If it sounds like bacon , you’re welding
If it smells like bacon, you’re on fire
LOL YUMMY BACON
I appreciate your help with these videos. Am a newbie welder and this journey can get expensive. Tips from pros go a long way. Love and respect from Zimbabwe, Africa.
*For All The People Trying To Write it Down What Settings For What gauge I have Typed It All Down For Yall.*
*FEED WIRE GUAGE* - 0.030"
*Material Thickness* - 22 Gauge | *Volts* - 18v | *Wire Feed* - 110 IPM
*Material Thickness* - 18 Gauge | *Volts* - 18.3v | *Wire Feed* - 149 IPM
*Material Thickness* - 16 Gauge | *Volts* - 18.5v | *Wire Feed* - 149 IPM
*Material Thickness* - 14 Gauge | *Volts* - 18.5v | *Wire Feed* - 160 IPM
*Material Thickness* - 1/8" | *Volts* - 18.9v | *Wire Feed* - 188 IPM
*Material Thickness* - 3/16" | *Volts* - 19.5v | *Wire Feed* - 240 IPM

Thanks for doing that. The last one in your list and the one missing should be:
Material Thickness - 5/16" | Volts - 23v | Wire Feed - 512 IPM
Material Thickness - 3/8" | Volts - 23.5v | Wire Feed - 535 IPM
Great video and absolutely the BEST video quality I have see. Your exposure is perfect which is very tricky with welding of any kind. Great work. Thank you!
Great video production and camera work. The instructions were very good. Coming from a stick and TIG background I needed this help. Now to pick out a machine for an upcoming project.
I was waiting to take a screen shot of your final list of settings for my reference. But great vid anyway.
Same 🤣🤣🤣 and Im not sure if he adjusted his gas
Yes, very good point ....but understand that every machine performs differently and he left out a great deal of detail. The take-away will be the experimentation process only.
When making adjustments, change only one parameter at a time.

Brilliant video with you being able to see the welding first hand and what realy stood out was the BACON sound. Thanks alot.
This is hands down one of the most informative videos I’ve seen on setting my mig welds correctly. Thank you!
indeed. i really wanted to look at a table that shows how the voltage-amperage-wire speed work in tandem based on the width of the material.
@@duxromanorum9861 That would be tough because the amount of steel available for heat sink purposes varies greatly. Doing a 4x6” filet weld in welding school is a lot different from welding the hull of a ship. But one of the pros of MIG - oops - GMAW - is that it allows longer welds because of the continuous wire feed. As the metal heats up you can go faster snd only experience will help you there.
@@jockellis aren't ships generally now done with subarc
@@peetky8645 Didn’t know they taught submarines to weld. Only kidding. Our welding instructor only told us about WW II era ships and the history of MIG. That wasn’t mentioned in my CWI class either. I’ll have to ask those instructors since they were headquartered on the Southern coast for many years in their own welding inspection business.
@@jockellis I think the chinese and koreans have perfected how to do this --catching the flux mixture while moving horizontally and vertical in tough, but it allows them to weld 1/2 inch plate with full pen in a single pass quickly
I’ve watched plenty of Mig videos and must say I enjoyed this one. Thanks for the pointers.
This is exact what I needed to see. Great information. Thanks.
Great video as usual. I used to take scrap pieces and place them near my mig box and weld while slowly adjusting the wire speed to tune it in. That works exceptionally well.
What a great video! This will save tons of dialing-in time, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic lines! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have a weld test tomarrow for a new job I haven't welded in over a year thanks for reminding me a close estimate for what settings I'll be needing I feel much more confident passing now
I hope you passed it with flying colors bro
Hope you passed the cert 🙏👍✌
You never forgot brother. You're thinking too much.
I know its a late comment but always ask for.a test plate! During test.. To set your heat! A must
@@ChirishOD dude your right I was way over thinking it I passed it easy they let me me do a couple test passes and it was like riding a bike 👌
Me too 🤣
Lots of welding videos out there. But this is one of Mancubs best. I used this to dial in my cyclone 200e
I learned more in 5 minutes here than 4 years of HS. Teacher was clueless. I remember asking him about the “bacon” sound in 1980.
For a new welder, this is a wealth of info. Thanks
🙏
Not if your settings are 1-9 power and 1-9 wire speed, like on my Lincoln at work
Awesome video mancub...very helpfull indeed .
I’m loving my new everlast mts lightening 225!
Me too 😊
Excellent Demo I hope to improve my welding and write the setting down, Thanks Miguel
The newer machines are "conversational" where you are "asked" what process, gas or flux core for MIG, type of material and thickness afterwhich it sets everything for you.
You can adjust feeds & speeds from there plus put them in memory.
It also helps having Lincoln/Miller's little slide rule setting charts that were passed out back in the day 20 years ago.
that was a fantastic video. the camera capturing the weld puddle so clearly, the bacon sound, that all helped me understand so much. and on top of that some great settings to use. too bad i have a gassless mig and only two settings for wire speed etc. but still very helpful nonetheless.
Best mig settings vid I've seen! Subscribed
Excellent tutorial and video. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
This is the video I've been looking for! Thanks
Wow, this was so helpful. I was super frustrated with my poor welding. This video taught me how to learn my welder. Thank you!
So very helpful. Thank you. I've done a wee bit of welding on MIG and TIG machines I'm allowed to use, but have just acquired the first machine I can call my own -- a three year old, never even turned on, Everlast i-MIG 200. Your video gave so many good hints and explanations.
This machine came with a small spool of 0.023, and a smallish 84cf bottle of 75/25 argon/co2. Two questions: (#1) What is main impact of using straight CO2 (or you said 90/10) vs. 75/25 Ar/CO2? (#2) Can I use this i-MIG 200 (with heavier wire) for t-joints on 3/8 bar? or 5/16?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Great video. The only everlast 315 video I've seen! I'm curious about the arc force knob. I recently purchased the same machine.
The last project I did with square tubing taught me that the type of joint affects heat requirements as much as the material thickness. e.g. A Tee joint needs more heat to get decent penetration than a simple butt joint. I made up a table of settings that included the number of legs in the joint. Butt = 2, Tee = 3, two tubes together = 4...
I have a Nice open door for you as well.
Para los calibres 5/16 y 3/8 " es aconsejable aplicarle en transferencia spray ya que son de mayor espesor parámetros entre 26 y 28 voltios con unos 280 0 300 ipm.
Great video mate.. Thanks
Thanks for letting us know that. Good lesson
I was getting ready to say man I used the wrong settings but then you got to the gas difference and spray transfer and it made more sense because where I welded we always used a gas mixture
Very helpful! Thanks
Easy to understand...thanks...
Thanks for information 😊
Do you have a video with setting adjustments when you're welding 2 different thicknesses of material? 14 gauge to 1/8" for example... this was a great video, thanks. My only suggestion would be the final list of settings completed at the end.
great idea to start thanks
Amazing Welds!!!........Thanks!!
Thank you man. Very educational. It reminds me again about that bacon sound setting. Respect.
what a nice sounds .....beautiful....THANKS MATE AND GOD BLESS
Great info! Sometimes I just pull the trigger and turn volts or wire speed simultaneously until it sounds right! Quick n easy
Nice....!!!
Thanks for enjoyable study ✅👍✨
Great video,and thx for sharing,very useful
best video ever! thank you so much!!!!!
thanks for the video man, i appreciate it.
Great video thanks. I’m having trouble with .134 wall 1-5/8” od mild steel tubing. Since 3/4 of the weld is vertical or over head I keep getting puddle dripping . Looks fine on a flat bench weld for that thickness. Garbage around the tube. Thanks.
you are very professional sir,,,,... welder from philippines
Hope it is useful,good job
Thank you for the info!💚💚💚
Por favor, pongan subtitulos en español para el mundo hispano que vemos sus videos y tenemos equipos Everlast.
Thanks man good stuff
Very helpful !!!
Thanks very much for your time and yeah it' is so 👌 productive 📹 🎥 video
This is very helpful... what would have been more helpful was the screen you added on your 200 amp mig (i-mig 200 e) after I bought mine... I have to count the ticks and approximate 18.5v and 149ipm on dials that don't tell me what they do... Are the dials - labeled 1-10 - linear with the ranges in the owners' manual?
Would like to see a list like this for using Blue Demon 308 flux core for stainless steel. Thanks Ron
Yo you killed this class
Wow. Nice welds.
Would the settings be the same for flux mig welds no gas?
Thanks bro
Thanks brother ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips. I'm learning mig welding with a harbor freight (chicago electric) 125 amps welder. My welds currently look like corn diarrhea but I hope to make smooth welds soon
What thickness of metal, wire size, and position are you practicing on?
@@nicholassullivan1239 1/8" mild steel sheets and 1.5mm galvanized square steel tube, using 0.035 flux core wire. About position, I don't know, but I definitely don't have a fixed position for welding, I just chose whatever feels comfortable at the moment, trying to have the gun at a 45° angle
Keep practicing with that then move up to a Lincoln 140 mig with a argon tank!!! It will change your life!! Trust me that’s what I did
He said "corn diarrhea" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Gun angle is important, I usually go no more then 15 degrees unless I need to in tight spots.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I HAVE HAD MY EVERLAST LIGHTNING 275 SINCE JANUARY AND I HAVE BEEN BEGGING EVERY CHANNEL I KNOW TO DO SMALL SHEETMETAL.... NOW IF YOU COULD DO TIG(THE SAME EXACT WAY), I WOULD SHUT UP AND WELD!!!! THANKS BROTHER!!!!
hey chat, i have a 275. running .035 wire. did the 1.6 conversion for amps. his numbers don't match up. 18v on 22 gauge is instant burn through. i have a good map now of settings for .035. what are your findings with the 275? how are you enjoying it?
@@spinalfusionshop I love the welder.... but yeah I agree on the 1.6.... I am using .023 wire
Basic heat settings with tig is 1amp per .001". Example 1/8"steel plate would be .125" so 125amps for heat is a good start.
Very helpful !!! Can you also drag on a 1/4" mild steel tee joint ? Can you do also do a demonstration on a 1/4" mild steel butt joint using Mig please ?
You deserve more likes.
I know this is mig . I'm learning mig tig and stick for steel and stainless. This 1 issue I keep having is getting my angles correct. Any tip of how to correct this . Seems everyone answer is time but if I dont fix it then time will not help. My welds are mostly correct good height and penetration.
I have a question I have a everlast MTS 252 and I'm using synergy mode can you possibly make a video how to adjust wire and voltage speeds on this type of machine it's very confusing I'm new to this machine I'm new to welding
What can you tell me about corner to corner on 3mm steel where a bead needs to be left on the inside? Pressure vessel. Should I risk a slow hot burn on the MIGir go for more controlled fire with TIG?
Thanks Man Cub. Nice video👍🏻
Sweet, I just got my 1st MIG and man I am atrocious, but hey we have to start somewhere :) Thanks for a great TT
welding is life
Can you do a mig crash course ie setting up you welder. Im having hard time learning how to std mig and Synegic mod i have a mts 252 Everlast welder.. for thin sheet metal for autobody..
Will these settings work on other welders like miller?
Thank you sir I should of took a welding class years back rebuilding a 4x4 truck that would of helped.
Great video,thank you very much. I am surprised your good weldings with Co2!
Good stuff bro
Just started welding last week , teacher has me welding 16 gauge clips to 1/2 I can weld the outside ( decent enough to pass ) but when I have to weld inside the clip I burn 🔥 it up been on it for two days , teacher told me keep messing with it but it’s frustrating, last week when I started it was on a Miller this week a Lincoln
Any advice for fusing 10 and 18 gauge? Great video, very helpful! 👍
No hi by
Aim the majority of the heat (mig wire)at the thicker material. If using TIG, aim the arc at the thicker material.
I would love to throw a few welds here in the UK and compare them with my mig
What is the type of gas used by my health friend? How is the gaź flow adjusted according to the ampere?
what tip movement do you suggest? Cursive cccccc or iiiiiiii or ooooo etc
Can you do a video on .045 wire and dual shield Thanks
So did you leave your Gas on 25CFH thro all of those different Thicknesses? Also, exactly what type of Gas were you using? You said C02, were you running 100% C02?
I’ve always ran 75/25 when Mig Welding
Will the same settings work with argon?
So would this be called dragging or pushing because it actually looks like its in-between both?? Beautiful job by the way 👍
in most cases it is recommended to push when mig welding
How much does 75/25 arco2 blend change these figures. Thanks this was very helpful and timely! My imig 275s thanks you
Generally you subtract .5-1 volts for 75/25.
@@everlastgenerator thank you
I came to ask this question, nice to see it's already been asked and answered. Also very nice to see all these videos that have been uploaded over the last year.
Time to finally figure out how to put my PowerMIG 200 to use.
@@everlastgenerator good to know, I have a 252 STi, but I dont use it often enough to remember good settings, and I don't believe the manual has any to start off with.
ALSO WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND ON 20 GA.??
Would like to know what setting you use on the burn back setting Thanks Ron
LOL burn back. I only use that if I have my settings nice but have issues at the start of the weld. Oh and if I am doing some random positional welding.
What kind of camera using
A good welder has a ear for the sweet sound of a mig.
You like the sound of farts?
Say your connecting 2 different thicknesses of metal. Maybe .090 to .185 ? Is it correct to set speed & voltage for the .090 & weld in the middle ? Or, would I try to set the speed & voltage for the .185 and try to weld more on the side of the thicker pcs. ??
Thanks for your consideration,
Sincerely ...............
What’s the name of the tool used in the beginning to determine metal gauge and wire size?
What is settings of 10mm plate or 3/8 sir the volts and wfs?for flat and vertical,overhead?
Excuse me sir, If i use 1mm wire and and material is under 1mm so what is the volume of voltage and amper?
Any chance you could do a video on .045 LA-100 wire?
I’ve been using it at work for a while with no training, I’ve gotten used to it but would like to know how a pro would use it.
I get mixed info from my coworkers. Some say to lower my IPM and increase my voltage and others tell me to crank up both.
The material I’m welding is pretty thick, ranging from 1.5in up to about 5in.
I typically run my IPM around 350 and I have my settings set to trim instead of volts. I run my trim around .98.
My welds aren’t defective or anything I would just like them to look a little prettier
have you searched for the manufacturers data sheet? good place to start....they will often have a tech support that you could email a question to.
Already printed it out and stuck it on the side of my Everlast!!
Do the settings change if you are pushing?
Will this work for stainless?
I have a Hobart 210MVP welder with TAP voltage settings. Lowest Tap is 19v. I have infinite WFS, but how can I weld sheet metal with 19 volts ???
Is that tubing, what metal classification is that? Light carbon steel ?
How to these settings transfer to a co2 argon mix?
