Summary
Home of metal fragments and welding fumes, the metal shop is home to many tools capable of shaping, cutting, and fusing metal.
Metal Shop User Guide
- Gas Cylinders:
- Tank Exchange Area: This is a corner outside the auto bay and classroom where new and empty tanks are kept. If a tank is empty, please mark it as such with a tag and move it to the tank exchange area.
- Welder Set-up: We have our MIG wire welders set up for steel welding. If you intend to use a machine for something other than steel, please carefully set up your machine, and change everything back for steel when you are done. The gas hooked up to the machine should be Argon/CO2 75/25 mix, the wire should be mild steel wire (typically .030), and tip should match the wire diameter, and the drive wheel for the wire should be on in the correct position for the wire diameter.
- Welding Curtain: Make sure the curtain to the wood shop is closed when you are welding, torching, brazing, plasma cutting, or any process that emits harmful light.

Welding Gas Cylinders
We order shielding gasses and torch gasses from Maine Oxy. Typically ordered as we need it, only occasionally stock backup. Usually order a delivery the week before a welding class.
Typical Cylinders:
- CR C25S - 25% C02, 75% Argon, Size S (141 cubic feet) - good for mobile welding cart
- CR C25T - 25% C02, 75% Argon, Size T (305 cubic feet) - good for running 2 welders
- OX K - Oxygen, Size K (227 cubic feet) - for OxyAcetylene torch
- AC WS - Acetylene, Size WS (140 cubic feet) - for OxyAcetylene torch
- AR T - Argon, Size T (305 cubic feet) - for TIG/Stick welding, MIG welding aluminium
Rolling Bench of Misc Tools
In the storage area near the rented rolling workbenches, there is a cart dedicated to extra metal shop tools that don't quite have a home in the metal shop.
- Rolling Mill
- Tubing Ring Roller
- Hydraulic Pipe Bender
- Sheet Metal Brake
- Abrasive Chop Saw
