Another chainsaw dyno...
- Thread starter Red97
- Start date
Maybe after new years...
I've got about 6k+ lbs worth of wire to put into this frame starting next month...
Figure it will be 2021 before messing with the dyno much more...

I'm not even going to take a guess. What the heck is that chunk of steel? Was it cut like that intentionally? You are a better man than I. About 4hr on the tig bench, prob 8hr on a mig and 30min on a stick is all about I can handle.

Yep, be sitting right in the middle for a good chunk of it.
Frame of a 3500 ton forge press. Looks like this all together.
Cutting the cracks/ old bolt holes out. Weld it solid while it is heated. Fix the cracks, fill the holes, and add 1.5" to the bed.

Red, did you carbon arc all that out?
They started with the carbon arc.....
We got them switched to the torch.
I would have went with the oxy lance route.

Looks fun Joe. We'll be into one, maybe both of my furnaces over Christmas. Luckily with the break the schedule should be drawn out with more time to cool. Hopefully my tits'll only cry for a shift or two.
For a little bit, looked like these projects were about done. Well a few more appeared. Time to saddle back up...
Going to look through the apartment handbook. See what is says about running engines all day in the garage? Apartment garage has plenty of room for the dyno....
Sent tech support a summary of the runs.
He seen something was a bit off, wanted me to try a different hose arrangement.
Was thinking the large hose was acting like a lever and changing the true readings.
Built an arm to support the hoses, and brought the 2 straight out, and the 3rd as short as I could. Should have almost zero influence on the reading now.
That is why I have been including a "baseline" run that matches the old system with most all of these new tests. I'm not ready to claim the hp number is accurate just yet.
Really hoping I can keep the numbers in the ball park.
