If its the wrong group then explain why it came up with a search for welding? I don't know how you found this group with a search on the word "welding". I did a google search on the word and came up with pages of links - none of which, within the 7 pages I viewed, pointed to this forum. But - there were 7 other pages of links that probably could have answered you question more appropriately. As to why it may come up in a search - this is a usenet newsgroup. There may have been a thread about welding - could have been a thread about a broken weld on a tablesaw for example, and that is all it would take for that thread to show up in a search. It's up to you to look at the content of the link a bit to see if it makes sense. Off the top of my head, I would not assume a woodworking newsgroup would be the place to post a welding question. -- -Mike- |

Replace heating torches with cutting torches or plasma cutters.
The welds are not likely continuous, so cut around them and remove 98% of the metal decking. Be careful not to cut the metal supports underneath the decking. When nothing but the welds remain, notch the replacement boards to accomodate the weld buildup.

All i end up doing is destroing the grinding wheel. sorry about the mix up i am a member of this group and when i did the search and seen the refrence of welding in it i should have checked to make sure the content and i do apologize about it. |

This is not an answer to that question but some times you have to apply some common sense to filter out obviously incorrect suggestions of where to look. |

Don't be afraid to buy a cheap one to get you started -- Hey, you're anywhere near welded steel, you need an angle grinder. Get a flap wheel for it, a narrow cutting disk and a twisted cup wire brush (for stripping paint). Get some safety goggles, earmuffs and thick gloves too. Use the narrow cutting disk to cut a groove through the weld, running parallel to the edge of the piece you want to keep. You don't have to cut all the way through, just make a deep groove. If you have to, be brutal to the "scrap" piece and chop through that first. Damage things you don't need, so as to preserve things you do want. When you have the groove most of the way through, switch off the grinder and try bending the steel back and forth until it cracks. Don't hammer it -- that bends things you'll only have to fix afterwards. If it won't crack or bend yet, cut the groove deeper. When it's apart, tidy it up with the flap disk. BTW If you try to use the cutting disk as a grinding disk (grinding on the side of it), or if you try to bend it, then it will crack and shatter -- probably hitting you in the face. Use the damned thing properly or you're likely to get hurt. |
