Welding

What the trade is about

• joining together pieces of metal by heating the surfaces to the point of melting using a blowtorch, electric arc, or other means, and uniting them by pressing, hammering.

Types of equipment con’t

• Combination Square• 4-1/2 inch Angle Grinder with two 60-Grit Sanding discs

and two grinding wheels

24 ounce Ball Pein Hammer

• This ball pein hammer is a tough general purpose tool for striking, punching, riveting, shaping and straightening unhardened metal.

Chipping Hammer

• A hand held hammer with chisel-shaped or pointed faces used to remove rust and scale from metal surfaces

Gas/Cutting Torch Tip Cleaner

• is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses

Flat Cross-Cut Bastard File

• Popular file used by machinists, ship and engine builders, machinery builders and others who need rapid removal of metal

Magnetic Torpedo Level

• a type of spirit level with three spirit tubes for measuring horizontal, vertical, and diagonal planes

Combination Square

• A tool used for multiple purposes in woodworking, stonemasonry and metalworking. It is composed of a ruled blade and one or more interchangeable heads

4-1/2 inch Angle Grinder

• Could be used for smoothing the weld or cutting the metal
