? Snip What tooth design is used for slabbing?

Round tooth design mate but only on an 11° angle

Interesting. On a saw blade a straight cut tooth (chisel tooth) is for ripping along the grain. The angle cut tooth is designed to slice the grain and cut. Effective cross cut. A straight chisel cut blade doesn't slice the grain in front of the cut.

So the straight cut blade cuts faster on a chainsaw? What tooth design is used for slabbing?

This is what is meant by square grind. Clearly cannot be achieved with a round file and takes far more skill, you take a triangle shaped file and go from outside the tooth in.

Thanks winnie, that is not what I pictured in my head at all.

OK, new Cigweld 185 arrived this morning - Sunday delivery - Aust post must be really overloaded. Anyway, unpacked it, then down to Total tools for wire and gas, quick read of the manual and guide for parameters and what a difference to the little Rossi. This is just like it should be, really happy. the gas bootle cost was a bit of a slug though, but I now own the bottle (E size, $475 - ouch), but wire was on special.

The first pic of welds is with the new welder, the second is the best i could get out of the Rossi, both with gas.

First welding job should be a trolley seeing as how it looks like it could easily fall off that wheelie bin

I think I can save my time and effort by spending $90 on a 'bought one' I reckon. The welder is quite firmly mounted to the bin with 6 tek screws - learnt about their use from old @MudRunnerTD. Only hassle now is removing them weekly for garbage collection.

Just watch out for the main wiring loom in the bin, could cause a world of dramas. . .

Way back in 1997 we were camped at jacks waterhole in the Kimberley next to a guy from Sydney with a brand new landcruiser and a brand new jayco. He recounted the story about his fuse blowing hassles with the jayco from pick-up. Could not keep the main breaker from tripping on his way from Syd to Alice, so at some time along the road he pulled the breaker out and jammed a 1/4" bolt into the jaws, which fixed it for a while then something else 'big blew' and he lost all power. Getting to Alice he found a service agent and the van was booked in. They eventually found a large tek screw right thru the middle of a major cable. Lucky it didn't all go up in smoke, but he was 'oh so proud' of his electrical mastery - as I am at times!!!

How much for a gas refill, @PeeBee?
