Hi Jodie, I have a Miller 350P and I live the results I can get with it. One thing I've noticed is that it is a little fussy when it comes to mill scale. I noticed at 5:54 the vertical plate still had the scale on it and it did the same thing as I've encountered, namely the toe of the puddle tends to be irregular as it's trying to wash up on the side when the scale is there. It doesn't take much as you know. Nice to see you grinding the scale on the pieces. Another tip I've used over the years especially on hot rolled sheet that needs a patina finish is to get the Velcro backed flexible diamond grinding pads. It works beautifully on that extremely tough mill scale found on these sheets. I even bought the Metabo grinder with the water feed coming through the 5/8-11 spindle. Not cheap but man does it do a number on scale!! Love your channel!
Great video. I don't think I will ever use all the info you provided BUT the good grounding for MIG is a keeper. Thanks Jodi. BTW the TIG fingers are GREAT!
You should do a video about how to tack stuff. In 30 years of welding, this is the first time I've seen someone not over-tack and put them in places that make for a good finish. In regards to the pulse settings: I own a Powerwave 455/STT that I've used for 5 years or more and those settings are very similar to what I would use. The trim control varies the arc length, as you discovered. In pulse modes, the Arc Control varies the pulse frequency: higher settings = higher freq. with colder, tighter arc. In Synergic CV & Manual CV MIG modes, Arc Control = inductance, so for instance, solid wire CO2 welding would require the high end of the range, ArCO2 rutile cored wires would require the low end.
Jody your amazing buddy hoping one day I can meet you and weld together before I die that really make my day iv learned a lot from you over the years my friend
I'd sell my left nut for one of those tables. I've got my everlast welder on a hobbled table made of steel scraps at the moment. I'm waiting for a good price on a decently sized flat steel sheet.
@weldingtipsandtricks Hey Joey, Love your videos! Only found them last week but i haven't stopped watching them. I'm not a qualified welder or anything but i love practical videos and things of that nature. From watching only a few of your videos, i reckon i could quite competently do some decent quality welding. Keep them coming!
On these machines, "Arc Control" is what older machines called "slope". On older Miller machines, arc control is a subtle inductance adjustment that doesn't do much, but on the Lincoln, the more negative the number, the more flat the weld and the higher the number the tighter the weld bead. It's very noticeable and helpful on short arc mig but I don't remember it being very drastically helpful with pulse. I'm sure it's got inductance built into that same setting but with a short arc process, it's just like old "slope".
muy bueno el video siempre es bueno saber que hay gente que quiere enseñar lo que sabe para los que quieren aprender.. no se si entiendas mi idioma amigo del video pero te felicito
i use pulse on a daily basis and often weld flare bevel joints like the one u were experimenting with. if u havent tried this yet turn the arc control down to at least -5. it creates a narrower puddle as opposed to the raising the arc control which spreads it out more. before i figured this out i was simply pulling the gun but found this works waaay better. let me know what u come up with
I weld almost all flare groove on a pulse Lincoln 350. I used a Miller Continuum 350 for almost 3 years before that and I can tell you the Miller is better. It doesn't have the setting memory of the Lincoln and to be honest, doesn't look as badass as Lincoln.....but its easier to dial in and has enough power to get any order done
We have those Lincoln MP pulse machines at work. They take a little getting used to. Those things love to chew the corners. Some of the old timers still use them on short circuit. There's one that figured out how to use the spray, now he uses it all the time. He says it's like cheating. Once your use one of those machines with AL, you won't want to use anything else.
About your ground, current flows over the surface of the conductor. Thus there is more surface for it to travel over when you are on top of that copper wire. Braided wire will conduct better than solid.
idk if you already have a video about it or not but can you do a video on the best ways to make sure your projects don't shift from the welds and stay square???
VERY COOL TABLE..... I will be ordering one on Monday....thanks for the lead ....BTW who did you order yours through? And as usual AWESOME job !! Thanks.... Joe
Jody, I recently took a test, 7024 rod and dual shielded flux core. My stick welding got me the job offer (I didn't accept it) but I struggled with the wire fed. I'm about 90% sure it was spray transfer. I struggled in seeing the puddle so my travel speed ended up being slow and I would start getting cold roll on the bottom side of the 2F joint and was melting off the top edge/corner of the upper piece of the lap jount. What trick do you use to help you see the puddle when using spray transfer? I was not able to adjust the machine, just had to run what I was handed.
I know this comment is 4 years old, but oh well, but I get the strangest satisfaction whenever I can give somewhat of an answer, which doesn’t happen all that often lol. Flux-Core according to my very limited understanding, has a transfer mode characterized as a fine globular transfer, which is very similar if not identical to a spray type transfer, as opposed to short circuiting transfer or the globular transfer condition which can occur with solid wire. You will notice this immediately if you switch from flux core to short circuit, because you will feel the wire running into the base metal and melting off many times per second, you’ll feel that, you’ll hear the awful crackling noise especially when you’re used to the nice quiet hum of a flux cores wire or a solid wire in a spray mode, and you can also see the wire just stabbing the puddle over and over, not tying in or penetrating nearly as well, producing a lot more spatter, etc. where flux core and solid wire in spray mode actually just produce a stable arc and the wire forms a needle sharp tip at the arc and fans out properly in order to make a sound penetration profile and the toes and root without leaving any cold lap. As far as keeping your visual, I find that it works really well to focus specifically on the tip of the wire the arc, and the front of the puddle, paying special attention to where you’re putting the wire in relation to the joint. Hope this can maybe elaborate on a few points for someone. -Alex Weeks
Tell about whole setting in mig welding according to different-different thickness of jobs(metals). And which filler wire we use in according to jobs metals...
Top video....as always. Nice welding table, i will put one on my Christmas list! What make is your square? I've been looking for a square to use on large radius material for ages.
Will someone please answer this?? I work in a company where all the old welders use MAG Pulse on heavy constructions, and my question is this: does MAG Pulse on normal steel penetrate better than normal MAG welds, and do you have to use Argon Gas to weld with pulse??
I would think that would work as long as the bolt location had good electrical contact. I have used the copper wire trick with my everlast welder setup ever since I saw this video.
Hii..Such a great video... here I need a suggestion, We are having Lincoln Speedtech 505 machine having PF46 wire feeder. We tried Pulsed Spray transfer mode for Double V bevel 18mm thick gusset weld on flange plate having 18mm fillet size (Multi pass weld & T joint configuration manual weld) with following parameters. Gas mix : Ar 90% + CO2 10% gas flow : 18 - 20 LPM WFS : 430 IPM (Same as Glob mode we are using) Trim : 0.95 - 1.0 Wire : 1.2mm - ER 70S-6 grade CTWD : 18- 20mm Travel Speed : 900 - 1000 mm Per minute and following are the observations : 1) Heat generation / Heat input is very high wrt Glob mode 2) Undercut observed / generation. 3) Weld puddle flows downwards in 2G position. So can you guide me to eliminate above mentioned observations...???
I work in cars and snow plows. I want to weld mufflers chassis frame for broke snow plow which welder would you think is the best for this kind of work I'm thinking to buy your videos too. Tank you for your great videos
I believe he was talking about the wire coming out of the gun and not melting into the weld, not the sound of the crackle being made. And I didnt see porosity which would occur if the shielding gas were insufficient.
I was wondering about the same thing. so i looked it up. it is the Voltage with 1.0 being the optimum setting. so in the video he lowered the voltage. look it up, there is some more info that might interests you (mig welding lingo, trim setting meaning).
Hello Friend, greetings from Argentina, we are many who follow you and use your advice, it would be very useful for all of Latin America if you can do some kind of translation of your videos, hopefully you can do them even if they are subtitled. Thanks for your tips.
Check out the video where he makes a chin up bar and uses socket welds. There's some talk about the problem in that video. Apparently takes a lot of experience to predict how to balance out the draw that happens. Your problem drives me crazy.
I have to respectfully disagree about the ground statement. I saw a welder set his ground clamp on his welding table. Being fresh out of school, I thought he made a mistake and forgot to clamp the copper jaw to his table. He proceeded to lay down some sweet beads and take me back to school. If you are having a problem with that machine, it's probably the gas flow rate, it should be about 50CFH. Insufficient gas will sound like a machine gun.
I THING U R VERY EXPERINCE MEN WITH METAL,ME I WISH SOME TIME 2 SEE WOMEN WELDER 2 HAVE A SHOW LIKE U,JUST 2 SEE HOW WOMEN WELDER IS OR MECANIC BODY WOMEN,THANK AGAIN ,SERVANT OF GOD.YOU R A ARTIST WELDER.
then you're not doing it wright. I manufacture flood control equipment with pulse spray transfer, and I've never had a weld break, and we're on a first name basis with our clients so I would know if there were any problems, and our equipment goes on skid-steers and they abuse the hell out of our products. we even bought back one of our machines that filed 80,000 sandbags, and all it needed was a new coat of paint
I've been welding with Lincoln pulse mig welders for about 4 years now at work 5-6 days a week, 10 hours a day and I've come to the conclusion that they are more trouble then what they are worth for mild and stainless steel. Not only is the machinery way more finicky it's also not nearly as durable as CV machines. I've seen at least 7 wire feeders crap out within a year and probably 4 or 5 power sources kick the bucket in the same time. For such an expensive machine that is just stupid. To keep up with CV deposition rates you must use .045 wire too. I have also yet to have two days in a row that it welds the same too. Utterly not impressed. I'll take my 15 year old CV machine back over this crap.

Thanks for the demo of pulse spray. Amazing how small adjustments can improve the weld quality.

Jody your amazing buddy hoping one day I can meet you and weld together before I die that really make my day iv learned a lot from you over the years my friend
Very nice, something about that controlled flow and puddle just seems so nice to watch.
Jody makes it look so easy. I love watching these videos. I wish he showed some everlast pulse mig videos. Those welders are more along my budget.
I love those stronghand build pro tables. Really well designed
Agreed...set us back a pretty penny, as well.
I'd sell my left nut for one of those tables. I've got my everlast welder on a hobbled table made of steel scraps at the moment. I'm waiting for a good price on a decently sized flat steel sheet.
Way over priced, but very cool
Whoosh, so many variables with a machine like that. Very interesting and useful information, even for a very non-professional welder.

I always drag with spray. That 350MP is awesome. RMD is good for pipe roll out work.
I like precision and cleanness of your work!
6:15 is the only time I've had uncontrollable laughter listening to you, that was hilarious the way you said Fido's butt
Nice video. Just about to get a pulse mig welder. Great info here. Thanks 🙌
Another awesome video! Can't wait till next week
muy bueno el video siempre es bueno saber que hay gente que quiere enseñar lo que sabe para los que quieren aprender.. no se si entiendas mi idioma amigo del video pero te felicito
Man you are one awesome welder and teacher!
You are a teacher. Keep up the good work mate!
another great video. man I wish I could just weld all day. I love it and I want to do it the rest of my life!
yep...southern tool steel...thats the one.
I love their tables-I have one and it is indespensable.
Nice video. I personaly like spray transfer a lot more. With pulse transfer there are a lot of problems with lack of penetration.
i use pulse on a daily basis and often weld flare bevel joints like the one u were experimenting with. if u havent tried this yet turn the arc control down to at least -5. it creates a narrower puddle as opposed to the raising the arc control which spreads it out more. before i figured this out i was simply pulling the gun but found this works waaay better. let me know what u come up with

More videos on pulse mig please jody. I have my eye on an everlast pulse mig welder.

do you have any advise im about to take a test with the Lincoln Pulse Arc machine utilizing .045 stainless wire in the 2g, 3g,4g positions
Jody .. what are the dimensions of your Stronghand table ?? BTW thanks for what you do !
Will someone please answer this?? I work in a company where all the old welders use MAG Pulse on heavy constructions, and my question is this: does MAG Pulse on normal steel penetrate better than normal MAG welds, and do you have to use Argon Gas to weld with pulse??
Mig?
Im curious did you have any warpage where the T joint was welded?
I welded some thing similar we had to counter warp the cross peice
would you ever bolt your ground directly to the work? this question is in regard to the last part of the video when you introduce the copper wire?
I would think that would work as long as the bolt location had good electrical contact. I have used the copper wire trick with my everlast welder setup ever since I saw this video.
Hii..Such a great video...
here I need a suggestion, We are having Lincoln Speedtech 505 machine having PF46 wire feeder. We tried Pulsed Spray transfer mode for Double V bevel 18mm thick gusset weld on flange plate having 18mm fillet size (Multi pass weld & T joint configuration manual weld) with following parameters.
Gas mix : Ar 90% + CO2 10%
gas flow : 18 - 20 LPM
WFS : 430 IPM (Same as Glob mode we are using)
Trim : 0.95 - 1.0
Wire : 1.2mm - ER 70S-6 grade
CTWD : 18- 20mm

and following are the observations :
1) Heat generation / Heat input is very high wrt Glob mode
2) Undercut observed / generation.
3) Weld puddle flows downwards in 2G position.
So can you guide me to eliminate above mentioned observations...???
Nicely done and easy to follow along, thanks.
Sir wich type of mig wire use for structural welding,agri equipment ,??
Are you sure the pulse mode will give you enought penetration on this heavy steel?
O love your Square
Nice a hug from Brazil
Sorry my inglês
I work in cars and snow plows. I want to weld mufflers chassis frame for broke snow plow which welder would you think is the best for this kind of work I'm thinking to buy your videos too.
Tank you for your great videos
Great video, would there be any advantage to using Gas Shielded Flux core?
I believe he was talking about the wire coming out of the gun and not melting into the weld, not the sound of the crackle being made. And I didnt see porosity which would occur if the shielding gas were insufficient.
Could you do a focus on MIG spray? I dont inow if I know what that iis or if I have seen that before.
Maaan ! Jody is the welding man !!!!
I ask for advice. why MIG Welding Nozzle clogged with scale.
was this a boom for a tow truck?
engineered lifting sling? for overhead crane or lifting arm use?
Did you send these out to stress relieving following the welding?
with which tool do you cut the iron in the first minute?
plasma cutter or oxy-fuel cutting torch.
Красивая работа... 👍
Would that company be Southern Tool Steel??
Little late, but shoutout chattanooga! greatest city in southeast tennessee
Good tip on the ground
I have never heard of trim before is that like the same as inductance, or does that have to do with the pulse settings.
I was wondering about the same thing. so i looked it up. it is the Voltage with 1.0 being the optimum setting. so in the video he lowered the voltage. look it up, there is some more info that might interests you (mig welding lingo, trim setting meaning).
Controls how wide your puddle goes more trim makes it wider and less will narrow it
What shop in Chattanooga

Hi what is a trim setting?
got it. it is the percentage of the voltage with 1.0 being the optimum.
so nice,, need one
Thank you! )))
who is Fido
olá bom dia muito os vídeos show
reminds me of metal core wire we use metalshield mc6
I use 706 Lincoln metalcore
Try more of a hard whip back and forth with gmawp
why not use c 25 gas ?
90 argon is the least 100 is the best

what is "trim" setting?
arc gap essentially

Both the pulse and your old machine have Constant Voltage slope characteristics - your problems are not related to this.
What does slope have to do with all the problems indeacribed?
Lincoln pulse welder a suck. Only buy a Miller for pulse.
how about Thermal Arc
It took you 4 years, about 22 days a month, totalling about 1000 work days or 10,000 hours of welding to come to this conclusion?
It's MAG not MIG
MIG for aluminium ans stainless Steel
Виталий, посмотрите вот форум сайта chipmaker.ru там Вы найдете ответы на многие Ваши вопросы.

Miller is soooo much easier to use pulse and RMD, Lincoln thinks us welders are SMRT....Lol
Miller pulse 350 is super easy to use. Lincoln 350 is a good machine but is super fucking buggy
ok
11th view yay!!
your not supposed to weave pulse
The ground is in the mig,that's a return.
No good
Dammit!! Didn't get to hear the welds again, because your always talking.....can we hear the welds once man
Amateurs use a comb square to check for square
says who? if it gets the job done. don't hate
