Sill Stands, TIG Welded Roll Cage and More | Today at ETS [UPDATE 006]

"This workshop stinks of burning metal, which is a perfume I am quite fond of" - Definitely not Nigels missus, 2021

Foot pedal control when using a TIG welder is a powerful advantage allowing us to really throw some power and heat into our welding but also quickly button off when required such as you do when dealing with thin factory metal on a vehicle and your generally thick fabrication materials for sill stands, roll cages and more. Nigel runs though a few different ways he uses the pedal if your foot isn't a convenient choice along with a rundown on what has been done to the Nissan S15 project recently.

This is a webinar 'pre show' from a full ETS members-only webinar lesson explaining dimple dies. Details on membership and access to 006 | Dimple Dies Explained below.

WEBINAR INFO: One of the aims of Motorsport fabrication is to achieve increased strength and reduced weight and a great way to achieve this is through the use of Dimple dies. The flared hole that a dimple die produces is a prevalent feature in motorsport fabrication and you may have noticed that many race cars use these to reinforce custom tube work to the stock chassis. In this webinar we will explore the techniques and tools associated with this process and show you how to make lighter and stronger sheet metal parts in the process.
