Arc welding for fabricators (8/24)

7010’s? that’s a new one for me. what size are everything??

It’s an interesting idea (the dorm fridge). These aren’t sealed, and I wouldn’t use them for code-welding, but they’ll probably be alright for the kind of stuff that goes on around DMS.

7010 is usually used for piping, but i imagine there are other use cases as well. Most of the sizes looked like 1/8 to me, might have been some 3/32 in there as well.

I agree with you on the rod box, Just out of curiosity are the 7010’s red?? I never met a pipe liner that lean forward to spit on a rod that was not a red 6010, interesting bunch that.

I’m just excited we are getting arc welding at the space!
I took it in college a long while back, so I didn’t know if I needed to be checked out on it or not.
Do we need to take the hot process class first to use the machines? In other words, is this a required class to use the arc welders?

Yes. You need the Hot Process Safety to work with any of the hot machines in the Metal Shop. That’s the welders and the Dynatorch.

I had a great time with the first AWFF class and I think this one will be even better. Wondering I am, what is the best time and day for the world to join me for this adventure. As I am retired it is pretty easy to arrange my schedule. I will be increasing the number of participants to at least 6 this time. Lets me hear from some of you, especially if your interested in attending.
