- See the full page here goo.gl/XtefTy or visit the store goo.gl/mJkDww Mig Welding uphill laps joints using 1/4" (6mm) thick cold rolled steel.
2 popular techniques shown and tested along with 2 different settings. 19 volts and 280 ipm for the first welds and then one lap joint using 20 volts and 290 ipm that was too convex. - Хобби
This video is old but gold. Seeing the change going from 19/280 up to 20/290 and how it worsened the convexity really helped me in finding settings that worked well for a recent job I did. Watched at least a dozen different how to mig uphill videos and this one helped me the most.
Hi, I'm a young welder at a truck shop. I'm only 30 seconds into the video and all ready I like you. You have listed all my problems I have welding vertically and I know your gunna answer them. Most ppl on RUclips leave me still questioning things. So thank you for your style of videos.
Awesome video. I've seen all the uphill MIG videos that Jody put out and this one is probably the best. Summarizes everything quite well about the heat/travel balance that is required.
I have been watching your videos for quiet some time now and personally enjoy the information and knowledge you teach. I cannot recall though if you have ever done any videos on mig welding on thinner sheet metal. I do a lot of auto body repair with my mig welder and would love to see some videos on something along those lines.
I haven't done any uphill welding in a very long time and this is such a great refresher, thank you
Going to welding school now and getting my certifications, your videos help out so much man, thanks
Thanks so much for putting metric conversions in your videos for us down under. Great videos!
Your videos are great. Passed my first 3g mig plate test thanks to you. Appreciate your work.
Always timely. Just finished a large job with lots of uphill. I'm happy to see that I was correct in my thinking.
Cheers, Jody
Hey Jody, I really enjoy your videos you pass on lots of helpful tips, I'm a beginner trying to teach myself to weld, I'm fairly ok with stick, wanting to learn mig and it's a little challenging for a lefthanded fella. By the way I also started ordering from you online store, I really appreciate you.
Your clarity of welds look as if I were doing the welding great job and thank you for such good videos ,jim
Great tips Jody! I'm going to practice those techniques.
OMG THANK YOU! Teacher was showing me how to do it but not explaining how and i was like moving it side to side every 2 seconds not in a V formation. This seems so much easier!!!
Thank you for including the meter system!
The 210 MP is a great welder. Its the one I am learning on and It is so much fun! Great choice!
I finally passed my 1 inch overhead FCAW cert. test !!! 4 more to go and $400 left to pay to get certified lol (:
+ixCONTA GiOUZxi congrats and good luck
so your gun should be 90 dgress yes?
If you see this reply. By now you've probably got your certificate & a welding job. I just started welding this January. Any words of wisdom you can offer?
Stay at it been welding 30 it a good skill in u can make money
@weldingtipsandtricks Thank you for the comprehensive video as always. Those must be hard shots to make, it amazes me how clear your images are of the puddle. Also, thanks for discussing gun angle, for some reason most people don't or it is assumed.
Love your videos. I'm welding Aluminium. Trying your techniques out.
Only difference seems to be, I need to move a lot faster the with steel.
Anytime you can do Aluminium techniques, I'd be grateful. I have watch all the ones you have done so far.
Keep up the great work.
Good vid, I have a welding test today including an uphill weld, feel a little more confident now
I have my GMAW fin for school tomorrow, and I am studying techniques tonight, so thank you
Yo big dawg thank you sm for the inclusion of metric units as well… u a real one for that, great video ❤
this welder doesn't miss a thing - good work
Pretty sure this will be my next welding test in my class now I'm for sure going to pass thanks jordy 👍
Great video, explained very clear for a novice (at best) welder.
I still watch this refresher these days just to make sure my technique is good.
Thank you for taking the time to include metric units in this video, makes it much easier for a beginner like me especially if your outside USA
These videos are legendary 👨🏾🏭
thanks man.
gonna weld some structural stuff on a trailer tomorrow and the welds must look and be good.
Another great video. Have you ever thought about doing a video on welding thin steel, like from somewhere in the range of an automotive panel thickness with a mig, up to say a bit of 2mm angle with a small, budget stick welder? It's just that I can imagine a lot of people that watch video's on welding tips are weekend warriors, and try a lot of these techniques but end up with a series of holes joined by lumps of slag. Just a thought anyway, as nearly every welding video on youtube are done with decent welders on thick steel and it just makes it all look so easy. Anyway, keep up the good work. Cheers.
Hello Jody, I'm a new(ish) welder with no formal training (grew up in the country and we fixed everything with an old lincoln stick welder and did some brazing with a torch). I've recently picked up a Hobart Mig Handler 140 (their 115V unit) and some .030 wire. I've got the 25% Argon/CO2 mix (or maybe the other way around) gas on it so DCEN setup. I'm having trouble welding a lap joint upside down. Modifying a truck frame. Mild steel, 1/4" plate to the ~1/8" (10 ga.) frame. My unit seems to start it's arc over and over and I'm getting broken bead which is seriously ugly and probably not very structurally strong. Setting I came to was 5 on heat (max setting) and 4.5 on feed speed. Love your videos and they have been very helpful to me on this project.
MIG solid wire should be DCEP....makes a lot of difference. Non gas Flux-core DCEN......flux-core with gas, usually DCEP.. 75/25......usually 75 Argon, 25 CO2.
Try more wire speed & shorten stickout while welding
Learned a lot as usual! Thanks, JD
thank you,
It was like an educational class. Full of information. Thank you so much.
Thanks for these MIG vids!
Awesome explanation. Thank you. I’ve been having so much trouble with this weld.
Like your videos... i was specifically looking to see how you rested/set your arms to get a consistent weld. Thanks
Another excellent video, thanks Jody
thanks a lot for your tips Jody! Ive learned alot from you sr
love your videos!
Great video Jody. Thanks for the tips. What do you use for etching. I've cut a lot of my welds and on some I can see the nugget and others it's almost impossible to see it.
Amazing work jody thank u very much for the tips 👍
I've already subscribed quite yelling at me. haha Love your videos Jody keep up the great work!
Thanks man. Been struggling with Uphill, this is 👍 👌 👍 👌
Exactly what I'm screwing up, but I'm doing a t joint doing multipasses. I've been on it awhile!
When doing any MIG vertical stringers for a root pass between two plates 3/16" thick should the gun angle be at 90 degrees? Love all your videos.
i bought the powermig 210 because of you, i love it
+Chuck Salerno I like my 210Mp.Had mine since it first came out.Check out my you tube channel.I did some reviews on the 210 MP.
+Chuck Salerno Jody tells it like it is. I bought my everlast tig (and later mig) welder because of his assessments of the equipment. Support him and get his tig fingers and dvds.
Thought about getting the 210 mp
Think I'm gonna go with the Miller multimatic 220 though as soon. Well see, depending on if I owe taxes or get a refund lol
it´s great you are mentioning dimensions im Milliimeter too, thanks a lot
as an apprentice my teacher just said xmas trees mate and work your way up and left me, learnt damn fast was a good start
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to teach the rest of us some good techniques. :-)
Damn, I needed to see this TODAY. Thanks!
This is a really good video. Thank You.
yes v ups are trickier in steel the voltage and current are critically matched, amps have a tiny window of what is too hot or too cold
stick is easy but I sure am struggling with straight mig, using an inverter unimig 250, maybe need a smaller tapered nozzle as the nozzle that i have can easily trip on the weld. will try your methods,
Jody,
love your videos, man. I was wondering if you would make a video mug welding with .045 316/L Stainless flux core? I recently certified with the stuff and I'd be interested to see what you could do with it.
wish i could make anything close
great job
thank you fr your video
Great video. Very helpful!
thanks for mentioning metric units for us over the sea.
Love the videos!!!! Did the part cool down after you welded it with the first technique? I could imagine that if the part was heat-soaked from the first pass, the penetration would be more than if the part was cold. Thanks again for the awesome knowledge you're passing along!!! 👍🏾👍🏾⚡️
Good observation. I did let the piece cool completely. And you are right. It would make a big difference if the second weld was done with metal still hot
Thanks for this video Jody!
Hi Jodie , you're channel is amazing!!!! and I really appreciate you're video and you're passion for welding!!!
I'm from Italy and here we use a 1mm wire, i want ask you a question : Which setting you use in a 3F position with 1mm wire?Volt and inch per minute(metre per minute)?
I asking you this question because I try to change my current welding fab job with something more challenging :-9
Again thanks for you're video
I have been allowed to do a " downhill " pass. Maybe for a grey water tank......maybe. But otherwise......
Great tips i have to say. Always more to learn....
Good video Jody 👊🏻
Awesome video!
Hi bro .i am Indian I see you weldig tips good 50/° learn you video thanks bro......
I wish I worked with someone like you
@2:29 I always try to keep my "SICKout" short. LOL. Anyway, thanks for the great vids Jody!
+4BoltClevo oops. !!! good eye.
Great instructional video
Hi Jody, I have my shiny new MIG welder and I'm laying down some pretty OK looking beads on horizontal plate and horizontal fillet welds. Most of the stuff I'm doing at the moment is 3mm or about 1/8". I'm trying uphill MIG on 3mm fillet welds and I either get it so hot that the weld blobs out and looks like brass monkey nuts or it's so cold that the weld looks like a little snake jumping from one piece of metal to the other. I'm finding it hard to get the right settings and also the right travel speed. I'm trying to watch the puddle and do the little upside down V but I've only layed down a couple of welds out of maybe 100 that sort of looked half ok, but were still not acceptable. What tips would you have on these sort of joints? I've seen one vid (maybe your very first?) where you lay down a downhill root and then go uphill fill. Is that overkill for this thickness? Anyway super awesome channel, I've been watching since maybe 2012. Cheers mate!
thank u sire to learn me to weld like a pro im rachid from belguim
sweet never used either weave before, thats money in the bank thanks.
My welding teacher taught that v motion in school. What kind of shielding gas did you use?
Excellent, as usual.
This is completely different from what we’re doing in class. We’re running 18 v 190 wire speed for our route pass then 16v 180 wire speed for the cap. I’m going to give this a try and see if this works better for me
what about using same heat but turning down the wire speed , would that prevent the crowning of the weld . I use around 200 on wire speed and like it , tends to be flatter
that was super, super helpful. thank you
Thanks for using mm!
Muito bom ....................gostei
Is there a video showing Dual Shield Flux Core .045 on an open root with backing plate?
This video is old. Thanks though for the best information
Can you do a review on the power mig 260
Can you please make a video about spray transfer mig!! I need help
With vertical up!!
what are your settings and what is your regulator set at on your 75/25 tank??
Thank you Jody for your work. When America realizes all it's welders were taught by you and are now in Canada, you'll be in work for a looong time.
Politics aside, I hope you never realize how much of an asset you are because I know I'd be an absolute horror to be around if I knew I was the king of karate island
Do you have tips for vertical square mig weave its for skills USA speed skills?
Is there a benefit to using thinner wire (.030 vs .035)?
nice great tips idea
hello thanks for the video but I have a problem when I balance the weld I go down to weld uphill what is it due to?
That's cool, I like what you did there ;)
I mig weld, soft metal angles to soft medal pedestals, straight across and up hill on both sides, do you have any suggestions for me
Jody- Why is controlling convexity important? Does it simply demonstrate one's control of the process, or is there a strength and safety concern here?
I've been studying your mig videos lately because I will be building a roll cage. So if it's something I need to be on top of I need to know it.
Thanks for the videos!
watch the video again dumbas, you want a good balance between convexity and penetration. more convex = not much penetration
What setting would you use for .35 wire and .45 wire?
Do these techniques work on aluminum as well?
Is there much of a difference in settings with .035 wire?
what is the best way to learn stick or mig. thanks
Very interesting. Thanks.
Can you do a video or couple of videos on flux cored wire doing all positions aswell as full pen butt weld plates. thanks for these tips as copying the technique and settings I managed to pass my vertical up mig test for my apprenticeship, cheers
+Ryan C I am making plans for a flux cored wire video but have to get a spool of wire and some more test plates
+weldingtipsandtricks Awsome, cant wait. I work in heavy transport and forestry engineering and we basicly use flux core for everything
Can propane be used for aluminum welding
Lack of fusion in the root,not traveling up and pausing in the root?
I come from China, thank you for your sharing
Show this to your people maybe they’ll know the standard to meet
What is a short circuit welding and spray welding?
Wish my up hill would look like that
Can you do a straight pull on uphill mig?
