He said u had to use 4130(?) fill rod and use straight helium shielding gas crank the heat up an weld...I kind of thought to myself this guys an idiot but then I had to realize that I don't know everything an it ma...

I've done quite a bit of stick welding platforms but Im practicing a 3g 1/2 plate test with 1/4" gap an 1/4" backing plate....Now how the hell do i get it off to check my root pass??? The backing plate is new to me. Do u just cut it with the grinder an try to use a chisel an beat the hell ...

miller has a syncrowave 210. its about 3000 new. It's got a sd card port u can download different types of parameters off the computer. I thought about the diversion 180 but it doesn't have balance or frequency adjustments. Im kinda looking out for a dynasty for a decent price but no one seems to se...

Try swapping out ur gas lens or collet body

Hi corky ! I have a 200DX but on my machine i run it hotter closer to 85 amps and just move at a consistent speed. I've recently started using a small circle progressive pattern with 6010. Well atleast on 1/8. What problems r u having? Just blowing thru? Id just make sure u moving at a steady speed....

I just bought one of those new from miller for 33bucks(u.s.). @ Matheson Linweld

Practice makes perfect....First off i used to think I was never gonna be able to weld like jody! An i still probably can't!lol...but Im closer. The one thing I learned is that I like the Lincoln excalibur rods the most for 7018. The 6010/6011 i run at 95 amps for an 1/8" electrode. An u can run...

I tried this crap shoot of stick welding aluminum about a year ago...an I've gotten better at it but Im no expert at it. I've found that it's very tough finding the right travel speed. Cuz it's way fast! What helped me was making short welds and letting thebase metal completely cool at least til it'...

I've done a little back purge before...I know how to hook it up...but when I worked for a former employer they had a box with holes in the top. We had em in all shapes an sizes. I saw one of Jody's videos talking about em....but not how to build one. I was hoping someone might have a pic an some eas...

Id just use the 6010 to tack or stitch it together and weld it with good ol 7018. 7018 does better over time in the elements. But for a rack to just hold firewood u could use just about anything a good weld is a good weld for something like that

I've used hobart quite a bit...atom...Lincoln an a few welding supply store brands and I like Lincoln. But it's all personal preference....

Hi im Adam. I have a love for anything welding. I never went to school all my experience has been on the job. I've only got a lil over 2 years experience. I love to learn an Im open to any ideas. I've worked as a field service tech. Working mostly in packing plants doing everything from fabrication ...
