the plasma must be used for wg holes though. thats just what ive figured out.

The mani I was working on was for a a/c compatible D from LSD, but was easy to tell it came from you

and it had the little turbo welded into it. With the internal gate and chrysler t3 their was no way it was going to clear the a/c. Probably would of made it with the stock chysler elbow. But with the one he had it gave 2" from the gate outlet (that pointed straight out) to the back of the a/c. Had him order up a tial knockoff and a elbow and swapped out the stupid chrysler turbine housing for a ford one I had. Then everything worked out good.
That elbow is the first stainless I have ever welded. hehe. Stuff works pretty good..even with my pigeon ---- welds.

Re: Making Logs
If you guys ever use a hole saw, try submersing the part in water, and do the holesaw cutting underwater. It kicks ***!! Lubrication is good, but if the parts are kept cool, lubrication really isn't necessary. You will cut much better with even an air nozzle pointed at the area and blowing cool air than you will with quite a bit of oil. Remember that although friction is the cause of heat, you cannot eleminate but a very small part of the friction, and that friction is pretty much what is making the cut. By keeping the part and saw cool, you don't have to worry about the friction.
