Just found your channel, nice. I have started a channel with my grandchildren "welding with grandad" we are going ok mainly short films. But we are struggling with filming the arc. What do you use for the arc shots. BTW. Nice to see decent welds not stacking dimes crappie. Thanks again grandadwelder 😅
Nice work, inspiring to see your skill and the quality of the results. Why do you purge with nitrogen, is that less expensive than argon? If I may gently suggest, a bit less camera bobbing about in some of the hand-held arc shots would make this easier to watch.
I've only used nitrogen so I can only speak for why we use it and it's less than half the price for nitrogen over argon and because it's not food grade I don't think argon is needed
Just surprised it took R-tech this long to send you a welder. They seem to give them to people in sheds who can barely turn them on let alone do welding so you should have been top of the list from day one!
Hello, have you used that Bambi pt24 compressor for plasma cutting yet and if so how is it? I'm sitting next to one right now but haven't used it yet. Cheers
If you want to get really consistent, learn to feed the wire rather than dabbing it in. The easiest way to do this is to have a half length of wire at home. Feed it smoothly through your fingers when your watching tele. Doesn't take long to get used to it.
I believe synergic is a fancy way of wire speed and volts controlled by the welder so yes it is, but I think u mean what process is it welding in and im not sure it's a mixture of dip and spray transfer
the torch you are using now is a binzel MB 15 AK, that torch has a max duty cycle of 60% at 180A on 85-15 argon/co2, try a MB 24 (240A) or a MB36 (340A) they can handle the power of the machine and are a bit more comfortable in the hand. the MB36 is the same size as your kemppi torch
Hi Arc one, I've been really impressed by your vids and your skills. Can I ask you what apprenticeship you personally did to get this good at pipe fabrication? I want to give it a try and I need to move on from working in kitchens
I have the older version 250K which is branded Unimig here in Australia in my shed at home. I also upgraded the torch from the standard SB24 BINZEL Style MIG Torch to a SB36 BINZEL and run an 81/16/3 argon mix and run 1.0mm ER70-S6, my heavy work welder is a 500-amp Kemppi X5 fastmig and my go to tig is a water cooled Fronius 230I ac/dc
I got the 250 amp version, cracking machine. Was gonna buy a kemmpi or fronius as I'm slowly setting up a side business but the lad in the shop convinced me to try jasic stuff and for less than the money i was gonna spend on the more expensive brand welders i also got a small plasma, a wee suitcase arc welder and a watercooled acdc tig unit! I'll work my way up to be able to afford fancy equipment in time but ive driven the 250 pfc mig to the last trying to see will it overheat and I actually couldn't get it to! Very happy with their gear I must say
😂😂 yeah Homie I have that same gun on my 270 amp Vevor . I literally can’t stand the torch on that machine. I’ve been looking for a new one and really can’t decide.
The "super spatter". Thats a sign of globular transfer. Not dip transfer, not spray transfer, but in between the two. Any tradesman knows that. Where did you serve your apprenticeship? It isnt the torch. Even with 0.8mm, that little Jasic doesnt have the oomph behind it to get into a proper spray transfer.
Great video bud, i have the same issue with Ali, I always find having a decent down slope of about 3 seconds allows you to pulse the button near the end of the run. Keep up the great videos and awesome work. Best true to life welding content on RU-vid.
I guess they wanted to price it around 1500 pounds, so they skimped on a beefier gun. It attracts the pro-diy category and not so much the 'industrial 80+% duty cycle' category..
Nice job👍 my understanding to is the lines a sign of pen/fusion between two edges, some call it a wet line. Shame about the torch, The machine did great
That line shows where the pointed tip at back of the puddle was when it solidified. When you dont see it, just means it wasnt a stable puddle and was moving about. That line shows it was stable and nice and hot. Nothing to do with penetration, and definitely nothing to do with "crystalline structure"
Calvin, great review...im looking to buy the G5 01 but I wanted to ask if you ever feel there should be a gas and particle filter, rather than just particle filter, surely you need gas protection also? Thanks
Now that's a fitter/welder, I went through 4 years of apprentiship to learn that and that was after 2 years of welding school. All I'm saying is this man is a real craftsman. You don't learn this in a week or 2. Looks like good work man. Thanks for explaining your objectives. God bless, and work safe.
So many fitter/welders just jam that flange in tight and weld it. Sometimes that may be ok but on code work I was taught to give it that 1/8" gap inside then weld it. I love that foot pedal. Good job man. God bless. Work safe.
I'm sorry but regardless of how good the weld looks to be I still strongly believe that TIG is a better option that gives you the best and more controlled results and there is no need to go over the top spending that much "crazy money for a good decent welding machine
