An sa 200 is 2 copper wound dc generators, one powers the other, and they both put out a constant dc arc. A long time ago they used an ac motor to spin a dc generator, this is the r2d2 machines and the old sae shop machines. That obviously eats electricity like no other, so they then went to the...

If you did that you wouldn't fight stick welding nearly as much! Remember a new machine comparable to an sa 200 is over 25k now, and will weld dramatically better than an inverter of any make. One product is made to meet a price point, the other is made to weld xray pipe all day everyday for...

I run 125 foot of 2/0 ultraflex on each, and a 25 foot whip made of 1 ga i think. A bit long, but that way i won't feel bad about trimming them back so they'll last and my machine can push enough to get away with it. They require 100 foot min when you pipeline, but the less lead you use the...

@WoodCutr i have several machines but this is by far my favorite, 1972 Lincoln sa 200, all copper wound, freshly rebuilt with staggered brushes. It's what i use when i weld pipeline, not to shabby for a 500 buck junkyard find!

You aren't relying on the whipping, the splice still takes the load and the seizing just holds it in place. It's exactly how they made rope stropped blocks and rigging deadeyes were rigged in the age of sail, and it all still works the same today. They would use a grommet (rope spliced in an...

You can also splice it loose and then do a seizing/whipping to get it tight in the eye. I think that's of the many tricks in Brian Toss rigging apprentice, but i think it's far older practice to make it easier to replace or repair the various components, you simply cut the whipping, replace the...

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.......... contrails. :lol:

The first giant spider sighting i would be gone :lol:

I'm gonna have to make some now lol, never thought of that!

Good to read you again Tim, welcome back. I do have an actual stien arbor trolley, and despite having everything to build one from scratch i bought it. It is perfectly designed, and anything i would have built would have been inferior. I've owned it for years now, and since i lack a mini or...

Found it, looks like a strugglefest but far better than by hand I'm sure. I'll have to try it out with mine, maybe the higher winch point might help keep the front up. I'm hoping to be pulling much bigger pieces out, but sometimes it's just tons of smaller stuff that a trolley setup is king...

Are you saying you winch an arbor trolley? How's that work? I would think the nose would dig in, no?

My latest orders have been to west tech rigging and us cargo control, both of which were excellent. I've been thinking of doing a maple leaf ropes order, anyone try them yet? Was thinking on a bunch of their double braid for some projects, maybe some super heavy rigging rope (bigger than my 5/8...

Notch made the rrp....

I'm still running one too, simple and effective. Thing will probably outlive me.
