Why use Stick Welding when you have a mig machine? Well, because sometimes you run out of wire or gas on a weekend and need to get a job done. In this video, we are using a Lincoln Powermig 350mp for stick welding with 7018 rods. We are using Lincoln Excalibur 7018 rods and then switch gears and get out some 7014 5/32" rods and use a Lincoln tombstone AC welder.

the dig function is also called "arc control" sometimes. With Stick welding, when you tighten up the arc gap, voltage drops. The Dig function, when set high, bumps up the amps when the machine senses a drop in voltage to prevent sticking the rod.
I am happy don't talk bad about AC stick. I have 2 welders, A wire feeder MIG) and an ancient AC box. I use the AC a lot just because it is there on my portable table. I turn it on, use it and turn it off. No maintenance, no breakdowns, no hassle. I just subbed.
I am still learning all the sweet spot settings and have not even used the TIG function yet but so far the powermig 350mp is a Sweet Beast. Especially on aluminum with the push pull system. next up is more stick with 6010 and also a bit of stainless mig, and maybe the tig function
I'm so grateful for this channel I got about 6 years in this lol been welding 4or 5 years but always had a big passion for welding and used to watch these before I even welded my self lol
Great video as usual. I'm glad to see the old standby being used. That's what most of us "home garage" guys have and use. Nice to see it still has a place in a professional shop.
I've recenty got mine documents as a wielder ready, and i must say this:
Thank you very much for such great tutorial, tips and all good stuff man.
I love stick welding but I've been doing more and more mig welding with my everlast welder. I find mig welding is so much more productive for me.
Wire in the privates.... Priceless!
Gorgeous 7018 weld.
A buzz box usually refers to an AC (alternating current only) arc welding machine. Since they often make a buzzing sound they got the nickname buzzbox.
Good video as always Jody, great lessons for the technology centre course I'm on!!
Very good safety advice. Same goes when using a burr as those things throw little sharp pieces of fun everywhere.
I just picked up 5 tig fingers from you, my fab department loves them. Thanks!
Thanks very much for the response :) just another thing I've learned from this channel. Have a good day man.
I have a buzz box works just fine and since I live in the north, there's a lot of wind coming from the south blowing a lot usually I'll just use my buzz box all the time for garage applications or outside applications and I'll never get arc below because of the AC and everything works good
I love my 1983 Century AC/DC 'Buzz Box', it is 37 years old and has NEVER required ANY maintenance other than a shiny new coat of Rustoleum to brighten up the age dulled factory paint and to open up the case every 5 years or so to blow out dust...
It has only received a re-paint once, last year at age 36...
Jody's videos are the best out there so much more explained than the likes of miller and lincon etc.
as Jody has once said in one of his videos the best way to learn is to get on with it torch in hand.
you soon learn what hot is when you touch it and don't do it again. lol
jody I dont know why but.. I love stick welding !!!
thank you for the good clips
like always have good tips and fun
Thank you for your YT channel. I'd like to add stick welding to my list of skills, mostly for around the house and hobby projects. Do you have a recommendation on where/how to start?
Hey Jody, love your videos so much and I learn a lot from them. Just wanted to ask what the difference is between a stick welder and a buzz box, I always hear you talk about the buzz box but don't really know what it is. In this video you were using it as a stick welder or something? Anyways, thanks for all the great videos, they are seriously the best on youtube.
Great vid easy to watch
Like you say we don't stick weld any more
I will burn some rods tomorrow for a change
I am using my Grandfathers (as you term it, Buzz Box) old SMAW/ Stick welder at the moment because I ran out of Gas for my Kemppi Mig. I still recon that I can not stick weld for shit as I learned on Mig and Tig. My customers seem to be happy at the time and I was surprised, perhaps after 30 years of welding I have learned something about how it should sound and to respond. PS Have How To Weld the book by Todd Bridigium I think, took some lessons from there. Along side Machinist Handbook. John.
Stick welding may be the only option to join pieces outdoors, like in construction and repairs. The use of DC positive and modulation of the arc current with a duty cycle less than 50% makes job a lot easier with profiles and tubes less than 1 mm in thickness. It also allows to use rods of diameter considerably larger than the thickness of the work-pieces. MIG welding is a great technique. However, not everbody can afford to buy gas bottles, MIG wires, and all the machinery for the MIG welding.
Man how nice to see you AGAIN!!!Soon 하하하
Man, good vids here. How are you filming the puddle? Just a lens over the camera?
can u start showing some of ur blueprints u get for the projects . it well help a lot
The best welding videos on youtube! Thank you for deciding to start making these shows. Respect!
Hi, I'm enjoying your videos and I need your advice in selecting a machine. I'm attending Tulsa and I'd like to get a machine I can grow with. I'd like to be able to run all applications, as I am really looking to do pipe as well. Any suggestions? I'm using a Flextec 350x standard in class now.
So did you just attach the welding leads with crimp on lugs or did you hang a couple pigtails with DINSE fittings or something like that? Did it get in the way of the MIG hardware? Thanks. S/F....Ken M
always outstanding
When rigging up stick on a 350 mp can i just setup a jumper cable with a hammer lug on one end. Quick connect on the other for my stinger and run it off the positive post? Thanks in advance
Would you recommend the Lincoln 350mp for arc gouging or will it damage the unit
Noticed your rod angle is super shallow why do you do this? Would a 45deg angle be optomistic?
PS Todds book is great for learning what the number system on Electrodes mean for the uninitiated like me. I gain nothing from saying it is a great book, for those interested and want to learn as well as this medium. Cheers from John.
Do you have any videos on tig welding open box welds with a 1/16 inch gap and 12 gauge mild steel plate? The area I'm working is tight and my mig is M.I.A.
I hate co2 for wire welding. Leaves too much spatter. Good for backup I guess. I run 92/8 with .035 at 30 volts and 6 wire speed ( Miller) so I'm spraying with hardly any spatter. Love that setting. I recently burnt up my 38 year old Miller DC welder for stick and tig. The boss wouldn't buy me a nice tig machine so he gave me an extra Lincoln 350. Hooked it up, read the manual and started tigging but the touch and lift method is aggravating. Maybe I'm not use to it yet or the fine tuning eludes me. I wish it came with a trusty ole scratch arc setting.
Can you get away with a root pass using AC voltage ?
Nice welding!
Jody, how do you feel the PowerMig 350 welder, is it bad or good, or average? I am putting my attention closer and closer to Lincoln Electric products, would be great to know the "expert's opinion" on this. Thanks
For those welding positions a rutile coated electrode would have given better looking results. Also, i noticed, you said you used the (+) on the electrode. Might have tried (-), just to compare. ( I do have a certification for electrode welding in all positions, before you ask.)
Also, I disagree on previous comments saying that these welds look nice. Too little power, or wrong polarity make them convex (bulging outwards) and have a risk to crack easily, where the weld and workpiece meet.
How did you hook up the stinger
Where did you get the air scribe
what ?!?!!? no gas or gasless flux core? great video as always
thats more common than what you think. I had that wiht the aerospace welding I did. I knew a guy who swallowed one of those wires and it got stuck in the back of his throat it. The wire was sittin on the lid of his coffee mug he didnt see it and took a drink
Love the videos
What is "DIG function" ?
thanks
I was trying to give this guy a recommendation, and you got to bring up herb? Who's the genius here?
Look around for vocational schools in your area. You'll likely find a cheap night course available.
I love my tombstone buzzbox but the duty cycle for 150 amp is not that great!!!. If I had a mp350 and my jab was all set like your I would have hesitation on my option.
As usual great vid.
I have a lincoln 350mp for more than 7 years and to date I have not been able to find someone to help me set the correct parameters to weld aluminum. It is for me the worst investment I have ever made in my life. I would be very grateful if you could help me make the adjustments. to the machine to see if I can finally use it I bought it for fun no one puts a video where I really explain how to adjust it in detail I would appreciate any help
Thankyou
how does strength of 7014 compare to 7018
+AKweldshop uh im sorry buddy but the 7014 is a medium pennetrating rod while the 7018 is a medium (to high,ish) pennetrating rod to, its not a huge differance like you told but, 7014 is a great pennetrating rod for Alternating Current tough.
Thank
All we run is stick rod at the refinery I work at... Well and tig for alloys. Unless a fitter has worked at a fab shop they don't know how to use a squirt gun.
I learned how to weld with an everlast welder and stick electrodes. I admit that mig is easier and has much less cleanup but I still love stick welding.
Darn , Jody,
thought you were going to stick with cv power. Dying to know characteristics. If you are going to finish a weld with a wire wheel ,would just using a wire wheel save time(money) ? Why does mig(cv dc) work on aluminum but tig require cc/ac for aluminum ? Inquiring minds with bad backs want to know.
Grateful always,ed
Typically aluminum MIG is done on thicker pieces in spray transfer.
enemyguitars yup usally 3/8th or thicker
I hate the smell of a 7014, that is one smelly rod. Love the smell of 6010 though
I love the smell of electrodes hot off my everlast in the morning.
College would be my recommendation =)
What?
Чётко
si så där
Private parts?! Ouch!!!
That would be the guy with the water pipe. You don't carry much credibility with a YT channel like that. Party on.
Smoke another bowl genius :/
I do like this gay.
What no shameless advertisement for a tig finger? Jody ur letting us down lol…
