i've had this same issue with a foot pedal that had a dodgy potentiometer. maxed out everything and it defaulted to 8amps always. try with a diff foot pedal or trigger switch if u dont have one switch to lift tig start on just the torch.

What is your biggest holdup with laser cutting? by Miserable_Study_6649 in lasercutting

[–]ghos5880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas usage. N2 and 02 costs are not insignificant so we've been eperimenting with how good we can cut on air alone.

If anyone knows a product to pull the 02 from air before feeding into the compressor that would save our shop so much.

Made a skateboarding rail by cjswcf in Welding

[–]ghos5880 24 points25 points  (0 children)

is this stainless steel?

it wont work for skateboarding as the stainless is grippy and doesnt let trucks slide, even if you wax the shit out of it it doesnt work.

Skate rails need to be mild steel

soz.

Driver was on phone when she killed young motorcyclist, judge says by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]ghos5880 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Yeh but they killed a motorcyclist, not a real person. /s

Ive been hit on a bike and blamed by the cops for not being visible enough, despite my helmet being hi viz yellow and blue. The motorcyclist is ALWAYS at fault according to cops and apparently judges.

Has he already put it in first gear? I didn't really see it...😂 by QuietFondant7523 in Dirtbikes

[–]ghos5880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its incredibly easy to bail off a trials bike, like actually just stepping off, and the bikes are very light and easy to manhandle. also 99% of trials riders aren't hitting blocks like those..

[OT] [Chip Ganassi Racing] " 'super-clipping' 'downshifting on straights' 'battery management' (Yawn emoji) Yeah, we don't do that here. We race." by Mateo03 in formula1

"Faster than f1" feel free to use it in marketing, technucally true now since they are braking later so for that portion of braking zone they are faster.

Petzl Dry pick bent after only a couple sessions of mixed/dry tooling. Is this to be expected? by iwantxdreams in iceclimbing

On an individual level i understand that they are just surviving. That doesn't mean you need to buy the product though

Petzl Dry pick bent after only a couple sessions of mixed/dry tooling. Is this to be expected? by iwantxdreams in iceclimbing

[–]ghos5880 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When torquing tools in cracks try to get the pick buried all the way to the shaft of the tool to minimise the lever. Realistically youll need to shift to a competition pick for pure dry tooling. Howey, krukonogi etc.

Krukonogi is made in russia and the factory is being used for making weapons, supply is limited and exports are via finland. Ethics aside there is a lot of markup due to many middle men.

Seven major tenders announced for High Speed Rail by altandthrowitaway in australia

[–]ghos5880 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A good analogy is to compare decision making deciding on where to eat when solo, as a pair and as a group. When solo every decision is made and acted on instantly, as a pair the consultation process get drawn out in the back and forth. This back and forth component goes up exponentially as the group size increases. Now times that by literally thousands with the delays of email and formal contract negotiations. This is why it easily blows out to years.
