Toolguy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Pretty cool. Wish I had a laser welder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewski Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Outstanding! Would it be possible to do the same repair with a TIG welder? Just curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I can do it with TIG, but TIG doesn't have the cool factor of laser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I used some 101FC Trucote brazing rod (45% silver) to fix my yoke that I damaged last month. I held up for the IRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Whyte Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I tig welded mine on my 686 2 years ago. I ran a bead around the the entire piece, then filed it until it would rotate smoothly in the gun.I left it thicker than it was. No problems yet. If I do I'll do it again. My 586 has a different groove.Looks a lot stronger. New ideas are not always the way to go. I've heard of chips on several 686 models, but not on the older ones with the square groove.

I don't know if it's possible, it was the first time i made this job My opinion laser is more accuracy Work with a steel hair of 0,2 mm.

Brewski Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Patrick - you get extra cool points for using a laser. I know Dr Evil has a laser welder, but no one around here does . For whatever reason, my 66-3 has the same yoke design - not conducive to being repeatedly slammed with a speedloader in competition. I've already had the cylinder fly off once with a worn yoke screw and a gouge is present on the yoke, so I'm thinking I'll need to fill gouge (i.e. send it to Warren!) at some point. Thanks for the info. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1981 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yes, I think it's a job that affects many users of aggressive speedloader, with Safariland speedcomp III or Jetloader But if you reload with switch hand, keeping firmly the cilynder in the weak hand it is unlikely that could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
