Over the past several years, I have been fortunate to be able to break some cast iron parts for things I was moving from where they were to my shop where they are now.
I was told that the only good way to weld these parts back together was TiG. Does anyone have anything GOOD to say about this? I would really like to get these parts repaired.
Two of the parts involve a large hand-spinner for collecting honey. The spinner fell while in transit and broke not only the handle but the plate gear that actually drives the spinner. I have kept these parts in hopes that I would eventually become "less afraid" to try to weld them back together. The handle isn't that critical but the gear wheel seem to need some accuracy.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Recently, I sent away for some EZ Weld TiG wire from a guy on Lopez Island in Washington State. I saw these used on a video on YouTube by "Mr. TiG" and he gave them a very good review. I'd like to use them and would be interested in knowing if anyone else has any experience with them or was Mr. TiG just blowing welding smoke?
Thanx
