Milwaukee Portaband Stand from Scrap Aluminum
I made a stand for my Milwaukee portaband out of scrap aluminum and welded it using 115 volt power.
Building this stand was like making a fixture for a part.
You just have to figure out some touch points and ways for things to wedge into place.
I used scrap aluminum pieces and I decided to try welding it using 115 volt power so I had to pull a few tricks out of the bag like preheat, weld sequence, AC frequency setting, and welding beads on corners to add heat before making actual welds.
The PrimeWeld TIG225 did a really good job on 115 volt power but does even better when you use 230v.
