Screw the haters, you keep building quality products. Because of guys like you and many other I want to start doing this, im in school learning all the processes. I can combine 20+ years of being a diesel mechanic and my new skills as a welder and make my own performance parts. 🤘
Man nice work. I love using a positioner whenever possible. I’m in the nuclear industry and we do a lot of X-ray pipe work. We primarily use the J bevel which is a bit of a pain to prep but really sweet to weld! Great to see you purging as well. There are custom exhaust companies out there that are not purging and it’s disgusting! Keep up the good work and representing us welder/fabricators well!
Very clean work. I’m in aerospace and we use positioners on 90% of our parts I love using them. I want to get into doing more headers and customs intakes and stuff like you do with purging. I know I will with my pre-runner build keep up the awesome work I love watching the welding videos.
So funny cuz I love building car parts like this. But what pays the bills is doing this on boat stainless refrigeration parts. Or steam lines. But when car parts come on the list I pretty much soak it up.
I knew I recognized those welds on that 304... I follow you on insta. When I seen that positioner, I knew I seen that exact setup before. You're a badass with that torch!!! Fuck the haters, It only means you are doing something right. Keep killing it my dude. The content is great.
Great work. I think its ridiculous that people get butthurt about how a weld is done or not doing all different types of welding production. Like you said you do performance parts for cars thats your whole operation.
Fellow stainless welder here. I do food grade type stuff mostly but am working my way slowly into automotive. This was a great video and is exactly what I wanted to watch. I do wish we could have seen the root tho. Not doubting it’s good just curious👌
I’ve posted so many videos and so many photos of roots to haters it is simply pointless. Go to the Instagram and somewhere along the line you’ll find the videos and pictures 👌🏻
How long did it take you to get good at feeding wire with your hand like that. I cant keep it stable. Like the wire wants to move in a curved direction.
Hey man, awesome video. You think a newbie can do this? Im good with CAD I've designed my headers but I've gotten some insane quotes for building it. I'm thinking of doing it myself. I've done tig before but only a little bit. I know it wont look as pretty but as long as it works im content. Any suggestions?
Be patient with yourself and don’t be afraid to try new things and find your own way of doing things. Obviously fundamentals can’t be changed but how you hold the torch, how you feed filler and so on can be unique to you so figure out what works for you
I’ve been doing this now for 10 years, but don’t let that deter you. Some people got a back for it and for me I was fairly proficient within months. The fabrication side of it will come with time, the better you get at fabricating the easier the welding becomes. YOU CAN DO IT!!
I operate the positioner with a pedal, so my left foot operates the positioner speed and my right foot operates the Amps for the Tig all while using both hands to feed filler and hold the torch
We build manifolds for alcohol and diesel pulling tractors from .063” 316 stainless (2.5” primary) and they survive over 100# of boost for several seasons. They are very concerned with weight. They either get ceramic coating or they turn purple/black after a few passes so the beautiful welding colors never last. I would use a weld positioner (or any tool that makes my work more efficient) if it is practical
when you come to end of weld to prevent an eye in the middle of weld pull the eye to the side of the weld and slowly lift up tungsten and it will be gone, your welcome.
This positioner doesn’t have a quick release feature where you can spin it around to get the starts/stops where you want them. To do what suggest would take more time and therefor I don’t do that. Some positioners do have that feature which if I had one that did would would but until then “this is the way”
Flawless work! Im a Honda enthusiast. Your work speaks high volumes! 💪🏻👍🏻

You are a highly skilled precision machine.Great work !

Thanks! I try my best
You're definitely consistent and your work is beautiful. I always enjoy seeing your posts on the gram.
Thank you!! 🙌🏻
Nice process dude. Results start at the prep stage.
Your prep is top shelf, keep up the great work.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching 🫡
nice work there thanks for your take on things
Killer work man, haters going to hate like you said that’s not your problem it’s theirs.
Very clean work. I’m in aerospace and we use positioners on 90% of our parts I love using them. I want to get into doing more headers and customs intakes and stuff like you do with purging. I know I will with my pre-runner build keep up the awesome work I love watching the welding videos.
Thanks man I appreciate it! Will do, got plenty of stuff I can make videos on wether it’s welding, fabrication, part development and so on
That’s some sic tig work bro 🤙
Appreciate it! 👍
Amazing work, Very inspiring and informative. Subscribed and liked.
Great work and clean!!!!!
Thank you!
Dude those parts look awesome
Awesome video

Beautiful work man, and thanks for sharing!

Mint welds mate if I can end up this good I'll be done ✅
Thanks mate!!

Yea it blows my mind to be honest, I have the utmost respects for the brothers and sisters out there working away in the field.

@@bnmperformancefab Will definitely be checking that out! Appreciate it bro
Awesome man 🫡
Bro this is awesome great work would love to just come job shadow you for a week hell a month just to learn so cool and very well done 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘

Just takes time, take a piece of filler and work on it while you watching tv or have down time. Not to difficult
Thansk for the response!! i will have to do that @@bnmperformancefab
I wish I had the money to afford the argon you go through in post flow
Nice work.
Thanks!
Hey dude awesome job what gas flow you use
Generally the torch is around 30-35 cfh and the back purge is around 10cfh
can u try thin wall stainless on the positioner like regular size header material 16guage
I do
Wao! can't wait to be like this, hi from Puerto Rico.
What angle is your bevel?
I need to build a positioner !
Bought the bits - making it !
That’s awesome they look great. it does make me jealous hahahaah
Can you make a more in-depth video of the tig welder and what water cooler
That I can
Thanks man wanting to order this machine just want to buy the right accessories
That burp was delicious 😂
Mmmmmmmmm
whats the standard angle you are using in that sander machine ? can u tell me
It’s about 38 degrees
Do you do lessons on this? Would definitely like to learn from you very clean work👍🏻
I don’t currently

You’ll never know unless you try, don’t over think it 👌🏻
do these need full penetration and if so are you achieving it with that first pass?
Not required but I do get full pen on them in single pass for the most part
@bnmperformancefab with a knife edge bevel on schedule 10 and no gap at 90 amps or so, it definitely seems possible.
have you done that befor
im halfway through my welding progamme and i want to work on cars and do stuff like this. do you have any tips for me?
Be patient with yourself and don’t be afraid to try new things and find your own way of doing things. Obviously fundamentals can’t be changed but how you hold the torch, how you feed filler and so on can be unique to you so figure out what works for you
Great work!
Appreciate it! 🙌
The wire wheel is stainless or regular wire metal wheel .? Im from Puerto rico. Nice work bro
Stainless, other types will inbed material into the runners
Can I ask what kind of wire wheel is that on your bench grinder?
@@MrHotcress stainless wire wheel
Sweet stuff.
Looking really good 🔥
Thanks Michal 🙌🏻
Top quality work , looking at yours the manifolds pipes ive lust received for welding are junk. Wasted a damm load of money .
Thanks 👍
Sorry if you explained it before but are you using all 100 amps or are you adjusting depending on how the puddle is reacting?
So the machine is set to 100amps so that would be the max when I have it set at 100amps. Really depends on what part of the manifold your welding
How do you like the grizzly combo sander?
Love it never had a issue
@@bnmperformancefab you feel like it has enough power for most jobs?
Hi! What is the size of the TIG weld in millimeters?
Huh?
@@bnmperformancefab I'm new in TIG welding, and I was wondering if when you weld you measure the TIG weld.
Do you weld one inch at a time
how long did it take you get this good brutha
I’ve been doing this now for 10 years, but don’t let that deter you. Some people got a back for it and for me I was fairly proficient within months. The fabrication side of it will come with time, the better you get at fabricating the easier the welding becomes. YOU CAN DO IT!!
So many questions! How do you control, work out the speed of the positioner and how do you start it or is it timed?
I operate the positioner with a pedal, so my left foot operates the positioner speed and my right foot operates the Amps for the Tig all while using both hands to feed filler and hold the torch
Awesome work man, thanks for the demonstration! Are you pretty much at full pedal at 100 amps once the positioner starts going?
Thanks man! I’m probably around 85-90 amps
Are you full throttle 100amps?
No not all the time, the perks of using a pedal is being able to input heat and pull heat
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT TO RIG THE TORCH SO IT DOESNT MOVE AND YOU CAN JUST RUN ROD BY HAND?..
I have but for speed sake just holding the torch to adjust for the part not being 100% square in the fixture is the best route
where did u buy this torch cape ?
does clamping the stainless between carbon steel, cause issues down the road? any rust forming?
Never had a issue with it, it is simply holding a part is all.
nice intro! haha
Glad you like it!
nice job, but why is that pipe so thick(2.5mm?) why not thinner(1.6mm)
It is a turbo manifold, it’s roughly .110 thick has a 1.9 od and a 1.68 id
We build manifolds for alcohol and diesel pulling tractors from .063” 316 stainless (2.5” primary) and they survive over 100# of boost for several seasons. They are very concerned with weight.

304???
Correct
@@bnmperformancefab Why? Aerospace quality workmanship on junk yard dog material???
If you kept the positioner turning after you tapered off your arc, you would get a more even discoloration and not that stop line of different color.
This positioner doesn’t have a quick release feature where you can spin it around to get the starts/stops where you want them. To do what suggest would take more time and therefor I don’t do that. Some positioners do have that feature which if I had one that did would would but until then “this is the way”
The color will probably disappear the first time the manifold gets orange hot under boost !
