Thread: Welding issue for a newbie
12/08/2018 18:18:02
Hi everyone,
Well I've had a good look tonight at the internal parts of my mig welder and put some more pictures in my albums, I still can not see or make out the thermal switch???
I have removed the circuit board which controls the wire feed? The blown fuse looks like a 2amp one. Looking at the board the transformer which I've pictured on the board looks like it's arcing or burning inside? Looks very sooty would anyone be able to point me to where I might get a replacement or how to fix it
Many thanks

Hi,
I was making a 10ft by 4ft metal trellis welding 6mm bar. The welder settings was halfway as I always leave it on that and the weather wasn't extreme like it has been. I forgot to mention the gas still comes out the nozzle when you pull the trigger but I think this is a separate item. I think I've put a few pictures up in my album if I've done it right showing the inside of my
thank you for the help so

Hi,
Theirs no clicking sounds of a relay at all it like the welder is switched off but the cooling fan is running. I'll check all the connections tomorrow hopefully.
Sorry to ask a Silly question if the connections are corroded when I turn the welder off and leave it for a while and then turn it back on why does it work for a while?

Hi
I thought of that first but no it was clear the feed motor doesn't run when it stops. It's like the whole welder is turn off but the cooling fan is still running . The cooling fan normally runs when I turn the welder on which I think is normal?

Hi everyone, 

A bit off topic

While doing a job this week using my late dads mig welder 150 turbo. I could only manage about 6 or 8 tack welds before it stopped working, my father had no issues with . the fan was still running but the wire stopped feeding and striking up. Could this be a thermo cut out switch? It used to work very well last year but now it's frustrating to use.
If it is a thermo cut out switch where would it likey be situated in the welder? I've opened it up but can't see one. 
Any thought and help would be appreciated
Thank 
George

Hi beaker,
You have a raglan little John lathe which one do you have the mk1 or 2 or 5"??
I have a mk2 with the quick change gear box. Their is a forum for the raglan little John where you may be able to get parts and advise on your rebuild.

Thread: Milling vice
11/07/2018 15:41:13

Hi everyone

I'm looking for advice and help please, I'm new to milling having bought a Ajax 8 horizontal mill a few months ago. The only vice i have is far to big and i could do with a lower profile one. Any cutter i have over 3" of which I have only 2 is useless to me as I can not lower the table enough to get it under the larger vice and cutters. Would anyone advice where I could pick up a inexpensive but good vice please??

Many thanks

George

Hi everyone
I'm fairly new to milling, I've recently brought a Ajax Halifax small horizontal milling machine I'm restoring it to use. Would anyone be able to advise what sort of cutters would be best to buy for a beginner please size diameter etc? The mill came with 1 cutter 3mm wide and 4"diameter and very rusty,I'm looking to make T nuts and individual tool post holders for my raglan little John lathe to start with. I'm looking for any advise and help please.
Many thanks

Hi everyone I'm a newbie on here I have a question on motors. Having recently brought a Ajax Halifax aj8 horizontal milling machine with an old single phase motor on it I was wondering are the bearings are oiled or greased? Their looks like 2 spring loaded points to be oiled/greased front and back? The motor is old and has a slight resistance to being rotated freely but seems to run okay?
