SGL spot welder???

[GazOC]

Could anyone help me out? I need two pieces of metal welding so I can mount my new Newt focuser to the existing (larger) plate.

I'd of couse pay P&P and 'extra' to cover the messing about.

Welding sounds a bit brutal for such a job Gaz, what are the pieces like, and are they steel aluminium, what. How thick are they.

Perhaps a pic. would give an indication of what would suffice to do the task.

Sorry I reread your post. I am thick you know. Spot welded you say, Anything over 2mm snookers me I am afraid.

Doesn't KK do a spot of welding (no pun intended) not sure if he's MIG, TIG or whatever though. Is there no way you can bolt it instead?

[GazOC]

I don't think it'll bolt, I'd need to drill into the bottom plate in a really awkward place. I'm going to take it into the fitters at work and see if they can come up with anything.....should keep 'em busy all day!!

They'll have a whole project team on it within the hour - schematics, analysis, destruction tests ...... hey, it takes the mind off the boring day to day job!

When I was doing my OU degree I had to do a basic level maths course because I'd been out of education so long and needed to brush up. I took an equation in one day that I was having trouble with that practically shut the laboratory down for the day. They arn't so smart when you put them on the spot!!

Hope they don't get to read your appraisal of them Gaz, or your metal fusion job may end up a small pile of molten metal.

Job done, I never doubted the lads for a moment....

I'm now the proud owner of a 14" Dob with dual speed Crayford focuser, it certainly looks the business!!
