STICK WELDING for Beginners | SMAW 6010 & 7018 

👇WeldTube Store👇 www.weldlife.com

I'm 73 years old and have watched a ton of videos . That was, hands down, the best demonstration of stick manipulation I have ever seen!

For anyone learning, after the root pass using 6010, it might help you to grind down the root pass to make sure that root is clean and theres no debris in there if its an xray test. 6010 is a DIRTY burning rod. Dont grind down far, just the top where the “coin stack” look is and not much farther. Just to make sure its clean. Dye penetration tests will reveal that shit as well. On the hot pass, you can also oscillate with a circular motion, making sure to hold the top wall for a quarter second or so to prevent undercutting on the top side. Gravity usually takes care of the bottom side assuming you dont come down too far and undercut. After cleaning the hot pass, run stringers over the top of it real nice and slow, 7018 looks real nice if you just let the rod burn and fill in :) Professionally schooled, worked as a stick welder for a bit. Got 2000+ hours welding :) certified in 3G 7018 open root structural v groove welding

I’ve finished welding school this month ain’t nothing wrong with coming back to the basics plus it’s good content never know what u have miss.

1,2,Push... Your rhythm helped me a lot when I started out because I was going too fast, and my bead wasn't thick enough. Thanks.

Dude, thank you so much for these videos. I'm currently at a welding tech school in the ass of nowhere Virginia, and my instructor is bottom level garbage can. Threw us into the lab, said here's the gas, here's the fuel, don't blow yourselves up, figure the rest out as you go. Only thing he actually told us for fillet was weld at a 45 degree angle, and to lay the root with a 6010 and the hot passes with 7018. Didn't even explain what a damn hot pass was. No explanation of proper amps, distance from weld, how to start an arc, where to hold the rod and at what distance from the metal. Keep in mind, I'd never touched a power tool before walking into this guy's class. I'd be lost without this info! You're helping me make my dream of a career in the trades into a reality. Great channel.

I've been a machinist my whole adult life, but took an adult welding course thru the local CC. I skipped the 1G and passed the 3G (vertical up)SMAW test first try because the instructor was so good. I had zero experience, literally never held a electrode before the course. Good instruction is priceless.

My father was a union iron worker and we had a garage that he kept all his welding stuff. After school I would come home and head straight to the garage to practice welding before he got home. I’ve been a carpenter for almost 40 years and do a lil bit of welding where I work now at a marina. Your channel has helped me more than you can ever imagine, for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Just an old retired welder you young people bring back a lot of memories watching some of those videos

Thank you so much for making this video! I am currently a student in welding school and was having trouble with my T joints and this video helped me out a lot..

1. i learned to never use a wire wheel to remove mill scale 2. i learned some good movement patterns for better welds including the forward back pause and small circle methods 3. i learned to always cover 50% of the last pas on the new pass

Looks like how I learned many years ago during my apprenticeship. Love the way the slag lifts and curls off the lo-hi weld.

I'm currently a welding student and 6010's are easily my worst welds. This helped me ALOT! Thank you!

Thanks to this vid my welding became so much better and I was finally able to shut up some people. The technique and rythm really helped me a lot. Rosendo you my boi!!! Thanks dude.

Man, this is the most detailed video I have seen on the 6010 & 7018 technique!!!

Nicely done! I watch this video as a review class before I weld after long breaks. Thanks for taking the time. AND what a great TOOL!!

I’m in welding school and after 2 days of running straight beeds, this is my first project :)

That’s how you weld a angle joint. You sir are a Master blaster in welding, period. Well done and demonstrated.

0:12 bro is that the PlayStation 1 startup sound!? That just gave me Vietnam flash backs!

That was really great to watch! Thank you for your time!!!!

one of the best tutorials ive watched so far, and ive watched a ton of videos on here. Thank you for being so clear and actually showing up close the techniques

Brother, thank you for such a detailed and high-quality report of educational material!

Thanks very straightforward and easy to understand. Great instructor!!

That everlasting machine is insane, I like how it has all that inbuilt, and think that’s just smart by the company and a lot of people might get think it’s overkill but the better it makes it for the welder the better the weld

Well done man! Great video of the actual welding!

FIRST CLASS TIPS, BY ONE TALENTED WELDER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT ABILITIES TO TEACH AND YOU'RE A TRUE PROFESSIONAL...

Thanks for your detailed instructions and passing on your knowledge! You have helped me make great improvements in the class room shop. Keep up the good work. One day my welds will look as pretty as yours. You set the standard thank you again for your time and effort.

Great job and video. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

Very clear explanation on how to weld. Thank you.

Watching and listening to you, I think I could do this. Great video, thanks Amigo!

Excellent video! You get right into it and give good examples prior to even welding.

Thaaaaaank you sooooooooooooo much! Simply, clearly, beautifully, nicely explained. No bla-bla, no b.s.

I’m in welding school and we start T-Joints tomorrow so I came on here to check out what I’ll be doin ahead of time. Thanks for the video it was very informative 😊

im very glad for the mig and stick videos i have seen from this channel, im also exited to start my welding school thanks for the helpful tips and tricks

Great teaching, making sure that you recap the key points....

Great tips and your a great teacher you made things understandable to me. 👍🏾

He’s making it looks simple, I’m over here struggling how to weld a t joint using 6010 rods lol

That was great! I'll be sure to keep this in mind when I get started welding. Hoping to build a truck camper later this year. I'll need to learn to weld to build it the way I want. :D

I’m a beginner welder thanks for all the videos on yt it’s helps a lot

Thank you so much weld for reinforcing knowledge, skills nd variety of techniques. I really appreciate that nd helps a lot... philippines

The biggest problem I had when testing at the first couple of places is not letting the material properly cool. Don't let your nerves get to you. Take your time and don't get in a hurry. If the material gets too hot it won't flow right and if your doing verticals it will start falling out and look sloppy. Then your going to have to grind alot. Amperage if course depends on your material thickness and rod size, but for a standard 7018 1/8 rod on 1/4 test plate I like to run at 115. But machines can be squirrely so see if they will allow you to run a pass or two on some scrap material. Don't make the same mistakes I made, drink some water, smoke a cigarette or whatever and then burn in another bead. Try to get comfortable and relaxed.

Thanks for posting 👍

Thank you for showing me this. I just started welding and am loving it. I’m currently am on T joint and want to try to pass it off before the end of this week. I’ve been trying to memorize the techniques that you pros use and it’s been helping me out a lot. Because of this I now know how the circles are suppose to be done and I also k ow a new technique which is the forward back up down. I’ve been struggling trying to get that part of the weld done on my T joint. I like your videos and want to see more. I just found you so I don’t know if you do tig or not but if you do I’d love to see some videos sense the area I live in doesn’t have ma y tig welders and so I would like to perfect that. Again thank you for you’re help.

Thank you for your services 🙏

Thank you. That tutorial was very helpful

you aren’t gonna find a machine like that at any highschool😂😂😂

Thanks for breaking it down like that!! 🤘🏽

Whoa...fabulous instruction and information. I appreciate technique...so well done!

Really well presented video (I mean the guy doing the welding) and very informative too!

I like how you show how is supposed to be done literally

Excellent video, great instructor.. Thank you

AWESOME WELDER , BEAUTIFUL JOB!

I wonder if machine like that would ever land on my doorstep one day 😜 then I would be a RU-vid star 😁

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot of your video. Mad skills!!

Nice man! I wish our instructors were more knowledgeable. I’ve never seen any of the techniques in you guys videos.

Thank very much for that. Going in to welding here. Triangle tech in PA

Dam rosendo is a beast with the welding

Thank you Big Bro👊🏽 very helpful 👍🏽

its very good demonstration sir. its a good timing and coz im on a training on Smaw1 just started two weeks ago. Your video is a big help for me as a student. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in welding sir.

Outstanding video with explanations and demonstrations

Awesome video, the detail and breaking things down is excellent. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing valuable information

Nice video! Much love from Chicago

I really like this video, thank you for making this. it help me find out how to do, a good manipulation for 6010 and 7018 rod in horizontal fillet weld.

Wtf there's machines with settings for all dif types of welds now that is awesome

Awesome demo Rosendo 👊 💚

me and my dad use flap discs. they work pretty good. i’ve never used a grind disc so i’d have to try it out

Helped me a lot. Thanks 🙏🏾

That Machine gotta be the best one in the game rn 💯

Bro is a great demonstration I'm going back to the welding school to have my test for Fitter and help me a lot my test is vertical and overhead

Awesome Man! Learned how to use the weld rod a hold lot better . Thanks and god bless.

I found using a ceramic paint stripping disc very quick in removing the mill scale. Made I beams and was having issues removing the scale. Used grind discs, sanding discs, and saw the ceramic paint and rust removal discs on Amazon. Love them. Used 3 grind discs to clear about 4 feet of web. Switched to ceramic and was able to get entire 147 inches cleared with 1 disc. Doesn't cut deep either. Fewer gouges than grinding.

Very nice informative video . Just subscribed . Thank you .

Great teaching my man , for beginners

Keep em burning ladies and gentlemen

I teach reading at a career high school in Nor-Cal. I am working on my SMAW. Thank you!

Great looking work! It is interesting how "achievable" is this with a stock old school welder machine.

Those beads look clean AF

My students loved this

2 best common rods to run. Have ran them for yrs.

Oohrah. Nice work

Nice Welding!!

Beautiful welds bud 👍

Me gusta las tecnicas que usas brother muy bonita soldadura e aprendido desde que miro tus videos muchas gracias God bless you
