I'am a fabricator/welder of heavy equipment and love seeing this kind of stuff Bob..thank you for all the great content!!This UA-cam channel is wonderful and always love when your new videos come out..😎
Being faced with the logistics of managing two people and two video series, and after receiving very positive feedback on our new MIG Monday host, Bob Moffatt, we decided to instate Bob as the new host of both our Monday and Friday shows. Wyatt (aka Mr. TIG) has been an exceptional host and has provided a wealth of knowledge to the welding community through videos and articles, but unfortunately having two hosts was not logistically sustainable. We hope you will continue to follow us and find the content we provide each week as educational and informative as ever. If that is true, please share our videos with your friends and thanks for watching!
Might be easier to use a little trig to get the length of a side. You're never far away from a hand-held calculator with trig functions in any shop. The corners of the pentagon are going to divide the circle into 5 isosceles triangles with the the lines from the center of the disc to the corners being the 2 equal sides of each triangle. These are also the radii of the circle. A line between 2 adjacent points of this line are the end points of the 3rd side of the triangle. A line from the center to the mid point of this line forms 2 right triangles. So half the length of the 3rd side is (r * sin 36) The length of a side of the pentagon is twice that or (2 * r * sin 36). Now sent a pair of dividers up for this length and step off around the outside of the disc.. Connect the dots and get the plasma cutter.
Open cad software, click on star icon, how many sides (5), how big(X), how many(X) send to plaz table, job done! EDIT: Insert cool logos in part prior to sending to plaz table - my bad :)

Need more like this. any of us can weld most anything together, but have forgotten how to come up with the precise shapes and geometry to design our cuts.... and I can't turn to my son's math books to refresh because of common core.

Thanks for the support.
Great job Bob.You made the math easy.
I like your trammel tool. too cool
This is great! Keep them coming.
What has happened to tig time is Wyatt sick ??
was wondering that too ??

thanks for the information
I appreciate weld.com answering the question, along with the decision that was made.
What is MIG welding Silicon bronze like? Maybe a video going over that?

Great info man, math is gooood!!!
too easy...it doesn't matter..eh
Thanks great video
Hi I was wondering if the esab rebel 215ic is a good welder
Yes it is!!
What metal thickness would you recommend for a 24" across sphere using pentagons?
Is the base and all sides the same dimensions?
What angle is the bottom sides to the base?
that's good my friend

This video was requested by those who want / need to cut by hand.
Where is Wyatt and when is weld.com shop opening back up?
