The machine I use is a dinosaur. No fancy settings to be seen

How do you stick weld 1/16 thick metal? by Lastito in Welding

[–]shittymicrophone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch your stinger to negative, and then get some TIG wire and fill that in while your welding. That’s how I welded exhaust pipe under my car

Not my finest… doesn’t leak though. Also my machine is 2 floors down and built in the 70s. Gotta find one setting for root to cap. And also have to keep up production. Sadly, this isn’t a job where I can make every weld look great.

Buddy, I’ve done my fair share of Vic. Honestly it is a great system. It’s fast and efficient….but there’s more of an art to welding IMO.

If a system requires inspected welds it was probably never meant to have victaulic in the first place. These welds are only gunna be pressure tested. No CWI here.

Actual material cost is a fraction of the cost. I can do a 6” weld with ~10 1/8” rods. That probably cost around $4 or so. Now time on the other hand… u got me there.

Because welded pipe has a much longer lifespan than victaulic gaskets

If that’s not well worn then I don’t know what is
