You have uploaded a very good beginners guide to plasma cutting and full credit to you for finding the time and patient’s in putting it together. A couple of points, to help your watchers, which tbf may have already been mentioned below… • Air flow (scfh/lpm) at the machine is just as (if not more) important than supplied air pressure which ensures you maintain a well formed plasma stream. • Always have an additional air filter etc at your air outlet to ensure the minimum amount of moisture even reaches the air filter fitted to the machine. • Using a ‘metal’ guide to run your plasma torch along is not recommended as it can encourage ‘double arcing’ which basically reduces the life of your cutting tip/consumables. • To experience the best cutting performance, (cut quality and consumable life) always match the cutting tip amperage to the machine amperage, i.e. when setting the machine to 30A fit a 30A cutting tip. This gives you the best cut quality. • Cutting tips are either designed to be dragged or ‘stood off’ so depending on the plasma torch being used always ensure the correct cutting tip is fitted for your cutting application, again to give you either better cut quality and/or consumable life. • Generally drag tip cutting material under 5mm will give you the best cut quality. There is many factors that dictate cut quality, from.... correctly installing the machine to material type/thickness being cut, overall air quality, operator experience, using the correct consumable setup, not using over worn consumables etc etc for a lot of plasma machine owners improving consumable life will dictate what costs you continue to pay when purchasing replacement consumables over time! Again, very well put together Sir :)
Is this an early 70's Ford Poplar.....I do believe that is the car I took my test back in 1971 !!! What an exquisite job on the Fab/weld/resto! Top-draw, could I have one in Lotus yellow. 😂😊😂
@Urchfab Thanks for sharing this video. Query, do you have anything against 0.6mm wire for 0.8mm steel like on a classic mini? I had been using 0.8mm but changed to 0.6mm, and I am running a slightly higher voltage than recommended, but I think I need to turn it up further. Curious though how 0.6mm will compare to 0.8mm wire though and if it will react differently to higher voltage. Thanks
Hi Matt I have a Eland 200 Which works great!! But I am welding my van now so I bought a 15kg 0.6 wire, I changed the wire feed roller to 0.6 but the wire won’t feed into the gun. I think now it’s the weight of the15kg roll of wire is too heavy. I put the half roll of 0.8 wire in and it works great. Could help me Regards Garry
Another straight up, no nonsense video from you Matt, watching your progress is always interesting and this video has really shown the honest side of ramping up the bhp, hopefully you'll find that sweet spot between chassis, suspension and sweet, sweet booooooost!!! 😂 All power to you mate, keep on rolling 👊😁
I have 4 HTP machines at my place and really no need for another but, your review was spot on so I may have to add this one to the shop. Thanks for making my wife mad.
20 years ago a wise friend once told me...if you have the machines and the materials you can build anything you want...!! Solid build brotha...💯😎🤙🏽🥰🙏🏽❣️
Thanks to this I was forced to do some image searches and to my surprise there is a Ford Prefect 100e that looks just like the Anglia 100e except for the grill. I guess Ford was feeling a little lazy that year. I had the Anglia 105e with the angled back window a fun little car.
Jasic have been in Australia for well over a decade, as mentioned, rebranded. Every machine of theirs I have used over the years has seemed well built, user friendly and reliable. I have recommended to people to check for the logo(mostly on Unimig) when shopping for welders. It's great to see them as a stand alone product now.
Excellent video Matt, over here in Oz they go by the rebranded name of Unimg and you don't hear of them having a lot of problems. It's a bugger 🙁, if I was still living in the UK I would definitely be up for taking one of your classes as I just purchased a ac/dc 205 Cigweld (Esab) tig and now the learning-fun starts. Take care, Cheers
Thanks for the great advice mate. My question (not trolling) is: if the brake cleaner residue can give toxic fumes when welding, how does it help to burn it off beforehand with a torch? Isn't that the same result?
Just for the math, when you count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, it’s actually a four second interval. Because you’re starting your count at the beginning of the first second and ending it at the last count. So the number of seconds is always one second less than the count. Otherwise, you have to weld for one second before starting your count. It may seem trivial, but you’d be surprised how often it can mess things up if you’re not aware of it,
Super these are as other than the amount of settings mine welds every good as my EWM tetrix . Wired pedal is better though when I tested them when it first came out
@@Urchfab yeah with wireless its just a variable pedal where as like the older sets the wired one you can use it as a switch also so as you know this is better with stainless. 33 percent is the ballpark I found on balance with these things . Great vids bud 👍
They sure have, very high tech for the money. I adjusted the hot start on the revolution like you said. Crisp arc starts on ally now! Nice feature to have. This one has a nice start, but it starts on 20amps AC.
Nice review! I've had one for about 6 months, and used it A LOT! I've done lots of production work (mig & tig) with mine, as well as portable work and it's great.
