Yes for gasles weld and fluks core weld am i corect that the handle negative and the ground positive is that corect ,because mine is spiting every were ???thanks
Let me start off by saying that there is a lot of great advice in this video, and I, like many in the comments here, really appreciate the lack of fluff and/or garbage filler to pad the runtime. That said, I've been welding for over a decade now, and I take issue with a couple of things that you said here. First, never use a cut-off wheel to clean up metal. They aren't designed to handle any axial thrust loading, and if you choose to use them instead of the proper grinding wheel, wire wheel, or abrasive flap disc, it will only be a matter of when, not if, you will have one shatter, hurling shards in every direction along the axis of rotation....which brings me to my second concern; PPE, or personal protective equipment. Gloves aren't just for people with soft hands. Anyone welding without gloves and long sleeves is asking to get skin cancer, as welding arcs produce intense light in the UV spectrum, along with visible and infrared. That kind of UV light can and will burn you like a nasty sunburn, both from direct exposure, and indirect exposure such as the reflection from surrounding surfaces, both metallic and otherwise. Trust and believe that you want to wear all the recommended PPE. Safety glasses, ear protection, gloves are the bare minimum for using a grinder, and gloves, a welding jacket, and a self darkening hood is the bare minimum for welding. Beyond that, great video.
Great video and information, one thing I would suggest for any rookies out there is do not ever clean metal with a cutoff wheel like is depicted in this video. The thin disks can flex and explode because of their high rpm. If you need to really take off some material, use a flap disc instead. You can be seriously injured when a cutoff wheel fails, trust me, it’s terrifying.
Excellent video, concise, no music, no BS, just clear, jargon free, relevant advice delivered confidently and in an accessible and friendly manner. Wish more RUclips videos were like yours sir. Well played.
Thanks for your to the point videos. I welded years ago and now got me the titanium 125. I was 20 when i welded before and now I’m 74. What a big help having your info for refresher and confidence to start back. Appreciate ya, and look forward to watching more. Thanks again Joe C.
I tried my first welds today...it was a total disaster🤣 First, the puddles that look so big and easy to define on the videos, I can barely see at all. I can't get my wire speed and power matched up even though I was following the charts...it was a fiasco. I did learn that dipping your nozzle in tip jelly really helps keep it clean. I also learned the wire is not hot until you pull the trigger 😲 I learned the metal stays hot a long time after you stop (ouch) and I realized it ain't as easy as the pros make it look. Lots of practice needed. The best achievement of the day...the house didn't catch fire😆
Great Video. Dude, you help more novice welders than I can imagine. Keep up the great work. No nonsense and straight to the point. Good quality on the vid as well.
This has to be one of the best welding videos I’ve seen on all of RUclips. Straight to the point & easy to understand should get anybody up and welding in no time!
Im a complete novice and Ive watched 10 or more videos on "how to do it" without having yet tried. This video is the only one to explain everything, understandably. Thank you :)
I bought the Titanium Flux-125 a little over a year ago and can confirm it is a great entry level flux core welder. I changed out the grounding clamp, one that Harbor Freight sells (small upgrade). Totally agree that practice with some research will build confidence in hobby welding projects.
Ya I got a real similar unit from home depot that was a return pr something I got for $100 century I think is the brand it's made by the red welder company I forget which one that it but it's been great
As a field mechanic, I use flux core exclusively, a 110v machine. I weld up to 3/8 plate sometimes thicker with preheating. I also don't use a ground clamp, I braze and clamp a piece of round bar to the ground wire and weld me ground to the work. It's a big time saver and I never question my ground.
I have the HD cheapie flux core welder and this is just the info I have been looking for. Best of any channel I have looked at so far. Thank you for posting it.
Cheers mate that was straight up helpful bruz. I have just purchased a 4 in 1 / 250 AMP Rossi and the first thing I did was go to Bunnings and grab some .8 mm flux core yeah ! So now I know what I need to do.........Salute to you Sir
Great vid! Just happened upon it. I’m novice, I’m doing something wrong as it relates to flux core wire getting stuck at tip and jamming wire back to machine. Thus wasting a lot of wire and rethreading new wire, very frustrating! Help! Thank you again!
I bought cheep welder no set up instructions. I figured I go harbor freight snap shot Thiers. And buy some sticks gloves. I took 80 hours of tig mig flux core. I never knew about jelly for tip I go look for that so learned something off you 😜. It's been few years but I miss the class. I bought to fix my be body panels on Old cars ore floor pans. First thing I bought after first class was auto darkening helmet. Thanks for advice tender hands 😜
Best thing I like about my Titanium 125, is I get to use my house current with zero stress about wrecking the circuits. The welder uses a converter, rather than a transformer. While technically you can't continuously weld as long, I've not yet found the time/heat limit of the machine. I'm no "expert", but so far, none of my welds have failed!
I bought a Forney 140 FC-i and I really like it. It's very similar to the Titanium 125, and not much more expensive. I also bought an Amico CUT-30 plasma cutter, which works with either 120VAC or 220VAC. I use an old gasoline generator that provides both 120 and 220 volts. This combination is really working well. The only problem was finding the correct NEMA adapter for the 220V. Neither my house nor my airplane hangar can provide enough AC amps, but the 5KW generator is working just fine. Thanks for this video, I'm still learning but getting better. Also ... I think I may need more than just two grinders. :)
Didn’t see any comments mentioning the wire stick out. Those welding pliers have a cutoff that’s made to cut the wire off at the correct stick out length
Nice welds!! All the tips here are awesome I’ve been welding for a year now and not to many people think about how their gear and proper set up makes their welding that much better!!
I see you're welding on top of a particle wood covered bench. Ever have a problem as far as it being a possible fire hazard? I'm just finishing my 1st and only semester at an accredited welding school and have done half doing stick and the rest of this semester using FCAW-G. I love the results and ease of FCAW. With shielding gas it's fairly simple except for out of position because I'm a disabled vet and my dominant arm is pretty messed up. But I'm still passing all the different positions and weld types. I appreciate you talking to us beginner's and not talking down to us. So thanks.
Not will small little samples or with tubing (since you only weld the top part of the tubing the weld is not touching the wood). If it is a flat bar then sometimes it will scorch the surface but never had a fire on it. For large projects I'll usually just do it on the garage floor. Some day I'll work up to a real welding table. Sincerely, thank you for your service!
If you have something like an easy flux 125 pick up a new ground clamp. The with flux core your ground will get real hot real quick and can burn up the cable if your doing a lot of welding. I do a lot of big work but use a 125 cause it's super small and portable so I upgraded to a solid thick 600 a ground clamp. Way overkill but if your welding bulldozer tracks all day you'll need it. You can also get an upgraded better gun and cable from eBay for cheap not really necessary but nice to know. I would definitely pick up a leather cable guard from Amazon cause you will at some point drop or knock over your part and as soon as it hits that cable itl burn right through cause the rubber is very thin on the 125.your wire size and brand makes a big difference I always run 35 cause it flows better with me and different brand have different quality. Amazon has a fantastic quality wire call INE made in Italy for the same price as harbor freight Vulcan wire. Always remember some metals will always get porosity it's not always your fault. For instance some gun barrels are low carbon and from what I remember the more carbon in the metal the better the weld and the less the worse. No real way to test that though. Don't get your tip or your spool near a magnet either cause it will ruin your entire roll, as soon as a roll gets magnetized it's done and will get porosity on everything as it sucks pieces of debris onto it during the weld. If the metal is too thin for you to properly weld then lay a pass with the lowest settings cause even if it's crappy looking you can hit it again with a regular pass and have a nice weld cause the weld metal can take more heat than the regular metal on something real thin parts.
Nice Welds! Love the video man. Super helpful for any beginner and even some intermediate welders. Video answered all my questions and some I didn't even know I was going to ask haha Thanks brother.
Great Video !! I've been wanting to learn how to weld for a long time. You explained so much just in this short video, I am now a subscriber ! Thanks !!! Nice Welds BTW !
Nice welds! 👍 & sub'd Retired early, last year. Always wanted to learn welding as a hobby. Great for household repairs or diy projects. Awesome video to give me some ideas. Thanks
Nice welds! Just picked up my first welder yesterday. Titan flux core welder from harbor freight. Started doing some knife making so i needed something that can weld some handles on my billets. Your video provided me a ton of useful information. You earned a subscription from me today! Look forward to improving my welding skills!
Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. I'd advise getting a flux-core welder with actual adjustment knobs, rather than the high-low toggle switches my Mastercraft came with. It does the job, but there's been times I could have really used the extra range of settings.
Get yourself some spray cooking oil. It helps with cleanup of weld splatter. Your welds look really nice. Protect your lungs from the smoke. Use a fan to direct smoke away from you and look into a filter mask with 3M P100 filters. Should fit under hood. Caution with zinc plated metal. Have fun! Oh, before I forget. Trying to learn on thin sheet metal will frustrated you. Start with the 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Take your time, watch the puddle not the arc, and keep your stick out short.
I also use a fan and that's a benefit of Flux Core ... no gas to get blown away. And yes, I have already learned to keep the Stick Out very short. My wife wants some Lawn Art, and this typically is made of really thin metal. She also knows that it is good, repetitive practice for me. I have to turn my Forney 140 all the way down, but it works fine. I'm going to start trying Tube Notching soon ...
Nice welds. I also picked up the hf titanium 125 does what i need it to do. I've gotten a bunch of meals by just going over to a friends and "tacking" some stuff together. Outdoor furniture is the worst
Question on stick out…do you want to wire flush with the tip when starting the weld, or the wire needs to stick out 3/8 to 1/2” from the tip, and then you need to be 1/2 from the weld metal? Or flush with the tip and 3/8 to 1/2” from the weld metal? Thanks!
Great video!! I’m looking at buying a 115v welder. I’m curious to know your thoughts. Would you prefer a flux core or a stick welder?? Your comments are appreciated. I’m sure both have pros and cons. Trying to get more info.

Good job getting to the point. No fluff or crazy background music. Videos like this you learn better than in class.
I appreciate that!
So true
The 5 min long into videos kill me
Class would show you some grisly pictures of why you should never grind with a cutting wheel.
Couldn't agree more. Great job

Right on, thanks. I do agree with you. Should not have shown me grinding with a cut off disc.
Im just starting learning this and never thought about the uv rays, thanks
Great video and information, one thing I would suggest for any rookies out there is do not ever clean metal with a cutoff wheel like is depicted in this video. The thin disks can flex and explode because of their high rpm. If you need to really take off some material, use a flap disc instead. You can be seriously injured when a cutoff wheel fails, trust me, it’s terrifying.
I agree. Should have shown a flapper disc.
I've had that happen to me lucky I was wearing safety glasses
One stuck in my boot last year in my welding class. Spooked me a bit
im using same disc for cutting and cleaning after welding.. didnt even know there was different kind of disc, ill buy it now thanks for tip 🙏
@@olivernguyen3112 small price to pay for piece of mind. Much easier to use as well 🤙

Why is the roller groove for flux core knurled? Does it do any harm if you use the knurled roller for solid core too?

I also use a fan and that's a benefit of Flux Core ... no gas to get blown away. And yes, I have already learned to keep the Stick Out very short. My wife wants some Lawn Art, and this typically is made of really thin metal. She also knows that it is good, repetitive practice for me. I have to turn my Forney 140 all the way down, but it works fine.
I'm going to start trying Tube Notching soon ...

Nice welds. I also picked up the hf titanium 125 does what i need it to do. I've gotten a bunch of meals by just going over to a friends and "tacking" some stuff together. Outdoor furniture is the worst

Nice Welds!! Just came accost you channel thanks for all the help and information!!
Thanks, you are in the running.
Question on stick out…do you want to wire flush with the tip when starting the weld, or the wire needs to stick out 3/8 to 1/2” from the tip, and then you need to be 1/2 from the weld metal? Or flush with the tip and 3/8 to 1/2” from the weld metal? Thanks!
Nice Welds! I wonder if my cheap Canadian Tire welder is the right polarity?
Thanks! You are in the running! Is it a machine where you can change the polarity?
Great video!! I’m looking at buying a 115v welder. I’m curious to know your thoughts. Would you prefer a flux core or a stick welder?? Your comments are appreciated. I’m sure both have pros and cons. Trying to get more info.
Both are great. If you are just starting out I'd go with flux. It's a bit easier to learn.
