Tearing down my JMSSAWS, one by one...

[SOS Ridgerider]

The 395 cases arrived today. They look real good!!
Thanks @Frank bierce
It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Glad they showed up safe and sound!! Barely made it to the post office in time. Lol. Luckily I had them in the work van with me, hoping for an opportunity to make it there.

Great point. I got rid of most or my pure tungsten.

You just use the collet with no cup?

They make some really skinny cups.

Hi Bill. Hope all is well.

I've got those. Bought to attempt to weld a chamber. Never got to it.

I gave away all of my pure. And I don't have adjustable waveform-sold my dynasty for this machine. Coulda turned up my EP% and balled the Lanthanated.

The sideways weld is something I didn't think about. Great idea. I've seen guys bend tungsten tips to weld in a tight spot before.

This metal was tinfoil thin. Like in the .005 range at the edges of the weld plug you see, and .001 at the center. I was pretty much ascared I was gonna make his ruined jug unusable if the arc jumped forward at all. Just a second in the wrong place and the metal under the plating would warp or flake.

We contemplated asking/shipping to Shawn, but we agreed in the end to make the attempt and toss the jug if it failed.

I don't tig aluminum that often anymore. I practiced on some .010 roof flashing to get some of my mojo back.

Used 1/16 filler wire and around 60 amps on the pedal. 2% lanthanated 1/16 tungsten.

I ain't got no idea what you're talking about, but I nodded along as I read it.

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Some inspiration. ...here is a 394 case I decked last night

Sondre, be sure to check out the crankshaft thoroughly in 395 or any of the saws he touched.... The crank in my saw had these weird indents/chips from him splitting the case incorrectly or who knows honestly...Both cranks were garbage in my 394 and 395. Threads were buggered up too on the cranks, sure the saw ran with that crank in it but that's not what I paid or expected in work quality.

 

[RI Chevy]

Is there anything on any saw he touched that wasn't gaffed or fubared?
Jeesh. WTF

Like I said in a previous post, I am really starting to think it was all intentional. You just can't screw that much up by accident.

Maybe because he is unable to log any more, no one else is going to either??? There is really something bad going on here. (I remember working for a Sheet Metal company, and equipment was going missing. They found it all in the garage of an employee who used to own his own company but went broke).

Not sure if drugs are involved or not, but I think this goes way beyond just drugs.

Looks like you did a great job and saved another messed up cylinder.

I've bent pure tungsten and I've chipped sides off of gas cups to weld sideways in a tight bore before. I learned to weld at an automotive machine shop welding cylinder heads, sometimes you'd have to chase a crack half way up an intake port. I bought and still use the Lincoln AC/DC Tig 300 sine wave machine I used there when the shop closed down, it rarely gets put on the Max amp setting anymore.

I use the a 3XXL or 4XXL cup and 1/8" pure tungsten to get down into chambers. Mostly to blend the weld into the chamber from welding up a spark plug hole but I have welded in a chamber to make it smaller before.

I normally use a gas lens and 1/6" 1% lanthanated.

Here is the blended spark plug hole and a little chamber fill of a 046 cylinder. It's really tough trying to add filler to the weld and not your electrode when down in a bore like this. I sometimes have to bend a little hook in the filler tip to reach the tight spots.

That's one problem with using a mandrel to cut squish bands. If it's non symmetric the cutter will want to take a deeper cut on the skinny side. A person could put a depth stop collar on the mandrel to combat this problem though.

Maybe it was a Full Moon when he was sanding the jug Kevin? Could explain the elliptical shapes. Lol

It's got a hemi

Very nice work bud.

I'll make sure to double check Mason. I didn't see anything like that when I took it apart, though.

He also advances the timing way too far on a worksaw. My 394 and 372 were rice crispy treats popping.

The only one of mine that was popping was the 5105. I'll take a look at that too.
