Overhead welding with 7018 gave me fits when I was in welding school.
But once I figured out that I needed to set the amps to almost as hot as I would weld in flat and horizontal, things went smoother....as long as I used a tight arc.
The same goes for 5/32" 7018. And if you have the arc control setting aka "Dig" on some machines, setting it high allows you to drop the amps just a bit to 165and still not stick the rod.
Machines all weld differently so your amperage may vary, but I hope this video gets you going in the right direction.

Used your vids to help me learn how to run 5/32 overhead last weekend for a job where I had never used it before. Got the full time job offer with them yesterday. Thanks a ton

Jody makes I nicer weld than I ever have and says: "This just shows I need a lot more practice". Damn. Right in the feels.

I bought a tig finger when I was learning 6G and I don't know how I would have passed the test without it. I know you've heard it a million times but still, thanks.

@goldneckprospecting4534 2 года назад

Awesome video. I've been in the welding industry for 16 years now and recently started a mobile welding business, I always like your videos I like to watch other welders and their techniques. Always got to have a bag of tricks for different circumstances.

Your videos have learned me to weld. Just burned of 120 7018 rods first job first day.watched 30 min of your overhead videos thanks

@waynemartin7760 2 года назад

Thank you Jody for another very educational stick welding video! I really appreciate the shots showing a tight arc - the more of these the better. I’d watch a whole video of nothing else because this helps me know what to look for. I’ll watch this video many times over.

@sfurq2954 2 года назад

Your 7018 videos got me through my d1.5 3g,4g test and now have successfully completed smaw, after repeating the 7018 videos hundreds of times I’m now onto .072 wire d1.1 3g, 4g & d1.8

Great vid Jody, as a beginner l could watch your basic stick welding vids all day long, you can never do too many of them.

Best overhead video period

@NickFrom1228 2 года назад

Great to see another video Jody. I see you are still exercising that 210 MP. Those things have sure gone up in price as people realized how good they are. Watching you demonstrate how not to weld overhead sure takes me back to my learning days. I vividly remember laying under our bailer welding something up, slag dripping on me, molten metal doing the same. Luckily, if you can call it that, we had an asbestos blanket that we would put over us when we had to lay under something. But as we know, asbestos isn't a good thing. I can still remember taking the blanket off and seeing all the fibers float off in the air. I cringe thinking about it now days.

@WildWestGarage 2 года назад

Always enjoy your videos. I haven’t had much opportunity to do any stick welding lately, I miss it. Thank you.

@kylen1922 2 года назад

I have been welding for about 9 yrs now with no formal training and I realy enjoy your vids. I have learned allot. Just did a large welding job allot over head realy wish I had watched this video before hand my feet would have appreciated it lol. I always weld top to bottom on vertical, is there any benefit to welding the other way?

Great video! 7018 is well known electrodes. What about 8010, 11018? 😉 It would be great to get your professional opinion about a electrodes which are not so widely spread as 6010 or 7018.

@user-vv6zz8qe4k 5 месяцев назад

Yeah very good

@jamesretired5979 2 года назад

The only thing I do different is to move at a speed that the puddle flows just to the light line of the last bead. ( The point where the arc light reflects off the highest point of the bead your tying in to) This makes a very flat weld, not rope like.

@kikiriksmx1881 2 года назад

Great job. Serious question about stick welding. I have stick welder with Tig lift setting. Other day i accidentally stick welded with machine on Tig lift setting. I did notice way different sound and smoother arc,not as violent as when using arc setting. Will this hurt my machine,any pros or cons to doing stick welding while using Tig lift setting.

@bcbloc02 2 года назад

Just shows the operator is just as important as the machine.

@jackdawg4579 2 года назад

I have to admit, I have just got my first modern welder with arc force on it, and it is stuffing me up. The welder is certainly chalk and cheese compared to the old unit, but I am finding setting the arc force is a puzzle.

@stevesmith2171 2 года назад

Set it in the middle and get used to it welding in all the positions you can with as many different types and sizes of rods as you can then start tweaking it.

@a.case.of.the.mondays Год назад

What amps would you recommend for 7018 overhead on quarter inch thick plates (doing a 4f T joint for class)

@AwestrikeFearofGods 8 месяцев назад

Interesting that the metal cohesion is strong enough to prevent the low-density slag from wetting the steel and floating into the overhead joint as a slag inclusion. Is this ever a problem?

@mainstreamgamer1300 2 года назад

good lesson mr. jody. mr. jody, can you give me suggestion, where i must searching training for aerospace welding inspector school/training (aws qc1), where can give me best practice to inspect Aeronautical welding part. thanks for your suggestion

I'm not gonna watch, I'm a disabled nuclear welder and still wished I could do it, just turn up the heat a little and keep the rod pushed up like your trying to ram it thru the material
