I want to setup two more work stations for my HI's. I am planning to build venturi forges.:eek: :eek: I would like to see what is the most popular burner designs with you Dudes.:D They will only be used for forging.;)
 
IG,

I got that double venturi forge, remember the one from the first HI at your place, I could bring that up. I took out the firebrick sides and lined it with Kaowool, but have not coated it with ITC-100.....Got any? :jerkit:

Coooool!!! I just need the burners. I have the forge bodies, Inswool and ITC-100.:thumbup:
 
I just use the Reil E-Z burner :) Works for me,and I can weld with it! I used a mig tip for the nozzle (easier than finding small drill bits at the time) and the "axial" choke design.
 
IG, what size MIG tip are you using? I used a .035
Do you have a flare installed ? I found that it is necessary for a stable flame.
To tune the burner mount it in a vise and set the flare about 3/4" onto the end of the 3/4" nipple.
Insert the MIG tip to center of the air intake or slightly less and leave it just loose enough to vary the insertion depth. Set the propane pressure to about 2psig and light the burner.(put in a dark area so you can see the flame well)
Vary the insertion depth slightly until you get the best flame. Tighten the injector.Turn off the burner. Loosen the set screw on the flare so it can be moved with a pair of pliers. Light the burner again and adjust the flare for the best flame.
You may have to do this a couple of times to get it right.

Edit: I should have looked closer at your pic. That tee will be hard to adjust. You must use an 1 1/4"x1 1/4"x3/4" Ward reducing tee.
I used this kit http://www.zoellerforge.com/flare.html

WELL!!! I didn't do it exaclly like that.:confused: :confused: I look at your pic and thought (scary) that you had the same tee that I bought. Also the tee is 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 3/4". I also drilled and tapped the end cap to 1/4 NPT. I have the 1/4 npt cap off with a 040" hole drill in it, it is set a 1/4" from going into the 3/4" side. I will put on a flare. I'll get this sucker going, maybe not by the HI. HEHEHEHEHE!!!
Thanks for the help.
 
I got this sucker running today.:eek: I replaced the 1/4 NPT with 1/8 and put a .045 mig tip on it. I have to make up a choke and a SS Flare.
 
I have the burner almost done. The burner consists of the following.
Anvils elbow 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 3/4" tee. End cap drilled and tap to 1/4" Npt. Inside the tee I have 1/4" Npt nipple, then a reducers to 1/8" Npt. I had a 1/8 Npt brake line fitting that I drilled and tapped to the 1/4" 28 for the Mig welder tip. At the end of the 3/4" pipe I put a coupling that was ground down to fit into the flare, which is a tube off of a Wideglide HD. I still must do the flare up, it will have an internal flare, which will be ported and polished. HEHEHEHEHE!!!
Will post pic of this sucker running in the forge.:eek:
