I am installing steel I beams in my house with 3.5" columns down to the foundation. Will this machine have the ability to weld the beam to the post?

This machine should be quite adequate for this task unless you are using some abnormally thick steel.
1408280
yes,,turn it up and take a practice run for depth penatration,,ive used this machine on 1/2 plate steel...works great and quiet.

The instructions on my machine says it will weld up to 1/2" thick material, just be mind full of the duty cycle. The stinger is 12' long I believe. But not having more information, I will say yes, because 1/2" thick material becomes extremely heavy even in small size pieces of steel. Just guessing that you're probably not using beams or columns that thick.

YES, this machine will do the job. There are other machines as big, (in terms of amperage, or capacity, but none bigger, that i am aware of, without going to a three phase heavy industrial welder. I have several welders but my Ironman is the best machine I have. It welds excellent.

yes it is comp to the miller 250 witch I use to build trailers fix heavy equip etc

Since it's an 250 amp machine it will be able to, but can you weld out of position (over head).When I put pipe columns in I used a hole saw to cut a hole in the pipe for an elect. outlet, then weld box to post.I run plastic conduit in the concrete. Extra outlets are handy.Remember no wind with gas, fluxcore is ok.

It should. It's has an adjustable width on the mounts so it can handle a variety of beam thicknesses. Just make sure to center it up when you install it. You will need to drill your own hole and get your own bolts to secure them to the swing beam.

The bar/handle itself will, yes. But where you mount it will be important, because the support on the beam will be the weakest link. Also the age and health of the beams will matter. Good luck!

I welded 3/8" thick steel I-beams (multiple passes on 3/8") (structural) for a brewery. The job took 3 days with boom operator and steel setup. I used the welder between 8 - 12 hours pretty much all day and it handled the job. I didn't think it would hold up but to my surprise it did. Good machine. Made in the USA.

Yes it can. I recommend that you bring a spade or small shovel to dig 4 holes for the 4 posts. I would also recommend assembling the two sides and carrying them along with the assembled top. This will minimize any on-site assembly time.

It is a really solidly built bar. Just make sure you anchor it solidly (hit the studs). I doubt the bar itself would give way. The welds seem really solid to me, and I'm a big man.

Yes, real easy just add a pipe coupling and more or longer 3/4" pipe but the longer you make it the heavier it will get, no problem if your doing fence post, I knew a guy that did a water well, I had no idea how strong he was till I owned one. Also the blades can adjust out for 6x6 post.

Sorry, my wife has this account and just forwarded this to me. I think it should connect, but you wouldn't get much depth in your cut. I have a 20" bar (which only has about 18" actual) and I was not able to cut that full depth. If you want more info, I can set it up and send you exact numbers. Just let me know. casey.sweeney@indy.govI think it is totally worth the money. I've only made large beams with it, but it's nice to have this capability for cheap

No I do not think it would work with out welding some additional pieces on for support.

Yes. The bar is hollow based on the weight but very sturdy. Welds are solid.
602938
Absolutely. As long as you're trying to drive the screw into something it's intended for. An iron I-beam? No. A 4x4 wood beam? Yes. I've actually used this bit for 6 inch decking screws, worked fine.

No, I would not recommend you doing that with that much weight overhead. Post need to be set in ground properly with concrete if you plan too add that kind of weight overhead and it is safer for you and your family.

Yes it does. The metal is real weak at the weld points.... ours broke after like 2 months; It worked great until it broke. I had to have it re-welded.
1493152
Yes but you will probably have to make modifications for mounting these are small side boxes not the larger ones I was disappointed in the size and we had to weld new brackets the stuff they sent was flimsy
1543115
Yes. The hoist will have to be installed perpendicular to the 30 degree angle beams. You will only be able to hoist it until the near beam side of the boat hits the beam.

Mine did NOT come w/ a post. It was perfect for me because I had a previous post set in concrete that I cut down to 2'. Worked perfect. I've seen posts where you hammer a large kind of stake into the ground that seem easy, but never worked w/ one myself. I'm very happy w/ m Step 2 Mailmaster.

It welds aluminum fine . Ive done several jobs with it for aluminum, all small stuff nothing over 1/8 thickness .never had a problem with the machine just takes a few trys to find the sweet spot for the balance and frequency
