Re: MIG welding overhead issues

Wind---breeze. You lost shielding. Try turning up the gas flow to 25 or so. Small machines should use CO2, not mixes.

Re: "Help" Welding a Jeep Frame

Disagreed. The sides handle down or up forces and the top-bottom plates deal with twist.It's well done.
Sure. Braking one piece may(or may not) be better.Most don't have a brake that'll handle 1/4 x 12"-16" or even 3/16.

Re: Voltage and Current

You put 250 amps of 6011 on 1/4 inch iron it's like using a cutting stick. Turn the MIG welder up and adjust the wire speed while you weld.Read the puddle and listen to the frying.If it blows a hole ? GREAT ! Back it off a little and carry on ! Charts and numbers are bolechit. You stand out in the A...

If you want FLAT use 3" channel and don't weld the top on. Use six or eight 1/4 countersunk screws.

Re: Acid etching

It basically changes ferric oxide to ferro-ferric oxide. Cold bluing and Ospho do the same thing.No need for hard core acid dips.Cut and dab a little cold blue. You'll see what you need to see. ;)

Re: Hobart Handler 140 or Tweco Fabricator 141i

Flux core welding is an industrial process. The greedy bass_turds at the various welding companies saw it as a way to sell inferior machines to idiots wanting something for nothing. A complete and total farce, like plated-coated drill bits.JUst stupid.

Videos. Arc length and whip technique.Forget "little circles". That's just stupid. The nature of the flux demands a whip technique.
