This is funny and awesome. Next V8 blender for V8 smoothies
Thank you tim best explanation ive seen yet can youbdo one on pulse spray also
Dude you just gave the best explanation I've heard when you say your heating to creat a pool and then adding to it. Well said🎉
welding pipe is hard to me not only it looks like shit it has pin holes all though it
Great bit of kit, and it’ll never rot being that thick.👌😎🏆
The lesson learned here is to clean off the oxide layer first for better results
Hello, I have two questions. I purchased a cheap arc welder on Amazon, for like $70.. the picture shows the grounding clamp going into the positive terminal. It came with J422 sticks.. I used the negative side and was able to get an arc but wondering if maybe it was a mistake in the picture or if I should be using the positive side.. Also, I'm trying to customize the size of some powder coated fencing panels I got from menards to put on my retaining wall.. just the cheaper vertical 36" by 48" panels. What is the best electroid to use for this type of material? Should I be completely removing the powder coating at the weld site? If so how wide? I was having A lot of trouble using the J422.. melted a hole. And had trouble maintaining an arc. Thank you.
wow, I actually understood what you were talking about! Great video thank you.........ALMOST feeling the need to learn, my biggest concern is being able to hold the torch consistently close enough to form a good weld.....
Amazing! good job looks great!
Now weld that vice and try again! Good video. Thanks.
Only a few spools of wire? Christ I'm going to go broke.
Lowest amp and tiniest rode is ideal masters says
There are some of these little inverter DC stick welders with a "lift TIG" setting, although I have yet to try one.
6013 is basically sheet metal rod because it does not penetrate. Try 6010 dc rod or 6011 ac rod all around most versatile mild steel rods that penetrate you will never go back. No reason to fight with a welding rod that doesn’t penetrate and traps slag.
How much did this cost overall and what is the top speed?
It's been a little while, but I think it was $800-$900 and I'd say it goes around 35 MPH. A big part of that cost was the special aluminum wheels, which were completely unnecessary, but I just thought they looked so cool that I had to buy them. Hitting a higher speed is just a matter of changing the sprocket or adjusting the torque converter. Speed is the easy part, handling is harder. This one was really made to look a certain way, though.
7018 3/32 what causes the slag to look wet?
You have that backward, voltage is not what is dangerous, it is amperage that matters. Hence why a Tesla coil is safe. It’s high voltage, low amperage.
Why can I touch the posts of a 12 volt car battery that's capable of delivering 800 amps and be fine? It's because the actual amperage that flows is a function of voltage. Ohms law states V=IR. Because the resistance through a person is relatively fixed, the voltage controls how many amps will flow. Therefore, by limiting voltage, you also limit current and create a safe condition. So yes, like I said in the video, the amperage is what hurts you, but controlling voltage is what matters to stay safe. In the case of a Tesla coil, the reason that it does not affect the human system is because of the very high frequency range of the Alternating current produced by the circuit. While welding is done using either DC or relatively low frequency AC (under 400 Hz), Tesla coils operate at frequencies over 100 kHz, which frequencies of electricity do not affect the nervous system or cause muscle contraction in the same way that lower frequency AC or DC current does.
Excellent inf! Thanks! Fixing my tractor.. no stick experience really.. mostly mig... subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
What is the difference between these an the Evolution orange one?
The orange one is a multi-material saw and is built with cost in mind. The vise doesn't have a quick release nut, so you have to turn it all the way out and in unlike the blue saws with a nut that allows you to slide the vise jaw up to the material quickly. The clamp on the orange one is fabricated from sheet metal rather than heavy cast material that is on the blue saw. The orange saw requires the Allen wrench to adjust the fence angle, where the blue saw has a built in handle. The blade is a multi-material universal blade rather than a dedicated steel cutting blade. Other than that, I believe it's similar to the S355CPSL. I'm sure it'll work good, but the features on the dedicated metal cutting chop saws do a lot to save time.

You are most welcome! Thanks for watching!
I can't seem to weld 16-14 gauge metal without burning through even on the lowest settings ( Letter and number dials) . I'm using the 035 wire the machine came with. Will switching to 030 wire help?
Yes, switching to .030 wire will reduce the amperage and help avoid burning through.
This was a wonderful video with great arc shots! I learned a ton thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for the nice video. I'm thinking of buying your course but I'm a bit lazy, is everything metric-compatible in the course or, do I have to use my brain? (e.g. Amps/thou is not a useful unit on my bank of the pond) I suggest you copy your answer in the course blurb too :)
Thanks! I have metric units in the courses, but the units aren't really the main point. I teach based on principles so that you can figure out the quantities yourself. If you try them and find that it's not the right fit for you, just send me an email and I'll refund the cost, no hard feelings.
Damn you, all I wanted to know was how to repair my bandsaw blades and now I want to get a welding machine. I have hobbies enough as it is.
I have used almost all CAD software you mentionned, except free version of Solidedge. Talking about Fusion360, as you mentioned that drawing export is limited. In fact, it is not limited. Unfortunately, it's more than limited. You cannot export a drawing you created in Fusion360. The only option you have is Screenshot.
My favourite electrode is 6013 because its all purpose and very flexible .i have experienced with 7018 but 6013 its something else
Hi
Problem is that people use pulse on everything its really only beneficial for outta position or if heat input is a issue axil spray gets better penetration than pulse
True story, unless you're working on thin stuff or out of position, spray is generally better. As more of a fabricator than a production welder, I do it just because it's too much time to switch material.
Great tool. Useless outcome.
What’s a good machine with this capability? And economical
Great tutorial
Is it true that if I change the stick from negative to positive I'll get a different kind of weld?
With stick welding, you'll generally get less penetration with DC electrode negative, which can be useful on very thin material. I use DC electrode positive 99% of the time.
@@TimWelds Thank you for clarifying that for me, best wishes from the UK
THANK YOU for this video... This is the one question I've just spent hours trying to find the answer. Which one to start with, and here you are.
I want to build a buggy cage but I only have stick welder do you think i can do it with stick welder or i shold buy MIG welder
You can as long as the material is over 1/8" thick, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Such a good explanation. I'm still a newbie, and thought I couldn't do aluminum with my similar welder(titanium) but you made this so simple. Now I'm excited to try! Thanks
Damn. Did we all have the same childhood dream? Awesome video.
Thanks for the video, I have noticed a little problem 03:28 the clamping is pushing the part due to the 90 degree pliers clamping. I think a 1/4” cover plate underneath the round table would work better and the use of a “C”clamp or a regular pliers. The use of 180 degrees clamping should maintain the part to be drilled in place.
I agree that would be more accurate. I never thought of a cover plate for the bottom, that's a great idea.
Hi hope u well. Max pro welder do u still need to change polarity also to weld flux core
A brilliant gentleman ♥️👁️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm in Europe, so thank you for the metric. Took all your advices, some other content creators and real life people and bought a MMA/MIG/MAG 180A machine. Started welding today dispite investigating the matter for the three months prior. In my machine you can choose amperage, voltage and wire speed. So, you need to setup all of them, nothing is tied automatically to each other. I guess it's better that way for experienced users but a bit more difficult to get the hang of it for a begginer. The machine does not have a parameter chart and everything I find in significant detail is in inches 😢
Belinya lewat mana pak?
Good
As a guy relatively new to welding, I have heard "If there's slag, you drag". Here, in the vertical up motion, you are pushing. I am a bit confused. A little help here coach?
That's generally true. With vertical welds, gravity will pull the slag downward and you can prevent the molten metal from falling out by using a slight upward angle. The best way to get a feel for it is to try it both ways on some scrap and see what you think.
