Gidday :D
We been doing a bit of sheet metal work lately anywaz to cut a long story short after I jumped thinking our guillo got a hold of me after my off sider suddenly decided to change routine (Hands......whatch out................suddenly changed to the guillo flying into action without warning) we got a critical cut 9mil out! on some sheet metal bending work!
Luckily we finished our 1st job hassle free and was able to use this as a template to get all the angles right for a Tack up. We successfully got things micky mouse n tacked up ready to weld.
Shes about 2 meter square of 3mil sheet (Top of a bin hopper I think...................folded into place on the pan brake at work)
Anywaz wanting any tips u guys a got to reduce reduce heat buildup and distortion ........................
So far were gonna use as many clamps n cleats as possible n skip weld to reduce distortion .................
I'm pushing for attacking the weld which is basically a 3mil outside corner in dip transfer on the MIG but me off sider wants to go hotter (Lower end of Glob) Also wanting to let her cool naturally at room temp (Normalise)
Any hints for avoiding cold fushion and reducing heat / distortion really appreciated!!!!!
Not much room for error on this one so any advise from the Mig gurus out there really appreciated!!!!
