Thrive Off Grid

Im running the Harbor Frieght Titainium duel voltage with Tig and stick conversion.

I’ve ran it straight off the generators but in the shop the power is supply post battery system so the power is clean from the EG4

I think most companies have that scenario in mind so they are designed for generator power.

Its sitting out back I dont have room in the shop right now. I chopped the frame down to short box spec’s and have to order new leafs for it and dont have the funds for that. So I need to get the chassis built before I can drop the cab back onto it. You need to buy a gasifier so I can order truck parts!! Tom!! :slight_smile:

Going the Swedish way with alle the stainless? Looking good! Your plasma cutter is doing a great job, no room for mistakes with stainless.

Yeah its three times more expensive.

A sheet of 60X120 14 ga mild steel P&O is roughly $120 bucks
A sheet of 304 SS same size and ga is $370 bucks.

I only weld the what is now the pump shield and I only have to stitch weld that together and then the Blower adapter and jet.

The rest of trhe parts I just have to clean up after the CNC Plasma and hit with an orbital and call it good. I dont have to paint it so I dont have that cost. But I go thru a LOT flap wheels grinding the edges off.

Any chance you can use a carbide router bit? Carbide should hold up to 304 SS?

No I dont think that will work. Just need good quality flap wheels and they tear that stuff off. This is the back side anyways. Then I run it around outer edge perpendicular to the faces sides. It dont take long and Id rather do that then paint.

But yeah that was why I made this change as the paint dont hold up and those parts start to surface rust.

That would kill my woodgas enthusiasm. I always assumed ss was free of charge for everyone :innocent: :grin:
