This just came up on my fb feed from 11 year's ago my very second day of tig welding and i ran these beads, it was out in the wind and i had the machines fan blowing across the welds i did'nt know...

Yeah i may paint on the cold gal thank's for that tip

Nah was'nt offended just been doing other thing's lately getting back into gardening veggies

Had a lot on my mind, leading up to my mum's...

Yeah still messing with outboards, current outboard was a bit of a steal tho, Yamaha 80hp 4 stroke 2003 cost $1500, another $300 to weld and machine the head and purchase gaskets, $50 for a control...

A friend has offered me a Sea Link boat trailer the cross members and rear quarter of the main chassis has galvanize coating flaking off in big chunk's, it's a 3mm steel trailer just wondering how...

This came up on my facebook from 9 year's ago i think it was one of the first tig job's i done, i used a Repco 140A arc welder converted to tig, No HF so was only scratch start and no anti stick on...

I started to build this homemade boat fuel tank it was only around 500mm wide the material was bendable 2.5mm aluminium, if you were to make a 1800mm wide similar bender you can run a series of holes...

Problem with that is it's a morse taper shaft so any side movement it will just fall out

I'm not to sure they are just RCD switches/breakers which are resettable, one for stove and another for the big A/C

Still getting the hang of welding in awkward position's, today i tacked on a piece of 5mm flat bar to possibly 1.6mm round tubing, at first i had set the EWM to 30amp i was sure i was going to blow...

Looking around the internet u can get a 3/4" weldon shank to fit the mag drill with a 1/2" 20 UNF threaded section to fit a er16 collet

I had something like this a couple day's ago i had the main dinning room/lounge room 5kw air con going and turned the stove on and it shut the air con off even tho there are two RCD's thinking the...

Karl in the video he removes the magnet and bolt's the mag drill to the frame using the magnet mounting hole's

I have been seeing mill's and lathe, drill, mill machines come up for sale just missed a lathe, mill, drill machine for $100 just did'nt think i would be able to carry it or move it, another one was...

Actually i just checked on the Edcon Steel website i estimated 6 meters of 50x50x3mm shs it's showing 25.5kg that's just over $100 to galvanize at $4 per kilo to galvanize

I will go this option...

Yeah it's Duragal i have been told HDG only comes in heavier steel length's, i can go upto 75x75x3mm that's if i can find it in HDG, main chassis is 100x50mm so it should'nt look to awkward, at $4 a...

Yeah i will likely be peddling up hill's that's ok with assistance, i have read these MY1016 250w motor's arenot rated for continous duty cycle so i will have to go easy on it especilly if i need to...

Hey guys what are my option's for cross member's

All i can find in 50x50x3mm is pre galvanised but it's not hot dipped galvanized, i really need to keep my GVM under 749kgs, old trailer rego paper...

Who want's to peddle tho lol

Just lost my reply lost internet connection, sprocket's range about 54T-92T 92 is the biggest i have found so i will be ordering that, according to the link's above in there calculator's the speed...

It would be the same thing tho Droog diameter of x and x sprocket be it teeth or diameter both will work on a ratio

Thank's for the link that website is awesome

According to the calculation my new 250watt motor will take 4.6mins to ride 1km up my street which is 3% grade at 13kph, 30 meter's rise over 1km,...

I'm doing some circumference and ratio calculation's using a calculator so i'm probably all wrong

25mm diameter main drive sprocket
500mm wheel spocket
Equils 20:1 ratio
0.9n.m at 20:1 = 18n.m...

That link trying to figure out the ratio to put in the ratio is 1:6.33 when i add that number the calculatir reset's to 1, when i add a ratio of 6 i get 5.4N.M

I ordered a new kit which includes one of these MY1016 motor's, any idea how to calculate the torque output
...

Just ran the test again it settles down to 21amp, for me to get any power out of this starter i'm not sure if it will be practicle, legal limit is 200watts for a Ebike this little motor pump's out...

Just spun up the motor using the watt meter battery was reading 11volt watt meter read 24amp 239watts only tested it for 3-4 second's, i will charge battery soon and get some stable number's

Took 10min to remove the front wheel and fit a rear wheel to the front fork

Sorry Kryn i just seen your post, I sold the chop saw 2 day's ago, bugger

I thought about a clamp meter after i had purchased the watt meter bugger

Anyway i just picked up a bike just a BMX shagged old thing from market place for $30 tried to buy a rear wheel to place...

Thank's guy's, If i rewire it i will unwind the armature and measure the total length of wire x the thickness and look up the Ohms spec's and pick a new wire and x diameter

The starter is for a...

Thank's :2tsup:, i pulled the motor apart again and measured the wire diameter it measured 0.40mm x 5T, wound around every 1 and 4 poles, there are 16 poles, i done a little reaserch looking for...

As soon as i receieved the starter last week i opened it up to check the winding's, i have no problem rewinding the armature i just don',t know how many turn's and what thickness wire to use

It...

It's a brush motor so i need to keep it at 12 volt's it's rated 50amp but i won't need that huge amount of power, 10-15amp possibly up to 20amp should be sufficient

Thought about rewinding the...

Hey guy's how do i regulate current on a 12volt circuit to lower the speed of a electric motor?

It's a starter motor i was going to rewind but hooked up a multimeter to test current and noticed it...

Mini 6 inch chop saw look's rough as it sat out in the garden shed for 7 year's, got a workout once or twice a year, very easy to carry, takes a 150x2.5x22mm cutting disc available from bunnings, has...

Thank's for that link my local welding shop sell's them by the stick or kg :2tsup: will give those a try

Droog those cold gal paint's never work on saltwater boat trailers a plan was to use tefgel but i may still use tefgel along with soldering the hole to seal the steel

Trying to avoid adding extra...

Thank's China, i was'nt sure if solder would stick to steel :2tsup:

Hey Guy's, Can i drill a 13mm hole in steel than solder around the rim of the hole using a blow torch without burning off the galvanize? Hole will be redrilled to 12mm-12.5mm just need to keep the...

If weld need's to be tidy can u just key the bar and slot the flat bar into the round bar? I have seen lot's of people cut key slot's on the lathe

Video guy's https://youtu.be/lfUdtorsT3Q?si=bfPRxJRICR0jWQm8

Video Guy's, Not a professional video but giving it a go

https://youtu.be/lfUdtorsT3Q?si=bfPRxJRICR0jWQm8

I need 1370mm on the outsides of the main chassis to fit my old trailer axle and spring hanger's with that i need a 90mm wide drawbar it's just the sweet spot the steel beam's rested at, i don't...

Was tempted to use left over PFC 100x50mm C channel for the drawbar but i will get a length of 100x100x3mm gal tubing for the drawbar so there's no twisting when i turn corner's

Main frame is bent and cut to size, one side is sitting lower on the grass and the otherside is sitting on the concrete so it appear's one side is twisted but they are both bent straight

Hey guy's i got my 4x bend's made, the two bend's bending away from the flange turned out perfect, the two bend's bending towards the flange not so great 1 set of flanges bent out the other piece...

I put a little more bend into the first bend on the length than proceeded to make the second bend it was late about 6:30-7pm dropped a few pieces of steel and only cracked it once and said "" out...

Has admin reduced my upload speed it's taking 1min per 1mb to upload, happy to stop posting if that's the case

Over 20min's to upload 3 picture's

Some pic's of the bend's, no galvanize cracking yet

I just checked my vernier caliper is off by 00.20mm
