Great video man. What amperage you used for this. Today I tries welding 18g at 40A, the lowest on my machine and it was a disaster. Every tack burned a hole. I used 0.030 wire. Ended riveting the sheets together.
I got thrown into doing this overhead on panels in assembly line. blew through the shit 50 percent of the time the first day, second day has zero penetration with some dog shit not even on the parent metal. I just dab it like this now and have a sore ass finger
I am having a lot of trouble welding long M4 nuts (||) onto M4 round rod (===) (Mig, flux, polarity changed) like this: ||=== . It usually does not stick - there´s welding seam on the rod, then on the nut, but it does not reach into the actual joint. Should I use little power and just feed wire directly into the joint, or should I use medium power and approach the joint? (been trying to approach from the rod to the nut - doesn´t stick and usually melts the wire) Thank you!!
What is your suggestion for welding 24g galvanized. My schools set up is 100% co2 0.30 but i blow through it or my welds look like I’m running to cold without gas.
Been practicing on some thin gauge scrap tubing with my flux core welder. More holes than a Swiss cheese but good fun and very slowly learning - especially the need for good quality wire and ground clamp ! At 50 amps minimum setting far to hot really but getting there.
I love watching your videos Honestly I like longer videos so I wish you had some longer ones with more info and instruction but I realize I’m probably the exception If you do ever make longer ones just know I’m all in! Thanks for making content!
How do exhaust guys stick weld 16g rusted pipes? Old guy was going at it with a stick welder and was making some nice beads without burning through or sticking...how? Im always sticking, or turning up the amps and blowing through. Maybe high amps with thin rods?
I enjoyed watching this mig welding on thin metal very informative for me. I am new and just recently got a Klutch 140i mig/flux welder. What would be the best-suggested setting to use on this welder to mig weld thin metal?
To do that, you set the welder a few amps hotter than you would for the thinner material, then start your arc on the thicker material and wash the puddle onto the thinner material. You also want the arc/torch angle to be pointed so most of the heat is directed onto the thicker material.
I weld 16 Gauge at work and I run my voltage at 180 and my wire speed at 190. Going from pipe to sheet metal took me 2 days to grasp and I sometimes still have difficulty with it but only because it's something I'm not 100 percent used to
How do I make the rust not come back? Lol...getting a wheel well repaired with new metal and people keep saying the rust will come back. Esp at the weld spot in future because water will somehow get in...really bummed about this because I just got the car smh.. can I Plasti dip over the repair to ensure no water ever comes into contact with the weld repair again? Lol. Best options to make sure the wheel well doesn't rust again at the weld spot ? Thanks for any replies. Need some optimism lol. Going to be paying $800 for a wheel well repair ( cut out old metal and weld in new )
I am not a welder and have no knowledge on the subject, so I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out with some idea I have. I would like to make a mailbox out of two of those typical mailboxes found in the US. The idea is to fit it in an existing brick enclosure and have a door on the back I can use to retrieve my mail without stepping on the street. What I would like to do is to remove the back of one of the units, cut a section of the front of the other one and join them together. Is there a type of weld that could be used on that very thin metal used in U.S. mailboxes?
I'd like to see any videos you put up on welding sheet metal. Such as, ones explaining wfs and volts.
I've definitely blown through my share of sheet metal. Please do a video tacking stamped ornamentals (leaves, etc) to square bar, etc. Thanks!
1/8" is 11 gauge. 16 gauge is around .060".
So move around so the heat don't build up✔
This video was great, nice and short and exactly the information I needed 🙌
Do you suppose this would work for building custom 1/10 scale RC cars out of thin sheet metal like this?
Downhill welds i find lets you get a decent weld on thinner plate

What's ur settings
Can you talk about 14 gauge on right angles.

What power setting and wire speed should I set on my unit?

Thank You, that Is Exactly My Thought!!

I just learned this my self today for the first time welding 16G using unshielded wire .030. Spot welding all the way for all joins did the trick.
Newbie here. May i ask the name of the welding machine that you use? Tnx!
What would be Dia of mig wire, during process. If I weld similar thickness material use in your video.
Standard for thin material is .023"/.58mm solid wire.
How low power and wire feed?
How many amps?
Don't even show the welding result, wire size, wire speed or voltage used.......
Cool man!
That would be 0.6mm mig wire
Huh? Is this vid a prank? He literally did not teach anything
Info seems good.
Then he starts talking imperial....
why does everyone on you tube just lay tacks on top of each other when it gets thin lol hahaha just weld it
or hire a professional
I love watching your videos

I agree. Longer more in depth video.
What wire speed and heat settings are we talking about?
2:18 wasted

Would you adjust anything in terms of amperage? If so what level are you looking at?
Test strips. Always have scraps on hand to test and see what changes you should potentially make.
anyone else watching this in prep for welding a boom vader fuel tank?
But you didn't talk about machine settings...
I enjoyed watching this mig welding on thin metal very informative for me. I am new and just recently got a Klutch 140i mig/flux welder. What would be the best-suggested setting to use on this welder to mig weld thin metal?
My issue is usually welding thin gauge to thick gauge square tubing. Almost always blowing out the edges of the thin guage material
To do that, you set the welder a few amps hotter than you would for the thinner material, then start your arc on the thicker material and wash the puddle onto the thinner material. You also want the arc/torch angle to be pointed so most of the heat is directed onto the thicker material.
Need to know settings...
Short vids are great

Literally this video….
You can run down as well and stich welds
