I don't know this guy personally, but how can you not respect someone that is so knowledgeable and wants to share his knowledge? Thanks!
Thanks Kevin,,,good communication, not baby talk but not over the top technical,,good for non pro DIYers
Great video. I've been stick welding for about a year and am now trying to learn more about MIG. I just bought the Eastwood 175 and I am now even more excited about firing it up. I've been taking welding classes at the local community colleges and I have to admit that RUclips videos have really helped me to understand concepts that are quickly covered in class. Thanks for your thoughtful and instructive videos.
Love the Eastwood how to videos Kevin. You need a auto repair program on Discovery or Speed Channel.
Thank you so so much for this video, Kevin. I really appreciate you saying "This can be the difference between success and failure"... so true. I've almost quit rebuilding my 69 Chevelle due to weld blow through. Although I need more practice, this video has really helped me.
Thanks again! God bless!
Kevin, a BIG thank you! watched both and finally made a helmet change and followed your tips and suffice it to say, the improvements are so huge I laughed out loud. Just trying to figure out the splatter from the flux core...thanks again!
Excellent video for beginners or if there is nothing but reruns on TV.
kevin speaks and explains so well..such great wisdom shared here
Very instructional video Kevin. Thanks man!
THANKS EASTWOOD YOU DOING GREAT,GIVE US MORE
Wow i feel like a i learned a lot. Thank you kevin for a great video. Cant wait to get started!
This is beautiful!thanks for the information and bringing us into the knowledge of welding the correct way.
15:42 ....Best master ever...LOL more videos please
Great tips. Just the information I needed.
This is great, thank you, awesome information!!!
Really, informative video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Keven is great!
i like flux core no messing with gas .. built a camper with it no problem
Excellent video
Glad you liked it
Very nice detailed instructions, thanks for the info!
Kiven sir relly thats very important information and thanks
awesome!
as always, great videos Kevin.
I would love to see you fab up some seat brackets for a aftermarket racing seat. going into detail about seat heights & angles.
I know its probally a far cry to get you guys to do something like this, but I am faced with trying to fit some recaros into my project car & think I may want to use the stock rails/sliders from the car, & weld up a bracket to easily bolt in the recaro to it
Thanks Kev
As a former welder myself, safety is the most important rule anyone should revise on until they can remember.
You're playing with dangerous amounts of Volts / MA, not to mention combustible gases. So if you don't get a decent ground point or you aren't aware of the surroundings, something could happen in the blink of an eye.
The consequences can be catastrophic, be safe people.
Clearly you know how to weld. My only issue is the short shrift given to flux core welding. I suspect a great many "amateur" welders started out using an inexpensive flux core system, before "upgrading" to MIG or TIG as the proverbial Holy Grail of welding. Be that as it may, flux core welding offers serious advantages over all other types of welding, yet these advantages go unrecognized, even by "experts" intent upon selling us all on more expensive welding systems. Once the user has developed sufficient skill using "cheap" flux core" he or she can produce quite strong, and yes, "pretty" welds using a process so may turn their nose up too. A FC bead won't be as intrinsically "pretty" as a MIG bead, but the FC weld can be make under ALL weldable conditions, whereas MIG is limited to indoor locations. FC beats SMAW every day of the week because it provides the user with a more precisely controlled system. The nonsense about what any given system can weld "in one pass" is what keeps sales of stick machines going strong when in fact, every welder knows that multiple passes can be used to fill up a V-groove of thick metal...in fact it's used all the time using TIG for pipe welding. For 90+% of all welding, the "do-it-yourselfer" is well served by a flux core machine. Even better is to purchase a "MIG" machine with infinite heat control and use FC wire in it for about 99% of welding.
Good video
Interesting, very well put,. so a mig welder just about does it all from fluxcore , mig work to tig,. so when your ready for the gas mix it's there, and when i finally decide to get a tig wand,. It's there waiting ,.
get a mig welder, It's worth the investment.
.
5:52 My two cents. I recommend to crack the main valve ever so small like to open the Gas gently until the hose is fully charged, then fully open the valve all the way, then back it off a few millimeters. It'll save your gauges. Open it so little that you can actually see the gauges move and not just jump as if they are going to just spring out of the dial into outer space.
he's a genius

hey i have a question, i am about to buy a mig 135 welding kit from you guys and i am wondering if it would work fine in my country, i think it says 120volts? here in my country we have mostly or around 110-120 so that should work just fine? also what is the actual amps would that pull from my house hold circuit ( load rating ). i dont want to buy it then it might run my bill up high or trip all the breakers in my house lol
The valve on your tank is designed to seal itself internally when it is either fully open or fully closed. Don't "crack" the tank as suggested in the video. It is bad for your seals and will cause leaks.
Is it necessary to touch the welded metal with copper piece on the MiG torch? While welding?.if you touch it will not melt?
E and 5 on the welder? What does that translate to in voltage, and inches per minute on the feed rate of the wire? Differing machines have differing labeling and meanings. So, what does E equal in voltage, and 5 in wire feed speed? Last, did the chart recommend the torches travel rate for the weld, in inches per minute? What was it?
After 9 weeks of stick welding. Which is brutal for a guy who hates stick. (Its easy but it's a pain in the ass because your swapping rods like a madman)(about 40 rods in 3) hours.
Mig is super easy. You just need to know how to operate your machine. Which components you need. And how to start the weld(bad angle=bad start)
Get started and with right technique then it's the easiest thing you could ever do.
Stop dreaming about getting a MIG welder! Are YOU an Eastwood Guy? Check out this video from Eastwood to find out:

Man, this dude is really hawking these products! I thought this was supposed to be a hoot video not an infomercial.
What kind of welder do I need buy to start practice welding and eventually in my project car? and What other equipment do I need to buy please? Thanks
+cherfieldm An Eastwood MIG 135 is a good start and operates on 120 volts. If you want to do heavier steel check out the Eastwood MIG 175, which operates on 220 volts. Both can weld aluminum with a spool gun. Visit Eastwood.com and you can talk to a Tech who can set you up with the welder and accessories you need.
Yeah my bad, I meant "not to mention combustible gases" which could be lying around the work environment.
Such as Butane / Propane / Hydrogen / Ethanol etc all these factors need to be taken into consideration, especially if the individual is a self employed mobile Welder. They go where the work is.
I apologize in advance for not making my original comment more clear, reading it back I can see I give no indication to what I was talking about.
Love your username btw *Passes Joint*
Eastwood Company One thing you didnt mention which is serious. Never use brake clean to clean the metal you are going to weld. It can cause seizures or worse!

Hello. My name is Valentin, I am from Russia, and I am the owner of the channel. We are painting correctly, can I translate some of your videos into Russian and post on my channel? Thank you in advance for your reply. I think that you will be watched and watched not only in the USA, but also in Russia, but since many do not understand English, they do not understand what it is about, I decided to help with the translation and translate your videos.
Does Eastwood sell to Australia customers?
every time i used gas welding the metal sheet is sinking how can i prevent that kind of problem.
Can you use the cheap Rubbing Alcohol from the drug store to clean the steel parts before welding or to wipe down the panels before bodywork ?? I have tried this it seems to work ok but not as quickly as Acetone.

Kevin, I just bought a Eastwood Mig welder 135 . I can use the bottle on this ? Is using this welder give you a strong weld also Kevin? I never welded at all . Your the guy that got me into it Kevin. please get back to me
+James Weissbach Please contact an Eastwood Tech who can talk with you in depth. www.eastwood.com/
Eastwood Company I can't believe you talked so much Bullshit before you even started welding wat an idiot
Tim Smith think you are the idiot talking like that
at what thickness does it stop being called sheet metal?
Do you have to prep or clean both sides of the sheet metal\panel?
Really depends on the contaminants and how bad it is. If it's bad on both sides and you can clean both sides, that would give you the best welds.
👍🔥
I want to get my ppe gear up
I keep figiting while i weld i need help
Great. How would you ever weld 60-year-old body panels without them being this good here? You could not. So would a tig be better to use for such than a mig? In the case of old metal being welded to new?
Why aren't you able to weld the old metal? Is it rusty? If it's that bad, can you cut it out and replace it. TIG welding will give you more control over the heat.
I believe it has to do with not being able to access the backside and clean it well, that the blow through happens. If you cut out a large enough piece so that you can access the inside of a panel or door, you've cut way too much. More welds more work. End up just replacing the entire piece at a huge cost. Any place I have welds I usually see dimpled metal where rust has been cleaned off. So I'm trying to weld that area. Again if I cut further back, most time it is in the way of something else...or more curved and odd shaped areas, that I cannot rebuild metal and form it to fit. Thanks for the reply.
Hey Kato, did OJ really do it?
Not sure if its cocaine or excitement lol. good video.
Hah Right? Was thinking the same thing.
How mig weld a joint correctly
I hope they've updated their settings chart. Look at the video closely and you'll see that they're missing a zero on the wire size in inches. 0.25 in DOES NOT equal 0.6 mm, that would be .025 in. Can you imagine a MIG wire 1/4" in diameter? (The other inch sizes on the chart are wrong, too.)
Absolutely true. Yes, I have a typo on a youtube post. Eastman has typos on their product! That's my point. (The chart shows wire sizes of .25" to .35".) So, you got me but I'm not an expert welding company. :-)
Perhaps you are accustom to quarter inch welding wire?
By the way, I looked at my Eastwood MIG 175 and it uses the same incorrect inch dimensions. It also has the word "lager" in the place of "larger" when referencing the wire drive wheel grooves. I don't mind that these are made in China--that brings the price to where I can buy--but it does make me worry about Eastwood's quality control when they can't get a little thing like the printing on the sticker correct.
.25 is not1/2 in! .25 is 1/4 in.
Can someone explain why it seems most guys use mig welders on automotive sheet metal than tig welding? I want to buy a tig welder AC/DC but seems like most are using mig.
JDPower 55 Probably because they already own a MIG welder and haven't purchased a TIG welder and become comfortable with it. Some people may prefer the speed of MIG welding. TIG welding is usually going to give you better results for numerous reasons (less heat over a large area, less bead to grind flat, easier to hammer weld). Remember, Eastwood TIG welders come with a 3 Year Warranty and 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
what happens when you to auto helmet fails.what are the chances. location have had a flash once and not funny
What welding uses combustible gas? MIG and TIG uses inert gas.
Forge welding?
LOL @ 25:45.
Wtf. 2013😳
1:59 in he"s rambling quick peak ahead no sparks till 20:00 ... , based on last 6 min good for beginners, but nothing new under the sun.
I am sad to say that I agree 100%. LESS talk and more DO is the secrets of the best instructors. In other words, "CUT TO THE CHASE!"
Actually it is a sales pitch but also some good info
Plastic body panels
jesus this is just one big commercial for Eastwood
It's posted by "Eastwood Company". What did you expect? And other than branding in the background, I don't know if I heard him say Eastwood more than once. Try watching a hunting show. "I shot the deer with this fine Remington 700 bought at Bass Pro with a custom Jewell trigger put in by H&H Custom and shot a 180 grain Remington CoreLokt, but I'd never have found it without the help of my Vortex Crossfire spotting scope." So what kind of animal did you shoot again? I forgot?
Those little edges dont mean shit a good welder with proper machine settings could weld that up no problem !! thats where you separate the boys from the girls !!
Ol School Welding Tips and Tricks
hey man Im getting test in 19v and 160 in MIG but I was wondering is there any way get that perfect tee joint weld like I count 123 sometimes but any tips helps
KING TANK Im just getting started on my RUclips channel , Im trying to get set up to film welding videos and my first video will be ( HOW TO RUN A PERFECT WELD JOINT ) # 1 you grind the mill scale off make sure that both pieces of your joint are clean than I usually spray my weld joint with spatter shield, #2 make sure you have your voltage and wire speed set for your Material thickness and position , I run my machine a little bit hotter than your normal settings But I run faster #3 I personally push my puddle instead of dragging but that is personal preference, I move in a fast forward circle motion when im done my weld looks like herring bones I will show you on my first video how to weld a ( PERFECT) T / BUTT / LAP joint and other vids on out of position welding vertical / horizontal and overhead ... good luck

alright thanks man
thats where you separate good welds and mediocre welds that are good enough
