Welding positioner for the working poor

scrawled the following: Ignoramus22888 wrote: When I weld some things, such as especially pipes, but other things also, I often want to hold then relatively firmly in a certain way. The limit would be something like 10 lbs weight. What I want is that I want this holder to be flexible and hold stuff in any position. I am not looking to buy a $30,000 5 ton welding positioner, but more like a work holder that could hold stuff. Something like an arm with ball joints. Numerous searches turned up nothing at all. Ay ideas will be greatly appreciated. Here is a pair that I built a couple of years ago, one powered and one manual. http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/...sitioner_2.jpg The grounded, spring-loaded lever is for grounding the hub to keep arcing out of the bearing, but does it also act as an anti-rotation device? Is it straight or toothed? -- Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. -- Jules Renard |
