I love this, seeing a dude with barely any tools work on a chair lmao. this is what we wanna see. Not that fancy shit with a dude that uses a 50K welding rig and an entire shop
10 years of using angle grinders and never had an issue. Then 1 disk exploded and barely missed my cheek while I was wearing key ‘safety squints’. I now use a guard and face shield! Ain’t no joke.
Guards are there for a reason..use them 20+ years in the trade I seen so many wheels blowing up and cut through shoulders,arms,face..your young think smart
I use 14”-1/8” cop saw wheels on my 9” Milwaukee angle grinder all the time. Have had a couple detonate on me. If you have all the proper PPE the worst you’ll get is a red mark from the impact.
I love how you show that you don't need any special tools (work bench, band saw, fancy welder) to fab up your own material. Hell yeah bro! Thanks for these informative vids!
Buy an Evolution Metal Saw. For beginners using an angle grinder is fine, but you'll never regret buying a saw. Always clean cuts, and when welding a clean cut could make or break the project. Love the diy enthusiasm pimpin'.
Take a sanding bit on a Dremel or a carbide bit on the drill and just clean the inside man, it looks awesome still! We all start somewhere and the best way to learn is to dive in. Can’t wait to see it all together 💪
Miller, and ck are definitely the best if you have the cash Miller is what I had in college and ck is one of the best tigs I've used, at work I use Lincoln and they are alright
I agree it’s hard flux core welding thin metal. For the money buy a everlast welder over the Eastwood . The everlast for the money will have more adjustments. I tested a few econo welders and everlast the way to go.
I'm probably not the first to say a mid pie cut has the angle on both sides, easy way to calculate is to divide the full bend angle with the amount of pie cuts you want and divide again by 2= what each side should be. This is a real easy way to start with pie cut tube bends, keep doing what you do...
You probably hear this a lot but I would definitely throw that guard back on your grinder. I work for a shop that does industrial fab for ag, nuclear and food, mainly stainless and they buy the high end cutting disks and you’d be surprised at how much damage those can do when the explode. My co-worker is in his sixties and is missing half of is left index finger because he took his guard off and one exploded and severed it before he even knew what happened. Good job using the face shield though. I’ve had two cubitron explode in my face
I know I’m late but absolutely. If the pipe is coming straight out of the turbo and only has maybe a foot or two of straight pipe, it’s much louder than a longer straight pipe since the longer the pipe is, the more energy it loses as it travels. The sound coming out of the pipe at the tail will have a big energy difference between the turbo and the tip of the exhaust at the back. On the other hand a much shorter exhaust will be much louder. I’m going to use a hood exit exhaust as a reference instead of a down pointing exhaust becuase that’s what I’m more acquainted with. On my car, I’m building a hood exit with a 3” turbo exit exhaust followed by a 4”expansion with about a foot of 4” stainless steel pipe, followed by a few pi cuts and about 6 inches of 4” pipe pointing up and out. With a hood exit exhaust like this, the exhaust doesn’t have much time to lose energy at all because there’s relatively no restriction on the force of the exhaust. That combined with a large diameter pipe that expands to an even larger diameter allows the sound to amplify and make it easier for the gasses to escape the turbo, decreasing the resistance that’s fighting the turbo, allowing it to spool even better. And it’s so much louder. Teehee
Primeweld TIG 225 check out the fabrication series it's the best for your buck and it's under $800. Tig and stick, you can get a spool gun attachment run gas with flux core it's called dual shielding
Hey man it's probably better to use a sawsaw for clean cuts and you dont have to worry about filling in the gaps with the welder. It should be flush in-between all the pie cuts
Don’t be so hard on yourself what you’re doing is very difficult. You can’t learn if you don’t fuck up. Also you’re way ahead of the game if you’re aware of your performance and set your standards high.
Definitely a good video even though the result wasn't any good. It is a good look into what to avoid when people are getting into fabrication. I think a lot of people expect building exhausts and parts to be much easier than it is. I don't think very many people realize the kind of money we put out in order to have the proper tools we need to fabricate the things we make.
Turned off as soon as I noticed guard removed from grinder. Why do people remove the guard? Do you really think you’re getting better cutting from the tool? Ffs. Use the tool how it was designed
Pablo please, dont get the eastwood tig 200. Yes it is the cheaper alternative, but for a little more money, get the AHP alphatig 200x, you will never ever need to buy another welder once you buy one. i made the mistake of buying the eastwood, then i grew out of it and found myself looking for a a welder that had a few more options and performed with some of the high end welders. i wish i never wouldve bought the eastwood, because for another 200$ i couldve bought the alphatig and that was 5 years ago. they are even more updated now, and keep up with the welders in the 1500$ to 2000$ range. Trust me papi, you absolutely will be in love with it. do some research on it, its ratings are amazing.
G-Clamp holding tube, no guard on the grinder. If that pipe gave way to grab the cutting wheel you'd be changing your undies 😂Invest in a chop saw. Stay away from Eastwood products, go for AHP
@@joellofquist2537 That's the issue with budget welders, you think to yourself i'll buy the lower end of the scale but then come to realise they just suck. There's some lower end welders (Chinese/Taiwanese) that have infinite wire feed speed adjustment and Voltage but the internals just suck. At least with a well established company you have good customer support or parts. ESAB are another good company
I do a lot of research on reviews and opinions of the products I purchase I was really interested in the Eastwood at first people said it’s good for light material only from what I can remember there was a green tig welder can’t remember the name but it was comparable to the ahp and Eastwood side by side they all where pretty similar but I think the ahp was a better choice of the three personally. I don’t think the east wood can weld aluminum and that was one of the deciding factors for me
@@joellofquist2537 Sure is many comparable products, i see Eastwood as a rebranded company. It may not be the case, it's just their products (electrical) look and feel nasty and cheap. They're not set in a certain product line, AHP-Welding, Milwaukee Handheld power tools, etc. As they saying goes, stick to what you know.
Dinxsy mmmm Milwaukee... I was a dewalt guy but I’ve been looking into Milwaukee and what they offer and I’m pretty sold on there products I use them at work for all metal work we burn them up occasionally but they can go through a lot more than dewalt in my opinion ... I guess we live and learn... the hard way
“Normally you want to measure angles, but we’re just going to send it…” I am clearly in the right place.
Papi

Please use guards!! Fingers and eyes don't grow back so quick lol

I now use a guard and face shield! Ain’t no joke.
But they grow back
Got it

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
We all gonna start somewhere.

I'm 72 and I love your ambition and passion. 20 years from now if I'm still around you'll still be young. 😂

Be proud of that shit bro!!! You made that!! You took the time an effort to make it!!!
Dope video bro. Can’t wait to see you progress in future. I want to learn myself
i loved this video i literally have the same equipment as you too cant wait to make a downpipe
You could’ve used the cutting wheel to get it completely flat. The pipe is big enough to fit over grinding wheel nut, that’s how I did my exhaust
Use a porting bit to clean the buger weld on the baby tear drop
Everlast welders are where it’s at. There great machines for the price and they have a 5 year warranty most others are only 3
Miller, and ck are definitely the best if you have the cash Miller is what I had in college and ck is one of the best tigs I've used, at work I use Lincoln and they are alright
Had my everlast multiprocess for 4 years and love it. If you need a plasma buy a hypertherm.
Friend, as long as it does the job,and you can cover it up ..... .......; at least you are giving us a chance to try it too.
Awesome hint. Thank you very much!
What size flux core wire are you using
Bro Practice makes perfection ur good is better then never trying
Yes! the fab life starts I'll be joining soon also
Researching methods to begin the turbo manifold for my 93 Fireblade, probably going to use this for the bends
I have that same work bench,, get er dun. I like to see ppl making things, there is so much we can do now.
U big boy great job appreciate the update and the way you explain things . I learn from you keep going.🇩🇰👍👌
Are you running electrode negative?
if you want to still be able to hear when you turn 50 make sure to wear your hearing protection.
You did great bro

Yeah, it's a little warm.. drop it like it's 🔥 😂
does a exhaust pipe that point down sounds louder than one that points to the back of a car??

Does this pass mechanical?
all that work is learning time you only get better!

Disregard the hate an keep on creating brother 🍺
Hell yeah
How did you find the 15 degree angle with the tape?
Just get a protractor if u want it precise
Got that corona
A razor knife will take off the long bures, then file smooth, then angle the edge of what you are welding so the fusion is better.
Keep learning learn because we learn from the mistake 😅
It's better than my weld.
Leave it to SPtuning to make hard stuff easy!
I love it cause I did it! that makes it better...
It will work and yea those welders do suck for splatter. never gonna learn how to if you never try. keep it up!
Just use small dremel bits and sand down the outside and inside and itll look good
Great Gordon Ramsay impression. xD
Someone finally made a tool for pie cutting check them out vpg pie cut temple no measuring no guessing for angles.
Chamfer the edges of the pipe so the weld will sit in a groove just a tip
Live ya learn
Hey man it's probably better to use a sawsaw for clean cuts and you dont have to worry about filling in the gaps with the welder. It should be flush in-between all the pie cuts
You mean a Sawzall, also known asa recipricating saw? Firstly they are much messier, secondly they are going to wear out faster than a cutting wheel
This gives me some confidence in doing this as I to only have the basic tools minus the garage thanks for making this video
Poorman chop saw. skill saw with cutting disc
I was going to say the exact same thing, makes cutting angles easy and keeps the lines straight
Dang flux core welders :/
Fluxcore isn't bad the budget ones aren't the worst but you can weld some pretty heavy duty with fluxcore
Use a miter saw with a metal cutting blade
Yo dont know much about welders/welding but Eastwood products are fucking legit in my experience
Omg u should buy a wise. And use guards!
A chop saw set to the angle has a better cut.
Get a rebal tig. Never look back.

The prime weld is a good one too

Dinxsy I was picking between the budget tig welders and went ahp seems to weld fine with arc haven’t tried tig yet due to no gas but does a good job

#SPBOIZ #PiecutItPapi
Wear your gloves at.
First yheaaaa
Send it papi
The minute I saw an angle grinder without a blade cover I instantly clicked thumbs down. :( C'mon guys, don't teach bad practice.
Sorry, had to leave... couldn't handle the music.
welding skill is poor
