Thank you for this demonstration. It’s very timely for me personally. In my arc welding class, we are starting practice to pass a bend test. We take 2 larger beveled pieces with a backing strip and we need to tack them together, leaving a 1/4” space. Well, the first one I did came out great. The second one freaking moved! I forgot to tack the opposite ends so it wouldn’t do that! I had to work to get it apart to fix it but I did. This is the perfect demonstration of what’s happening and it helps so much to have the visual component that you provided. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to next weeks video!
I love stick welding too! It’s my favorite process (and I’m doing/learning them all in school). I’m excited to say I’m making my fabrication table this week and following your template instructions. You made it easy to understand so I wanted to thank you for that. Fingers crossed that I do a good job.
The tension in steel is pretty wicked compared to precious metals. 38yrs as a bench jeweler, and im still learning about metals reacting to heat. As an amatuer welder, this helps a lot! This was a great presentation! Thanks Brandon!
Great Demonstration with the dial indicator I never even thought to use my indicators for this but wow at how much it shows even though the part is perfectly straight its way off according to the indicator good Video @Brandon Lund
Outstanding. I have never seen a gauge use in a distortion demonstration. This is an excellent way to see what is happening in real time. This video should be use at every welding school.
Brandon I see a lot of people having similar problems with warp on sheet metal as well as iron projects. The big thing that I see is they don't practice on scrap before they get into the actual project. I will post this on my Facebook. Good job thanks.
Brandon, I saw something similar that someone had done like you did with a dial indicator with a lazer pointer and a target on the wall. It amazed me how much it wandered, and what it took to bring it back into tolerances. It made me appreciate using both jigs and fixtures. I worked in a welding shop many years ago that made assemblies for an over the road truck company, and that shop also made storm sewer inlet grates for New York City, and even for something that mundane, having the right setup helped keep them from rocking when installed.
Great video, Brandon! I am always fighting the warp, and it helped when I started using my welding layout table and clamping. However, as you stated, that still didn't get rid of all of the warp, so trying this should help alot! As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience with us! I love this channel!!!!!!😁👍🏻💪⚒
Ok, you have done it again!!! Great infirmation that can be used by a novice or experienced hand at welding. You always have great information. I welded a 1/4" X 1" X 6" support leg to my wheel hub to support my bike stand and I did tack on both sides then did short welds on both sides and then when I welded the final pass the piece pulled up 1/4"!!! Put it in the vice and bent it back but the thing just pulled up and I don't think anything would have prevented that. This was such good information!!! Thanks, Brandon!!!
I'm nearly finished with my welding cart. I recently relocated, and that put the cart on the back burner, but I'll be getting it done soon. I'll bring you up to speed on FB when I get that far.
THANK YOU MR. LUND , this was interesting video on how you used a Dial indicator to show how much a piece of metal moves when Welded , I have seen other videos but they only say how it tends to move when welded .
@@BrandonLund Your videos have been very helpful as I learn to weld (I’m a 70 year old woodworker) I’m also really enjoying your accent😉. I went to high school and college in New England, my college girlfriend lived in Portland. Thanks again
A good jig helps as well when tacking or welding, we had a 20 foot parts carriage, ended up being within 3/64 of an inch after welding it. Again knowing where to pull it around and we had some parts that were quite with the gap, The company from China was quite impressed.
Fantastic video. I started building a metal sheet bender from angle iron. When welding on the backing strips it then ended up bowed. I've bent it back straightish but that project hurt my feelings so I still haven't finished it 😆
@Matthias Lange each graduation is one thousandths of an inch (.001) There are 100 graduations per rotation (.01) or 10 rotations per inch (.1) This is a 0-1" stoke guage.
