Donal Harris Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Started with 2.5” x 3/4” bar stock. A36. It is hard to tell from the photos, but I notched two 6” pieces of the bar stock. The four short pieces that look like 3/4” square are actually just strips I cut from a scrap piece. I couldn’t find any actual 3/4” square stock. The cut side will face away from the die, leaving a smooth side facing the die. In one of the pictures I have the parts all stacked together as they will be when finished. The 1/4” plate that fits over the die at the top and bottom are not shown. I haven’t cut those yet. I still have the base to cut as well as the hardy shank. My question is how do I weld all this together without binding? Any help will be appreciated. i forget where I found the design.

Steven NY Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Wrap the dies in a single sheet of paper, then clamp everything the way you want it and weld away. The paper will give you the clearance you need to remove the dies after welding. hope this helps, W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
