So what can stick welding do that mig welding and tig welding can't? THIS! You already know by my "I Stick Weld Everything" that I love stick welding and it's my go to welding process. So of course I needed to point out where it surpasses the other processes.

I had to weld down a hole in a shop setting. We added a foot pedal so we only struck an arc at the bottom. It was really critical that we didn't hit the sides. Playing Operation as a kid prepared me for that moment.

@Von_Hohenheim Год назад

this might be a stupid question but was there something preventing you from covering the holes edges with tape or something to insulate electrically?

@wjkuhl Год назад

If you’re plug welding with stick, more times than not the hole is probably pretty small, so he probably wasn’t able to get tape in there, moreover though you wouldn’t put electrical tape around the edges because it would melt basically immediately when it’s exposed to that much heat.

@ignaloidas Год назад

@@wjkuhl Kapton tape can hold up to ~400 degrees Celsius, which should be good enough if it's at least a centimeter or two away from the weld. Great stuff for taping hot things in general.

@@bugnug5332 thanks. I was being sarcastic. I was actually told if I learned the puddle and could handle Tig, I could pick up the rest quick. I found this to be true, but with Tig being my first instinct, I feel a little gimped when dealing with the fast deposit processes of stick and mig.

@ironbacon Год назад

Im proof of that. Grabbed a mig first and could never get a decent weld. Spent 2 years with a Lincoln tombstone and I'm finally getting back to the mig, I'm picking it up really quickly now

I work in a shipyard that built submarines 46 years ago and it was common to see the welders bend the rod to get in tight spaces. I even remember seeing guys weld with a mirror.

I did electronics and telecommunications work at those places.

@johnulmer6715 Год назад

As a millwright for many years, almost all our welding was stick welding. Nasty dirty places or outside in wind and weather where wire feed with gas was impractical or impossible. Did use mig in shop when we could but the bulk was stick. One thing I've seen over my experience is that most stick welders can weld with wire, but have seen wire welders who can't weld with stick.

@420_Tha_Gang Год назад

My coworker told me a story when they were working a shut down there was a weld that was needed to be made but it more than a rods length away so the guy took a couple of rods and tacked them together

@colt10mmsecurity68 Год назад

Another great video! Stick welding while not as popular anymore with all the faster wire feed types available, especially in the making of high rise buildings and such, still can’t “out do” stick welding. Especially when crazy angles or wild weather interferes with every other process. Stick welding is every bit as strong as the most modern wire fed welding, but easier. Some might even say that stick welding is the strongest type of weld, depending on the electrode type and the man behind the stinger! Stick welding is also easier in that one doesn’t need to worry about gas cylinders to haul around nor welding on dirty metal when you can’t get an angle grinder or die grinder into a tight spot. If God took away all wire feed welding, stick welding would suffice just fine. It’s just a slower process. I think it has more “pros” than “cons” to its process than any other welding type. Stick for LIFE!!!! 😂

@richardkawucha1232 Год назад

As a certified high pressure Boilermaker welder, there have been many times when I've bent my rod to get the weld done. At times it has included duct taping the stinger to a broom handle, to get into tight places. When welding a "dutchman into tubes, where you only have access from one side, the solution is to weld through a "keyhole". The hole is just shy of the diameter of the tube. I've TIG welded the root then 7018 fill and cap. A cooler (crowned) weld won't give the penetration into the parent metals, plus you have a greater chance of a slag inclusion. I was welding on a blast furnace "coke oven" 1.5 inches thick with 100% weld penetration. After welding the interior, I went to the outside and after power brushing began 1/8" E7018 at 150. The weld tech saw the spatter (from running so hot) and commented on it. I assured him that as far from the weld machines as we were and the fact that the welds were to be x-rayed I guaranteed there'd be no problems. All field welds not only passed the tests but exceeded the welds of the shop, for quality.

@billarroo1 Год назад

I had to weld inside of a track 2 inches deep, and only had a 1/2" slot for the rod and to look through, to keep the rod from short out on the sides, I used a piece of 5/16" rubber hose. 3 inches long as insulation, slid the hose into the slot then slid the rod through into the groove, got it welded without shorting out on the sides. Hey Austin I like your channel, keep it going !!😃 THANKS

@stevenfolkers7358 Год назад

garage door tech here. have had numerous cases where the spring pipe (part that door attaches to door) breaks and either have to weld it back together between the pipe and head plate (requiring bending rod to fit the gap) or burn a hole through the head plate and weld it through the hole. a good 6010 pass to cut some of the grease and debris i cant clean and door is back in working order until a permanent fix can be made, can honestly say i would be SOL without stick rods to make the repairs. great process for any out of position or mobile work

@erichill5208 Год назад

For many years my dad would bend the rod right at the stinger. Especially when building with pipe. As the weld progresses you just push down on the rod into the puddle and it will change the angle of the rod and stinger to keep hand position comfortable as you weld around the pipe. Bending the rod to reach a tight spot that a full length rod won’t is common. I do that often when the need arises with heavy equipment repairs. And yes a stick will reach areas that a wire feed gun won’t fit. And out in the field stick doesn’t care if there is wind or not. Your doing a great thing sharing your knowledge online to those who may just be learning or are not in the trade but need pointers as they do the hobby thing. 👍

@beairbmx Год назад

Learned this workin in scrapyard maintenance. You’ll get in some interesting situations working on heavy equipment. Sometimes ya gotta get creative. That being said I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone bring this up in a video! Great tip for people who don’t know this little trick! 🤘🏽

Absolutely, I had to repair a plow frame a number of years ago, and with the uprights around where the repair area was, there was no way to get a mig gun the 8" down to make the repair. There unfortunately was no way to properly clean the repair area, but good old 6011 to the rescue.

@hammerfist5788 Год назад

I've ran a flexible MIG torch since the early 2000's. It is not new technology. Doesn't replace stick when application demands it (pipe in the field) but you can do similar things with other welding forms. Lord only knows how many miles I've ran through my Miller Suitcase 12Vs, but I've only gone through 2 flex head torches. Wish I knew the brand off the top of my head, but when you don't buy them that often and start getting old you can forget.

I figured this one myself when trying to weld against a wall so impossible to put whole stick there with your arm as well. But the thing when you put the rod to the holder electrode in the middle (and scrape the "flux") didn't occur to me. I always burned the electrode a little on some other place to get a smaller stick. Very handy indeed, you can't do this with any other method. Also welding outside in wind is great with sticks !

I am a welder fabricator with 30 years experience. Every welder should learn stick before moving on to wire. There are things that stick welding can do that a MIG can't... what you are welding today, stick wouldn't be my first choice, it's just too slow. Metal Core or dual shield flux, I could weld each one of those sides in one continuous weld about 10x faster than stick... BTW MIG necks can bend, you just need the right neck... like I have in my toolbox 🙂 as well as an assortment of customized consumables to fit in tight places.
