Hobart vegetable slicer attachment repair !

           This was a fairly straight forward repair after I hunted down the right parts to use.

                          I used my normal set up with 3/32 Lanthanated tungsten.

Silica Bronze filler metal was used heavily for the latch !

                           I used tooling and a drill press to achieve the accuracy of the latch

                                It was built  up several times in several places to get it within tolerance  !

The finished latch Fits great and is much stronger than the original !

For the push door I used stainless steel hex head bolts and welded the shaft to them.

This is fusion welded to save the threads , it is a very tight fit !

This is the end product below !                                                    

A perfect fit no play whatsoever !

                      Overall this project went perfectly an I am very happy with the final result !

Happy Welding !
