21. Re: MIG welding galvanized steel (score: 1): Author: "W. R. Gibbons" <gibbons@northpole.med.uvm.edu>; Date: Wed, 25 Dec 1996 08:17:04 -0500 (EST); I'm not aware of any way to do it without first removing the galvanizing. At least I know that MIG welding won't work. If you try gas welding it, the heat will cause the coating to come off. Remove t; /html/shop-talk/1996-12/msg00077.html (7,800 bytes)

One jaw sets a flange, another punches a 3/16 inch hole for plug welding. It works very well. Ray Gibbons Dept. of Molecular Physiology; /html/shop-talk/1996-11/msg00017.html (7,681 bytes)

Gibbons" <gibbons@northpole.med.uvm.edu>; Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 14:13:47 -0500 (EST); Dunno about the effect of a larger motor, but the way it runs sounds as if the previous owner might have tried to up the output by putting a smaller pulley on the compressor.

Gibbons" <gibbons@northpole.med.uvm.edu>; Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 10:14:00 -0400 (EDT); I'm not sure; in some of the cleaners I think it's NaOH (caustic soda, or sodium hydroxide). Whatever it is, many if not all of the cleaners will eat aluminum. Ray Gibbons Dept. of Molecular Physiolo; /html/shop-talk/1996-09/msg00031.html (7,656 bytes)

Heaven only knows what the others are. NaOH not only cleans baked on grease, but it eats aluminum and removes paint.

It doesn't make quite as much noise as a die grinder, especially if you keep the metal from vibrating, and; /html/shop-talk/1996-09/msg00046.html (8,849 bytes)

An apron isn't a bad idea, either. At 12K rpm, bits of wire get thrown off like little arrows.

I was attracted by a low price on a new Sears 5 HP compressor.

Few primers are really water proof. Rustoleum used to have a fish oil base, maybe still does. It sticks pretty well. I have seen a; /html/shop-talk/1996-06/msg00070.html (9,164 bytes)

I suppose you could put flux core wire through it, but I never have.
