Re: Welding Newbie

Hi newbie here.

Im trying to find someone who could fabricate and weld the horn ring of my steering wheel. Dami ko na po pinuntahan na welder sabi daw di pwde kasi pundido daw yun material. Ano ibig sabihin po ba ng pundido? Naka chrome kasi yun tapos naputol. I also need a round bar na pundido din kasi nawala na rin yun ring. Can you recommend a shop located in mandaluyong kung saan pwde po mag pagawa.

thanks

attached is a sample picture of the horn ring ng steering wheel.

Re: Welding Newbie

What do you mean by transformer? A whole new building may need a transformer but I doubt a welding machine will have such large electrical load. My small 160amp Yamato is just plugged to a normal household outlet.

Some here add a separate circuit breaker just to be sure. But I have not heard a transformer requirement for a welding machine especially those used for small projects like you plan to do.

Re: Welding Newbie

The stated inquiry has been posted by the same member at the sub-forum SMAW (Stick Welding)
and have been promptly answered. I just hope bro romelabrador reads this and the other reply
in the mentioned sub-forum.

Lots of members here have the YAMATO 200 AMP DC Inverter machine and have not required the use of any transformer.

:rolleyes::hook1:;)

Re: Welding Newbie

ano ba source ng electrcity? sa meralco ba? na ka sub meter lang ba?

dito sa bahay namin meron din akong 200amps welding machine (galing raon) wala naman nagiging problem kahit may ilang apliances ang na ka ON. like ref. 1 desktop pc, ilang ilaw, ilang electric fans. yung TV lang pinapatay namin pag ng wewelding ako. bihira ko lang naman gamitin everyother two months,aprox 1-2hrs lang naman..
meron transformer dedicated ang meralco para aprox 50 houses or less, pero wala naman nagiging problem or complaint galing sa kapitbahay.

sa dating office namin, naka sub meter lang. pag meron gumamit ng welding machine ramdam ang kurap ng mga pc monitors,ilaw, etc. kaya napalipat din kami...

hindi ko alam bakit need mo pa ng transformer.. lol

Re: Welding Newbie

Started joining my project today.

My make shift table. I'll hopefully build a proper welding table later when I feel more comfortable with my skill level.

I'm welding using 1/8" 7024 drag electrodes at 160A ( AC Stick Welding )

sir jay saan po kayu naka buy ng 7024 na rod and how much po per kilo tnx.:thanks:

 

Re: Welding Newbie

This is how my folding metal table work stands now.

Purchased different rod types and sizes. Made some rod storage using pvc pipes too to at least keep some moisture out.

3/32" and 1/8" rods. High penetration ( 6011 ) , high tensile strength ( 7018 ), filler drag rods ( 7024 ) and the widely used ones ( 6013 )

saan po kau naka bili ng 7024 na rod sir jay :thanks:

My Welding Machine EDON 300 amp...

Well having your ADH and welding machine on hand, hope you already have your other protective clothing,
then better start practicing and burn those rods on your practice plates. Get yourself familiar or accustomed
to applying those weld beads and learning the proper travel speed and angle of rods. Its only thru practice and
more practice that you will learn and understand how to weld. OK stay safe !

Also lots of videos you can watch and follow in YouTube regarding stick welding. :2thumbsup::agree:

Good Luck and enjoy the experience !! :barmy:
