bits of tig welding info

Banks need collateral for a personal loan.
Corvettes not worth much today unless you own a L88.
C4 worth $5 k only if you own a convertible like I do.

Vintage Trans Am worth a Mint $$$$$.
Not putting the title up !
 
I have earned my living twenty years by welding,i have 4 plate and 4 pipe test with mig, tig and stick
There is few good welders in youtube ,especially jody from weldingtipsandtricks.com
You learn welding by doing it
Testing difrent materials , settings and positions
Thin stainless pipe with stick is challenge for me
 
Anyone ever hear of or use CEBORA Welders ?
Looks like its an Italian Company.
You Tube Vids on it appear to be in Russian & I can not understand any.
Looks like a few of them made it into the USA.
Looks like they are huge in Europe Cebora.

Found a Vintage Cebora TIG local.
Guys says it still works & I can buy it for just a few hundred. $$$.
Something is better than nothing to start off with for a TIG I am thinking.
 
get the current owner to weld a couple 2x2 1/4" angle aluminum sections together edge to edge to form a (Z) with it, if it can do that buy it!

He says it was used 3 weeks ago Grumpy.
Sounds like Dual Voltage. He has been using at 110 VAC.
Works nice on steel.
Ok on aluminum.
It's a DC only Tig.
No AC.
Aluminum I recall you need around 2 times the current to pool correct.
Remember that with Ed race Fabbing his garage.
Mainly steel use for me.
No Present Turbo 1 off discharge piping to fab or custom intercoolers.
I don't have the Sheer or sheet metal brake and big Bandsaw table to create like Ed has.
What do you think ?
Cebero Pocket Pulse TIG 100.
Not much info online.
Must be 25 -30 years old.
 
Found Info on a welding forum.
Scratch start.
No High frequency start.

Better off with my present Snap On Tweeco MW120 MIG welder yet.

Save my money.
 
It's looking like I need to save up $2k Grumpy to get a decent used TIG I will not regret purchasing.

Are You familiar with Miller Maxstar 200 welders ?
Found a few online used.
Some guys strip and selling just the welder. No pedal and no Torch head.
Like what the Hay?

Complete looks nice $2k asking price.

Maxstar are they liquid cooled or air cooling ?
 
TIG torches on most cheap machines are air cooled, this can and frequently does limit the duration between cool down periods required at higher amp levels
a liquid cooled torch requires an additional coolant pump and reservoir of coolant (generally radiator fluid) generally a separate 110 volt pump in reservoir of coolant, and requires a TIG TORCH designed to be fluid cooled, most commercial coolant pumps run on a 110 volt pump with about a 2 gallon fluid capacity and generally are designed to sit on a welding car next too or under or over the TIG WELDER
BTW the idiot in the video says you need to strictly limit coolant flow, thats basically WRONG, you want to limit PRESSURE but increases in volume at reasonable pressure helps increase cooling efficiency

I have a Miller 180 amp. welder Diversion 180 that was 2k and I added a TIG Perfect from Janis Indestries to give me pulse capabilities and have been pleased. Still working on the pulse stuff. Takes a lot of practice!
 
Any welding takes practice. You quit for a month--you have to learn all over again. Some people are just natural at it and they never lose the touch.
 
thats a nice and informative video, on tig welding technique

heres a bit more on the torch


 
They didn't have these heads when I was doing a lot of welding, but my son uses the flex head at his job welding nothing but stainless in a plant. He's better than I ever was for that's in his job description. Plus I bought him an older Miller water cooled from DRM)O for his home use.
