Snow Day project...

Got around to combining the Hobart plasma and welder into one cart. All made from scrap I had lying around, except for the casters.

Paint will come this summer once I finalize additions/modifications after some use....

53 in Barre, VT. We lost a TON of snow, it's been a bad year. Looks like we may get some this weekend though...hell, we can pick up 3' in a week up here.

Nice, tell me about it Carl, gotta love this north country weather hahah...

Looks good. I'm in the process of making a welding/cutting table and a cart for my oxy-propane torch.

Rooks 01-26-2010 01:20 PM

Looks good for a scrap piece. I like it. With my anal retentive ways, I'd have to weld up all the corners and make it smooth all the way around, but it looks good and it definitely works.

Friend suggested a plug for both, so I wired in a 220 male plug that serves both the welder and plasma....any other ideas throw them out please!

Guts of a Hobart 625....
Attachment 121008

Originally wwnt with 10g for the plasma, but thought better as it came with 8g for the plug (though the manual says 10 for wiring). All mounted....
Attachment 121009

Wired up. 8g is a PITA to work with, but managed to stuff it into a box...
Attachment 121010

All hooked up...

pretty clean set up. looks great!

I lik the electrical, the taping of the wire nuts is a good idea.
I like the overall project all in one, nice.

My buddy who does 440v HVAC stuff turned me onto that....

anyway, b/c good is not "good enough"....updates.....

Got a suggestion to secure the tank better, here is the results. Used some eye bolts and shock absorber rubber stops. Also, rewired to a bigger box to make me feel better....
As always, I have a LONG time until painting season, so pass along all ideas....

Also upgrade my Oxy cart. Guy before me had larger tanks, so I modded to fit smaller tanks better....
