Burning track guide for steel plate.
ieezitin:
Hi guys.
I work for a billion dollar company that has a $20 tool spending budget per annum, yet they want their job done right yet! They will not buy tools. The apprentice welder I work with has no clue how to cut thick plate straight for our patching we have to do for the stone crushers, he keeps sending me up 1” thick plate that looks like a blind one eyed beaver just hacked through it so to remedy this I made today a plate guide for burning plate, it also has a handy feature of allowing you to put an angle on for making bevel cuts.
Took me two hours by rummaging in the scrap box and using stuff that’s not in service, they were an old lump of brass that was a drop from a previous job, an old scribe block swivel, a little aluminium block I found on the floor by the milling machine, a track arm I got from an auction in fact I have about 80 left in the box and the stainless slide bar that came from an old printer I grabbed from the recycle bin at the grocery store.
Now I have to show the nit-wit how to run it. God bless Anthony.

Neat idea, reckon I'll have to make for work now, but, what about them plastic wheels.
That flame throwing gas axe, sure creates some real heat, round about where them wheels used to be. :(

Nice Modding job of parts found in the scrap bin.
Sounds like you need to start your own billion dollar industry. :lol:
