As far as filling it in, there's parts missing here. Called the local weld shop on that rod. 125$ a pound, 10 lb minimum to order. I hate that place,,,,,,,

10 pounds of magnesium rod should be quite a few rods because it is so light weight?

What i did was burn the powder coat off a old 55 case, then I wire brushed it, then I cut it into strips, theres the filler rod. Filled in a stripped hole, drilled and taped it, all good, theres 3 other cracks to take care of next.

Alan that is the coolest craftsmanship and most inventive technique I have seen in quite some time! +3!

Tim, if the real filler rod wasn't $125 a lb I'd buy some at a decent price... Did some research and 4043 al filler rod is said to work on mag, I may try it on a part of the 55 and see what happens.

Cool, I have a whole bunch of cases and cylinders that i was going o put in the scrap metal bin. Next time you are around you can have a look and any thing you think is worth fixing, you can have. In the future you will be doing ALL of my light metal welding!

Never throw that stuff out,, as soon as you do, you need it.

NO CHIT, but now I have someone (AlSled) that can repair it!

There are 3 areas that have cracks here, I cut a piece of a 55 case, the strip you see, and welded it on with other pieces of a 55, not pretty, but came out well in the end, the last pic is Sat. fix. Its a work saw, not a show saw, so I'm happy.
I also find welding mag. easier then aluminum.
