Hands-On Tech Session: High Amperage Welding
On Saturday, Feb. 5th, we will hold our first Club event of the year. This will be a hands-on tech session featuring instruction and utilization of high-amperage welding. We will hold this at Graham’s manufacturing facility in Calverton, NY, where, in addition to the welding equipment, we will get a chance to also see and use other special equipment, such as plasma cutting. We will also see the manufacturing processes necessary to fabricate aluminum and steel for the production of traffic poles and sign structures for the Department of Transportation.
Cost: Free
Refreshments: Will be available
Travel Suggestions:
1 – You’re certainly welcome to travel individually to Stony Brook Mfg.
2 – Otherwise, meet at the Airport Diner, 3760 Veterans Memorial Hwy, Ronkonkoma NY
Meet time: 8:30AM and the group will leave promptly at 9:00AM
Equipment: If you have a welding helmet please bring it with you. However, if you do not there will be helmets available for use.
Will be a rain or shine event.
The equipment will be available so if anyone has a repair requiring welding you are welcome to bring it with you. This could include things like a trailer or furniture.
This will be a unique opportunity to see how the professionals work with larger pieces of metals and the special equipment necessary to fabricate them. Remember this will be hands-on and everyone will get a chance to create some serious sparks.
Please RSVP to Mike at macsl300@aol.com and let us know if you are coming and if you will meet us at the Airport Diner or will travel individually.
Looking forward to seeing you on Feb. 5th when the sparks will fly!
Mike
