How to Repair a Broken Welding Screen Foot
This is an Instructable that shows how to do a quick repair to a broken welding screen foot. The foot is a basic "T" that just broke apart at the weld. This "T" gets inserted into the pipe of the screen frame and gets secured with a thumb screw, so to repair it I just quickly welded it back together.
Sandblast the Broken Parts
Sandblast the area on the broken parts where you plan on putting the new weld.
Set Up to Weld
Set your pieces up in the orientation that you plan to weld them in and either MIG or TIG weld them together.
Reinstall Repaired Part
Once the welded parts have cooled, reinstall them into the welding screen frame and tighten the thumb screw.
