Splicing a small I beam together

Sorry, but if 6 volts is a "slight change", then why do they bother with TENTHS of a volt changes on their machines??!?

Oh, and did they ask you if you'd like fries with that?

Well maybe they realized the error of their ways and revised things!

Maybe your built in the USA MM252 was/is a much more capable machine then my assembled in the USA mm252...

Looks great, Now stencil "s.w.l 500lbs" on it and it will look just like a store bought one.

Good suggestion!

Or 2000lbs if I would care to proof it.

Someone can tell you what the max load (or max deflection) should be just don't go beyond that.
What could be more fun than proofing it?

This is the 10" beam I welded together. It spans 30' and sagged 1/16" in the center with a 1500 lb load.

Plates on both sides and tabs lag bolted into the rafters to locate it side to side.
