HOW I WASH AWAY A WELD WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE BASE METAL (NO SCARFING TIP)

Рет қаралды 64,927

Күн бұрын

Today I thought it would be fun to show you a scarfing trick I learned years ago from a drilling rig welder. Scarfing metal or when you want to cut a weld but not the base metal is a common practice that is typically done with a specific scarfing tip but what happens when you are in the field and don’t have a scarfing torch or are just starting out and can’t afford a scarfing tool.
I’m Austin Ross of AROSSWELDING and this channel is intended to share my experience as a rig welder and owner of a welding business. Today we are rehanging gate at the farm and talking cutting torch tricks in the process.

Hell never knew about this trick! Thats awesome! And I agree with you on using what you have at the time. You start learning how to work with what you have and get through it. Met to many people saying "ah I don't have that so I can't do it." I started on ranches with just a Lincoln 125 fc machine a chipping hammer, and a cheap harbor freight grinder 🤣 always figured ways around things I needed.

@megacab109 3 жыл бұрын

@austinross hey, here's a tip I learned the hard way. Hopefully you are able to find this useful. Try not to pass current through bearings and hinges. Any arc marks that happen on the load bearing surface can make them run like crap or fail/Gall prematurely. Hope this helps man! 🤙

Hey Austin, I really like learning about the welding tips and tricks you provide in your videos. In this video we see you do some welding on a gate. When you pull out your welding leads (ground and stinger) from in front of your machine they are orange... my question is “what welding leads do you use/ recommend?” Thanks! Keep up the entertaining content!

Well brother, I learned something today. I have done my share of scarfing over the years and it never occurred to me to use the mixing knob to regulate the oxygen. So thank you. I will definitely try it out next time. If you see a welder run because of fire its a good one. Lol Should have had water. But, no harm no foul.

I always carry one of those plastic hand pump sprayers meant for spraying weed killer on my rig. Keep it full of water and soak down the weeds before starting! Someone else asked why you didn’t just use a grinder, but if you’re like me, I hate grinding! I’ve used that technique for many years because anything that reduces grinding time gets an A+ in my book. I’ve always run a #3 tip in my Victors btw!

@arosswelding 3 жыл бұрын

Well, you said it. WASH.. I've never used anything besides a cutting tip, other than the plasma, will a regular cutting tip. I use the lever, just don't push it much, just enough to blow the melt away.. couple hits with the slag hammer and it's done.. Thanks for the video!! And the history and direction!!!

@ArcticBlues1 3 жыл бұрын

Great tip! I will try that next time I gotta scarf! I think you should invest in a small 2 gal sprayer. Keep water in it. When you go to make sparks in a brushy/weedy place, just lightly spray the area down before you spark it. Also, when a little fire pops up, you can just quickly spray it and put it out for good :)

@arosswelding 3 жыл бұрын

Ya I usually have a sprayer on the truck but mine just went down on me and I just haven’t got another one. If the fire danger was higher I would have made sure I had water closer. It has just rained a couple days ago.

Yes. Grinding takes longer and is less enjoyable, to me anyway. And grinding also shoots sparks at undesirable areas taking a chance of getting metal in your paint or truck windows.

@willallison1136 3 жыл бұрын

Using the torch to take off the large chunks of metal is much faster and cheaper. Then use a grinder as needed to clean it up to desirable level. Many people can clean it up well enough with just a torch if you're welding over it again.
