Wonderful! Ive made few removable half-cages. Its some serious job to get everything nice. What tools did you use for getting the best cut for connections?
Thoughts on these practice passes
Made these last Friday, #16 cup, 35CFH, 60 amps, 3/32 thoriated tungsten. 1/16 308 stainless plate, 1/16 308l filler. I’ve been tring to control my penetration on thin materials. I know the passes aren’t perfect and I’m welding on plate not a joint so it isn’t best case scenario. The pass on the other side wasn’t made by me, just used scrap steel others used to practice. My favourite is the one in the middle.

These are my welds in school. First picture is maybe third time holding a TIG torch. First times i wasnt welding, i was building my tungsten sharpening skills. 😄

@Vincent Tremblay Yes. As my teacher said: At first you will become good tungsten sharpener, and only after that, will become a welder. 😄
R33 GTR Manifold 🏎️
Got to start welding on the manifold but I have to send it to the customer to test fit since there are a few things we are afraid will be tight. This delays the video by a week or so but better safe than sorry! 2” SCH 10 321 stainless 100 amps on the machine using pedal 3/16 knife edge bevels 1/16 347 filler rod 18 seconds post flow no pulse 1/16 2% lanthanated tungsten #19 furick cup @40 cfh

You have amazingly steady hand. 💪🔥 Also welds start-stop points are wonderful! 👍 And about test fitting - oh yeah! I suggest everyone not to rush their process. Everyone will be happier for slower process than for some problems which definitely will take longer and more expensive to fix. 👌

@Grant Pratt Yes. This reminds me my native saying. Translation could be “I wanted it to turn out as the best, but it turned out as usual” 😄 Especially with re-doing. It will never be as wanted.
R33 GTR Manifold Progress
Making good progress on the 1000 HP R33 GTR Turbo Manifold. This thing is getting maximum effort towards perfection. Spent 6 hrs on one runner to get it right. Around 30 hrs in total so far into it. Youtube video coming soon to teach you how to build manifolds like this!

@Grant Pratt My question was about why did you prefer to make it like this, which is also fully functionable, but not with inner thread so you can attach threaded diffuser. In short - my idea would be that with diffuser i would need less argon for max gas coverage inside runners. I believe that with diffuser, gas is spreading more evenly, so it pushes out air more efficient.

@Carlos Molina Yes it is. Im not so informed about them to recognise between M50 and M52, but i believe you are right. 😄👍
3-D Printed Turbo Manifold Tool Files
I have added a free course to the classroom tab with the files for the 3d printed tools. They are not all there yet but I will be adding the rest as well as all of my 3d printed tools that I come up with over time.

@Grant Pratt Nope. I had them really big, but it’s no worries, just need to resize them. Also with resizing they could be set to any size needed when pipe diameter changes. 👌

@Grant Pratt Thank you. Will keep in mind to double-check. 👌
