The difference between this welding video and most of the others I've watched is that you're not assuming anything. You're covering all of the details, no matter how minor, and that's how a "How To ...." video should be made. I've noticed that some of the comments seems to be a bit negative. Why? Because your welding looks good!?! Come on, why can't a good weld look good, too? Based on what I'm seeing, the welds you've gone through the trouble of recording for the YT audience not only look great, but they appear to be super strong as well. Please keep up the great work.

Beautiful work as usual! Good to know about the discount from Weld Metals Online. Earlier this year I bought a bunch of coupons from there and was surprised how nice the material is and how well packaged it was. I almost didn’t want to use it for practice they are so nice. I ended up using the aluminum coupons to make small containers out of them. TIG of course. I got practice while making something useful instead of another paperweight. It would be great if you had some ideas of small items that could be made using the coupons and posted a video of it. Love your videos! 👍🏻

She’s a beast with just about the harshest arc I’ve ever seen, but brother, she loves to spray arc. I need to get one of those smaller fancy schmancy machines like you got.

This technique is actually allowed in structural welding. I weld girders for a living and either a straight push or pull technique or a back and fourth weave in the root is also fine. If u choose to weave back and fourth, turn ur settings up by a volt or two and itll still have structural integrity

I have a tire shop here in Atlanta. I do bent rim repair and would like to start welding cracks in cast aluminum wheels. I would prefer MIG. Something that runs on 120 but I don't think that's strong enough for thick cast aluminum (spoke side ot the wheel). Can a MIG welder handle the task? If so what do you recommend on a budget for a beginner?

I agree, that’s some nice welding young man. What type of gas are you using, C25 or other? I have a Hobart Handler 190 with 240V input and .30 solid wire with C25 gas. You make me want to get out and weld as soon as it warms up. I miss the crackles, smell and it all lol. I went to IvyTech Weld School after High School in 86, then welded at many fab shops after. Now I’m into electronics repair, but welding was my 1st love.

@simclardy1 4 жыл бұрын

What's up with 200% inductance? How can you have more than 100%? Inductive loads cause the current to lag behind the voltage and capacitive loads cause the current to lead. I wonder if 100% is in phase 200% would be 90° lag and 0% would be 90° current lead? Not that it matters because my mm215 does not have this option (that i know of) just curious Cheers

Another informative video 👌 unfortunately for me my Mig machine a UniMig transformer machine only has wire speed and voltage dial,the voltage dial is numbered 1>10 (what ever that equates to 🤔) so sometimes it makes it a bit difficult in getting the machine dialled in as I have no idea what those numbers for the voltage settings mean.

@5thStreetFab 4 жыл бұрын

Sure it just makes it a little harder. Look on the chart for the material thickness you're using, bump the voltage down 1 click from what it says, and try to lower the wire speed 1 or 2 clicks from that point. Should give you a real close start point
