My first time using a Hossfeld bender was in 1971. I've bent a piece or two. Have two of them in my garage...

thank you Chris.....wish I cold be in your class.... the one thing you did not mention, is the mark on the die showing where to line up the material.... I just had to but a 166 degree bend in 1 inch 14 gauge, and use a 20 foot stick,,,,,having that 10 feet out of both ends was fun to control for one guy....haha.... unfortunately, the Hossfeld without the L long frame will not go past about 110 degrees......so we had to go to manual from hydraulic after getting to 110 degree.... but after bolting the machine down, we got it done.... we cold have done in one bend, after my cohort showed up to work, we had the Armstrong power to do manual ... I am 71 years old and did not want to kill myself, as I had done some short bends on our manual bender...... best wishes from an old guy in Florida, Paul Brown

Hey how can I set up my miller xmt 350 mpa to do aluminum tig

I just bought my first bender, it’s a hossfeild as well! I love your video! So thankfull too own this peace of equipment!

Thanks for this one.

Really good advice Chris, learned allot. can you make a custom stamp with like your written initials?

Don't gouge with inverters it messes the arc up on em they will still work but not that well transformers are way better

Haven't done arc air for years and years now, but I regard it the most effective process in weld removal or prep work on plating for welding processes. The use of abrasive disks in the above is just my worst procedure . Is it that carbon arc has become a forgotten application in today's industry? Great video there - Thanks. It takes me right back there to those years -"On the Bench"

Don't use ac current. Use DC current

Chris, you need to do more videos, these are great.....thanks Chris.....cheers from Florida, Paul

Wellsaw is my favorite saw.....keep those Kalamazoos.....nah, they work well too, I wish I had a Wellsaw, getting by with my Ellis 1800 for the time being

my workplace requires all welders to know arc gouging i hate it so much even more then grinder

Is the setup for the 350 and 350p the same?

Moving the carbon too slow and the wrong direction

I've had my 350P for about 10 years & am really an occasional user. My 'grade school! welding education was learned on an old Lincoln gas engine and later an Airco DipPak 250. All was well until I took on [or tried] aluminum welding of our neighborhood irrigation works that I hit the proverbial wall. Had a pretty good teacher in the group but I never got the hang of it. Then one day Miller Pulse makes its debut & made aluminum welding child's play [at least in my world]. About 4 days ago I had a *piece of cake* small welding job where I needed to weld some washers on a 1/2" axle. Fired up my 350P for this all steel 10 minute job. For days later and I'm still struggling with it. The last time I used the machine [4 months ago] it was to weld some hooks on the loader bucket. All steel work that went off without a hitch. Now all the damn thing will do is deposit a single bead and quit. Wait a few seconds and get another bead. Like a breaker was tripping & resetting. Was going to take it in for repair on Monday but decided to listen to Chris' video again. This time I was paying more attention to the Timers segment when he mentioned the Spot timer. Didn't know it existed but it sure sounded like it could be my problem. Crossed my fingers & headed for the shop. Sure enuf, the Spot was set on its shortest time, reset it to 0 & you can guess the rest. Thanks Chris, you made my day!.

Do the numbers mean anything (like millimeters of top roller travel) or are they just a relative indication of position? Also, I’d love to see a program run - do the increments of travel automatically increase each time you change direction?

Thanks Chris. Breaking in a new 350p tomorrow morning, so this will come in handy!

My machine is a manual one not hydraulic but I'm pleased with it I have dies up to 1 and a half inch for round does a really good job on flat bar on Edge 2 the days are very expensive very very expensive and they're not and they are pretty labour intensive to make 2 so you're better off buying the sections at a massive price

Sir am trying to understand the settings on the machine the digital setting any video on that thanks. A lot of videos of the machine actually bending the pipe but nothing on programing how you arrive with the numbers to enter and how to enter it.

ey man, how big was the air compressor you used for this?

I just learned that arc gouging was a thing this afternoon and damn, this makes a plasma cutter look bad.

I do agree that it looked great when you were gouging. No sticking at all! But good lord that's a lot of amps! I'm gonna tie a cv/ cc and a old Lincoln 250 dc together and let the sparks fly

I've gouged with 400 amps with a 1/4 round rod with no problems. 800 amp is a little high

not to bad. try about 30 more amps.

sir I want do gouging

umm, 3 phase? I believe that unit is also single phase..also you called out the gases on your wall as argon 1st, blended 2nd and C02 3rd. should you be connected to the 1st one?? I presume you are using this welder for Aluminum?

i have never done carbon arc gouging myself but when i was in the navy i spent six months working fire watch with shipyard workers and welders and such so i saw a lot of it. loud and lots of smoke

How does the cleanup compare to oxy/acetylene?

The subtitles are hilarious. And to think I only came here for the arcs...

Great vid man! Lots of good arc shots! Thanx for posting :)

What the psi you are using ?
