Let us help you get your weldment fixtured. Please submit your drawings and we can help make you a fixture map and fixture placement using the Fireball table system. We might even make a video on your part. The ones I’ve done are listed here:
Don’t have anything ready drawing wise, but do have a suggestion. How about fixturing a tube structure, sorta like a cage, where the entire structure has to be fixtured at one time to meet dimensional and alignment criteria. Think a section of a steel tubing fuselage.
My God man! Every time I watch one of your videos - especially about the tables - it just makes me more and more and more determined to get one ‘someday’!
And, of course, that ‘someday’ is… a long, long time from now.
Love what you do, thanks for everything, @Fireball_Jason! And all the rest of the team, as well!
Here is a example of a fixture map for this part. It is a 2 part fixture operation. First operation is the s section. The second is the angle iron placement.
Thank you for this video. I was missing the step of creating the drawing to get the measurements. I was trying to measure from the assembly. I thought your cad had special powers. Lol.
To fixture up the bars I would start off by using the table to set your center picket. After that is welded in I would go back using two stacks of shims to set your picket widths one at a time, it would not be time or fixture efficient to fixture out every single picket in a gate or railing. Get yourself a center reference and shim out off of that you will be within a 1/16 which should be fine for pickets.
