been welding since 1994 kids keep welding with new trick on tig and mig ugh learning every day the cup on the dry rig has changed over the years glass lens only . i can lay a weld down but i bet a new guy can make me look bad . change is good i got your number younging thank you
Gotta say, I've been watching and skipping through the endless supply of welding videos on RUclips. The majority of em. Are just ho hum, No info or nothing interesting again. It was so nice to actually find one that I even hit notification bell on. You my friend are the real deal. Can't wait to see if you have any more videos, Or when the next shows up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep calm and weld on.
great stuff!! thats one the best ways to find the center , but an ol timer taught me that you gotta divide your O.D by half after leveling your pipe and using your big square (depending on pipe) and level mark it and there you have a true center 👍🏻
Awesome technique. I was a fitter for almost 2 year making railings, staircases, ladders, fitting structural beams and the works and I'm telling you this job will make you do things you thought you werent capable of. You learn new tricks every single day. I miss it now.
I have never seen that center punch mark trick to keep from losing the marks! That is definitely going on the mental to box. Great info, great video. Thanks 👍
A carbide holesaw would have cut the whole 5 times faster. And little filing after. Welders and fitters like to use harder/ old style techniques. Make it more complicated
@@southpaw602 i grew up in the trades. U have an old timer show u how's its done. But year's go on technology and the new and approved keeps coming out. And the older guys still use the same techniques. Which I have no problems with. I respect and listen to the older guys. But there's always those things the younger guy shows the older guy and the older guy goes well ill be dam. That thing is pretty cool. Wish I had that back in the day. Welders/fitters like to use the biggest most sparkiest tool to get shit done. The old school way. Well sorry there's faster ways. Might not look as cool but there is
I just stumbled into this channel and it was very interesting. I followed all your calculations up to where .05 was 1/ 16th of an inch. I know this video is two years old but if somebody runs across this and can explain it to me I would be very grateful, thank you
1/16 of an inch is also measured as 0.063 (63 thousandths of an inch). He realized that .05 was basically a 16th and that was close enough for the math he was doing.
Faction measurements can be converted to decimal take top number divided by the bottom will give the decimal . 1/16 is .0625 I worked I CNC machine shop and used a similar formula to machine .
I learned the center square method in a fab shop I worked at. As a matter of fact, I learned how to do all kind of shit with the center square. Good stuff!!
Wow I really enjoyed this. Learnt heaps. Great teacher right here and very humble at that. This video will definitely be copy and pasted into my welding tips diary 📔.. thanks mate. Legend 👍
I did my apprenticeship training at sait in Alberta. Another good way to find your center mark for your fitting from top dead center is using this formula. Degrees divided by 360 - take that number and times it by the radius, times two, times pie. That’ll give you the full arc length. Looks something like X*/360* x 2 x r x 3.1416 Both work just as well, just something different!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 almost done with welding school certification. I needed to know all this golden information you just provided. Ferguson fire and fabrication just hired me and gave some materials to practice welding o lets to a pipe.
As an old welder fitter you done good. Easier to cut the inside line and grow the hole, you will not get any more flow with an oversized hole and may create a vortex with flow and bypass. Good tips for the newb tho.
Distance per unit of degree is the most precise method for laying out weld olets on pipe. Weld tube always putting out quality info. Props. All that to say as a pipe welder we should always have a center finder on hand.
@@weldtube right now I'm rig welding, working for a company putting fittings and flanges on conical roofed 1000 barrel tanks. The layout and degree aspects are crazy. It's all 6010, 8010 1104, beads get severe cycle B31.3. Sometimes there's Tig and LoHy welding on specific fittings, but mostly 1104 welding. It's what I've been doing as a steady gig for bout 2yrs now. I guess I'm a welder/ fitter.
Cool video and educational. I’m a machinist by trade 33 yrs come October. The biggest thing is see with the younger generation coming into our field or Maintance in general is they can’t read a tape measure, a rule or a scale. They won’t ask for help or when they do they loose interest or don’t pay attention. Just my little rant. I’ll be using the tricks with the center head and framing square. Even an early 50’s old guy learned something today. 👊👊👊
you really got me excited to start soon, im 24 y/o and im currently finishing up some HS classes to meet some requirements to get into the field of welding and i really cannot wait to start welding classes etc :D
I always take a welding rod, at about 2" use channel locks to bend a hook. Then when i start my hole with the torch, put the rod in. Keeps your coupon from falling in the pipe. And no soapstone at WeldTube?!?!

Been welding for 26 years to date and you never stop learning something new every day, good info my man.
agreed man
This is pretty basic though let’s be honest lol
@@jeepwk6.5L alright super combo welder 👍🏻
@@game_ender1 not hard when u go through a 5 year apprenticeship. This was 1st year stuff for us. These “welder only” guys are about worthless lol
been welding since 1994 kids keep welding with new trick on tig and mig ugh learning every day the cup on the dry rig has changed over the years glass lens only . i can lay a weld down but i bet a new guy can make me look bad . change is good i got your number younging thank you
Great video and sound quality. Not to mention a presenter who speaks well and doesn't say um or call everything this guy. Keep up the good work.
Glad to see someone useing the down and dirty ways that still work to do this
Also that square edge is more important then most would every understand
Welder that is a math teacher and better than the ones I had in school
This guy knows nothing
Boys and girls, this guy is a real hand.
@Doss Man I guess maybe I’m too naive to get what your are getting at big man
I am a pipefitter/ Welder you learn something new everyday
I've been a fitter/welder for quite some time and I'm glad to see all these welding channels sharing info. Nice vid.
Tradesmen love to pass it on. Thanks for sharing your experience from years of getting in there and getn dirty.
that trick with the framing square to find tdc is amazing. cant wait to try that

Love your stuff bro! I've been a boily in Aussie for 30 years and still learn some great stuff! 👌
Definitely the best welding channel on RUclips.
Slide a file over the center punch marks to shine them up a bit and make it a little easier to see while cutting
great stuff!! thats one the best ways to find the center , but an ol timer taught me that you gotta divide your O.D by half after leveling your pipe and using your big square (depending on pipe) and level mark it and there you have a true center 👍🏻

Wow wow awesome Video 👍🇺🇸
This is a whole different beast.

Best welder/welding instructor in the DFW!
I have never seen that center punch mark trick to keep from losing the marks! That is definitely going on the mental to box. Great info, great video. Thanks 👍
Why not use a paint marker?
Im actually a plumber by trade and some of these ideas can be used in my trade. Started following as its a brilliant channel.
this is so fuckin fire!!!!! glad I watched this
It all helps putting it together. Thank you!
I need one of those center punch deals u got there ....
Excellent video. Very good for people who are trying to improve their pipefitting skills!
This was very well done thank you
2 minutes in I learned something lmao
Same...very interesting

@@jheiny1231 🧐 5 times faster? you dont say! looks to me like wet taps take 5 times longer to drill through 🤣

Thanks! Respect from Russia )) very helpful!
You have no idea how helpful this was. Thanks 🤘🏼
This video covers so many bases about your brains. Another AWESOME 👏 video. Thanks 🙏
a. ross showed the same technique last week. is using receipt paper this common? i’m just getting into this and every bit of info is much appreciated.

Thanks for your video
They should have taught us these practical applications in school and make the subjects interesting. What a waste of school life. Thank you man
Can't describe how blown my mind is right now. Good video.
Very cool, could use a klein inclinometer as well on top of your framing square. Zero at TDC and slide the square around the pipe to whichever degree
That's the way I do it but this stuff is good to know.
Outstanding info thank you!
Great stuff

Great video guys...maybe a manual layout of a branch test. I have seen gas companies that require you to layout your branch without a template. Video?
I’m a fitter I never put an olet on a pipe yet . Soo much to our trade it’s crazy . Thanks for the info bro
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 almost done with welding school certification. I needed to know all this golden information you just provided. Ferguson fire and fabrication just hired me and gave some materials to practice welding o lets to a pipe.
Great video.........thats information that alot of Utube welders don't know nowadays.
Great job and I always enjoy your videos😁
Great video Thanks for sharing

All that to say as a pipe welder we should always have a center finder on hand.
Even easier using metric to do the maths
Gotcha👍. Quick question are you a pipe-fitter or what craft do you work in?
@@weldtube right now I'm rig welding, working for a company putting fittings and flanges on conical roofed 1000 barrel tanks.

It's all 6010, 8010 1104, beads get severe cycle B31.3.

It's what I've been doing as a steady gig for bout 2yrs now.
I guess I'm a welder/ fitter.
I use a 6010 rod on the core side to torch melt into the cutout piece, so it don't drop in the pipe
One of the best tricks there is when your adding on to a existing system that is drained.
Great video and sound quality. Hope so u do welding with good quality also. :D

@@abrahamjasmine oh you know it! 💯
I need you to come get a fit in Kansas.
@@bobmoffatt4133 heck yea Bob! I’m on my way! $1400 a day and $1.50 a mile port to port, but for you I’ll do it for free 😘
Thanx for the video learned something.
Good tips! Thanks a lot!
People helping people this is what it’s about !
Thank y’all. I love the realness coming from y’all. Keep going. Respect 👊🏽
Fantastic, you did a great job!
Amazing Welder. This guy is awesome!
Always learning from the WeldTube Crew.
So Good Welding Nice people god bless you
helpful video thanks weldtube.👍👍👍
Would love to see you guys do the super coupon pipe weld. Schedule 160 stick! Thanks
Awesome video guys ! Lots of info!
great video thank you so much
Of all this is my favorite
Damn , I learned something today
Thanks for this! Just added this to my pipe bible!
Wow Great Information, first time I've seen this 😃😃😃 Thanks
Fantastic video! More like this!
Is there a different name for a Olet that is threaded? And, how do you know how many times two fold the receipt paper to get your layout? 🤔
Threadolet and I folded the paper in half 3 times 👊🏻
Great content!
Lots of great info in this one, thanks guys!
I thought I was the first to come up with that pipe dividing method! Guess Pipe Fitters are just smart! 😆
Good one but one question. What's the purpose of the welding rods taped to the pipe? Allow full bead on the inside?
I use tig wire to space the weldolet off the pipe 3/32”
Navy shipyard fitter here, we use a crows foot with a built in center punch and angle finder. Makes this a 5 minute fit up
Bold of you to assume I have those tools 😂
It is good for measure skills the pipe welding point, easy understanding the calculate. Thanks
Great explanation

Thank you! I have one question, how do you weld that fitting for it not to move up and down or side to side?
Roll the pipe to 12 Oclock Level. Tack it, then Roll it back down to the Degree needed to make the fit.
4 tacks about an inch long, feathered.
you really got me excited to start soon, im 24 y/o and im currently finishing up some HS classes to meet some requirements to get into the field of welding and i really cannot wait to start welding classes etc :D
True welder/fitter👍🏽 don’t really see that anymore
Thanks for the video!
excellent video. One question, can a weldolet be welded without drilling? then perform a hot tap?
Been doing safety at the refinery’s for a while I feel like I need to get into welding. Thanks again great video.
I always take a welding rod, at about 2" use channel locks to bend a hook. Then when i start my hole with the torch, put the rod in. Keeps your coupon from falling in the pipe. And no soapstone at WeldTube?!?!
Wanted to see the finish weld on that round stock fitting
Being a contractor welder
Especially on Kwajalein
And Romania
Love learning!!! Thank you 😎
Definitely subscribing! Love the helpful tips. Definitely going in tomorrow and kicking ass because of this.
I am fitter and I have never seen anyone use a punch good tool going to have to get one
I just realized I've been doing this the hard way for years 😳
Great explanation Matt. Well done Brother 🤘🔥
Thanks for the love jason!!! 👊🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Warriorweldingtx always Brother. Glad to see you pushing that knowledge.
Could you use a hole saw to cut it out? Just so you’re not taking so much time to use the carbide bit? Or will the hole saw take longer overall?
Great video 🎉❤
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾
