Clear Arc Shots & Plain Talk to help you Pass a Test, Fix Stuff, Build Stuff, Get a Raise, Build a Better Life.
Disclaimer: These videos are intended for entertainment and inspiration. Welding is dangerous. Always seek professional advice and training before using welding equipment. If you have any uncertainty before performing any welding task, stop and learn a safer method. Do not attempt welding simply because you saw it in one of my videos. Download ANSI z49.1 and read it before doing any welding. you can download ansi z49.1 at aws.org Summary: be smart, use common sense, and respect electricity and welding equipment.
Just went from steel to aluminum at school. I gotta master that backing off the arc length when feeding. In comparison to steel it feels like the aluminum puddle rises more.
I'm old school and when it comes to welding I love shielded metal arc welding AKA stick welding why because that's what I grew up doing and that's all I care about I've tried other things such as Mig and TIG welding and that didn't work out so well not as good as arc welding because I just love scratching a stick and getting right to it no need to worry about gases or any other crap added on or anything like that just strike the arc and you're all good
Hi Jody! I want to thank you for your videos. I started watching your training videos in 2020 when i was an unemployed chef. Now after 2.25 years of school for welding and machining I have finally found potential apprenticeship programs in various industries. I hope I succeed! I cant wait to start!!! Thank you!!
Always greatbrefreshers on the things you never use but need to be familiar with because when You need to use it it’s in your hard hard drive between those 2 ears.. ✅
I have a pacemaker. They tell me no welding over 100 amps. What kind of welding could I consider doing? Not a lot of experience. Little stick. Little mig. No tig. Thinking aluminium might take lower heat so less current. Just want to build some little brackets for antennas and things like that?
Very interesting, I guess we were all very sceptical about this system so it'll be interesting to follow your future videos about it. Thanks for sharing as usual 🙏
The laser has a wavelength of 1070 nm which is in the infrared. This means no UV sunburn or arc eye. Eye safety however is critical. You must block this wavelength from reaching your eyes.
Question: Where is PrimeWeld made at? Answer: Like any budget brand, Primeweld is made in China. AND EVERYONE should BE AWARE that they are no different than Apple having their iphones made in china or nike making air jordans there (because it's cheep to make and makes the companies more money as in China it's cheeper because they are using slave labor and no one , not even here , is saying a word about it. Why not?
Good evening sir’s please am also pipeline welding please sir I need all na help please apply me for work please help me sir’s god will bless you all in Jesus name Amen
Thanks Jody. It's great to see a laser welding video by an actual expert welding channel, on what looks like high end equipment, rather than some random car building channel using unknown Chinese machines they bought from AliExpress. I look forward to the other parts.
I’m very concerned after looking at their website. Typos, spelling errors, everywhere (Look at the specs) Currency instead of current Focus “lenght” “176bl” instead of “176lb” The overall writing really smacks of “not written by a native English speaker”… Is this some knockoff stuff?
After using a Miller inverter tig machine in place of my near 20-year-old machines, I am in the market for a new tig. I build race cars for 35 years now using 4130 rounds in 1.625" and smaller, use SS and Ti for headers in 1.75"-5".. Very interested in the laser welding process but would like to speak with skilled experienced tig welders whom now using laser welding process on applications like mine... As most will agree there is a significant difference in required skill sets between welding flat stock on a bench {as in vids} vs welding round tube on intricate structures....
Great weld on lap or tee joint. How would it work on plug welds? For example large 1/16 5052 aluminum sheet on work surface, 1/4 6061 machined component underneath and a small hole to weld through. Tough to get puddle in the thick underneath piece before blowing away the thin sheet. Thoughts? Trials? Please.
This is why you're one of the top sources of information and instruction for welders, experienced as well as novice. Just plain knowledge, no bs or fluff. Awesome.
Just like everyone else I’ve seen the videos on RU-vid Facebook and instagram. Never any information so I assumed it was a prototype I work with lasers so I know they have crazy abilities but I can’t wait to learn more. It’s great that it’s from someone I and others trust. Jody has taught me things I wasn’t taught in school. So I hope he answers all our questions. Like a lot of us the price point is probably crazy and even if it’s the greatest welder of all time it won’t even matter.
It would be interesting to learn how a laser welder differs from TIG in all ways such as gas type & consumption, surface prep (specular vs mill scale), realistic consumable tooling (yes, tungsten is consumed), power requirements, maintenance (coolant, etc), and of course, capital investment in equipment. Seems to me that this tech is very cool but not yet appropriate for a weekend hobbyist in his garage due to cost & safety concerns.
