Great video. I want to get more familiar with this method but always ran into issues with my mask. I've got a couple different ones but they both have issues with the shade going on and off during the pulse cycle. I also found it hard to select a good shade value in order to see what's going on during the 5% phase and also not blind myself during the pulse! Did you have any of these issues? I am motivated to give this another go now.
But with the laywire technique, how can one tell if the puddle is flowing fully into the corner of the joint? Good old dabbing sounds to me like a safer technique.
nice explanation - I have found most recommendations to be around 1.8 maybe 2 pulses per second. I found that to be tto fast and it was messing with my coordination - 1 pulse /sec seems to be more natural, so thanks for showing that there can be perfect welds to be had with it...on a side note: did you make the heat sink yourself...if not where did you get it?
I bought one from Jeff at Sputnik Tool and then proceeded to make a bunch of unlicensed rip offs in different sizes. Just for my own shop, and I’m never going to sell them- that would not be cool. I wanted the practice making them myself and I had more time than money. His really are a good value though.
Thanks for the video! Would you use the same parameters for welding 8mm chromoly tubing to make a bike rack? I'm a beginner welder and I'm trying to get my courage up to make some custom bike racks.
I haven’t made a rack in a long time and last time I did I was not yet using pulse so I don’t know exactly what would work best. The good news is that quality rack tubing is pretty cheap and you could do a bunch of practice joints for not a lot of $$ and try to get really comfortable with what works best for you.
I dont know about steel. When I fuseweld aluminum I pulse 1.4-1.6 pps and use a 40% background with about 55%ontime. But what Id like to know is who are said steelframe builders who make beautiful welds without pulse. Id like to check them out on instagram

one potato , two potatos , three potatos = 1 Hertz = one light flash per second :):)
Thanks for doing all these videos man! They’re entertaining and extremely helpful.
Great info Joe! I started out with Jody’s 33 rule too. I like less back ground amperage and a slower pulse also.
I went and tried it and it worked pretty well!
I tried similar settings and the results were slightly better than no-pulse. Takes some getting you to not seeing the full arc for such a long time.
I've always wanted to use my everlast welder to make some bike frames. Thanks for the tips bro.

What is that thing you stick inside the tube that looks like a air compressor connector? What does it do and what’s it called?
It's a heat sink. The connector is for optional argon back purge.

ok, mine are currently on order from Jeff as well - I just was interested to know, because yours looks nice...
what do use for filler rod? is filler rod used?
I ususally use Weldmold 880t .045" wire for steel bike welding.

What should my metronome settings be... are 8th note triplets at 60 bpm ok? I don't have pulse on my machine.
I like to do a polyrhythm where I'm dabbing filler rod to quintuplets and pulsing to triplets. Allegro Sostenuto.
