The Last time we saw Kevin was this time last year and since then he's been a bit neglected UNTILL TODAY! After Al retired from RU-vid I retained custody of Kev and after a hectic start to the year i've finally built up enough motivation ( and money) to hook in and get Kev ready to race!
The 1997 VR commodore may not be everyone's cup of tea but with a 1200HP 2JZ backed by quality parts from companies all over the world this Black Beauty is going to be one hell of a car!

@@tturi2the machine I’m using is a unimig Viper180 from Supercheap Auto, it’s an awesome machine and still only uses a 10Amp plug so can use it at home, The multi165 is a bit cheaper and currently on sale at SCA too, can do Tig, Mig and stick.

@TheosEpicVideos 2 месяца назад

Cutting ally on a plasma cutter always produces more slag than mild steel in my experience. Having the water bed close to the back of the work piece also reduces slag. You can also spray anti-splatter welding spray to the back of the sheet. This can help reduce slag.

@theskidfactory 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the tips man!

@wobblysauce 2 месяца назад

Not just the slag, but a proper setup water bath catches a bunch of smoke mist that gets everywhere. With the turntable, you know the elecys they can easily slow it down more, you can even put in a dial so you can go whatever you want.

Hey woody, I know it’s a cheap turntable but try putting in a POT or potentiometer after the switch. Might be able to alter the speed that way

@rckc779 Месяц назад

With your plasma Woody just fiddle with volts & mm/min. Make sure your gas pressures are right, when it's cutting properly the drag lines in your cut should be vertical. Always get a few dags but normally it knocks off pretty easily. Nice work mate 😉👍

@timandrew4515 Месяц назад

Plasma CNC setup tip that I was told and worked for me: Run your plasma at full amps all the time. Control the cut quality with the speed of the CNC. mm/min. Thin material fast speed. Thick material slow speed. Plasma amps stay the same in either case. My settings: plasma 35amps. 1.6mm steel 1000mm/min. 6mm steel 600mm/min. The dross on the back knocks off with a tap of the part on concrete. Also, the water table is mostly for fumes, sparks supression is a side benefit. The fumes are hectic carcinogens - defo get a water table or VERY GOOD ventilation.

@jefferyholcombe5189 Месяц назад

You can fix the turntable by going to a 1 million ohm resistance potentiometer from maybe a 10,000 ohm resistance potentiometer that is in the pedal now, This would make finer adjustments to the speed in a sense. If the potentiometer goes into a transistor MOSFET for a gate of the power to the motor you could get a better transistor with lower voltage threshold "break through voltage that activates the gate of the transistor"

Plasma cutting is just like welding u need the correct tip size, travel speed, amps and air pressure to make it clean for the thicknes of metal u are cutting. Also a really good water separator not only on ur compressor outlet but on the back of the plasma cutter as well. Helps heaps

@kuakkacam 2 месяца назад

Woody, it might be worth putting a potentiometer on the turn table to allow it down. Your sparky brother could probably assist. It's pretty easy... Might get a bit more use out of it that way.
