That turned out well, you are right, thats the sort of job DIY folks have to tackle and it usually ends up a mess and they get discouraged, inverter set are a great help, plus of course youtube channels like yours. MIG fluxcore is also handy for jobs like that, but clean up tends to be more time consuming, plus more spatter usually. Using heavier duty cable is a good tip, I was laying out an extension cable once and my wife said "my, thats a very thick wire" made me check to see if the zipper on my jeans was open:)
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 6 лет назад
Thanks for the compliment Jaques! I'm old school so 99% of my experience is on transformer based welders. Going from a transformer to an inverter like this one is like night and day as far as i'm concerned. The inverters are way easier to start and maintain an arc as far as i'm concerned. Time will tell I guess if electronics will win over a solid state transformer machine. My wife has never commented on me having thick wires :) Take care brother!

Metabo. Yes I like metabo. They are metal specialists. Their drills have the impulse and really good for drilling hex screws into metal roofs. I have an assortment of drill attachments for polishing. I didn't think of this wire brush. I haven't got a Di grinder. It will be on the list for touching up internal welds. I guess I could get a drill attachment.

It is so unfortunate that so many people just starting out welding start with a stick welder and try to weld thin metal. It can be so hard! Despite that I have a little 120v everlast stick welder that I learned on and absolutely love it. Welding can be so addicting.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 6 лет назад
Right on Lucas! I would encourage anyone first learning to weld to hold off on welding thin material until you get proficient with thicker stuff. I'm very impressed with today's technology with how stable an arc can be on 120 volts. It's quite impressive!

Hey Brandon, Bruce Lund here. Old man who's been welding for 50 odd years. Good episode. Lotta good points. So on your recommended wire size for extension cords - you bet - 12 ga all the way for these Inverter Welders on 120v AC. I cut open on of those 120/240 plug adapters and measured the wire thickness. Came out at 0.072" which is between US 14 ga and US 12 ga. So running 12 for an extension cord is almost a must. I plan to splice on 25 ft of 12 ga and make my adapter into a dedicated welder feed extension cord. I also recommend going through all the Ground and Welding cable ends in the ground clamp, rod holder and the DINSE connectors. You'll usually see bare wire wrapped in a copper foil under the set screw/bolt. Over time these will corrode and work loose. I flood solder the ends of the wire inside the foil so it's a solid "bar" for the set screw/bolt to grab. Makes arc starting easier with solid connections.

Going on your phone to the Miller site was awesome. Talk about saving a lot of time "guessing". Thanks for that. Has anyone asked about welding steel to aluminum? I have the exact same arc welder, and need to repair a gazebo. I discovered some of the box sections are mild-steel, and others are aluminum (magnet test). Any guidance or a video would be greatly appreciated.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 5 лет назад
Thank you very much. That calculator is a real time saver to get you close when using different materials. As far as welding the steel to aluminum, your best bet is going to probably be mechanical fasteners. If you can bolt or rivet a piece of steel to the aluminum, then you can weld the piece to the steel your trying to connect to. hopefully that made sense?

Really helpful -- THANKS! One question though...I'm trying this using the same basic technique, inverter settings/connections and rods, but 9 times out of 10 the rod STICKS! The work pieces are pretty clean and similar thickness, but "Stick City!" What am I likely doing wrong?
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 5 лет назад
Does your welder have hot start? That could be the issue. This welder has a "hot start" feature, which temporarily boosts the amperage then decreases it once the arc is established. It also has "arc force" which also boosts the amperage in the event you have too tight of an arc gap. Both work together to help strike the arc and keep it lit without sticking.

It sounds like your doing what you can. Your machine may not be able to go that low and still be able to light the rod. You might try bumping the amperage up just a bit and then doing real quick tack welds. That's where a hot start feature comes in handy
@pathfinder10148

Hey brandon morning here in philippines. Do you have video for G. i tubular 1.2mm thick. My question is what is the right size and no. Of welding rod to do the job, i'm using 6013 2.0mm and lastec 88 rod when i was in saudi arabia, since i was now in philippines this lastek 88 is not available. Can you give me a sugestion what is the best welding rod to use for this thin G. I tubular. Thanks a lot if you reply big help for me and to other people watching your video.. Godbless

This machine will only go to 110 amps when plugged into 110 power (which is plenty for most of the stuff you see me doing on the channel). You could multi-pass joints as this as you wanted which is very common in structural work. It will easily weld 1/8" in a single pass and you could keep making passes to weld 1" plate if you wanted, but 1/8" is very do-able on 120 volts. Just make sure your on a dedicated 20 amp outlet (nothing else plugged in or running off that circuit) or you will pop the breaker.

Can you make a vido on this topic?! mainipulating hard to find specific nails and bolts using arc welding?!
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 3 года назад
@Mahmoud Omar Thanks man I appreciate your support! What you are trying to do is very difficult. Welding nuts in general can be very difficult because there is very little surface area and what remains heats up immediately to cherry red. It's very easy to blow out the metal when this happens. This takes practice but it can be done. Figure out what you think you need for amperage then go less. This will help prevent blowout. You might find you have to start and stop a couple times to let the nut cool down so you don't have a blow out. Good luck brother and report back!

Your describing "voltage drop". As the length of a cord increases, its ability to carry that voltage decreases, which in turn increases the current / amps for the same given load.

@@kitten_processing_inc4415 what I said is correct. let me rephrase it. Lets say you had a 6 foot long 12 guage cord capable of carrying 20 amps and you plugged in an appliance that drew 19 amps. You have a 1 amp surplus. Now take that same appliance but make the cord 100 feet long. You no longer have that 1 amp surplus, in fact the appliance will draw considerably more amperage, So as I said in the video you have reduced your available amperage by using long undersized cords.
@kitten_processing_inc4415
@kitten_processing_inc4415 4 года назад
@@BrandonLund ok, I accept that's a legitimate way to look at it. The resistance causes the problem, the voltage drops across the cable because of the resistance which reduces the current carrying capacity of the circuit at given supply voltage. The really important thing is that the power available at the end of the cable is reduced because both the voltage and the current reaching the welder are reduced. Less power to the welder means it has to limit it's output current Aside from the fact that the power available to the welder is reduced I believe the power electronics of many welders won't operate well if the supply voltage has dropped out of a range, even if the power theoretically available would be adequate.... So voltage drop still seems like the big deal here to me, but I guess it is your video and it isn't incorrect..

Brandon Lund I had to make clamps for the metabo track fence. You can run the metabo cold cut saw along it. I just found out Milwaukee brought out the over 8 in cordless cold cut saw. Anyway I cut a small section of 7 mm angle iron and ran through the belt sander so it would fit in the track. I cut off the end of a small clamp and proceeded to weld. I didn't take enough steel off so grinded the weld to make it fit. Only thing it lost its strength and failed. I then made sure I had enough weld for the next one and used low hydration stick. Oh my goodness they are nice and strong. I agree I won't go back to using mild steel rod even for jobs that don't require it. I can polish frames so it's all filled. I had trouble doing this with the other rods. There would be holes and cleaning up to redo didn't really achieve the results I was after. Sorry for taking so long trying to explain something. The rods leave a thin later sort of dark. The brand is Bossweld. My goodness I was wrong these are 7016 low hydration tc 16 welding electrodes. Approval grade 3 h10.

A welders with an input of 120 volts and 15 amps gives 1800 watts . Its Output is lower voltage allowing an increase in amperage. I.E Welder outputs 17-45 volts. There is 1800 watts available. With an operating voltage of 17 you will get 105 amps.

@mildyproductive9726
@mildyproductive9726 5 лет назад
I have googled all over for this, myself. The thinnest metal Google wants to show me being stick welded is 14 gauge or about 75 thousandths. MIG, I find videos doing body panels of 18 gauge or about 48 thousandths. The sheet metal I have been welding is 16 thousandths! I don't even know what gauge that is. I am a noob, but I have gotten it to work fairly ok. Lap joints and spot welds, only. No butts or continuous bead. And I still get the inevitable blow through on occasion. What works for me is clamp next to where I will spot weld, grind a small slot-shaped crater through the top sheet and slightly grazing into the bottom sheet with a small cutoff disc. Heat up a 1/16" 6013 on a piece of scrap, then bring it to the spot. As soon as it sparks, jam it down until it just about touches the metal, and immediately withdraw. Amperage as low as it will burn, which is about 17A on my machine, DCEN. If you were restoring a car, you would need a lot of Bondo, lol. To repair a tank, it would take forever to connect the beads to make it gas/liquid tight and you would maybe need a plug welding heatsink jig to fix the holes. :) (I haven't figured out how to plug holes in metal this thin, yet.) The other major problem beside holes is warpage. If the spot doesn't take on the first try, the metal warps and separates and the flux dust gets in there. If you can't hammer it flat against an anvil, I have very little chance to get it to connect on further attempts.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund 5 лет назад
@@mildyproductive9726 thin metal is very difficult to weld with stick as you have figured out. Another good trick is to keep a very steep drag angle and keep your pieces clamped tight when doing lap joints. Any gap will cause it to burn out. If you can get a piece of copper over the joint on the backside, it will act as a heat sink and help with blow through. I'll have some more thin metal videos out soon.
