MIG Welding, 7018 Stick, & Dual Shield Flux Core 

Love your channel. I was surprised to see the 7018 looked like it had less penetration than the MIG process.

Btw! The tip about using an aluminum block whenever you're TIG welding, really helped me to get that beautiful TIG finish. Thank you :)

I'm only 12 years old and I love welding and I learn something new whenever I watch you videos

Jody is the boss .... how often do you meet people that are this generous with their time and knowledge I wish the uk had our very own 👌

Hey Jody, your videos are great! so glad you mentioned 6011.... it never disappoints... super ez to start ...great for low amp and ac machines.. ez clean up.... no danger of slag entrapment... and it smells good too...

The Lincoln books are also avail. in Canada from Lincoln, Ive used them for over 50 years. They also have videos and items like large sheets of shield material so a group of students can gather around and watch the instructor run a pass. Great source of educational products

Best videos!!! Thanks for the time and effort to present a clear concise lesson.

I love the puppy inserts

Great video on a great little machine!! Love that mp210!!

Thanks for the pointers. You do some really good videos

I was hoping you would show what wire you used for dual shield. Thank you for the great video Jodie. Super informative and helpful.

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and experience!

@7:01 that's what i love about .045 71 FC the slag comes right off. no muss, no fuss. most times you can just use a blower nozzle, or just move on to the next weld, and let it fall off by it's self.

great video; you make awesome videos and I always use them in my classes

Another great video, Tig Finger is a great tool to have and use , thanks..

Great video like always Jody!

Love your videos Jodi. Some of the best if not the

great video man, im still in high school and im trying to pass the D11 test 1/4 inch fillet with 1/8 7018.

Love your videos. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sweden 😊

That machine weld is super awesome

I have the mp 210 as well. It's a good machine for the money. I wish i could put it to work more to make a little side cash. It did good welding my neighbors tractor.

.....11:00 Pushing or pulling......some say pulling gives a little more penetration, but I usually push it....with .035 and C25....people ask if I was TIG welding that steel.....and that dual-shield..... Back in 1985-6 I was welding for a sub-contractor for Aero-Jet...a rocket motor company......and did a whole lot of Dual-shield....welded A36 HRS... 2-4" thick....ran 1/16" wire and C02.....10 hours days...some days I used 2 of the #60 pound rolls....employer bought the stuff by the pallet....30 rolls to a pallet.....usually got one about every month or so.... After welding...the weldments went to the big lathe and got maybe 1/2 the material cut off....making mandrels for missile nose-cones to be wrapped with the first carbon fiber type stuff.... Running that 6010....seems the inverters don't run that rod very well...? and the book....Excellent .....!

At 7:17, picture perfect, but when you did that vertical pass, you had the welder ground clamp directly on the work, and perhaps in equal contact with both pieces being welded together? I think in previous passes you may have had the table clamped and the work resting on the table as lap joints. Perhaps the majority of the welding current was taking the shortest path through the bottom plate to the table, inviting just a wee bit more penetration on the bottom of the weld VS the face that goes into the top piece, as shown in some of your cut away views.

Jody! I watch every video - they are all awesome. might I make a small suggestion/request ? you sometimes have a big difference in audio volume/level between intro and various segments in the videos that makes watching off-hours/late/early a little difficult when all of the sudden the volume ramps up 150% :) not complaining, love your stuff, just an observation.

Love your videos! Nice Dog too!

Awesome welds

As always clear and understandable video. If you don't mind, would it be possible to do a tutorial on mig welding aluminium on the 110v side with a spool gun and with that machine for us "home gamers" Just asking...keep up the cool work I enjoy the vids very much. -Pidge

Nice show.

Can you do a video on welding exhaust tubing with a mig welder. Thank you

As a novice, if welding some small pieces of 1/8" gusseting onto a used trailer suspension (leaf shackles), would I be better off using 7018 stick or flux mig? It will be outdoors and obviously getting the metal super clean would be difficult.

Could you do a review on strong hand adjust-o magnets

How come you weave on a hv fillet with a mig ? I was always taught to keep the wire pointed at the weld root with the wire leading the gun by about 5 -10 degrees . The only time i dragged a wire is vertical down , overhead open butt weld or welding car panels .

have you ever heard of or tried to use a purge box with the smaw process? i wonder how a dual shield would help.

Hey jody would love too see some dual shield run with co2 . I can't get 5kg rolls of dual shield in 1mm in the uk the only stuf I can find is the Hyundai brand that needs co2 which is crazy because this stuff is a weapon 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

thank you, always great video

Hey Jody, Great videos man, I have learned a lot from watching them, so i have a 210 mp as my home hobby machine and aside from the out of round drive roller assembly it runs well. but recently i purchased a cylinder of 90/10 mix and it doesn't want to weld at all, i expected it to spray because with c25 at 25v and 450ipm the machine wants to spray. i think i might have a bottle of incorrect or bad gas because the weld doesnt even want to stick, and at my day job i run axial spray and pulsed spray for over 5 years now so i know what its supposed to act like. my question is...can you run a true spray transfer with your 210mp with er70s6 .035 and 90/10?, the lincoln consumables book suggests that it does but either my machine cant maintain the voltage or i have faulty shielding gas. thanks in advance for your help.

Please test out a firepower 180i 3n1 welder!!! Thanks in advance!!

theres a bookstore in every local trade school that will happily sell you "metals and how to weld them" in Canada.

What are you looking for during the weld to determine if it’s “cold” or “hot”?

hello very good video I see that you are a true teacher I would like to ask you for meters of regulation for an upward welding in wire of 1.2 flux core the piece to be welded is an IPM so it is called here is a steel beam in the form of i I would appreciate your response, greetings from Argentina

Which helmet are you using? I don't stay up-to-date with the aspect of welding as much as I should. Esab A50 Sentinel may well be my new helmet.

Noticed the grinded file, with teeth. Should be efficient. Nice machine..

What etching fluid are you applying to get such crisp lines in the weld nugget!? Looks great!

I happen to get a hold of that book at the end, but it says second edition, which looks like it first got printed in 1962. Idk how old this book is, though, since it shows how many were printed during its 16th printing, in 1978. Do you think a lot has changed in the industry, since then? Im wondering how much is irrelevant now, if anything at all. Thanks for sharing another informative video, as thay always are. Aloha

Also what is this short arc mig vs globular transfer or spray transfer? Is this all performed with the same machine and just different settings so the weld applies to the parent metal in a different manner? Thanks for all you do!

hello sir can you please explain about temper bead welding technic. thanks :)

Thanks, now please do the same with a Miller 215 so I know which one to buy.

Just curious what tig set up did you use?? The one that comes witg it or the one that is sold in the weldmonger store..

Which would you prefer dual shield or spray arc?

My slag comes off like cement stuck to rebar. lol

I have messed with this, how about a video on field repair on livestock panels. 18 to 16 gauge. I have done stick and inner shield, but I would like your opinion.

You ever wonder if the worm holes are made by spatter beads under the flux?

What is the chemical used when you are doing the cross section inspection?

Thank You

Thank you

Good video. I've been running Hobart 7018 and welds good but the slag is like concrete. Is it not enough amps or what? Any suggestions?

Whats the advantage to a mig root then stick weld over it?

what about dual shield with 100% argon? Would that work?

The new Vulcan harbor freight welder review? They say theirs is "comparable"?

what's the name of the liquid for make weld penetration have seen?

Are you going to test out any of the new vulcan welders coming out from the good ole harbor freight?

I wanna see that file modification!!

I am having issues with lincoln 71m .035 dual shield in the flat position. With the numbers that J D was using on his machine in this video, I would be very interested to see a cut and etch in the flat position. My cut and etch in the flat position with those settings show next to no penetration. I see alot of cut and etch from vertical up dual shield but none in the flat. Does anyone know of any videos of cut and etch of dual shield in the flat position with these similar settings and inverter machines?????

Can I run Dual Shield in a Lincoln weld-pak 3200

Hi jody could you tell me how to convert volts to amps? because my mig welder shows me the power in amps. Thank you

Weld Sensei!

Hey Jodi, I was wondering if you could do a video on the tensile strength of mig welds and how you would judge or figure that out as stick electrodes are clearly rated in their number code

Having a little trouble with the dual shield 0.035 wire and the 210 MP. I do not get the puddle to flow properly and at times the wire burns right off at the nozzle. I am welding smaller pieces and thinner steel (filling a hole in a steel shovel). quite frustrating. Can you give me a starting point for using this machine and the dual shield for 16-18 ga, mild steel. I am using 100% Ar - could that be a problem? Thanks for the help.

Hi Jodi, try a wire, stick rod made by high performance products (hpp) this company makes spectacular products.

I am new to welding. What is "Short circuit MIG" and what is "Spray MIG"?

Hey Jody. Where can I purchase 71m wire from. My local welding shop can order it but I'd like to cut out the middle man if I could.

...What are you using for etchant..? I used to use nitric acid, but due to EPA it's hard to buy now....

Wat can of polarity used with gas or out of gas my Lincoln say not gas electrode --- neg but about with gas???

what rod would you recommend I'm going to build a engine stand with 3/16 tubing.

Hey Jodi witch spool gun would you recommend. I'm also running a 210mp off a 250 gxt

Thanks you for metrics

At 1:30 is that just water?

210 mp vs the new kid on the block "Vulcan 220" from harbor freight?

How much is the machine

On 7018 1.9 minutes on how many inches?

If it fails: Grinder & paint make me the welder I aint!

What's your flux ocislation, Or do you just drag ?

Do some vids on pulse arc mig .045 wire

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice, and you ride a jeep, so you're perfect :)

All Americans love spatter..... Lincoln electric and Miller produce massive spatter...... I Europe nobody's use this machines. We love Fronius , Oerlicon . Esab . Kempi. Wire diameter in Europe 0.8mm 1.0mm 1.2mm. 1.6mm solid wire.

Not enough gas flow 30 to 40 cubic feet

Very educational. I can always watch your videos more than once and get something out of them. Have you heard of something called an "Arc Pig" and would you be willing to do a review on it? Its a High-Frequency Welding Arc Starter / Arc Stabilizer You can find it on arcpig.com

I don't like the control panel on that machine!

I'm in Ireland, and planning to buy a MIG welder this autumn. Looking at a SWP Redline 210, from these guys : www.wholesaleweldingsupplies.ie/index.php?route=product/category&path=43_81Thanks for the videos, very helpful!

Can you do a video on setup for aluminium pulse mig please?
