Why not drill for the tapping before welding to the core 🤷🏼♂️ surely that reduces the chance of swarf going into the core?
In this world of buy it and then throw it away nice to see QUALITY craftsmanship My compliments to the highly skilled
Master class in being a legend at your job - awesome job
Great video, haven't done something like that for 30yrs plus. Just a couple of thing; dividers are referred to as baffles, and you can purchase gill pliers for straightening the fins, or at least you used to !!. Brings back many happy memories. Thank you.
Yeah, Johnson Manufacturing (and probably others too) still makes and sells all he various tools you probably used 30 plus years ago including thin nose duckbill pliers for fins straightening.
Beautiful work
Awesome work! Do you have details on your belt sander upgrades?
Excellent Al radiator fabrication.
Beautiful work! But I GOTTA know about that Blanchard ground fixturing table!
i believe its crummy brand
Wouldn't it be better to drill the holes for the bungs prior to tig welding? Because now you can introduce metal shavings into the radiator, possibly clogging one of the passage ways up
Ideally yes but its nothing that cant be washed out. On production units thats usually the MO, however its not always possible on custom rads
There something very satisfying about watching fine craftsmanship. Nice work!
Beautiful!!!. It must be nice to have all those cool tools. What Band Saw do you guys use? I thought about converting a wood band saw to metal using a Variable amperage controller.
That was a great video, beautiful work.
Sub'd because of this video, covered the important details, thanks!
Beautiful job my question the tanks are on the side does it work any better if the tanks was on the top and bottom the water would flow down to the water pump hose
Pembuatan rediator..sangat bagus 👍👍👍
You probably heard this before but having a small shear would be a game changer for you
Wow, that's a piece of art 🎨
Thats some beautiful work, i have to do this at some point, i only wish i could produce something so clean and well made.
Beautiful work!
great work
Where do you get the cores? Nice shop and nice job. Great demonstration.
Outstanding presentation! I always wondered just how a Radiator actually went together.
Trabalho perfeito muito bom também trabalho na área de radiadores e sou tig...
Wow, you are a careful sponsor of your work
JUST PERFECT !!!!!!
Very nice video, thanks for your work
Nice work!
I know it depends on the thickness but what usually settings do you use? I work on old radiators and core replacement and although I weld them ok but I can't get a consistent straight cord
Nice work
work of art
Bonjour bravo pour ce travail Merci beaucoup ! Good luck for You ! 👍👍☺🌋
excellent Job!!!😎🍻👌
Beautiful..! I See tou use Tig Finger from Jody..😉
Awesome work, who is a good supplier for the cores?
Great video and awesome music
Perfect! Price???
Looks quite good! How much are your radiators going for roughly? Granted different applications have different needs and requirements.
They range from about 500-1500 typically, mostly depending on size, complexity, and fans
Nice job but how did you seal the divider to the core or does it matter?
I wondered that too. I'm guessing that it's close enough that a little bypass doesn't matter but perhaps there's more to it.
Nice! Can I ask which liquid did you use to clean aluminium? Thanks
Acetone. Anything will work. Brake cleans out of a can is probably better. If it's new like that, shoot it with the cleaner then blow it dry with air, no wiping needed usually. Also, you should probably brush it really good, (in 1 direction) with a small stainless steel brush to remove any oxidation
Hello, where do you get the honeycomb interior?

Did I miss the part where you said the size drill bit used to make the hole for the 16an bung. Because I missed it. Anyone know the size?
If you don’t mind me asking what brand cores do you use can’t find a good supplier and nobody seems to want to share a good source
Have you found a supplier? I've been looking forever.
Четко!
I see Milwaukee tools, this guy is a pro.
Are the cores used made in house or do you mind sharing where you get them from?
They are made in the USA but thats all we can say
@@rampagefab Share where you get the cores. Don't be greedy.
Красота
Ok Donde compras el panel básico del radiador
Damn how much to build a rad for my K5 blazer?
What is the name of the belt sander used in this video to prep the aluminum?
Nice
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
where do you find radiator cores?
We’re do you buy the cores
Do it every day at work at active radiator
How many one,,
Gj, but I feel like your fabricator is good enough to bend his end caps down on the end, instead of a 3 piece tank. Would save time for the welder, and a guarantee no leaks on the bend. Pay the welder, keep him happy. Been in the radiator business for 10 years now, a consistent bead is getting more rare to come by.
Well as it turns out the fabricator and the welder are the same person lol. And we no longer build rads often but when we did we would just have pre bent channel that was cut to length and pre cut caps ready to weld. So actually way faster than custom forming each tank to the right length. When I was doing production radiators the tanks were all laser cut and cnc bent with end caps like you were saying

Shouldn’t you be cutting the holes in the tanks for bungs before it’s welded? There’s no way you’re getting all the chips out by blowing air into it.
No thats not really a thing when building a custom rad. In production the holes are usually already cut out during the laser work, so its a non issue. And yes we get all the particles out after the work is done.
@@rampagefab Guarantee you don't get ALL the metal shavings out.
If only they were doin custom work for eg/ek...
Why do all you radiator builders not spill the beans on where to buy bare cores!
I don't mean to be a troublemaker, but I think you should be using 4043 filler. All the weld filler tables I have say that 5052 base with 5356 filler should not be used at sustained temperatures above 150 deg F. I know these welds should not be stressed much at 15 PSI, but why not follow the industry recommendations anyway? If you're not anodizing it, the superior color match of 5356 shouldn't matter at all.
Ill make sure to let you know when i have a weld fail. Been doing rads for over 6 years with this method and never had an issue, nor have the people that taught me to build rads so 🤷♂️
@@rampagefab - Like you say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating!
@@rampagefab is there a reason that you prefer 5356? Not being a smartass, I'm actually curious.
@@Lucas12v Welds easier
just like in pakistan
Я один заметил что стружка вся падает во внутрь
Нет😀
Я тоже не понял почему нельзя было сначала дырок насверлить

It's sad that they now are making them out of aluminium.
Very nice work. I have problems cleaning before putting on the tanks, you make it look so easily. I need to weld without rod, clean with plastikk disc, weld, clean several time. What kind of grindtool do you use, doesn`t it make any pepper in the weld. Thanks a lot. You can se some of my work on Facebook Thoresen Automotive.
