tjc transport Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 with a torch??? 🤣 i can just barely make a straight line with the plasma cutter anymore. 35-40 years ago i was very good with cutting torch, but than i got the plasma cutter and have only used 2 bottles of oxygen in 35 years. in the past 10 years i dont think i have fired up the plasma cutter but one time.

Mark T Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Exactly. How many times would you clamp something along by the cut to follow as well . I wish I could do stuff like that...... but I think I'll stick with wearing my ropers instead of sandals . I forget where I was watching one of those videos and they were throwing the wires over the ones on the poles for the welding (lol) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/58/#findComment-525608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that torch work. I can’t cut anywhere close to that nice with a plasma cutter. I like there method of “spot welding” too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/58/#findComment-525609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 whole video was amazing . totally impressed with the welding. haven't seen a weld where the flux curls up like a scorpion tail in years. wonder what else goes on there not being shown? LOL . don't think inner frame rails were tensile steel watching the small drill go through.

Mark T Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If you go through to the end , other videos come up you can watch if you choose. There was one a guy was doing some kind of frame repair. He was cut'n, grind'n ...weld'n....little more grind'n. Went on to say the total repair cost $170.00 .
