![]() ![]() Fully robotic multi axis waterjet would likely be best and fastest, but i'm sure to the op that machine is as available to him as an ironworker. I was looking at it from a smaller shop perspective, which the OP seems to be operating from. I always add something (again long 2x4, piece of steel strap tube angle etc) to use as an adjustable stop attaching point (which again can be made from anything clamped, screwed, etc) to make ACCURATE repeated cuts (the key to fast, good fitup, which is key to stainless). No need to get fancy with a cutting station, short aluminum ladder, piece of 2圆, saw horses, 2x4 scraps nailed together, etc, and a cheap, but well set up bandsaw will do. If this job came to me I'd cut most of it in a bandsaw with some stick lube, always stack material and make multiple cuts at once when possible, slower feed for stainless, use a square tube spacer to clamp the angle in different positions for speed/ease of positioning when cutting. ![]() but the argument as to which is stronger? IF it's that close to failure to make a difference (unless you're at the edge working for nasa) you undoubtedly need to upscale your design in more than a few places. If the corner fitup(cope vs miter), or leg welded to side vs.placed under is a structural concern and in ANY danger of failure you are totally and completely underdesigned! I understand the argument of which you prefer for distortion, ease of cut, etc. Last edited by n00b 03-14-2019 at 11:21 AM.Ĭutting and prepping efficiently is usually the major time difference IMO, and when using tig for something like this I try to plan cuts to minimize total weld length, even if it means more prep time. OR can i weld aluminum with 7018 or something Like i dont know where to buy aluminum stick welding rods like what are they called and where can i find them. my band saw is in the corner between a wall and garage door and if i ran it on the other side, it would hit the wallĪLSO QUESTION: Can i use aluminum brazing rods in my stick welding holder to weld aluminum. First time i cut angle on the bandsaw was a few days ago and it wasnt until the next day i figured out the thing about throwing out the miter and recutting it. I simply dont have the length to run the angle on the other side and clamp it down so i have to resort to alternative means. Think twice before cutting so you don't snooker yourself with too short an end to hold in the vise, etc.Yeah but sometimes i am working with 2ft angle and am cutting a 15" sections with miters. ![]() Cut one end on one side of your saw, cut the other end at the other side of your saw, WITHOUT turning the angle/channel etc. After making many many mistakes with mitre-ing angle and channel, I think i have FINALLY learned. ![]()
