Not everyone needs or can justify buying a Welding Positioner. This video might give you some simple ideas of making something that could do the job just as well.
put a rod thru it all the way to the floor connected to a wheel you can move with your foot. Just drill a hole thru your table no need for a vise. the lower the wheel the easier for you hand and arm resting on the table instead of up in the air, you are doing it all wrong and giving bad advice. I used old brake rotors and a piece of plumbing pipe to build mine. cost me around 50 bucks.
I'm always interested in other peoples input on the videos I post. But, I don't appreciate the part about "giving bad advice" ??? I never mentioned in this video that it was the Ultimate Poor Man's Welding Positioner 🙄 It was a part that I was working at that time and thought it might be a useful video to help others think of ways to mount a part for Welding. This video is 1 of a few I have posted on this topic. But, IF your idea is so good ??? Maybe you should post a video instead of complaining that I'm "doing it all wrong" ??? Your idea isn't something new ??? I used something fairly similar in a previous shop I had many years ago. But, I took it a little further and used a wire feeder motor to drive the shaft. Instead of coming in with your condemning thoughts ??? You could have just shared your idea for others to learn something from. Much like what I try to do when I use my time to share my ideas.
@@weldmachine this was exactly my intention in adding a comment: This was not at all directed to you but to the people watching the video, Most people who make videos are either paid or incompetent,There are exceptions of course. I never argue with them.
It's actually a customer part to be used as a puller. Fairly commonly used for removing Harmonic Balancer Pulleys. The customer builds high-performance engines for boats.👍
Great idea and it gets the job done. Does it tend to stick as the current flows, or do you attach the earth directly to the plate. Nice laser cut plates too 👍
Hey Aaron. Great to see you 😀 Generally the Earth is through the bench. I use a Copper stem as shown in the video which does help to keep the current consistent. IF you used Steel or something similar it might not be so nice 😔. Definitely a simple idea that works Very well for those guys who only need to Weld parts this way occasionally. Previous to the Automatic Welding Positioner i did use this method for all my rotational Welding. It takes a bit practice to get use to Welding this way though 🤔 Great weather for us guys in Melbourne this weekend. 🙄 Luckily i am working this weekend 😊 Thanks for taking the time to watch. Peter 👍
