Demonstration of The Carbon Arc Torch

Demonstration of The Carbon Arc Torch. The flame can be seen better off camera with the welding helmet. Use this to braze gas tanks, thin metal or heat up those hard to get off bolts.
It is hooked up to my Lincoln 225 AC Welder

@dvd0505 maybe brazing but it is somewhat difficult

I just got done watching your Honda auger gear box repair and I had never heard of a carbon arc torch. My uncle was a boilermaker and taught me all welding as a kid, but he never showed me this (probably bc he had oxy acetylene). So, I googled carbon arc torch and this video came up! I have a Lincoln SMAW rig but I always wanted a gas setup for heating. NO MORE! I am looking for a carbon arc torch now! You ROCK!

@mts0628 lol, actually carbon arc is old technology. i'd like to get a plasma

thumbs up if you love lincoln electric gear

@20920474 Funny you should mention it, I looked it up on Instructables, and you're right, far from rocket science! Even though it's old technology, it beats shelling out for a plasma torch/ cutter. I think I'm gonna tackle it this summer.

@mts0628 why not build one. not exactly rocket science.

@donyboy73 As my budget is tight, i am following the "poor man style" most of the time. I have to spot-weld 2 sheets or metal stuff together..Aluminum, steel etc...All types.As i see, that ebay item can do the job.(Not aluminum i think).Gasless mig welders are really expensive,i have only an arc welder.Still noob on it also.If i can find a cheap microwave i will make a Spot welder as well..

[donyboy73]

@halfmumi that's neat

[donyboy73]

@halfmumi that should work, i was thinking of something else. did u ever think of getting a mig welder?

[halfmumi]

@donyboy73 Hmmm...from ebay australia, check item id 190622609030. That is what i am trying to do.It says that it works with anytype of arc welder,that was my idea.. =)
