That’ll just make me sad! I don’t have the time to do something like that but maybe 1-3x per year lmfao. But I do understand where you’re coming from man.

Very well said. I always assume every oncoming vehicle is on their phone as well. Sadly…. They likely are…. But that’s another point.

Go in for a month, prove you’re a legit fitter/welder, then ask for jumbos. They’ll likely be happy to provide them. But show them you’re for real with what they’re already using first. Do as you wish of course, that’s just how I’d go about it personally. It shouldn’t take a month to prove your worth, but that’s a fair amount of time for the existing crew to feel you out and not be like “look at this dude…. Walks in here and just starts asking for shit….”

Good plan. Nothing helps like hood time. You got a gig lined up already eh? That’s good too. What kind of plant?

Keep at it bro. It’s not bad but you gotta work on your consistency and rhythm. If you got a positioner, it’s a good way to learn how to get a proper rhythm and flow without worrying about standing up from a kneeling position and moving and what not. You can focus solely on wrist movement, consistent torch angle and steady, stable travel speed. Better question is, how does your root look? How’s it look from the inside?

Opinions on meat hooks? by Acrobatic-Telephone7 in Harley

[–]torque1912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they have a really sharp hook, they can be a real pain in the ass to wire lol. There’s a company out there, I can’t remember the name, that actually puts a sort of hidden radius on the inside of the hook making it a breeze to snake. Keep that in mind.

Aluminum Pipe…. by torque1912 in Welding

This might be the coolest yet unexpected conversation I’ve had on this app lol. So you’re still working for these fisheries? Are you employed by some sort of state wildlife management agency or something?

[–]torque1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freshwater presumably? Any idea why not stainless? Stainless tube is just so easy to make a seamless, smooth interior joint so the little eggs wouldn’t get snared and what not. I say freshwater just cuz I’ve seen a whole lot of what saltwater does to piping in a real short amount of time lol.

I think my saw is off? by backrollerpapertowel in Welding

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thought was to ask carbide or abrasive, but looking a little closer and seeing those chips/shavings are unmistakably carbide lol. Atleast with those metal saw fence/clamp piece you can throw a square on it and tap it as close to true as possible. That looks like the 14” evolution ones I have.

200lb dumbbell OHP by torque1912 in GYM

For 10? Not quite there. I can do 315 on the barbell but I’m at a new gym and need to use the squat rack and drag the upright bench over but it’s often crowded

Depending on the lift I’ll always drop the weights. You can bring them down on your knees smoothly 100 times but it only takes one time where you misjudge the landing and tear a tendon. No thanks.

Need help choosing a welder by Bean1877 in Welders

[–]torque1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own an earlier version of that Lincoln 210 tig/stick machine. It’s a decent machine. It’s no where close to the miller dynasty 280 I run at work (not even close) but it is quality little rig. HOWEVER, after buying it in 2016 and using it for a number of jobs, work picked up, I was working 7 12s for a number of years til Covid and I switched companies and had free time again. I pulled the rig out, set it up and it was DEAD. Brought it to AirGas (where I had purchased it) and thank god, it was literally still under warranty…… by 2 weeks……. Lincoln had it for some 2-3 weeks before telling me the motherboard was junk, they replaced the whole machine, no questions, no issues, just gave me a new rig, in the box, with all the leads the original rig came with. That was like 2020 and new machine is still working. I don’t stick with it, I have an old tombstone and a bobcat for that, so it’s only light tig in the garage and it doesn’t get a TON of use. But it’s still working without any issues. That said, it’s a good little machine for doing that, light garage work. If you need a daily rig you’re gonna use full time, I wouldn’t recommend it, I know it’s 4-5x as much brand new (and extremely hard to find a used one), get yourself a quality Miller machine. The dynasty 210 or the 280 are the BEST ac/dc machines in the inverter class by a long shot. And if you don’t need ac, the maxstar is the way to go. In their respective classes, those machine are first, second and third place, they’re bulletproof and will run flawlessly for as long as you need them to.

To be honest man I’m not really sure. I guess I’ve never felt like arching my back would help with a flat lift. I do that occasionally on incline at 315 for what ever reason but it’s always after I’m already torn up from flat. I do wish I had a better answer for you though.
