Cylinder welding?

[Tree Sling'r]

Has anyone had any success welding cylinders?

I know a few people that can weld them. Not sure how much it would distort the bore right there. 461 cylinder?

Yeah, 461

Thechainsawguy.com /Saw King Canyonville,Oregon. Check out some of his welding on You Tube.

Shaun Carr could weld it as could Adam Clarke. Adam is in the same state as you.

Milling the base would be an absolute after welding?

Third one I've heard of the base breaking on....

 

[mdavlee]

I've heard of a lot more 460 and 390 bases than 3.

I'd try JB weld, seriously. But if you try it and it breaks again, forget about welding it. You'll never get the JB off enough to weld it.

That's a tough one to weld and get full penetration. You'd need to "V" it down along the entire crack, more so on the thicker part. Then there's the machine work afterwards.

What mm is that bore?

Absolutely

JBWeld would never hold that. It would vibrate right apart.

I've got a 200T jug that's busted like that.....

 

[redoakman]

Hey tree sling how many hours you think that saw had on it before it broke just curious nothing more .

 

[Moparmyway]

If any of you guys want to donate a jug with the corner broken off .............. I might not get to it for a little while, but I would be willing to try to TIG it.
No guarantees though, the cylinder must be considered as toast and a lost cause, and machining would have to be done IF it were repaired well enough to consider running it.

Please PM me if interested

I would say that would be a build up, reconstruct job. The piece that broke off is too thick near the cylinder to be able to weld it all the way through without having to put a lot of heat into it.

Great point.
