Default Stainless welding - Oxy / Acetylene

Had another play with the Henrob torch yesterday having had it tucked in the shed for a while. Have some leave coming up soon so I thought I'd blow the bugs out ready for another push on the cobra build.

This time I thought I would try stainless steel welding, as the video says its a piece of cake. I am usually fairly sceptical when the video guy that has 20 years welding experience says it's easy, but, it wasn't too bad at all.



Basically once you have the flame set right, you just walk the weld pool along with no actual difference to mild steel.



They aren't the most beautiful looking welds but the penetration is good.

Anyways, back into it, thought there might be some interest. I'll post some more when I have a decent crack at the aluminium welding with the torch. I imagine that will be the tough one.

Cheers
Hogster
