Today we're discussing Hard Facing with Jerry Matheson. Jerry is an Applications Engineer with Select Arc. If you are facing a problem related to welding, Jerry is the man to talk to. He's been in the industry as a welder, CWI, and instructor for well over 25 years.
So the Camera Guy broke the handle off of his cast iron skillet. I have repaired several different pieces of cast iron throughout my welding career using a different approach than most. I was taught this method by my old welding instructor in high school and have used it on many cast iron repairs and have never had any issues.
Every welder at one point or or another in their career, has put in a bad weld. I myself am no exception. Whether you're just starting out, or you've been at it for 20+ years, it's going to happen.
If you go into any welding shop, you will no doubt find several different types of grinders.The right angle grinder is used to cut, grind, blend, buff and clean metal. Roughly 80% of a welders time is spent prepping the material, and there's no doubt in my mind that the grinder is used the majority of the time during the preparation of the work.
