The reason no weldors talk about this kind of weld is because you’re doing what’s called tack welding, which most weldors don’t do. Most weldors would do a continuous weld on each side instead of a tack welding because it will last longer and will be stronger.
Why not just learn how to run a bead. Or if you insist on tacking it clean the slag off after each tack. With this process the weld is full of slag inclusions and is basically like Swiss cheese.
I was thinking the same thing and I've only done sick welding once. I've done a lot of MIG but I still know that there would be too much crap if you stick weld like that.
@@wrenchbender66 yea, I don’t weld much anymore but I was 6-G GTAW certified and did mig and stick as well. These videos are like torture to watch, but they get people talking about it and that causes their videos to get more views so I guess it works for them.

Because tack welding is a weak weld is why they don't talk about it. "Tack" welding when put under stress will break. There is little to no penetration, and you'd be fired on the spot for this rookie welders do not do this.
What about thin tubing and welding at the ends with a stick welder? Isn't tacking better in this situation or what solution do u do to stop the melting of the tubing on a constant weld.
@Blue Sapphire turn your amperage as low as possible and try to weld. If your having issues with that then turn your amperage up accordingly. You're not gonna lay dimes on thin metal with a stick.
@@Blue1Sapphire depends. If it’s only stick we are talking about, I personally would run 1/8in 7018 rod, dc+, 70amps. And tac all 4 corners, run a consistent bead wrapping all 4 corners.
I'd like to see how much penetration is on the back side of the weld. Why not just use correct amperage and run a bead forhand rather than back hand that way it won't burn thru
ah yes... the long lost secret of how to guarantee a slag inclusion in your weld joint. to be honest I think you're trying to show that welding something in sections can keep it from overheating, but even then, to do so properly, you'd weld a stitch, clean it, and then do a proper tie in with your next stitch
This is like the guy who says he can weld but really cant, to each his own but bring that shii to a real welding shop or any real welder and you will get walked out or maybe even kicked in the ass on the way out...
@@migstickwelder1992 hes 100% correct. If this is your idea of welding, i wouldnt pay you 10 cents an hour for your welds. You tacked the entire joint with a stick and didnt even bother cleaning the slag after each tack. You trapped a bunch of it in every tack. This is absolutely the worst possible way to "weld". Anyone whos taken a day of training could tell you that
@@skipads5141 no, no its not. Its not extremely thin, and its not the way its done. This is not welding, its tacking. Period. End of story.

@@migstickwelder1992 yeah homie youre not fooling anyone thats actually welded before, you clearly have no idea what youre doing or how to properly weld lmao
No one talks about it because you aren’t welding it. You just tacked it over and over and didn’t clean each pass. Shits going to be full of slag and is way weaker than a normal weld.
If you approach all welding with this method, supervision will be giving you all money you’ve earned from show up time to right after they saw you weld.

Yes, but some rods work well on material with a primer or galv on it, 6010, 6011 and 6013. I prefer 6010. And qlwith wire, coreshield if fine also being a gasless fcaw.
@@ML-ks2ljyoud run two passes on a 1/8 tubing how useless is that 😂 here a trick. Take a 3/32 7018 rod and run a bead the heat alone will almost melt straight through.
1) You’d be better off TIG welding that thin metal because the TIG process allows you to be far more precise with the amount and rate of heat and filler metal that you add to your weld. Too much heat and you piece warps or you burn through. Too much filler metal and it excessively builds up on either side of the bead which just increases the time you have to spend cleaning it up with the grinder. 2) Tac welding is temporary and only meant to hold something together long enough to properly weld it
Apparently no one here has had to weld very thin metal with a stick. Trying to run a bead on thin wall tubing is very difficult and quite often burns through causing internal sags. Tack welding thin metal produces cleaner, stronger welds. Been doing it for forty years.
No penetration, those little tack weld’s will break if that tubing gets hit hard. And why not 7018 rods? I fab handrails with a little bit thicker tubing than that all the time and if we can’t mig it we use the 7018’s on carbon

Welders don’t talk about it cause it ain’t a weld, it’s a tack it’s meant to hold a piece of metal together whilst you bind them. It’s not gonna last or hold well.

Welder's DO talk about it... about how bad it is. That's a good way to get porosity. We talk about the many welding processes that are possible for particular applications, the pros and cons, and we decide which process is best. This one shown is not something that a professional welder would choose for such thin material.
