Free range fabrication with a dash of automotive tomfoolery.

Primeweld MIG 285 and why it’s the absolute best machine for the money!
Kinda diffrent from some of my other videos but I figured I’d do a sort of review and build with the primeweld mig 285
I also talk about how I sold my harbor freight Vulcan omnipro 220 for this and why #fabrication #heavyequipment #diy #welding #harborfreight #metalworking #harborfreighttools #fieldwork #benchvise #mechanic #primeweld

Exothermic torch build! (Don’t spend 1400$ on a victor unit!)
Переглядів 1,3 тис.11 місяців тому
An exothermic torch is a good unit to have for any mobile welder or repair shop but I couldn’t justify spending 1400$ on a fancy rod holder and an oxygen valve so I built my own for about 80$ and every part of mine is replaceable for next to nothing!!!! I walk ya through the process of building and buying the parts you’ll need to make your own! #fabrication #welding #fieldwork #diy #heavyequipm...

Homemade TIG filler rod?????? Is it any good?
Переглядів 142Рік тому
so I’ve been on kinda a break working on a bunch of stuff and because of the weather but man oh man I saw a video about home made tig filler rod and I just had to do it. Is it worth it? Your call honestly but it’s fun to play with and welds actually really well. I know what I’m gonna be doing is saving all my old mig wire and trying to tig weld with it! #welding #tigwelding #welder #welding_cre...

what did you do to fasten fuel return line? no provision for recessed allen bolt?
Now that you have had the welder for 10 months. would you go back and buy it again, or would you go with a different welder.
@@tonystites2134 I’d buy it twice over and once again on Sunday!
Most HF equipment, if any part fails, no replacement parts are available.
@@sergeantmasson3669 here’s the thing it’s all the same as a victor from o ring kit to tip and actually there’s a lot of replacement parts available through them tbh that being said I had an airco torch that was rebuilt and was 241$ to rebuild it that’s almost 3x the cost of this torch

Will Omnipro tig setup fit on Primeweld mig285. Thinking of also going Omnipro to Mig285. Want to mig and flux outside with 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 plate in shipyard.
Where do you get the bottles from
Awesome! Doing mine on Sunday!

The cart is overbuilt, but I like the look of things that are overbuilt. It's a style all its own : - )
Its been pretty good I’d like to change my handles and I’d swap it back to fixed casters on one side but otherwise I wouldn’t change much
How do you get it repaired when it breaks? I’ve been a welder for 40 years, welders break down and need repairs. Every welding supply store will repair the big three( Miller/Hobart) and Lincoln. They won’t repair that welder.
You call up the company and get parts next day aired to you very few welding supply stores repair anything any more and infact primeweld is faster about getting parts out than Lincoln is
@kevinthorrington2131 lol no they won't. Got a particular Deltaweld that keeps throwing a helpline 700 code cause the plate thing on a board inside the machine is set for 460v, not 575 like it should be. Messer keeps shipping it back to us in the same state we sent it to em. They say they can't get it to throw a code. The dummy's use 460v so obviously it won't throw the code. Wish my keyboard had a face-palm emoji.
Cool. My 1st 4wd was a '73 power wagon. $100.bucks. no reverse, from a junk yard. A year into it, i fixed the trans. The 318 had a carter 2bbl carb. Worst carb ever made. Had to replace it or rebuild it 5×! But the 3:90 gears, and 205 t-case were bullet proof!!! No heater! Bald tires, it went through 4' of snow like it was a spring shower! I loved that truck!!!
Good old american trucks, I love it🛻
Well there will be 2 things that survive the nuclear explosive apocalypse, roaches and this cart
А почти все продукты износа все равно остались на дне, под шестерней. Туда шлангом не доберешься...
Thanks for the review. Would this machine do dual shield???
It absolutely will!!! I did a job not too long ago running dual shield
Using any petroleum for leak checking a system holding oxygen compressed or otherwise is rather brave. Ivory soap (plain) and water is recommended in Oxweld and other torch manuals. It would be MUCH more professional to study proper practice instead of assuming.
here I am nearly 2 years later and hundreds of jobs done and still ain’t blown up or died. Starting to think you guys are lying to me
The sound of that Dodge 🤤
What is the charger off of originally
i dont trust in that , to me is a time bomb
Well it’s. When working fine for what 2 years damn near? It feels and runs just as good
Could you find a larger Crescent wrench in your tool box 🧰?
Milwaukee, Dewalt and many others are built in China too. So for the "best bang for the buck," you can't go wrong with Hercules. Besides, if your Dewalt or Milwaukee break down you gotta wait a few weeks to get your tool replaced. If your Hercules breaks down, you simply trade it in at your local HF store. Simple.
A few questions, what if you need a much smaller or larger curve in the bend, how would you get a too far bent pipe out, and does it have a safety mech?
Whats the pink stuff added
That’s 2 stroke gas I usually use it for the first fire up kinda helps keep everything loose and ready to fire. It’s got added oil in it gives it that pink color
How long does the saw run on a 2.5Ah battery... and it didn't look like it came with a case(?)
Kinda varies I’ve gotten about 30-50 cuts inch smaller material with the 2.5
Nice cart build! I got the same Evo Saw. I also bought their bigger 14" saw as well and put both of them on the same table with the fences lined up. Works well when I'm cutting multiple pieces with different angles. Very efficient being able to cut a miter on one saw, then slide it over and do a miter or bevel cut on the smaller saw.
Great review. I started purchasing PrimeWeld equipment for our business 4 years ago and have had great results with all of it. We own 500 amp equipment down to micro welding from the big names and the service from PrimeWeld is what is driving most all of the new purchases.
Nice review brother appreciate it
I'm not getting any luck on Hercules bandsaw blades they are Made in USA they break easy and only using them cutting trimming thin aluminum sheets doing straight cuts only no curve i clean the tool/bearings/ of cuttings all the time using vacuum and brush. .....can you let us know blade life ?
I can definitely update this they’ve been meh at best they’re definitely cheap and they don’t preform as good as I would of hoped for a made in USA product I’m gonna try some other blades
Just picked one up. I have all Milwaukee tools but don't use one of these often so I thought I would give it a go. Thank you for your time and information.
Love mine
Hey MacDaddy, really like your style. Excellent review and build. I hope you make more fabrication videos. I wanted to ask about the Evolution saw. Have you ever had it kickback when doing angled cuts? Spec.s saying it's rated for 1/4 inch thickness on mild steel. Have you ever used it on sold bar stock over 1/4in. thickness?
It’ll get the job done for the weekend backyard warrior!! 90% of torch users in the world don’t correctly know how to even use a torch anyway!. So need in spending lots of money on name brand better torch still not knowing how to even use them correctly IMO!!👍👍
It’s actually been preforming just as good as any victor in a professional daily use setting. I won’t hesitate to buy these and put them in a shop environment
do you think it has the depth to cut 4x12 stair stringers?
A 4x12 stingers gonna be alittle much it’s only a 5x5 opening but that’s how most portabands are. If you Need to chop a stair stinger your best bets a cutoff wheel or my personal preference is a metal cutting circular saw
Mine was delivered last Monday!!! Awesome machine!! I bought the tig 225 last summer. And one of the great things is I can buy full size rolls of wire from work cheaper than going to a welding supply store. Dual shield roll 150 for dw50 mild. And I can get 316 stainless or aluminum also from work at their cost.
Definitely get ya lol always more cost efficient to buy in 33 pound spools
I picked one up the other day so far so good I did hate buying into another battery platform and wish someone would hurry up and make an adapter so I can use my milwaukee batteries
I have strictly Milwaukee tools at work I purchased these for my Business since they’re cheaper and I wanted to keep my Work and business tools separate so far it’s been really good
I love that harbor freight gunky smell. If they made harbor freight gunk scented candles I would buy them😂
If their Hercules corded version also had a 5 year warranty I would had gotten that instead. Both said they had the same no load 420 SFPM. I wonder what is really more powerful the corded brushed motor one, or the cordless brushless.
Maybe I’ll buy one and give it a go lol 😂
My guess is your application - what are you cutting and for how long. If using all day long, then corded is the way to go, i think. Especially if used in the stand, as a standard so bandsaw. If you need portability, than cordless,
@@rickwoodham4570 I'm just a garage hobbyist welder. I don't do anything seriously enough in volume to warrant a shop band saw or cold chop saw. Time is on my hand and already have an abrasive chop saw. That's why I opted for the cordless. Might be useful to cut metal out in the field or and old barn.
@morenothing4u yeah I'm no expert, but if you are in the Hercules battery line, then is go cordless, for portability. Can't beat their 5 year warranty on the brushless Hercules line - I had issues with my reciprocating saw last month. Walked in store with broken saw & walked out with a new one in less than 5 minutes. Didn't ask why, just exchanged it
I definitely like the herc line of tools. I’ve been a Milwaukee man most of my life but I’m definitely impressed with em
I'm looking to get a good home shop welder to start learning to weld. Would you consider this a beginner friendly machine?
Maybe not the 285 but they do offer a mig180 that’s a great cheep beginner machine it’ll do about anything you need! The 285 is a killer machine but if you don’t need the amps of the 285 the mig 180 is great
@@macdaddydiesel I'll look at it. Thanks for the help!
I bought mine two days ago. The 2023 Black Friday special they were running made it an easy choice. Buy 2 of their 5ah batteries and they let you pick a tool. I chose this and picked up the blades. I know their 5ah batteries are not their latest high end batteries. So far, very happy with this purchase.
It’s been great so far!

It’s an Eaton M122 but the outer casing is off a Deere a series combine you’re not gonna find another like it lol 😂
It's not an Eaton supercharger. It's made here in the USA I can see it on the case I just can't see anything else
@@coreyellisart6877 it’s an Eaton made pack in a housing made for a Deere combine by elderbrock but it’s just easier to call it an M122.

@@macdaddydiesel right on, I'll check that out. Thanks! 👍🏻 😬
@@bce5726 no problem man! It’ll put holes through a 6 inch pin easy as pie
U should sell kits
I mean selling a kit isn’t really my goal this was more to help guys out who need one but don’t need the 1400$ cost of a name Brand torch
If you're the kind of welder who needs one making it will be very low effort.
I put thread tape on mine so that help
Thread tape is NOT for use on cutting tips and is ONLY to seal TAPERED threaded fittings not gas weld fitting tip seating or hose connections. If it leaks fix the problem because surprise fires are a bad thing.
I got one took me forever to figure out how to use it it works pretty good
Yay the death saber
Look this is as close to my Jedi fantasy’s as I get don’t ruin it for me
Does it have the safety features of the 1400 dollar one??
The only actual safety features on the ESAB slice torch is a hand guard! Witch there’s is made of plastic mine is made of stainless steel I also have flashback arresters build into my regulator
Cool nose candy
It’s party dust for educational purposes only
I think you can’t beat the Harbor Freight Doyle vise execellent product
Well it didn't go flying out of there haha
Yeah no 4th of July sparkle cannon yet but Atleast the proof of concept is there I’m gonna tweak it so I can use a collet nut with a better seal
