Hey Chris I have a job in the field tomorrow and need to run .035 dual shield but I forgot to buy the fluxcore drive wheels 😬. You ever tried the dual shield fluxcore with the normal .035 drive rollers is not alot of welding but just to get the job done
Im gonna do a 1" 3G / 4G weld test soon, 0.45 flux wire 100% Co2 , ive never done this with this gas mix. Ive always done C25...any advice guys??? Id really appreciate it...thanks before hand !!!
Sorry bud no offence but your wrong on the dual shield drag welding. You can push no problem. I renew my welding tickets every two years and always push along with many people in our fab shop. And never a problem.
Use that wheel on the rigth side of the mashine to fine dial the wire feed. It is the symbol og the wire length. I do alot of dual shield wire. And use a fronius mashine. Last week i weld over 8pcs off 15kg wire spools. When you do vertical up. You weld should look like the one you did horisontal. And slagg should fall off easy if the machine is on the right settings
@@chris_b_liven when you are welding 3/64 aluminum what is the part numbers for the liner and tips that you used in another video. I am ordering one next week and want to get the right stuff.
Hey im running like 25amps 8-10 hot start -4-(-2)dig and 30-35 gass doing ok but i want a smoother weld puddle any advice? Btw the thickness is anything from 3/8 to 3/4
Great Video Chris! I recently got to use the Dual Shield on an Excavator Boom, and that stuff is Butter Smooth. Glad to know the 2200 will run it just fine. Can't wait for my Transsteel 2200 to get here. I've got 2 Stainless Projects to do, so I'm going to order some Dual Shield for it, and bust the Cherry on my 2200 properly.
+Phillip Chambers Congratulations on the new purchase!!! Dual shield is the ticket especially if your trying to increase deposition. I wanted to try .035 dual shield but it’s not as common
@@chris_b_liven Chris, I have another question. I just saw an older Video of you and ChuckE2009, where you Guys were putting a 2700 thru its paces with some different Wire types. I have always used ER70S6 Solid Wire, what is this Metal Core Wire? Also, what would it's best purpose/uses be? I am a self taught Welder Fabricator, so I have a lot of things to learn about Metallurgy, etc. but I am constantly trying to educate myself everyday on Welding. If someone had an actual Night School for Welding I would go in a heartbeat.
@@Precivilization I will definitely check on that. I looked around several years ago,and couldn't find anything. But there is such a drive right now for Skilled Trades Workers and Training, that it may have changed.
Phillip Chambers Hey sorry for the late response. Metal Cored is similar to flux core but with no flux. One disadvantage would be welding out of position. If I was welding in the flat or horizontal position on 1/4 and above then I would strongly think about metal cored. It increases your deposition and you use about 3-4 volts less in comparison to solid wire. This could assist with welding machine long term wear. Depending on which state you could always jump in a brief course for sure
I would check the wire specifications before you switch gas. I know most wire manufacturers will specify a specific gas mixture for best welding results. It’s possible the wire calls for either 100% or 75/25 . In my opinion, the 75/25 causes less spatter and a more spray type welding cone. 100% C02 will act like it’s in globular mode which doesn’t provide a smooth arc cone. Obviously, the 100% C02 is much cheaper so I would outweigh the benefits from both.

Thanks a lot for the video. Exactly what I was hoping for, except with .035...lol. 035 isn't very common indeed, but I think the machine is more suited to .035. You can order the Lincoln Outershield 71M .035 10LB Spool here weldingsupply.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?PNUM::1:UNDEF:OR:ED026804
