    First Welder - Yes Welder???

    Surprisingly GMAW flat position has highest rate of failure on CWB test day. Might be easy and minimum skill to make a spark and pretty bead, but a lot more involved to avoid lack of fusion. I's not dirty.

    First Welder - Yes Welder???

    The igbt/inverter stuff is getting better, but you are definitely getting lower quality components with the cheap ones. Even red and blue were having trouble with boards etc in the early days. A buddy that repairs them said where the machine is used (heated shop versus in the field) can have a...

    Looking for lathe drive belt size

    @Susquatch Thanks that's a great offer. Unfortunately he's at the point where if ordered belts don't fit he will go with the pulley conversion and be done with it. With what's left of old belt he came up with ~590mm circumference. Sieg belt specs are 1.5x124tx15mm. The m1.5 series is 4.71 pitch...

    Looking for lathe drive belt size

    Motion Canada staff could do nothing without a part number. He left old belt there for a week so one of their senior belt guru's could try to find something but no luck. His day job was procuring this kind of thing. He dealt with and exhausted local resources with no success, as mentioned. I...

    Looking for lathe drive belt size

    Dug back into Sieg search and decode. Their AL 60 AL54B similarly sized made in Shanghai machines appear to have something close. M1.5 x 124Teeth by 15mm. Would be nice to find seller closer than China or Australia to compare it to. The search continues... P.S. can't wait to start posting...

    Looking for lathe drive belt size

    @Aarknoid Thanks I hadn't been to that site before. Plugged his info into all of them and didn't get any matches. Got excited when I saw T10, but didn't compute. Modulus 1.5 belts are closest match to his for tooth height and pitch but not exact. I'm not sure what his tooth angles are.
