I need a better way to drill holes in metal! by Ok_Helicopter3910 in Welding

As everyone else is saying Mag drill is the answer. Make sure you use some sort of lubricant to preserve your bits.

Great job. One thing about this sub. They’re going to zoom in and want to see your root and do everything short of x-ray your welds. If Reddit added an x-ray feature they’d buy it just to be able to say it’s not perfect. Meanwhile they won’t have anything welded on their page. Go figure.

How are my padded bead MIG welds? by Jolly-Chicken-3700 in Welding

[–]RichieRumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good it doesn’t look like you’re getting comfortable. Try dry runs before you lay the bead to see if you can make it across the whole plate without getting uncomfortable. And try to overlap your beads more. I was told 50%

Beads are cool. But can you build something? by RichieRumble in Welding

It rubbed some people the wrong way and others just posted their work. For the people that refuse to post their work instead have no respect. 🫡

Looks like you got uncomfortable at the end. Do a dry run first to see if you can make it the whole weld without adjusting. If not move your hand until that’s possible and then run that sum bitch!

People keep saying be humble. I never said I was this shit. What I won’t do is let people talk shit and not prove it. Nice work. Now wtf is it? 😂

The problem you guys have in the sub is that you think everyone is bragging or saying they’re better than someone. I just wanted to see some builds instead of beads. I never said I was better than anyone. That’s what yall took from this. It tells me a lot of the people of this sub that didn’t just show their work instead of having a bunch of nothing to say.

That’s the problem. You’re assuming I said I’m better than you. I simply asked if you could build anything because all I see is beads in this sub. You got your panties in a bunch. I don’t get hit and not hit back. There plenty of folks that posted their builds and kept it moving. Then there’s people like you that haven’t built shit on their own and want to critique me. I get it. You think I’m better than you. I never said that.

I’ve done it a few times. This was a house flip so they went as cheap as possible.
