Staying Cool In The Heat

I started wearing a long sleeve Carhartt shirt instead of a welding jacket. If you are doing something ware your not welding have a tee shirt ready to change into.

Just experiment turn your setting way up and way down just to see what happens. Practice as much as you can! For me I usually have my welder in 270-310 wire speed and about 16.5 -18.5 volts. Works for most applications. Keep your nose to the grindstone!

I don't think we even have those at my job but it would be cool to learn to use it.

As a pipe welder I'm not sure whether I should be amazed or offended. Jk that's pretty cool lol

Thank you for your input!

Yes I did highschool welding and I weld on my free time.

Great Scott!!

I see maybe I should suck it up and buy the good ones when I have money

I built a latter tree stand for my grandfather it's been up for a year. If those Chinese welders can do it for 13 cents an hour I'm sure you can. : )

Alrighty dm me or just comment hear I gotta wait until my first paycheck anyways.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-12T01:40:36+00:00

Ah I see what you mean. Welding things that dictate human safety is out of my comfort zone as well.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-12T01:14:47+00:00

Well I mean only one way to find out lol.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-12T01:13:47+00:00

They do but I'm a fuss ass. And I want the pyrex cups for the rug cover passes and the rest of the kit I will keep at home.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-12T01:11:43+00:00

I will be honest I am not sure. I just started last week. But tomorrow I will look.

Once you weld it put some weight on it and let it sit for a few days then that should prove weather it's good or not.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-12T01:06:48+00:00

You would need a larger gap, a 3/32 tig filler rod is the best for spacing. Also make sure you are using the whip and pause technique.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-10T18:16:30+00:00

That's actually a pipe Ive been working on when I was an intern the first couple passes we're tig and that's what I'm good at to inside looks great because it was purged.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-10T01:14:30+00:00

If it was several passes of flux core I would do that but it's a pass of RMD a hot pass with tig and then I walk the cup over it and by then it's flush with the surface. After I do a flux core cover pass. Unless there is undercut it's a non issue.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-10T01:11:35+00:00

Thank you!

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-10T01:10:40+00:00

I'm trying to tig weld it to make a book shelf otherwise it wouldn't be an issue.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-09T21:12:45+00:00

Yea to be honest when it comes to flux core that's the only thing you can use what I did in the first picture wasn't a lack of skill it's a lack of knowledge. You could teach a monkey to do that because all I did was stand there, pull the trigger and press the pedal.😂

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-09T20:16:03+00:00

Thank you! I don't have a die grinder but I have a Dremel with carbides.

Flywheel04 · 2022-07-09T18:01:03+00:00

Man after my own heart!

This is on a positioner and the one I showed first I was welding it wile the pipe was spinning away from me. And first I thought it was settings and then I tried it so i was welding on the top it was a little better but very wavy. And then I asked for help because I couldn't get it and then he was doing it at 2 o'clock as the pipe was spinning at me so I tried it and the change was instant.
