[TheForge] welding cast iron

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

That feed ratchet arm came broken on my post drill too.
Could it be that that is an easily reparable weak link in the 
system and that replacing it with a stronger forged one will do 
more damage when the next screw up happens?
A normal oxy-acet torch and cast iron flux with the cast rods 
works fine with sufficient preheat on cast iron.
Brazing rod shrinks at a different rate than the cast and can add 
stress to long joints.....Pete F
