- Follow along as I make some routine repairs to a Rock drilling auger with a twist. Sometimes tough situations call for breaking out the Special tools. If you have never seen or used an Exothermic Slice Torch, well here is a small sampling. I cant wait to show you guys a more involved video using this tool in the future. Itll make you want to go out and buy one! Either way, today you'll see some hard surface weld application, tooth pocket replacement and the use of the slice torch to remove stuck and broken teeth in the auger adapters. I hope you enjoy it and are able to pick up a few pointers. Thanks for your support.

Brother I love your videos. I'm an old school welder. When I was 20, I worked for a well drilling company and did a lot of hard face welding on their giant bits. I'm 67 today and welding is still in my blood. Keep up the great content.
Hard working, master craftsmen like yourself built America one project at a time! Your work ethic and skills prove everyday that the American dream is still very much alive and vibrant! Thank you so much for what you do👍
I like the "How I do it" techniques and really like the "IC Weld" signature tag.
Precision gouging with a torch is much better than electric as you show here. Too bad younger welders dont know how to do it or are afraid to try it. You are the master of the torch , worldwidev recognized. Thanks for your videos.
Love your work! I'm an old man, and I'm now retired. I'm just now learning to weld. Please keep the videos coming.
Your Skill and technique is never boring
Please don’t think your work is boring! I love it all so don’t worry about It!
I know this is a welding video, but the classic old car in the background is fabulous!!!
It's a Hudson Hornet, if your young you might remember the movie "Cars", well Doc Hudson was the same kind of car as this. Pretty rare piece actually.
I believe Isaac has promised (I hope) some video on it.
I'm old, I can remember my dad buying a '54. I was 2 years old
It has welded parts on it, so it is in proper context on this channel! Lol
i can only imagine the obstacles and challenges you have to over come to get where you are.. the work you show, is awesome. so much respect for what you do man!
You are the only one on Utube that I can actually see how you are working the metal and running your rod in your welding process. You would be an asome teacher
Isaac I absolutely love watching your videos….. and of course you go and tease us with your car …spend a few minutes or a half an hour or an hour on your car showing us the interior the motor take us for a drive love the car man that’s awesome love your channel to ,all the best brother
I dont weld much, but i still learn from your videos. Your problem solving, attention to detale, and calm attitude are a pleasure to watch. Thankyou for sharing you work, and thankyou for teaching us wisdom in these situations.
Someone told me to bed with a stainless steel rod first then overlay with the hard surface rod, thanks brother appreciate you.
Your videos always contain tips and tricks for weekend warriors. We also don't mind longer videos showing your talents. Thanks for posting and take care!
Love the Derek and VGG reference. Love your videos!
In my former career, I used this exact tool quite a bit for siezed pins in well drilling rigs. We called it an arc air slice pack. That's probably a trademark name. My guess is that the hollow rod is either made of magnesium, or has it in it. We used it with a car battery, and it worked great. You could bore a hole straight through a 2" diameter, 3" long pin in seconds. The nice part was that it wouldn't eat through the rust layer separating the pin and the housing, so normally the housing would be fine afterwords. Once the pin had a hole hogged through it, most times, it would almost fall out of the hole it was in. Wonderful product, but the consumables are quite expensive. Thanks for showing it, it was nice to see again.
Arc air slice is a trade name that comes under the victor technologies banner along with the likes of tweco thermal dynamics thermal arc and many more
It's a steel tube with a steel alloy wires. The wires will readily go molten when stroked on the striker , short circuiting 12v at high current and the flow of oxygen keeps the molten state alive consuming the lance.
I learned something today!!! Thank you for your time again!!!
For as many of these as you repair, it would be really cool to take us out and show us what they look like in action.
Yes it would. I would love to see the performance of his work with the people who use them. The operator of the drill would be my first guess as to the performance of the drill bit.
Yepperzzzzz..... ship it to Mars.... lol
I love that you’re referencing Vice Grip Garage 🤣😂
Brother I am always learning something new with your videos, I am a welder but i am just starting, I wish some day I will be like you , thanks for your videos , motivate me a lot
Man I was on a site out here in new Westminster bc doing auger repairs everyday for a drilling company. Man those guys were busting pockets everyday. 3 augers per day to fix. Always checked in on your videos to see if I could improve my skills on fixing them, learnt a lot in those 2 months of doing them
I've always liked your shows man keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing and letting us watch over your shoulder
Another good video Isaac You get more information over to your audience than any other source that I know. I love your 'not too chatty' approach. Skills and techniques seep from the video and into this viewer. All I need now is for my wife to say, "Sure, you can have a weld workshop. No problem!"
I knew once I heard “Tonya 4000” in another of ur videos that you were a vice grip garage guy. That’s awesome!!! His videos crack me up!!!
Right on
Always a pleasure watching a highly skilled person working with their hands, thank you, nice shout out to VGG give it some onion's haha
😂 I looked away when you MIGed lol. Love your work
And the master of the torch hits it out of the park once more. Great work stay safe.
I have chemo today. I woke up and watched your video at 5:00. Thanks for posting this?
More cool stuff from Mr Cruz. You're spoiling us.
Very nice job cutting and beautiful welding.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing to see the things you do. It is so satisfying to touch two different metals apart. I used to cut a lot of bearing races off shafts in farm equipment when I was growing up. It is interesting to see you do that with a welded joint. Men like you keep everything rolling. God bless.
I used to use 5/64 lincore 55 fluxcore hard face. Worked. Really well seemed to wear really well.
Liked it over 14" at a time hard facing. I would just get in a zone and go till gun got so hot I couldn't hold it any more.
Boy them where the days. Not
Keep up the awesome vids. Thanks
Really good to see a proper job done with care and attention to detail. Chinese do not have the skill sets background to do jobs like these on a high demand basis.
Nice touch with adding your logo👍🏼
Thank you for this. Not a lot of video tips on exothermic cutting. It helped me out today
Short circuit is as good as any other welding you are right THATS what we learned at trade school and you already have all the heat in the job from all the cutting so your welds are sound mate. 👨🏭🇦🇺
I was a Rat Hole / Foundation driller for many years. This welder really knows what he is talking about.
the zig zag pattern hard facing makes the auger look like a big
festival sombreo.....way kool......Bravo
Very nice work bud. Love the ICWELD trade mark... that was really cool. Keep up the great work and thanks for the video. Stay safe ✌
These tools don't come cheap. These lessons are priceless! Thanks again Brother!
Maybe the hard facing would get boring after a while, but I'm glad I finally got to see it done. Love the signature, it matches your license plate :)
Hard facing is the most boring when using a wire fed machine. But using stick for hardface isnt to bad
Thanks for all the videos ic . I got behind on watching your videos but I will get caught up again.
Welcome back!
Yes I have had to use my Thermal Lance on a few occasions. Its the tool of last resort when all other means of persuasion have failed. Works great on frozen pivot pins, too! Love your channel. Always great, informative content.
I am so very glad you showed the hard surfacing!
That was the most fun thing I'm gunna watch today, Thank you!
Sir,you are the master of your field.great respect from Pakistan ! ! !
OMG, I spit my cold snack out or my dual intakes when I saw your autograph. Classic!!!
I see a Hotchkiss suspension box. What hot rod modifications are we doing. Great video. Let's make Vice Grip Garage proud and see more about that classic car. Don't need to go crazy on the video. I know this is a welding channel.
Another Masterclass
Learned a better way of using the hard surfacing rods. Used some many years ago, and now I see I wasted a lot of rod! Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge. Currently I'm rebuilding a 50 inch mower deck and my son is helping me while he learns the little knowledge I have of metal working and welding. Glad we can learn from your videos also!
ic weld signature is a nice touch. good stuff. awesome channel
Nice one great job! Greetings from the netherlands 🇱🇺
Your skills are amazing!!
Another mighty fine job. I've never seen that blue rod in action. I was surprised at fast it went through that pin.
All of my welding is on the farm, I always look forward to seeing you work your magic, always learn something thank you.👍🇺🇲.
I enjoy and learn something new every video, so keep em coming please sir !!!
I thoroughly enjoy tuning in here now and then. Great content and always satisfies my curiosity. A++
Isaac great video, and thanks for all the details on rods and setups!
Jippii and wow, nice job and great welding. Awesome video again. More such videos, I do look at them all. Greetings from Finland.
Another great video, I'm a complete novice , your skill level is so awesome to watch, hopefully you'll continue to put out lots of these videos so us underclassmen can improve our own skills, thanks for the videos
I always kept a couple of those inserts on my truck they make excellent center punchs
Thank you again Isaac! Your videos are sooo helpful; especially for me. We have a farm and welding is essential to our operation. I’m always learning and your advice is sooo valuable! Thanks!
well this popped up in my recommended and i am not disappointed. defiantly showed me something new for my welding carrier
"should hold til it breaks" I have to remember that one.
My favourite time … when CEEA and IC weld upload !
Beautiful vertical up!
Oh goodness. 44 min vid. Probably have to chip away at it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing Issac!
I have had good luck with an air hammer, just hit what's left of the tooth one the side. It will eventually rattle the rust and dirt out. Don't try to cut it just rattle it around in the hole. It can take a long time but eventually it will come loose. I have used this method to loosen things for many years with good results. Retired mechanic. Really enjoy the videos. Many thanks.
Hard face autograph. Beautiful.
great video. thank you very much for sharing. im a welder too. doing lots of jobs for the steel industi here in sweden. love your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. I learn something from you each time I watch.
Glad to help
Nice. I always wondered why the big augers had those weld patterns on the edge. You learn something new every day.
An auger with a twist! I like that!
Like your tag on the edging at the end. Lol
Really nice work!
I liked your signature
Cool video and there is that Hudson sneaking into the back ground. Thanks for an informative video.
That lance is slick, they chop through anything and everything. Can't be stuck if it's molten spooge!
Great job as always
The longer the videos the BETTER !! And always a GREAT learning experience you are a AMAZING teacher !! A exothermic I haven't seen one in years !!! Right or wrong I remember hearing them also called a cutting Lance at one time. Very nice work !! And bore ......no way !! The vertical up weave on the front of those tooth pockets were excellent !! Cool !! Hard facing !!👍👍A top notch repair every time and always something to learn !! 👍👍
Thks for taking your time to show the process! Great Video!
Enjoyed the video and a personalized touch is always good thanks for sharing
Not boring at all! Awesome to watch! 👍🏽
Wonderful good man. Also nice tools
Love the Hudson
Great video, Loved the intel on the hard surfacing.Thanks for teaching and taking the time to explain and share.
Nice process a pleasure to see interesting thank you
love that exothermic oxygen torch! that was slick.
Always a pleasure watching and learning .
An artist with that torch!
Great video and great job! Thank you!
Those cutting tips make great Center punches.
Getting the broken bit out I grind them flat weld a nut to them and zap them with a rattle gun with a bit of heat on the stool.
Most of the time the heat from welding transfers to post and you don’t need the heat.
Works every time and you don’t use very much gas it’s expensive here in oz
We mainly use a lance for removing stubborn pins
lances in the wrong hands can be devastating 😱
you better have your line borring guy standing ready.
Boring or not, very interesting to watch!!!
Another great job....you are the Master of the torch and welding.. Thanks for sharing.
Hard facing was one of the first lessons I got to do when learning to weld... couldnt really mess up the job and allowed me plenty of practice time hard facing on a Cat 988 loader bucket
Good video as always. Also thank you for sharing your knowledge about the different welding processes. Every time I watch one of your videos this reminds me of my first job. I worked during school holidays for a mining company to earn money for a own computer. There I had to do a lot of hard surfaceing excavator buckets. Today I remember all the well skilled man who are working hard in that shop👍.
First time seeing the thermal lance in use and it did the trick, pretty impressive just how fast it pierces that hard metal.👍👍
Love your work God Bless from Australia
Very interesting. Ive never had the pleasure of dealing with those teeth before i admit id be reaching for the gouger only because thats what im most famiar with. I used a lance once to knock out some track pins but i never had much opportunity to use them. Definitely a far better process than getting burnt by the thunderstick. I did notice it splashed back pretty good to though but great for achieving depth compared to copper clad. I recently was hardfacing with 1/16 wire and it was like welding with water. Huge puddle and a very slow freeze so gravity was a real problem. The stuff would run off to the side or where ever it wanted to. It was great to use once you got the hang of it because you could lay a slug down in a real hurry. Great upload Isaac and once again i got to see something I've never done before. Keep up the great work. 👍👌🤘
Nice avatar
Just a miniature lance rod, they will cut just about anything. Gone thru 2'x2' steel blocks in a very short time. Was a good job. Nice to see how you use the small ones
