Today I show you how to cut out a crack on a piece of equipment when you have no compressed air! I do a ton of crack repair and there are a lot of ways to gouge a crack before welding. You could grind it, you could use a scarfing tip on a torch you could also use a carbon arc. Today I show you a alternate from Rockmount Research and Alloys.
Here’s some tools I used
- Optrell Welding Helmet- amzn.to/43mf3aW
FR welding Jump suit - amzn.to/3POhHDf
Caiman welding gloves- amzn.to/3XHh9Ro
Black stallion neck protector- amzn.to/3O5DGUQ

Hey man love all the videos been watching for awhile...thinking of starting my own thing fixing farm equipment around my area in Upstate NY. How do you figure out a $$ per hour? I don't wanna overcharge people especially just starting out but I know my shit and don't cut corners. I was thinking of 65 an hour but I'm not sure if that's low or high to be honest. I'd really love to hear back. Keep the videos up man loving them.
@@upstatesfinest4256 hey man just saw your question. I know I'm not Anthony lol but I think I can point you in the right direction. Anthony has made a video on how to figure out an honest and logical hourly rate. I'd go check out his video on it, he's actually spot on with his advice. First you need to know what it cost you per day to operate. That much I will tell you. Once you figure that out the rest should fall into place. I've recently started my own welding service myself. I've only got a Hobart 110 mig welder right now but there is a company that has me do quite a bit of work and they actually have a welder generator I use on site. So it's a blessing. I actually have done quite a bit of jobs with my 110 Hobart. Heck I even did custom rails for a balcony. But anyways I'm in the process of making a welding trailer and saving for a welder generator to put on it. So I do have some experience with being out here and pricing. I hope all that helps and go check out Anthony's video on pricing.
Most of us have been under a molten blob storm at one time or another but this one was extreme. I know they don't stop burning for a long time once they hit skin. The gift that keeps on giving!
*First time you catch one in the ear you learn all kinds of new words. We use this pecking or sawing motion with 6013 on lunchbox inverters to "drill" shackle holes in road plates. Surprising but you can get through 3/8 or even 1/2" with 120V lunchbox welder in twenty seconds.*
Love the vid! Instead of Meltin Metal Anthony... this was Meltin Metal ON Anthony.
🤣
Most of my first 6010 welds ended up looking like this.
You are a hard working man, I sure hate it when you catch on fire, have a blessed day América
my new favorite weld channel!! love it brotha!!!
Why would you not gouge about 1/3 of the pipe, weld it, then gouge another 1/3 and so on? That would ensure that any tweaked frame wouldn't separate or close the gap and generally maintain machine geometry. I agree. We welders gotta catch on fire a few times before we take the time to STOP WELDING and start thinking.. We are welders. We want to have that hood down and look at the pretty lights!
here in Australia we have a product called "burn Aid", it is a water bassed gel with some tea tree oil in it.
Available in packages from small sachets, tubes and full blown trama dressings.
It brings instant and lasting relief and improved healing.
I prefeer to keep the sachets, they stay sealed and clean.
you can carry them in your pocket or anywhere
They work even better if you keep them in the fridge or your lunch icebox.
.
I am sure you will have a similar product where you are.
keep some with you always, you will bless the day.
ask for burn gel.
Thanks man! I’ll look into it. I got a nasty burn on the back
hey man im learning alot from you and i really appreciate your videos
Definitely going to give it a try and order a few boxes.
great vid as usual
Appreciate that
Great repair. Mmm knocked it out of the park again.
I saw your video last week of the rods used to gouge. I'm ordering some this week for a job I need to do. I'll be sure to let them know you sent me. Can't wait to try them honestly. It's on a sheer at a scrap yard I do welding for. I get to use their machine and they get to use a certified welder lol. I'll make a video of it and show the results.
Awesome send it to me on Instagram!
@@MeltinMetalAnthonymost certainly will.
I would have tried using a 45 amp plasma cutter to gouge or separate and fab a replacement section. Just utilizing what I have now.
For what that rod did, I would have just blown through with a torch and cry those gaping gaps shut. That looked like a nasty time. I won't be adding those to the arsenal. Carbon arc is much cleaner, faster and looks like a lot less painful. And I would have just taken that off right from jump street. Love your videos. Sometimes I get PTSD just watching. I am working on my 'new' truck and one of the most important features is the new much bigger air compressor. Long live carbon arc gouging!!
Looks like a really cool product I'm kind of hard headed I love my carbon gouger and my die grinder followed up with a needle scaler I try it but it has to be something that belong to me and I don't have anything broken right now looks like a really cool product
It’s great if carbon isn’t a option. Also can be used to remove carbon deposits if you make a mistake.
@MeltinMetalAnthony well that's interesting usually the only other way to remove carbon deposits just with a die grinder and a high speed Steel bur. That's really interesting I'm going to go check out the specs on this rod have a good one bud.
I forgot all about the gouging rods. I remember the video where you tried them out, I was gonna order some but forgot. I'll order some right away before I forget again. They'll be handy to have around and I really wanna play with them to see what they can do and if I'm any good at using them. Are they more like using a primitive torch? or like cranking the amps and using an overly thick diameter rod to burn through something? I've been using my little plasma cutter to gouge but still wanna fool around with these Electra AAA Arc gouging rods.
Great video and I can say that it's been at least a year since I set myself on fire (unless you count setting ablaze the frayed edges of the holes in my jeans while showing someone how to MIG weld). I have actually used a welding blanket to cover myself with when gouging under heavy trailers or even welding under them on my back. Got enough holes in my clothes and enough little burn marks on my body.
Great video and have a great week
May as use 6011 turned up to max. Same result
Honestly, i think I'd stick with oxy acetylene gouging if i didnt have air. Im not sure this is much faster, better, cheaper or safer. Maybe in a pinch if you ran out of gasses....
They work better than scarfing I my opinion. They are cool to have also in case you get a carbon deposit while gouging. These will burn it out also
those type rods been around alot of years they are really good if you have to cut or burn holes in thick cast iron such as manhole covers or curb backs but on steel there ok but not very efficient i know you used them for demostration purpose but you could have easily have gotten a grinder around on that joint that tube look no more than 1/4 wall those rods also good for burning off rust bolts and rods and clips i also had a goober land on my auto dark lense just like you had while overhead welding and now i double clear cover plate to prevent burn thru good video but we never saw the repair
Holy shit again Rockstar!! A true professional can lay under those sparks and not jump around like a little kid hopped up on mt dew!! We know damn well you had hot ones hittin your neck while you were under there🤣🤣. Solid work my man!! Once it was off the machine I thought, “Rockstar’s gonna make this fuc*** good as new”! Have a great week!!
6010/6011 will do the same thing if you dip them in water first
What a mess, I’ll stick with arc gouging or torch gouging. I’m not convinced.
Wouldnt it be the same with exception for the slag to use 7018 1/8 @ the amps you ran for that rod or even higher. Ive cut steel in a pinch that way. Just bump it up all the way and start carving out metal.
I've caught clothing on fire but can't say ive ever got a hood on fire! Lol
How long does it take to get the merch approximately? waiting on my hat and stickers!
Be sure to try welding something with that optrel crystal you used there. I received my one today, and fuck me days the optics are good. Fucking amazeballs helmet visually I reckons.
Do you think this is more or less aggressive than carbon arc gouging?
I would say less. But it’s great option if you don’t have air
Its cool how they work in australia they are called astro rods lol cause they look like shooting stars haha
We call them smoke rods around here.
Great content buddy. Am I correct in saying that it looks like the air-less carbon rod has a more stable arc? Sounds a lot easier on your trailblazer.
Cool video they look like a real handy bit of kit so useful just need to stop setting your self on fire 😂 be safe we need your advice 👍👍
Lmao I’ll do my best!
Does your miller machine have a turbo?
These fuckin things are pretty kool! Idk if one of those fancy hoods would take the abuse of your world. But if they sent you a trial, couldn't hurt nothing. Maybe even prove their not just a shop toy
Sorry but I cannot see the point of these rods.
Now if this isn't real life of a welder getting burned then I don't know what is
First thing you should do with cracks is nail the ends otherwise you can end up pushing it further
Tell me you’ve never fixed cracks without saying it
@@MeltinMetalAnthony
Actually ive done alot of crack repair as i worked a few yrs in a shop that repaired crushers and there component’s for the mining and aggregate sectors. And the abuse these machines take and how long they would put off repair as its the money maker for the mines and such. When i first started id mag particle a part find crack say 10” long start gouging be a cpl 3 feet long by the time youd be done then to have one of the old timers share this tip and not being one to think i know everything about everything and there isnt a better way to do something i tried it saved time and saved burning myself in the process and if you take a minute to think about the pressures and forces your putting into a part with the ACAG process giving it a space to relieve that pressure and force from the rapid heating and expansion of the material might make some sense but whatever
👍👍
How about comparing this rod, traditional air arc, scarfing tip torch, and grinder. And if you were even more motivated... Gas saw with abrasive blade
😎👍
👍
I’m I on fire. I have said that keep up the good work
Rookie mistake Bonfire Boy 👏
You think it’s a good alternative for gouging with smaller machines? I don’t have the balls to carbon arc with my bobcat 250 but curious about these
I don’t think they are better than carbon arc but the positives are no air and no deposits
@@MeltinMetalAnthony right. I was more so curious as to the stress on the machine and the risk to frying a board
@@Froggies505
I arc gouge with my Ranger 250 all the time. I would prefer a bigger machine but when I bought this one, it was all my F350 would hold along with all the tools and equipment I carry. My new truck is an F450 SD with the 84" wb. So when new welder day comes along...A bigger welder is in the cards.
@@vesslewis9166 you are ballsy. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people who know a hell of a lot more than me. And gouging on these smaller inverter machines pretty risky haha. I know a few people now who have burned up fairly new machines.
@@Froggies505 When I first started, I bought a Hobart Champion 16 for $500 and arc gouged with that for 3 years then sold it for $750 in still good working order. Now, it sucked, granted , but it did it. I then used a Hobart pipeliner 300 for several years. The Ranger does decent but a 300 would be better. I carry alot of tools so anything bigger would require quite a bit more truck. I'm getting close to calling it a day so I don't want to spend a bunch more money.
Is he really supporting that blade with a hydraulic jack
Game changer of a rod but Smokey as fuk
Cheers from Nova Scotia
For sure!
I could’ve done that with 6010. I think it got worse doing that crap. Come on ✌🏼
Gouging looks like more trouble than it's worth You notching with angle grinder looks way easy. No burns down your back.🔥🔥
Definitely not. I do a lot of frame crack repairs air arch gouging is the way to go this will definitely work I would’ve definitely use an oxygen/ acetylene gouge tip on a torch before I use the rod or use a gouge rod with air wand blowing the puddle in a stinger either way what he’s doing is 1 million times better than just using the grinder alone
I don't do it for a living so it's hard to judge the speed just doesn't look fun underneath there with those sparklers
I have used with air. How does that work with no air👍👎
Not sure! Maybe the extreme angle
Hay don't make an ash of yourself! 🤣 (I'm a welder too, I know *exactly* how it is...)
Sorry about all the fuckery but I keep trying to reply to a comment and it keeps going to a completely different comment that is not related. I tried to delete it and put it on the proper comment but it goes right back the same one. There's probably multiple non-sensical replies so I apologize for that...and give up.
Hey man. I know you're not big on people's opinions but here is my 2 cents. Them rods, while cool, are a waste of time. You could have had those cracks gouged out with a arc gouger or a torch in less then half the time. I love the videos man keep up the good work
Can anyone tell me if the trailblazer 302 can do Aluminum tig
With a control box you can idk which one
Folks jack up cars then place jack stands before getting underneath. Why not do that here? That blade looks like it might hurt if it came down.
Look harder
Never good to chase crack, just saying
So just leave it? The heat was exposing it
@@MeltinMetalAnthony sorry bud, I was trying to be funny, not that type of crack 😂
Any of the big baller mfs wanna give away free air arc setups, since it's so much easier to get than a simple box of rods? Lol. No shit the air setup is better, that isn't the point
better to cut off the links and replace the bar....
Yes. Any non-hack could see this. This is embarrassing.
The only way to go. The problem area has been expanded here, not repaired. R&R.
Well it’s stood together for 2 months now so it must’ve worked
@@MeltinMetalAnthony. Did the customer not want a fully fabbed replacement tube?
Cobon ark is faster.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But you need air!
But you had a compressor!
Ffs just get some carbons a compressor and a bigger welder
Sorry but this doesn't look better than using a grinder or a scarfing tip. Definitely not a replacement for air arc.
exactly this guy don't know nothing about air gouging
It replaces air arc when AIR IS NOT AVAILABLE. Sheesh... Some people's kids, Right?
