  • Those welds are beautiful! May I ask what filler / -dia. you're using?
    Also I´d be super interested in the sequence of welding a frame. if U`re willing to share

  • Thanks!
    These are 312 stainless filler, that's why they are so colourful. At least more colourful than a not stainless filler like er70s-6/2 etc. I do most of it with 1mm filler, then areas with lots of fill, i.e between st/dt or the underside of the ht-dt joint, ill do with 1.6mm filler. I find this helpful for areas like that, where im more likely to need it. and otherwise would be stuffing in a lot of 1mm filler.

    At the moment i dont have a very specific sequence, but i do all the "tops" first. So I do as many parts that i can that are perpendicular to the central plane of the frame.

    I find this fixes everything in place a bit, so that when you then start to weld the sides, it doesn't pull as much. However i do try to weld quite a bit in the jig as well because obviously the first welds pull it around as well.
