With this badge you gain access to these tools:
Oxy Ac Welders
An oxy-acetylene welder, also known as oxy-fuel welding or oxy-fuel cutting, is used primarily for cutting and welding metals. It utilizes a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gases to create a high-temperature flame, which can melt and join metals together or cut through them.
Stick Welder
A stick welder, also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is a type of welding process commonly used for joining metals. Stick welding is versatile and can be used in various environments, making it suitable for construction, maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and pipeline welding.
Lincoln TIG
A TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welder is utilized in metalworking to create high-quality, precise welds. TIG welding is commonly employed in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and nuclear, where weld integrity and aesthetics are paramount.
Vertical Band Saw
Used for cutting metal in curved or irregular shapes.
Slip Roller
A metalworking tool used to bend sheet metal into curved or cylindrical shapes. It operates by passing the metal between rollers, applying pressure to achieve the desired curvature.
