Experimenting With Pulsed Stick Welding! Revolutionary New Welding Technique! 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A WELDING VIDEO

HTP makes a extremely high end quality machine. Have had my 221 for 9 years. With daily use, it’s not as pretty as when new, but still functions like new. I blow it out regularly with the compressor and that’s it! Keep the videos coming at us, LANSE!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This seems like a very logical technological advancement. I look forward to striking an arc on a machine with this function.

Noice! Wow!! I've wondered why a pulse function was not available for stick welding. I guessed it had no effect. I have a DC only Everlast PU205, so could not "rig" a pulsing Tig function to experiment on. Now Stretch's viewers know! Thanks Chuck! Paul from S. Central TX.

Awesome tutorial !!! ... thanks a mint !!!

HTP makes good equipment....

Hola estimado! Por favor traduzca a español!!!!!! Desde ya muchas gracias! Saludos desde Argentina!

Regarding "welding" - I weld for a living. I weld car bodywork, specifically older cars - usually expensive older cars because I'm also expensive. In my workshop, I have,many welding machines. They are littered about. Most are pretty 'spendy machines. What I never mention to anyone IRL but do mention on YT is I only use the cheapest machine in the place. The others all just sit there looking expensive, The welder I actually use cost 200 quid - so is supposedly "a piece of junk" - because more dearer is more better, right? Not always. In the case of car bodywork, "How low can it go?" matters more than how Shiny it is. Also, how much useability does it retain when you crank it right down to 1? 99% of welding machines I have used crap-out when you dial them back to 1. The 200 quid "POS" is as smooth at 1 as it is at 5 - to date, barring a €1600 Kemppi machine an apprentice broke (it was also an absolute weapon at setting 1) - none of the spendy machines are any use. The POS is equal to the Kemppi, so why drop the 1600 again? I can take the same roll of wire - put it into 10 machines for you to try & you will agree that the 200 POS runs it the best. The kicker here is I use flux-core wire. Specifically 0.6mm flux core wire. Nobody uses 0.6mm flux core wire. I do not use shielding gas. I have an even bigger "POS" welder that cost €100 - with 0.6mm flux core wire, it will weld steel that is tinfoil thick - however it is so slow on bigger weld runs, I don't bother with it much - but it will weld stuff no other mig machine set-up is capable of. None. It will weld 0.5mm steel sheet without blowing holes all day every day. Your mig will not do that with solid wire & gas. I try explain to people the benefits of flux-core & a machine that will go real low on power - for example, there's no distortion - none, With gas-shielded, you weld a panel, it warps like crazy, go as slow as you like, do the "cool each tack" crap - whatever - the panel will warp like mad. When you finish the run, it will look like a topographical map. With flux-core, you can weld right across a 30cm panel joint - allowing each tack 1 maybe 2 seconds to cool between tacks - a continuous run of weld - and there will be ZERO warping. None. You will stop caring about welding warpage as there will be none even if you do nothing to counter it. The HAZ - to get technical - is so miniscule with flux-core, no warping occurs. Why that doesn't sell the process to every car body repair person baffles me. No Warping? That's bloomin amazing. No buying gas??? Hit one button to have the welder ready to go??? Hit one button to turn it off?? I firmly believe that gas-shielded mig for car bodywork is one of the greatest follies tool people fall into - it is so crap in comparison to flux-core it's not right. It won't weld the real thin stuff. It causes crazy panel distortion. The machine & the gas are expensive (relevant but irrelevant). It's 80% slower. You have to grind down welds for about 200% longer (flux-core is a much flatter, softer weld). It's about 60% weaker (flux core penetrates like crazy - a tiny tack hangs on like you would not believe). I could bore ye all for a lot longer - but "Zero Distortion!" - that should be why you try it if for no other reason.

Wow! That's very interesting. Wonder how the old timer welders would like it.

Some company tried to do this, mechanically, about 25 years ago. Eastwood used to sell'em. It was called a "stitch welder" Basically a solenoid with a handle, that hooked into an AC stick welder. The rod got moved, back and forth (like maybe a millimeter) 60 times per second. I didn't use it much, but it seemed to work pretty well on thin sheetmetal.

You should try an Lincoln SA 200. The beads lay themself

I wish you would have cut and etched a sample! It would be nice to see the cross-section of the weld. Nice video, don't know why I haven't found this channel sooner.

The new Forney ST 180 (SKU 321) is pulse capable.

can't imagine a benefit in thick structural members?

Pulsed welding was developed for less spatter especially on stainless and aluminum. AL B.

Chucky I do have to say that's a great video that you've done and also to I found that my primeweld tig225x also pulses on the stick function. I found that my welder does pulse on the stick operation the middle of last year from a gentleman doing a yeswelder with using a switch to pulse with. Video I watch was on DIY homestead he was using a switch on his stick function to post the stick welding.

Would have to do a weld test in order to believe it gets the same penetration. Or just as easy to get the same pen. Cool idea, I have a hard time with change lol

Nice video and content. I’m trying to learn about this pulse feature. I believe that my Fronius transpocket 180 has it, but I haven’t much time to mess with since I bought it.

pulse is for thinner material

you can always repost the vise build you did in your family's garage or build a new one.

Chucke2009? Who's that? Lol 😏

👍💪

OMG A SHILL VID!

pulse stick ---just do mig

In 5 years we'll be able to buy a Chyna knock off for $120 with pulse...:)

Arc pig is cheap~ish...🙂
