Great video !!! Its awesome to see someone using propane and oxygen to cut most welding vidoes ive seen obviously use acetyling an oxygen . I work for a major RR and thats all we use is propane and we thermite weld with it so theres that as well .
Hey Charlie. Thanks for the comment. I really like using propane. I have converted a few people to it too. I just made a new video about cutting 1" plate with it. And look for my video called "Tailgate Talk #3" where I explain everything from tank to torch with using propane. Since you are experienced with it, let me know if I am leaving out anything, or something I can do better. Thanks for watching.
Oxy-Propane is great for cutting and heating. Look at my video about torches. I think it's one of the Tailgate Talks. #2 I think. Especially for a mobile welder. You can just put the propane tank on your back seat. If you run out, grab the tank off your grill. Haha
@AllStarWeldingSC you definitely are, sir! Keep up the videos, and I hope to build a business similar to yours in the future! Your advice and experience is much needed
Definitely a good video man, along with the commentary at the end wise words, sir apologize for delayed response slammed business is good. Looking forward to more of these keep them coming when you can, of course
I just ordered a Vulcan 195 today. My local HF had it for 1700.00 with a one year warranty out the door. I could have got it for 1400.00 but I purchased the 1 year warranty.
Another good one man! One suggestion ive got for an engine drive would be instead of the hobart 145, esab has the ruffian 150 for around the same price. Its a better welder and better engine than the hobart. The briggs motors they use on the hobart have gotten pretty cheap and i personally have had problems with it at only the 30 hr. Mark. Just trying to save someone else from the head ache 👍
Yes! I had forgotten about the Esab. Also, Klutch made o e identical to the Vulcan. Miller makes a 160 and a 180 I think. The Hobart isn't a bad option. Look up Melting Metal Anthony. He made a video about one he got from Amazon for $1000. He shows himself repairing a huge excavator bucket with it. For someone that wants to get started on a budget, that's the ticket
@scottfarrell1622 haha... they ha e already put their foot down on that and said absolutely not. Do you like the Klutch? Isn't it almost identical to the Outlaw? Did you see my video about the easy mod to the choke lever?
@@AllStarWeldingSC yes it is and when on sale its the same price as the outlaw. Its also the same design as the outlaw. My local harbor freight wouldn't order one for me so I went with the klutch. Infact the esab is the same design just less overall out put and an esab inverter. I saw your choke mod video but one difference is the klutch is pull start only so the choke lever is a Manuel style.
That's hard to say. Since I was making a video with this job, it took 4x as long as it should have. This could have easily been done in 2 hours, or even less. So at the most, 2 hours times your rate. The customer provided the new blade, so it was all labor. Torch cutting the bad part off was maybe 30 mins. I think it was around $300.
Well... one side has the fuel cut-off valve, the other side has the exhaust blowing out. I guess it could be moved over more towards the driver side. But since it weighs close to 400lbs with fuel, I wanted to keep it centered. I don't really carry much in the bed. So it still has plenty of room. I can still slide my oxygen tank down one side and strap it down.
