@CTSCAPER 4 года назад

Really appreciate videos like this. I'll never do code work but it's very interesting how you stacked everything in your favor. Landing plate, clean metal, starting bead outside of the groove, a welder with hot start, dig function, favorite welding helmet, gloves that fit and let you move your fingers. I need to put more effort into my projects at home to make them this good.

@christophermcmichael880 5 лет назад

I'm not in school for welding. I have done it in High School back in the 80's but now I'm doing it on the side at my place of employment. I'm kind of learning through trial and error. I weld on a lot of thin and rusty steel. Trying to weld overhead, vertical and horizontal is a big challenge for me. I use a Miller Bobcat 225 diesel welder and trying to dial in my amperage settings is a challenge cause the dial only has numbers from 1 to 10. It doesn't literally show me my amperage setting. However. I have learned and actually used some of Bob's methods from his older videos. It would be great to see a video on setting a basic generator/welder with just a number dial. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching for more SMAW videos.

I’m 19 in welding school right now on a scholarship, $4,000 of the $4,250 will be paid for as long as I get certified in at least one position. COVID 19 cut my school year 9 weeks short and spring break turned to summer. Now we’re back for summer classes. Long story short, I have two days left of summer school to finish my 1 inch plate 3G cert. If I fail, It’s quite possible I’ll then owe $4,000 to the school; and since there wasn’t any time for a practice certification beforehand(like there normally is here), this is my only shot. Plates are cut and grinded up pretty, just need tacking and all the passes... wish me luck.

@headbussa0065 3 года назад

For my root I don’t start so far down on backing strap because I want the rod to make it past the middle part of the plate. So I try to stop at the top part of the plate and restart. Also I run slower at bottom of the plate so puddle can build up more because normally at the top of the plate the heat makes the weld come out higher

@curtisvonepp4335 5 лет назад

I allways start in the middle installing Backup strips and work to the outer edge both ways if you weld both outer edges first you will Warp the backup strip or put a bow in it .😎

@crazyryan2689 3 года назад

I'm attending Daytona State College and we're getting ready for our 1st cert in 7108 3g and 4g. I'm super nervous because this is my one chance to get a career going on this. I had to resign from my last career due to lower back complications. But since I've been in this class, my complications have been very minimal. Plus I just had a daughter 9 months ago so the thought of her is pushing me on this. My teacher believes I will pass, but it still makes me nervous.

@hardstyle8184 5 лет назад

Obviously they are gonna toss away mid plate where the tie in was on the root (CWI ain’t gonna use that portion of coupon), but was expecting a better tie in on the root pass. Little undercut on the right side of that root tie in (it happens to us all). Still a good weld though. And he’s welding D1.5 (Bridge Welding Code) on top of D1.1 (Structural Welding Code) if you viewers didn’t notice. That’s a good thing. Anybody see that also? He’s doing D1.1 & D1.5 👍🏼

@geoffmooregm 5 лет назад

The book indicates where the bends come from. 1" either side of center for a welder and 2" for a welding operator. If a welder has a re start in that area that's too bad they better get it right.

@GodslilRedneck23 5 лет назад

Hardstyle818 that’s how I was certified through the hall D1.1 and D1.5. 1” 3G and 4G. No power tools. You’re right about the tie-in though. It looks way worse on camera 😂.

@geoffmooregm 5 лет назад

@@GodslilRedneck23 Basically the "As Fit Up" is the point where the CWI will make you re fit the joint. If it is within those tolerances your ok to start welding.

@lorton4life 4 года назад

Not trying to question your knowledge. But just to Make sure I heard correct or you meant what you said. A root opening of 3/16 to 9/16 with a backing strip? That’s new to me usually it’s 1/4 backing 1/4 gap +- 1/16 on 3/8 plate that is.

@weldingclassroom7171 2 года назад

Not nitpicking however the statement about D1.1 "Requiring" Mill scale to be removed is incorrect. "Loose scale, thick scale, and rust...." are addressed. Still, another incredible video!!!

Hi just a quick question. I am welding my cwb vertical 3g and our plates are 90 degrees and 30 degrees. I was told to do a root stringer on both sides with stops and starts. Then all the following passes are in a weave. Is this up to the discretion of the inspector or would stringers be more widely accepted?

@fusiongurudotcom8195 5 лет назад

Just a question do you or do you not discard the eans of the plate 1/2" or so? I think for the bend test but maybe not for the visual inspection? Also what about grinding out the crater where you stopped and started?

@GodslilRedneck23 5 лет назад

RMTX 25 for a bend yes you start at the center and measure 1” either side of center, from there you measure 1-1/2” past the 1” mark. Those 1-1/2” sections are what get bent. The visual only applies to the welded plate the entire run on/run off tabs get cut off and are not inspected. You shouldn’t have any craters on your test plate. They have to be filled in to the entire cross section.

@duncanmacfarlane8672 5 лет назад

Enjoyed it very much. How thick in mm must the backing plate be. I enjoyed the half moon or U shaped welding teqnique in vertical.is a vertical up weld better than vertical down and why is that?

@GodslilRedneck23 5 лет назад

Duncan Mac Farlane for this one I used a 6.35mm thick piece but usually run a 9.5mm. For this process being used in a structural application vertical up is better because you get better penetration. On an open root you can run up or down depending on the electrode you’re using and the code you’re working to.
