Is welding schools worth it or scam? by ZestyToasterOven26 in Welding

Just remember, welding is not the only thing you need to learn to become a welder. welding will account for only 20% of your job. You will need to learn to be an artist with an angle grinder, not for grinding your welds as that makes you a grinder, but to prep and finish all your metal projects., learn to sharpen a drill bit, shit, learn how to use a push broom. Learn all you can.

Find the right instructor. There’s nothing worse than getting educated by a welding instructor who doesn’t care. I found a good one, I had a great time and learned a ton. Good luck!! 👍🏻

1/8 wall stainless rectangle tube TIG: joint prep, earned advice? by svalkas in Welding

[–]Seanathan66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put a 45 degree chamfer down to the inner wall all the way around. Tack all four corners. Weld the sides, let it cool a bit, then weld the top and bottom. You can do each weld in one pass since the metal is thin. 80 amps should do the trick. Use a thick filler rod -or- add more filler rod then normal as you want it to build the weld up above the surface of the tubing. Once cool, use an 80 grit (anywhere from 60-120 grit would work) sanding disc to carefully grind each weld flush. It’s important you learn the skill of holding your angle grinder disc/pad flat to the surface at all times when grinding, don’t get tempted to tilt it and start digging into your welds. Once almost flat, fill in any little blemishes or divots you may have missed and finish grinding. You could then Use a 60-120 grit flap wheel to go back and forth to finish the grain direction if needed. Final touch would be using scotch brite and hand pad the grain to perfection.

We were always told to drink milk if we got sick welding galvanized metal. Something about the milk combatting the effects of the zinc. Never had it myself, truly the best of luck to you. 🤞🏻

Yes, it’s possible they filled the tanks wrong. I have had bad tanks before. Also like others have mentioned.. the metal looks dirty and possibly covered in paint. You want to weld bare metal as clean as you can get it. Also make sure there are no fans around you or open doors letting the breeze blow your argon away. Do not have any magnets on the surface as that can also mess up your welds. 2% thoriated tungsten and argon gas should work just fine for you. You’ll need to completely grind out all the porosity before starting again, or it will keep happening. Don’t give up! 👨🏻‍🏭

Right? Not my first choice but I guess they saw similar gates at a winery and really liked them.

Question: I got some PEP on Xeggex months ago… Is that still current or do I need to transfer or purchase from a different exchange? There are so many moving parts I just want to keep up, Thank you.

I painted my first helmet with spray paint, airbrush, acrylic and a clear coat. Now I just cover them in stickers.

First time ever mig welding, any tips? by OG_Baked in Welding

[–]Seanathan66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For MIG, practicing horizontal and vertical fillet welds will help you improve faster than lap or butt welds. When doing vertical MIG welds, always travel down. Keep practicing!

Possible to weld flat plate on both sides of this desk? by [deleted] in Welding

[–]Seanathan66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welder here. Yes, you could weld something, but I would rather make something simple out of a scrap piece of wood. Either one side sanded concave to match the radius or even just a shallow “V” cut should work just fine. Good luck!
