi! Thank you for very good video! I was (obviously) very lucky i saw this video! ALL THAT PARTS ARE PLASTIC..! I have Esab Rebel, and it`s parts are metal. Even side cover is quite thick metal. I stay my Esab, thank you for warning me. This Fronius is very good welder, as they say, but also Kemppi, very good and reliable welder has plastic parts inside and side cover, i can`t understand..

The easiest bevel 30 degrees.from 45 and more cut from the downface.

Great job on the video, really informative and useful information for new people to the trade

You don't have to preheat mild steels or carbon steels. The cutting process is exothermic so it generates more heat than you give in to start with. Just keep the feed rate constant and let oxygen do its work.

Thank you for sharing this information

Victor makes a protractor adaptor with a pre -heater ,if you needed to bevel long piece ,you'd be there all day preheating w/out one.

Why not a Victor tractor?
