HAHA, don't feel bad, I'm the same way...what's that saying? I think its something like this "A grinder makes me the welder I ain't. I can weld, it don't look pretty, but it works. No I wouldn't build anything that needs to support any sort of heavy weight, but putting a side piece back on a trailer, repairing the pedal/wheel retainers on an old Radio Flyer tricycle, yeah I can do that stuff, but I don't trust any of my welding for structural/weight requirements. I maybe pickup the MIG gun once or twice a year for maybe a 1/2 hour at the most....so, every time I use one I have to learn it all again LOL.

I actually gave up on welding about 15 years ago bc the teacher was an absolute hard ass. Made it hell trying to learn. So after losing my temper after a few times of being belittled I just stopped and hadn't thought of learning to weld for a long time. Now I'm older and have learned many skilled trades my son asked me why I didn't know welding and I explained the story and he said "dad you can literally learn anything on RU-vid" this is the first video I found and I love it.

🏆👏👍 I have now watched many how-to flux core welding videos and Tim's is by far the best. He's a natural teacher. He explains everything well and does so slowly, and you quickly see how a pro would do it. The camera work (tripod!) and narration and delivery are professional-calibre. I immediately leave other videos where a tripod isn't used for the camera and/or they have an annoying and distracting "music" soundtrack blasting away in the background-- often rap or heavy metal. Tim shows you make a great how-to video. He's my go-to guy for learning how to weld at an older age. He's the Chris Fix of learning to weld. Thanks, Tim!

You perfectly cut in all the steps showing us with a dry run and the actual welding and the final product to really show what doing the tecnique looks like, it's extremely helpful. I've never welded but this is the kind of instruction that leaves me no doubt it's something I could easily add to my workshop. Thanks! But I've gotta ask, is the next video going to be repairing the broken vice? Would that be by welding or brazing?

@robertblackshear8963 Год назад

Hi Tim. I recently welded up a new trailer hitch with my titanium 125 and it did excellent. I could only run it on half the settings or it would have blown through. It dug in there like it should. These are some good fluxcore welders. But I do have 28 years professional experience also. That does help lol.

@melgross 2 года назад

As always, Tim, very well presented. I recommend your channel to people starting out. What’s good is that you stick to the idea that you’re going to help those new to this, and don’t go wandering off into esoteric presentations that will get people confused. I think we’ve discussed this before, but I also bought the Titanium 125. I use it in my shops where moving my ESAB 205 is a hassle, and I need smaller welds for items often milled where parts have to be locked together before welded more permanently in another area. For that certainly, it’s a great welder. I’ve used it for more than that though as a became more confident in it. Yes, the ESAB, as a $3,000 machine, does flux core better, but that’s for heavier work. I recommend the Titanium for those beginning in this.

@kensmapleleafretirement 2 года назад

Thank you, Tim. I have been stick welding for a couple years and it is getting better but I keep burning holes in thinner things like horseshoes. They are about a 1/4 inch thick and I am always blowing holes in them. So, I ordered a cheap MIG welder this morning and I am hoping it will work better on thinner projects. I have watched a dozen of your video and learned a lot. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your fine-quality video and instruction. You are doing a great job and I appreciate your time. Be well...

@traviscarr6536 2 года назад

Yeah 1/4 inch isn’t thin by any means. You should be able to weld 16 - 18 gauge material without burning through. Has to be the wrong rods, wrong amperage.

@dolphincliffs8864 2 года назад

Check the polarity on your machine and match it to what the wire calls for. I bought some E71 T11 and wondered why the work was red hot. Polarity was on DCP and the wire called for DCN.

@Keith-jp6jw Год назад

Try different rods and mess around with your machine, it’s possible to stick weld sheet metal

@Dan-Jack_does 2 года назад

E71T-11 wire has a defined minimum spec, including being multi pass (as I understand the AWS standards..). E71T-GS is an open spec, usually single pass wire - so wires from different manufacturers do not have to be similar and can have different formulations and performance - some will suit your needs, some won’t. (My cheap fcaw machine came with a roll of no name GS wire that actually worked very well - I just can’t source any more of it!). I keep both a specific GS wire (Inetub BA71TGS works for me) and a specific T11 wire on hand, and use whichever suits a particular job best - no different to having a selection of MMA rods available. Wire selection makes an overwhelming difference in performance with fcaw, in my experience (even more so on galvanised steel), definitely worth finding the wire that best suits your set up, materials and circumstances.

@kevinpunter7960 2 года назад

As an absolute novice that's soaking up everything I can learn .. this was a great video. THANKS! Flux core MIG will probably be the most common thing I do moving forward. I've just ordered a "middle of the range" multi-process machine that'll do gas and gas-less welding (It'll even TIG weld but from my early understanding, a AC/DC purpose designed TIG welder is more desirable) ... not that I'll be jumping into TIG welding any time soon!

I bought the Everlast to learn TIG and your videos were very helpful in bringing me to a level of acceptable welds on steel and aluminum. My machine can do FluxCore as well, which can be useful outdoors when breezes will wreak havoc with standard MIG gas flow. Thanks for all the tips. BTW you might have mentioned that, when using FluxCore on a standard MIG machine, knurled rollers usually replace normal "V" or "U" rollers.

@andrewbieger5004 2 года назад

Great video, Tim, as per your usual content. The part about cutting the joint apart to verify the penetration was WAY cool. It can be deceiving to see a 'good' bead for thicker metals, although the joint is NOT necessarily good for strength. I would like to see your techniques for multiple passes (thicker metals), since the wire here is single pass only.

@zod-engineering-welding 2 года назад

Just a note @ 2:18 you can see that the wire is not sitting in the groove on the drive roll. This is very important to note because the guide tube is always over-sized and does not guarantee that the wire will end up within the groove it needs to be. If you close the idler without verifying this it will lead to feeding issues. Always have to verify and make sure to push the wire into the groove as you're closing the idler arm to make sure it lands where it needs to be.

@tankaaron3776 Год назад

Pretty sure the wire isn't against the roller and thus in the groove until he clamps the other wheel down.

I believe doing multiple pass welds with a single pass wire doesn't offer additional strength

@viisteist1363 2 года назад

probably gets contaminated too much or smth

@5TheFlyingFarmer5 2 года назад

"Single pass" Flux core contains manganese which work hardens and adds strength, so multipass with these electrodes can add too much manganese causing the weld to become too hard/brittle and fail.

Thank you so much! Just bought my first machine and trying to learn as much as I can.

Great work Tim. The last bit showing (lack of) penetration was icing on the cake for me.

Best demo and explanation I've seen. I could certainly use some improvement in my welding.

Just starting out as a Hobby, Got a Lincoln 140. Thank you for a beginner-level run-down. I have yet to weld and am searching for as much information as I can get.

Best video on this subject on the net. Thanks so much. Also for us in Australia, thanks for the Metric.

Thanks, I have done some welding as a amateur and I liked your approach to this. Very good video.

I just wanted to say thank you, I bought a mig welder to solve some problems in my garage. I was getting my ass kicked until I watched a few of your videos and put the pieces together. MUCH APPRECIATED!
