Thread: mounting the column to the floor

Tweet

if you cant spot a ujoint you need to stop welding. i put a small tig spot on both ends of the shaft to keep the ujoint from sliding down or the shaft from sliding into the rag joint. a set punch can do the same thing but i will never trust a set screw. remember the power tour a few years ago ?

yep and i would bet you it was never spot face with a spade drill . or a 1/2 ass mount on the column as well .i can tig weld with the best of them ...but why ?when the sets screws work just fine if you know what your doing
