Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Well after a week in FL, time to get back in the shop.. I wasn't totally pleased with the .023 EZ grind, but in all fairness I think some of the issue is my welder. It never has been too keen on .023 wire, so looks like my BIL is going to get a new roll of wire for his Hobart.
Put the .035 ER70S-7 back in, dialed in the settings for 3/16 thick steel, and ran some test welds... ![]() Front side.... ![]() ![]() Rear side.... ![]() Comparing the EZ grind to the -7 shows less splatter... ![]() ![]() The roof cross member made part of the weld seam inaccessible, so it was removed on one end for planishing access... ![]() ![]() ![]() Welds ground down to just above panel surface... ![]() Our planishing implements this evening.... Low crown hammer and used the Pexto blocking hammer as a dolly... ![]() ![]() ![]() This shows the weld dots planished.... ![]() ![]() Full penetration welds..... ![]() Weld, planish, grind, repeat. ![]() We're about halfway done, hope to finish it up tomorrow... ![]()
