tig welder

Hi has anyone done any tig welding on Aircraftor glider repairs .ie cromemolly welding ......Regards john

Those are one of the best welders ever made. I've had two of them over the years. One was called the "AirCrafter" I guess because it had a foot control for the voltage. It was the best DC tig machine. For stick it was only superb or better.
If I had 3 phase I'd have one now.

There are different models of those machines. Mine is a SAE 200J. You will need the code number off of the machine. Its located between the voltage and amperage controls at the top of the plate. With that number you can find the manual. If you got the code number IM me with it and I can get you the link to the manual. They were called all kinds of names, fire hydrant or plug welders, coffee grinders,and so on. I call mine R2D2 from Starwars.

Steve
P.S. Post a pic of it if you got one, thanks

They had welders like those at the school I went to. There have been a number of those kinds of designs over the years where an electric motor drives a generator. Dynamotor is what I believe they call that basic design. I've seen 12v dc motors running 120 v ac 60 hz alternators in field equipment, single phase motors on electric trains running 3 phase generators to power 3 phase dirve motors to increase torque, dc motors powered off huge banks of wet cells to provide backup power to run dc motors that drive generators that generate the old approx 90 volt ringer voltage on the phone system and the electric motor driven welding generators we are discussing here. There's all sorts of interesting contraptions used in industry over the years.

I got one of these machines and its a sweet azz machine. you can forgive the noise it makes for the weld you can make with it. Mine has the outlet for the Lintrol, which I wish I had but dont. You can still get a manual for these machines off of the Lincoln website or you use to be able to.

Odd lincoln welder

I remember 65 years ago the blacksmith in my home town had one. It was electric motor powered.

I know this won't help much, but we had two rows of these in the stick welding room at my vocational school back in 1980-81. Got me a cert using one of these. It ran the 7018 pretty good. Then, I joined the AF and didn't get to wield my mad skills. I haven't seen a machine like that since I left the votech.

Lincoln welder

I bought one of these welders a while back for twenty bucks to use as a tig machine. Not having three phase in the shop,i converted it to engine driven since the generator is self exiting and use the existing motor as a big flywheel. It is kind of and antique but runs a really smooth arc in stick and makes a good little tig though the controls are a bit touchy (could be due to age/dirt). I know this was a lot of work to convert and old welder,but i did it to prove to the other so called welders that work for us that there is something else out there other than a point and squirt (mig)
