Yes....the slow-mo exposes nuances that are often overlooked by the naked eye. Particularly helpful with rod manipulation advice. PLEASE (If you haven’t already done so) make a slow -mo vid. of the technique used to do a one pass fill pass on vertical 1” mild steel plate with 7018 (5/32 or 1/8 rod or both). I’m looking to get back into welding at 63 (and ok phys.). Your videos are extremely helpful. T.Y!!
Great tips Bob, totally agree with you about where to set the machine. Numbers don’t matter guys,if you like the heat , roll with it. Bob Moffat=Welding God
Excellent discussion bob You are spot on with pipe highly skilled deep knowledge and funny Great job bob Always learning from you I have been teaching fabrication and welding and sheet Metsl layout fir over 23 years A life time of learning Power on Bob US Navy retired welder
Thanks so much for this! I hear all these welders talking about a hot pass with no explanation of what they’re talking about. Also pointing towards center of the pipe.
Bob for starters thank you very much for the free education. Id like to ask about the sentinel welding helmet and if you really like it and if thats the one that is supposed to ride close to your head on how it pivots. I apologize if you discussed it already in another video i just dont want to pull the trigger on the $$ without your input. Thanks again Sir
@@bobmoffatt4133 how does the Sentinel keep up with open root tig welding? Weld pipe all day and 95% of the time is tig root. Hav tried a few over the years, but every one ive tried has started "flashing" on and off after a while. Tried Optrel, Speedglass other Esab. Gave up with all of them and went back to Gold lenses. Would be handy to find one that can hook up to my airfeed and use for all processes👍👍
Arc length adjustment ! What every welder should learn. Whether it is stick welding or even more for TIG welding WITHOUT a foot peddle or thumb control. Great advice Bob.
I've always described welding similar to playing with a garden water hose when one was a kid . works similar( water goes where you point your hose ,metal goes where you point your rod) and kind of simplifies what's happening . hahaha if you don't know what I mean time to go grab your hose and play with it . hahaha sorry can't help it Bob. You are right about heat setting ,every machine runs a little different .Going horizontal to gravity back and forth is what I do as well . I've noticed to, that once you have hit the edge of your bevel, and are starting back across a little ball of slag will roll over the top of your puddle (7018). That was an indication to me that no under cut was being left on the edge . bob you are a tradesmen and good vids
Man It took me about 2 weeks welding on my own to learn that just welding over fucked up welds not helping lol. I managed to do 1 pretty nice weld on a Vband piece. pretty proud of it
Great video Bob. You couldn’t of explained it better. Very thoroughly done. This is why your a brilliant teacher and we love your videos. I get my tig torch and an argon soon. I can’t wait to have play. And then I’ll buy my self a spool gun in a couple of months. There very expensive here like $470. Only have a DC welder. It’s a cigweld 180 amp 3-way multi processor. That’ll do me. Welding is my new love at the moment as it’s fun to make stuff.
Bob, another great video from the "school of hard knocks (experience)". You can dial your machine all over the place, or you can manipulate your arc length and weld pool. I have found that both can give a good result, however, I am a fan/student of what I call "pool management". settings are settings, but if you know how to manipulate your arc length and what it does to the weld pool, you can produce some very good results, regardless of the machine you are running...…………..it all boils down to how much effort you have to put into it. Great tips and solid counsel.....IMHO
Keep it up. Also dont take everyones advice, these videos are great, buts its important to do what works best for you. If certain methods work better, then do those. Every welder is different.
I've been mig and tig welding for over 20 years. I never tried pipe welding because I thought it would be difficult. I never realized welds could look this bad and still be considered acceptable. I will be applying to these pipe welding jobs I see now.
Hola Bob exelente como siempre le deseo un feliz año nuevo y muchas gracias por todo lo que me enseñó este año puede mejorar atravesar de sus videos la tecnica de soldadura ,soy Darío un soldador no profesional pero con muchas ganas de aprender , muchas gracias por todo los vídeos de este año ,lo único que me gustaría que si se podría poner sub títulos en Castellano para sacar más provecho a la teoría muchas gracias y un buen año

Well said my friend,those numbers don’t mean much they’re just an estimation of what the machine should be at when it’s on that number ,although typically the faceplate says one thing and a volt/amp meter says another,welders just starting get all kind of confused when the WPS reads what amps they should be on and they’re thinking how can I get that amperage right on or lower 🤔
Always had downhill welding on pipe to be proper. Why is there cases where pipeliners or just welders run downhill sometimes? When is it allowed, and when is it not?
That tip is GREAT ppl get hung up on amperage. In reality i run bout 10amps less than most ppl due to my speed in 3g position. Thats not what teacher said but what worked 4 me. Look at puddle not amperage
I've been having a lot of fund welding with my everlast welders but now I'm wondering if I should be looking into a career in welding. I certainly love these videos.
hello bro. first i want to thank u for the vidios , i have learnt much from u dear. u are an angel sent by God its because of u i managed to pass though to a new job. secondly i have been having a confusion in selecting welding rods. i m a new welder from Africa and i have got a chance to be given a big project of welding chiller pipes in the shopping mall. i dont know which welding rods i should melt on chiller pipe(teel). recently i bought a box of Asab 28 E6013, wild steel electrode. so when i started welding the pipe, the rod got much hit and the pipe was to hot and the power cable from the welding machine was too hot . i m confused and i want to know what type of rod i should use on chiller pipe ( steel) thank u
between ; low alloy electrodes Mild steel electrodes *low hydrogen electrodes * low hydrogen/ low alloy electrodes. * stainless steel electrodes. *Nickel alloy electrodes. which one sould i use to weld a steel pipe(chiller pipe) i? i need help plz.
Depends on your weld procedure. When I was welding in the states there were no rules. On a posi weld I would do a 6010 up hand root then a hot 6010 down hand hot pass then fill and cap with 7018. Here in Canada I have to fallow a weld procedure. Roll welds is 6010 root then 7018 hot pass fill and cap. On posi welds its 6010 up hand 7018 hotpass fill cap. Tho sometimes if I want to push my root on a posi I will run a quick hot hotpass downhand then fill and cap with 7018. Xray cant tell weather you ran a 6010 downhand hotpass anyways.
@@oilypatch323 Same here....Started as maintenance pifefitter 1973 ; retrained again, 4 years, became combo pifefitter/pipewelder. I love to learn how others work in different places. Oily Patch, I welded a lot like you.

Hey bob, just wanted to know if you could make a video on welding a horizontal pipe to a vertical pipe please. I always have a hard time underneath with pudding up. Let me know what you think thanks bob your the man!!
I like the beginners vids of late. One thing i hope you'll cover sometime is basics for vertical stick welding (preferably AC). Ive seen very few videos take this on and i think you and your camera crew could do a better job demonstrating it.
I very much appreciate the content you're providing. Can you do an episode showing lack of fusion and what to look for and some tips to avoid lack of fusion?
Let's see that root pass all buffed out and shining so we can inspect that weld proper! Most procedures call for a Lo-Hi hot pass. If that root is weak it's Burn Through City for sure.
Happy New Year Bob! Another great video. Maybe sometime you could do a pipe video with a SA200 as your welder. Explain to everyone how the separate amp/volt controls can be manipulated to get the arc you want.
Preheating and coming back to the pool. If pool gets to hot, i get away briefly to give the pool time to cool enough to return to it and maintain the temperature of the pool
Hi warm greetings. Hope you're doing great over there?.. You have a lovely feed. I'd like to be a friend with an amazing person just like you if don't mind.I have investment proposition you could play in. It is the new advent of cryptocurrencies. If you're interested, It will be great to have a chat with you in exchange of thought concerning this investment opportunity.
Some unions don’t let you manipulate the puddle for testing in to the union. All you can do is drag the rod. If you could explain why that is or is there a reason why they do it? Figured that would be a good question for you.
Funny to hear someone say you need to run a certain amperage because every machine is different every fit up is different so every weld is different. Ive seen machines ive had to turn up 10-15 maybe even 20 amps just to run a good bead
Two old PowerKraft (Lincoln) buzz boxes in our shop, one AC, the other AC/DC+/-... They DO NOT run the same on AC!! My Ranger8 and my old Onan powered 225.... None are the same! I do like the clean power out of the Ranger8 though 😎 Mostly, I'm on an old Hobart BetaMig 200 in the shop.
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin i personally always pratice weld on a machine ive never welded on before just to get a feel for them. Ive had some machine that i just hate no matter what i do to the settings. Thats why most welders i know when they get a machine they like theyll stick with it

Hello Sir, You are a great teacher. Well done. I have a request. Can you add Arabic translation for the video? 🙏🙏
This really helpd
thanks your video is helping me
me getting into welding years after I took some welding classes... lightbulb goes on...O that's what that motion was about!
Some unions don’t let you manipulate the puddle for testing in to the union. All you can do is drag the rod. If you could explain why that is or is there a reason why they do it? Figured that would be a good question for you.
I've never heard of that. Lots of tests have gone to stringer beads only though.
Funny to hear someone say you need to run a certain amperage because every machine is different every fit up is different so every weld is different. Ive seen machines ive had to turn up 10-15 maybe even 20 amps just to run a good bead
EXACTLY!
Two old PowerKraft (Lincoln) buzz boxes in our shop, one AC, the other AC/DC+/-... They DO NOT run the same on AC!!
My Ranger8 and my old Onan powered 225.... None are the same!
I do like the clean power out of the Ranger8 though 😎
Mostly, I'm on an old Hobart BetaMig 200 in the shop.
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin i personally always pratice weld on a machine ive never welded on before just to get a feel for them. Ive had some machine that i just hate no matter what i do to the settings. Thats why most welders i know when they get a machine they like theyll stick with it
@@micdiva , in Bob's word, "EXACTLY"!😎👍
