spottedog Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 As gently and politely as possible I must point out your welding is atrocious (as seen in your oics) It appears you are using a mig that is too small for the job, and/or one of the dc rectifier diodes in your machine has failed. Years ago when I bought my first mig welder I practiced on some scrap metal then welded up a cracked swing arm on my Yahaha XS 1100 (big,heavy, fast street bike) While testing the bike on a local expressway, the swingarm came apart during a mild turn at 60-70 mph, I went into the guard rail and ground off most of the skin on right leg along with part of my knee cap and three of my toes. After surgery I took a night class at city college in inert gas shielded welding. The bike was totaled, I was fubared for two months, a high price to pay. If your car comes apart on the highway and you kill somebody...........let's just say when you pick up that wand and strike that arc remember the responsibility that goes with operating that tool. 1 Quote Link to comment

It was polite and helpful, if not wanted. The written word can be interpreted as critical when in fact it's meant to be helpful. Helps to have a thick skin when on the internet. Taking your post down.... what does that say? It's everyone's responsibility to look out for others safety. If not yours then everyone else on the road. You wouldn't believe the welding and poor engineering that's out there. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Sometimes a person is his own biggest critic. Other times, perhaps through excessive coddling or self-esteem bolstering, a person cannot accept criticism no matter how constructive. The latter types will rarely find comfort on a forum filled with real world people. 3 Quote Link to comment
