Bent mandrels and cleaning wires tip
If you are like me, inevitably your gonna have bent mandrels and cleaning wires for your torch/
I have been straightening mine with the following method, it works like a charm..
1. Roll your wires or mandrels across a smooth cement floor. If they don't roll freely, your not gonna be happy with them at the torch.
2. Take one or two of them, lay next to each other.. (I usually like to do them one at a time.
3. Take a steel block, I have a 4"x4" for metal work. Roll this across the wires, I usually put my weight into the the block while I roll the block across the wires.
4. Work your way up and down the wires until they roll freely.
I have straigtened wires I never thought could be saved by this method...
