Thanks for the video. I am thinking of getting a welder. I have only a very small shop which is mainly a wood shop. I suppose I am asking for a fire by taking up welding in it? Can you comment? I do not even have a metal table.
Your a incrediable welder and your videos are top notch we all need each other to share and learn from, welders are in a class of our owne the art of the trade can be pretty unforgiveing at times frustrateing the heck out of us, but when we have guys and girls produce videos and share there views and experiences wiith the intent to help anyone who may see these videos makes me very proud to be in this field even though things can be pretty harsh for us welders, kuto's to all who share for the better enjoy.
First of, thanks for this comment brother. Thank you so much! And you are right about the sharing of information. I’m just showing my experience and mistakes so that other folks can learn from them.
Thank you so much for this video. I love the honesty, good and not so good. At work we are looking to repair or replace our 80's era Syncrowave 500. I was wondering how the Primeweld models were doing with 6010, so this helps me a lot. Looking for something that runs on 480 volts though. I'm hearing a lot of good about Primeweld.
This prime Weld is an excellent machine. Will struggle with 6010’s however on the fillers. Idk why it worked really good on roots and when I moved to hot pass, it would sputter. Definitely a good machine however. Specially since it’s AC/DC. Really just use it for aluminum as I have a max star 210. Which is my favorite stick and Tig welding machine so far.
I think we can all agree if our friend can make and produce stick welds like he can we all can and am so happy we are shareing our views and information on what can and can't be done with what I think is an incrediable welding machine and a company who actually cares enough to listen and change things as we share them with them way to go thanks to all of you.
@@VantageWelding dang! You were going to save us alot of money in not buying a beveling machine. My son wants to make BBQ pits and to rollers were perfect for 20in pipe
@arthurquintana1345 hey brother. Get with @illestefpanda on instagram. If you can get a hold of him, he can build you some. He was the guy that was making them.
Wish i chose welding as a career path. I hate sitting in an office at a desk listening to patient complaints and keep a quality hospital. 10yrs nursing. Current quality control director. Blah. Boring stuff. My brother are all trades workers. They all weld like my dad. Me, office rat. Lol. Idk one thing about it. But, looks fun burning rods.
I machined one once that was about that diameter but the housing was probably 3 times as long.. the rough casting came with an invoice that said $37,000 before anything was done to it
@@VantageWelding I wish I knew what the finished part cost but almost 40k for material was enough to make me nervous. We used to make 3 or 4 a year out of 316 for the same company so I was pretty confident in my program and setup but I still wish I hadn't seen the price of the casting before I started it.. the pump housing went into a product called a RI Disintigrator for Bepex International if you want to see how big they are
Pretty sick. Anything can be done in welding if you try hard enough and to be able to do stainless without a purge is even better. Why kinda gap and amps were you running
Thanks. And definitely it can be done for sure. Just need to fine tune. I used 1/8 gap with nickel size landing. Ran it around 60 amps. If I had someone on the remote (kind of like a Pipeliner way) to turn up and down it would be more consistent. As the rod burns, it gets hotter and hotter, so you’d need to turn amperage down as the rod progresses. It’s what I figured. Restarts should be started around 70 amps, then once fused back down to 60, then down with the progression of rod. I think 😅. It’s just a theory
@@VantageWelding I think for the most part a lot of stainless rods weld just like you said. They heat way up as the rod progresses. It definitely does on the 308-309 I’ve used before
@@VantageWelding Thank you sir! Your videos can help to show the craft to the younger generation. They are our future! So we must encourage and show them both welding and torch "etiquette" My mentor is in his 80's and was a nuclear grade welder who helped build Grand Gulf power plant.
I like to put a long bolt through the flange hole and turn it like the leg on the trailer when and auto isn’t available great work I think my trick will take the waves out of your plasma bevel because the turning will be more smooth and controlled less stop and start but I’m just an old fool ignore me great work keep it up
You are right brother. I actually use a beveling machine. But was testing the rollers heads we are using to check the truenes. I should have used a chain clamp. Very good observation. Thanks for watching
