Aluminum TIG welding repair on a Meat Slicer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2024
- This one is quite unique. We take a meat slicer from the local county jail and repair the broken cast where the foot mounted before it was dropped and broken. We TIG weld the broken cast, re-drill, and surface the welded area, and tap a new hole. This is a fairly common repair for cast aluminum. Hope you guys enjoy!

If you use the countersink prior to tapping the hole it helps with starting the tap straight as well as getting rid of the burr.
Great video and tig skills. Little tip is to use some light oil on drill bits when drilling ally as it helps it stops it sticking to drill flutes.
just a word of advice is put your ground as close as you can to where you are welding so you are not going through the motor and arcing out the bearings. great repair and i subbed.
I personally would have taped back of motor to keep shavings/chips out
Excellent work.!! Thanks for sharing.!
Thank you for watching!
When using air pressure for cooling it can stir up dust so eye protection is needed...especially aluminum dust. The doctor can pull small particles of steel out of the eye with a magnet but aluminum they need to manually dig it out-greater risk of eye infection. Ask me how I know...
Great fix!
Thank you sir, and thanks for watching!
harbor freight sells maddox screw extractor set. spins counterclockwise its 60 bucks nice kit i use it at work on semi trucks
Love the videos
Thank you, I appreciate that, and thanks for watching!
Surprised u didn't find a hidden shank or secret stash lol
Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍
Love the videos. Should wear a respirator for those aluminum shavings.
Just bought a couple. You should start seeing them in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching!
Fun fact i worked at a deli all through out high school. I bet i can still make a mean sub sandwich if i got on a slicer lol
I bet you could! I bet a Jersey sub is pretty dang good!
Good video. What abrasives are you using for aluminum?
I use Pearl abrasives, and love them.
That might be a Globe Commercial Slicer Model #CP13A and if it is, it'll take Base Shroud Slicer Foot #510031.
You sound like a guy that knows your meat slicers…?
Nice Job! Welding cast aluminum never goes that well for me.
That’s probably the best I’ve ever welded. I totally understand. It’s never that smooth.
Ill take a roast beef on sour dough
Coming right up! Thanks for watching!
Yeah...metal shavings around electric motor...not a good thing.
Yeah not ideal, but to be fair it doesn't look like much swarf is getting in that motor
@@Sydney268 any swarf is no good.
I will say the motor looks to be TEFC or similar so it’s not like there’s a huge opening for the shavings to enter like you’d see on a brush motor or open framed induction etc.
They’d have to get into the bearings which is much harder/less likely.
Still, you’re right the less of that crap that gets near moving parts, the better.
U wouldn't charge for machinist hours rite? U said higher rate but only used tap wrench probly just give prison a break and charge just welder rate rite?
Correct. For this project I just charged my Fabrication rate.
@Freedomfabrication777 🤔fine line to walk there but u get lots of interesting jobs so it's working 🙌
@@chorgzent.3978 It seems to be working, so I guess we’ll keep doing it that way. I’m just trying to figure it out like everyone else. Lol.
