Welding A Bike. A jig is a set of constraints and clamps positioned according to the drawing where the tubes are layed down and blocked. I wouldnt recommend an arcstick welder unless you are a very experienced welder using heavy guage mild steel tubing.
Tig Welding a Steel Alloy Bike Frame. Hey all Ive found one of my engine mounts is cracked. You can either weld for 2 minutes let the machine cool for 3 minutes while you set up the next piece and again weld for 2 more minutes then let it cool down for another 3 minutes and so on for a 40 welding duty cycle.
Most people arent precise enough to do this.
Bike Frame fixtured on a Stronghand Tools Welding Table and welded out using both ER70s-2 tig rod along with Weldmold 880. Tig Welding a Bike Frame with 032 wall alloy steel tubing and with WeldMold 880 Tig rod and then smashing it with a hammer. A jig is a set of constraints and clamps positioned according to the drawing where the tubes are layed down and blocked. Welding differs in that it actually melts the filler metal and the frame material so when cooled all three have coalesced into one solid.
