Anyone have anything to post about metalworking?

Steve

We're thinking of starting a newsgroup labeled "rec.crafts.political.BS" in
hopes it will turn into a newsgroup containing mostly metalworking
content....

Why didn't you when you had the chance, hmmm?

I picked up some 1/2" square tubing a short while back and
need to cut and arc-weld some together. I have a little HF
132amp ac/dc welder and some 3/32" 7018 and 1/8" 6011 rod.
What settings should I use to join the 45°-cut tubing at 90°?

(Will that do?)

the 3/32 at about 35 amps. AC would be cool, as you wont have as much
arc blow in the inside corner.

them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Wire feed or tig would be prettier..shrug. Ive made a ton of window
bars using 1/2" tubing and 3/32 rod

I'll trade a nearly new HF stick welder for a nice little TIG and some
gas.

I think I know where there is a Miller Dialarc 250 HF for a $100 bill.

??? isn't that a stick welder, or is the HF an attachment for TIG? But
that's about $200 too steep for me at the moment. One client is making
payments to me and I have no idea when she'll come through with the
last $600. Another is $1,000 short and two others are paying ITEX
barter bucks. sigh Well, at least I'm busy. g
