- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Embarking on the journey of flux core welding can be daunting, especially when visibility becomes a challenge. Just like many beginners, I faced disasters until I discovered a game-changing tip. Say goodbye to frustration by removing the gas nozzle! With flux core welding, shielding gas containment is unnecessary as the flux runs through the wire's center. By ditching the nozzle, you gain clear visibility of the wire stick out, transforming your welding experience. Dive into the world of flawless welds with this simple yet powerful technique!"

anyone looking to weld thin metal , the trick is more stick out , which cuts back the intense heat to avoid blowing through … something u can’t do with gas
Thanks for sharing that tip! It's always great to learn new techniques for welding thin metal.
@lawncuttingplusdelta Who told you that crap?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pete you can buy special replacement nozzles just for this situation, makes the tip look more like a tig tip.
wow didn't know that cheers mate
Hey here in Texas I had that exact problem. I found a new cover for the tip that is just for flux core welding. It covers all but the last quarter inch or so of the tip keeping trash out of the threads and gas ports. While giving full view of wire and weld seam.
That's awesome! It's always great to find a solution to a problem. Thanks for sharing your tip!
Pete get some tip dip gel to protect the tip from splatters and saves on consumables mate.
cool thanks
Gass less flux core wire you can remove the nozzle. There is two kinds of flux inner shield and outer shield. Outer shield requires shielding gas or like hard wire it will burn in atmospheric gas giving porosity.
Thanks for sharing that information! It's always great to learn more about different types of flux core wire and how they work.
Mad respect for what you're doing Pete. Caught the welding bug recently and found your channel and man, I can't tell you enough how bracing you and your videos truly are. The sheer volume and breadth of your content is immpressive enough Pete, but it's the unprocessed, uncooked, utilitarian delivery; devoid of any hint of pretense that's really just tonic for me dude.
Having just scratched the surface here I've yet to truly appreciate the signifigance of all your labors Pete, but I'll go ahead and thank you now for making that journey even a possibility. Definitely on the top list of, "coolest uncles ever in the history of uncles ".
Some people would also say unhinged .LOL .Thanks for watching my friend.
Fair advice for flux-core.
Thanks' for watching
Love you Pete

Maybe you could do some tests on helmets, mine doesn't seem to go dark enough, compared to the old helmets even on 13,thanks for the tip,antisplatter, on the tip helps with splatter on the tip,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks for your comment! Testing different helmets sounds like a great idea. I'll definitely consider doing that in a future video.
Looking forward to Pete’s angle on flux … I’m new and find it’s good on sheet metal

G’day Pete. Great bit of info, mate. Thanks for sharing that.
Glad you enjoyed it
I hope to try some flux core soon,it looks really difficult to lay a nice looking weld with it.

Hey Pete! If you ever had any merch, a shirt with a cartoon sketch of you welding something, making a nice big arc/word bubble saying, "G'day guys! Let's stick shit together!
It would be a BIG hit in my opinion. I drop in now and again and always enjoy when I do. I could definitely have a beer with ya!😁👌👍👊💪🤙
Haha, I love the idea of a shirt with that sketch and slogan! It's definitely a unique concept. Who wouldn't want to stick shit together, right? Thanks for the laugh and the support!
@@petestools So glad you liked the idea!
SST Mate!😁👍🤙
