I almost have the $180 it’ll cost me to to outfit my Hobart mig with 308 wire and helium shield gas. To fix things like this.
I’ll experiment with scrap first. I’ve welded carbon steel air tanks so I think I can get it done. But I have to do some studying on how to prep for stainless and post treatment.
I only say this because it would be elevated temps and low pressure…
You could use them as shells for shell and tube heat exchangers/FFE solvent recovery. Not ideal, but certainly a better use than scrap.

Nice, yes that same mindset of trying to squeeze another .1hp or a few pounds of torque is the same as trying to increase performance on extraction and distillation equipment, squeezing as much efficiency and speed as possible

Need some scrap? I will send you some to practice on if you pay for the postage, I can pack it in a flat rate box.
For prep you can grind the metal with zirconia abrasives, avoid using steel tools with stainless or tools that worked with steel in the past. Make sure you learn how to use your shielding gas for back purging the weld. You will have to learn how to manage your heat, overheat the stainless and you can run into carbide precipitation (grey ghost/ icicles).

Hi,
yeah, it has dem’ dual moters in der’. The handlebar is the worst part, it feels too flimsy for something that goes that fast.
