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.
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
@@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.
@@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
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.
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.
I have been fighting that little "stutter" at the start for forever. Thank you for addressing that. You do a continues weld even on thin stuff. Most people use the series of "spot" welds for particularly auto body work. I would prefer to do a continuous weld but to often get blow through.
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.
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
@@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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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!
I just found this channel and i just want to say thank you. I just never could find the right settings the settings it comes with never sounded like bacon now my welder is sounding like bacon thanks again
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
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.
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
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.
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..
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?
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 ...............
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?
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.
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
I'm a little late to the party but any chance you could do this with a lincoln welder that has no digital gauges, just the letters and numbers for adjustment? This was a great video and I will be adapting these techniques to a lincoln sp125, some not all, having a digital gauge seems to be really nice.
It won't work that well. That style of control should come with a look up chart. Usually under the lid where the wire spool is. That will get you very close then make minor adjustments from there. If you don't have anything on the machine Lincoln has all the old manuals online.
you can convert your letters/nubers to inches per minute(IPM) by pulling the trigger for 6 seconds and then measuring the inches of wire and multiplying that length by 10x
Absolutely, I welded with MIG (and many others have!) for years and still dont take any notice of the digital readout, just play until you get the frying bacon and the good weld bead characteristics. You will then be adjusting in small increments depending on weld type (overhead, down, up etc) and metal thickness. Also where possible (if right handed) weld from right to left (pushing) so you can see the weld pool properly.
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?
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.
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
fastyle P. 3/8 and 5/16 are to thick for that wire so they sped up the wire speed a lot to makes sure they had that Penetration. So they had to move fast because it was a lot of wire being fed
@@t046875 for quick or occasionall jobs I guess you can get by without having to pick up a spool of .045 wire. You could also pull with a loop motion and more standard wfs for penitratuon no? Fast is profitable obviously, how about a cut and etch to inspect the results!
Something that I don't hear mentioned these videos is the fact that lengthening your stick out will increase your voltage. So when you are welding try increasing and decreasing your stick out and that will tell you which way to go on your settings. If it improves with more stick out then you need more voltage or less wire . The opposite if it improves with less stick out . This eliminates moving in the wrong direction
@@Ryan_Atomic stick out is the length of wire between your contact tip(not nozzle end)and the metal. it is increased by pulling away from the metal, and decreased by moving closer. In general, your stickup with solid wire should be very short---3/8 inch or less. With flux core wires, polarity is generally opposite(dcen) and sickouts are much longer(up to 2 inches in some cases) to allow more of the wire to preheat and melt the flux before it is vaporized in the arc. I believe Joe is incorrect about voltage.....MIG is a CV or constant voltage process......voltage remains the same whether stickout is long or short, but with increasing stickout, the circuit has more resistance, so the amperage drops with increased stickout. you will notice this as a change in the arc sound as you pull further away from the workpiece. usually it starts popping, telling you to shorten your distance. the contrary is also true...if you shorten your distance the frying bacon sound may begin to be a steady hiss sound(spray transfer sound).
Joe Dirt This changes amperage, not voltage, if your amperage (or wire feed) is too high, further away from your work will be better, so decreasing your amperage will fix this.
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.
Hi, Great video could you give me setting for 2mm thick steel box section its got like a black skin on this is it right to remove this and chamfer the edges plus what cfm gas rate should be please. Would really appreciate your help. Ps using co2 argon mix. Thank you. Jay.
Always put gas flow between 30 cfh and 40 cfh. Small nozzle closer to 30cfh big nozzle closer to 40cfh. Tube that thin is pretty straight forward. About 18V and wire speed depending on wire diameter between 150ipm and 300ipm.

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

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.
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.

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.
why did you stack dimes on thoes thinner plates but not on thicker is the penetration better or what ?
What’s the name of the tool used in the beginning to determine metal gauge and wire size?
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
Yo you killed this class
Fantastic lines! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is the video I've been looking for! Thanks
Sweet, I just got my 1st MIG and man I am atrocious, but hey we have to start somewhere :) Thanks for a great TT
Thanks for letting us know that. Good lesson
Is that tubing, what metal classification is that? Light carbon steel ?
I just closed my eyes and listened to this for a while.
Do the settings change if you are pushing?
what tip movement do you suggest? Cursive cccccc or iiiiiiii or ooooo etc
What is the type of gas used by my health friend? How is the gaź flow adjusted according to the ampere?
on thin stuff, try and run hot and slightly push weld. It will flatten right out and use less wire and less heat on base metal.

@@Ryan_Atomic stick out is the length of wire between your contact tip(not nozzle end)and the metal. it is increased by pulling away from the metal, and decreased by moving closer. In general, your stickup with solid wire should be very short---3/8 inch or less. With flux core wires, polarity is generally opposite(dcen) and sickouts are much longer(up to 2 inches in some cases) to allow more of the wire to preheat and melt the flux before it is vaporized in the arc. I believe Joe is incorrect about voltage.....MIG is a CV or constant voltage process......voltage remains the same whether stickout is long or short, but with increasing stickout, the circuit has more resistance, so the amperage drops with increased stickout. you will notice this as a change in the arc sound as you pull further away from the workpiece. usually it starts popping, telling you to shorten your distance. the contrary is also true...if you shorten your distance the frying bacon sound may begin to be a steady hiss sound(spray transfer sound).
Joe Dirt This changes amperage, not voltage, if your amperage (or wire feed) is too high, further away from your work will be better, so decreasing your amperage will fix this.
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.
Only way to set a mig is by listening to it..
Old Machinist and I've noticed the same "Bacon" sound taking a cut on a Lathe.
What if you are deaf?
Use the 1 amp per .001 thickness method. Try to add 5-15 amps on top of it
Can you show this for aluminum?
Great video,and thx for sharing,very useful
Hi, Great video could you give me setting for 2mm thick steel box section its got like a black skin on this is it right to remove this and chamfer the edges plus what cfm gas rate should be please. Would really appreciate your help. Ps using co2 argon mix.
Thank you.
Jay.
Always put gas flow between 30 cfh and 40 cfh. Small nozzle closer to 30cfh big nozzle closer to 40cfh. Tube that thin is pretty straight forward. About 18V and wire speed depending on wire diameter between 150ipm and 300ipm.
@@geoffmooregm Thank you.
@@JaySingh-ex6xc 25 cfh is generally enough 12 lpm, go more and just waste your gas.
he has a decent welder can we reproduce the same quality weld with the smaller cheaper welders or not
Should you be pre-heating the 1/4” and 3/8”?
No 1.5" 150 degrees tho 2.5 3.5 250 I think?
My E series Everlast doesn't have any markings on the dials. No idea what the settings are.
white marker could solve that problem
My new welderdoes not have feed adjustment, its supposed to be tuned to the welder amps, should I get rid of it?
You cant adjust WFS and voltage independently? What machine is it?
Reboot, ive returned it and gotnfull refund
Easy to understand...thanks...
Excellent tutorial and video. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
