    Thanks for the video -- those rods are nifty! I like how they can heat up thick steel for a bend! By the way (you probably know this), you don't need acetylene for regular torch welding and cutting! Very inexpensive and easy to get torch tips are available to use propane - yep, grill gas bottles - instead of expensive and inconvenient acetylene. I switched to propane and oxygen a few years ago and it does a VERY good job. It seems almost as hot for welding (and doesn't really matter for most cutting). Waaaay cheaper, too. Just search for oxy-propane welding and cutting conversion tips to fit your torch. It is a 2-part sleeve thingie and about 10 bucks or so. Thanks again!

    • @JohnWheels
      @JohnWheels Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks so much for the info! I think I saw a guy have a propane tank on his oxy-fuel cart one time but I just assumed he refilled it with acetylene. That's really good to know - I'll be looking into that for sure! Thanks!

    • @AerialLensVideo
      @AerialLensVideo Před 3 měsíci

      @@JohnWheelsA few years ago when I first heard of propane-oxy, I was VERY skeptical. Being open minded (?) I gave it go because it was so cheap and, well, never went back to acetylene. As you know, it's the oxygen that does the cutting once you're hot anyway. For torch welding, the difference is hardly noticable. Of course, I use stick, MIG and TIG for that stuff anyway. Good luck and thanks again for your video! PS: Please make a video if you find p-oxy is a good thing (It IS). I will definitely tune in.

  • @deepdimdip
    @deepdimdip Před 4 měsíci

    You can run these rods perfectly with a DC welder (preferably a modern inverter type) using only one rod and a direct arc. Just like in welding a metal part you're heating must be connected to the ground clamp and the welding machine must be set to DCEN polarity. This is much more efficient than an indirect arc between two carbon rods. An indirect arc is only for non-metals and for materials where a direct arc is too damaging to a workpiece.

    • @JohnWheels
      @JohnWheels Před 3 měsíci

      Interesting - I feel like it would make a localized molten puddle like a tig torch which would then oxidize and also leave carbon deposits. I guess I'll just have to give it a try. Thanks for the comment!

    • @deepdimdip
      @deepdimdip Před 3 měsíci

      @@JohnWheels Well, both oxidation and carbon deposition indeed does take place to some extent, but on DC a carbon arc can burn pretty stable even at low current, so you can do different things with it by running it at various currents and arc lengths. A current limit you set on a welder basically defines maximum arc length at which a carbon arc can burn stable, at the same time it defines maximum energy/heat influx. So, at a certain current settings you can either melt and cut material with short arc or gently preheat it with long arc. A little downside to using a direct arc is that the arc tends to land where it feels lower resistance and thus by avoiding non-conductive surface impurities it tries to concentrate current to these conductive spots and then it can overheat and melt them a bit, so it is not applicable to finished surfaces. On a positive side, it is such a powerful and relatively precise and safe acetylene torch replacement I have no words to describe how useful it is, like a TIG that can run continuously without a shielding gas.

      If you haven't already, Make sure that that is 14.4 V under full load - have the filters on and the hose and helmet hooked up. If it shows 14.4 V under no-load, the voltage will drop a little when the load is applied. If that doesn't work, maybe try 14.5V or maybe your DRO is bad on the board and you can test the voltage with a multimeter. Lmk if that works

Ik I've had my own comments on other channels not show up when I leave a link. Anyway, I tried your link and it says unavailable. I believe these Adflo units had 2 voltages offered: 14.4 and 12.8. Id try both and see what happens. If it doesn't maybe try bumping it up a couple extra tenths of a volt because the DRO on the board my not be fully accurate

    Very good and informative video. I have the 9100fx and g5-01 and personally prefer how secure the 9100fx stays on compared to the g5. Not a big deal if you’re working in a shop but is extremely aggravating working 10 hour days and have to constantly move and fit into tough spaces. It’s a great idea using dewalt batteries instead of the overpriced 3m batteries and will someday implement it into my blower. Easier and cheaper to buy and charge multiple batteries and use with my other tools. I’ve rebuilt a couple of my 3m batteries but if my chargers start to die on me I’m doing the switch. I use to use the quick release half face but over time has left a dark spot and even widened the pores on the bridge of my nose and even occasionally cause pain from tenderness. Never go back to that again. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
