The "crown" is actually the puddle sagging then solidifying. When filling up a joint like that, do the bottom pass first then do the top pass. To help lay the bead flatter, pause at the top then just quickly bump the puddle down then bring it right back up. The beads look good! Just wanted to give you some advice. Cheers!
I’m not sure how I stumbled across your video but I’m a welder as well as an AWS CWI. That porosity was most likely caused by the nozzle gel. Gotta get that nozzle and tip hot before you dip it in then sling off the excess. If you have any questions concerning welding, I’d be more than happy to answer. You also have a new subscriber! Keep on keepin on man!
I had this machine for about six years now, if you want penetration use flux core wire or 030 solid wire with gas, that's it, I only use .024 wire for sheet metal. Try 030 wire and you will see, it's so much easier, what do you have to lose. I did enjoy your video, keep up the good work!
Chris naumann Landscaping this machine can easily handle that job. This little Hobart can do a lot of work in the heavy duty department. Just need multiple passes and frequent breaks to stay within the duty cycle. But honestly for the money you can't beat this machine
What are your thoughts of the miller multimatic 215. I'm thinking of upgrading to something that also does stick welding. Or do you think just a separate stick welder would be a better value and or choice? .
Oh, by the way, I just finished another bumper for a customer, a step bumper for a delivery truck. It came out great, I installed yesterday morning. I have pics. But dont know if there is a way to show them here.
Omg! Loved the video! Made me laugh hard!!! Who drinks beer while making a utube video??? My wife is buying me a Hobart 140 for Father’s Day. I can’t wait
Mark Garcia, actually I've seen a few welding how to vids with some guys doing the paps challenge. You won't be disappointed with this little welder! It can do allot
Man your just a guy trying to put in the work and it’s comedy .. plus you def learned me sum … looking to purchase my 1st welder. And have done a lot research. And your video was def the best and helpful thank you
You may know this now but the crowning you were talking about could have been skipped by making the work piece horizontal instead of welding a vertical piece. You could have left the feed and speed set as it was and let gravity level out your weld….
I was looking at the 210 mvp but you've changed my mind. I won't be doing anything bigger than 3/8ths, and I won't be doing that often. Thanks for a good video.
Wire speed too high equals colder welds equals less penetration. Lower wire speed and let the puddle develope. You will have to move slower but the end result is better. More passes like that will produce results like a 400amp welder. Preheating the work piece will allow better welds with a smaller welder. I have 20+ years experience as a welder. Certified a couple of times.
Joe Atwork I thought about trying that too they say with these transformer welders you can do it but with the newer style inverter welders they don’t like modified sine wave only pure sine wave clean power
I’m a welder. The reason your welds drooped a little on bead 2 is because you’re not holding it long enough on the top part of your circle. You wanna hold it for a second (not literally) then circle fast pause at the top circle fast pause at the top. Also, your welds look thicker, if you can change your amperage. The thicker they are the colder they are. Try using a c motion as well, or a faster circle. And make sure you clean your nozzle like every 3-5 welds so you have no build up. Keep welding brother!
I have a 140 and found out it’s easier welding thicker stuff like 1/4 with flux core wire. Only complaint I have is my machine seems to pop a lot. Kinda like my wire speed is fast but when I turn it down it does the same. Great video 👍🏾
Weld Workz you’re correct they’ll tell you in most of the manuals for the small welders if you’re getting into something thick you’re going to get your hottest welds out of fluxcore only,,, I wonder if all these Hobart 140s pop if they do I don’t think I want one
I have welded 1/4 inch with no prob. Using c25 gas, no popping, get a good ground, and clean everything well. You can heat the steel up first. That will help and bevel the pieces being welded together. Make multiple passes.
Pretty much. To be completely honest I didn’t never think about it until one of the CWI’s came by and told me one day lol. From then on out if it can be welded flat I take advantage of it.
I really have been looking to get a 110V welder of some sort. Here I got 3 Choices. Tractor Supply and Runnings have Hobart. Runnings bit cheaper and currently a big sale until October 31st. Hobart Handler 140 on sale $475, regular $529, TSC wants $539. Home Depot and Lowes have Lincoln Weld Pak 140 for $570. I'm meh about their cheaper welders. The Pro grade Lincolns tho are awesome. Just can't afford one. Then you got Harbor Freight. Vulcan and Titanium are ok, maybe cheaper, but, it's hour either direction, to either HF store, and I don't feel they have as much stuff on the shelf as TSC to keep me going, 10 minutes away, let alone Runnings, which has even more stuff! Lots of stuff! 1 isle is all Hobart, then you got aftermaket KT Industries in another Isle. My relative about 10 years ago went back into his own Ag/Industrial repair business after 20 years working for others (due to his original shop burning in 1992, then going out of dairy in 03). He started back out in a small shop. No 220. So his big welder was mothballed. Until he built the new shop up the road, he bought a Hobart Handler 140, and used it for years, loved it. First thing he said, buy it, but buy a good ground clamp and install it. I see you did that too. Another guy at FD has 1 and bitches about it all the time. Told him put a clamp on it, he blows me off. Fuck 'um then. I want me a god damn Hobart Handler 140, and YOU have sealed the deal for me! I do have a Montgomery Ward PowrKraft 230 AC stick welder (Marquette version, my paternal grandfather's, my maternal grandfather has the Century built version) but no 220 set up. But I don't always need that big ol' beast! Just a 110V. I got involved with tractor pulling, and now Mod Lite dirt track cars. This will be great!
*note: Gary traded his trusty 140 to the 190, which I cut my teeth on at the shop. Love it, just it's 220. Now there is a Miller Millermatic 250X with a big roll of .045 in it at the shop that had sat for years. We almost got that going again. Nice shape. Just needs TLC.
somethinburnin, I can honestly say if you only have access to 110V you won't be disappointed with the 140. But if you can/are going to do/get 220V I would skip the 140 and get the 190 or a MVP miller or Lincoln. Lincoln has some 3 process MVP machines that are worth the money. MVP= Multi Voltage Plug
@@ELKMotorsports plan is get a garage up, I have a 200 Amp long box at the pole. And 45 more feet of entrance wire. Then I can bring "Grandpa" back home from the shop, (he let me bring it there, clean it, and even used it to build a 17 foot gutter cleaner shoot for a barn). So much I'd love to do! Yes, that Handler 190 is really awesome machine, it really works great.
Pretty cool, I liked your settings and how you approach the whole thing. Check your attack angle on the nozzle and approach with a 45° angle that way you don't get that much belly cords. Other than that you're rocking it dude! Can you show the handler 140 working on aluminum? Stay cool sir.
Zariel Andaluz I have actually seen some info online about a kit that lets you plug in the Hobart spool gun into the 140. That's something I would love to do, instead of getting a Teflon lined lead. I'll look into it more. The handler 140 would be pretty good for light aluminum work.
Yer doing good. Sounds like you have a basic grasp of the variables. ✌👍 One tip.... Stay away from coffee, Red Bull, caffeine drinks for the day you want to weld. A steady hand is gold.
keaton beckham, you are very correct. Hell I would even go to say if your are too intoxicated not to do much of anything because of impaired motor functions.
had mine for at least 10+ yrs never a single issue. i’ve welded small art creatures and large HVAC cages (meth head protectors). Only thing i’ve ever replaced are the consumables. Mine only goes up to 4 tho….yours must be a new model
Very cool. So what the is the name and model of that vise stand that was holding your piece while you were grinding, the one that rotates? Also what kind of vise is that with the forward facing jaws?
Devin82m, that is actually something I made. It's just a regular engine stand that I made an attachment that slides into it with an Irwin 4" vise bolted to it. So a section of pipe with a piece of 1/4" plate cut into a square that a regular vise bolts to, that holds the vise on its side.
James Reaper, yes. Just make sure you do some practice passes on some scrap pieces so you get a feel. I actually just built a pipe style jack stand, like the ones rig welders have for welding big pipe on, with some pipe of similar thickness with no problems. Just make sure that you have a good fit.
There is nothing lacking with this welder. For thicker metal do more than one pass. This welder is great, I just finished a flat bed for my pickup truck. Ive built bumpers and fencing. And many other things. Shock mounts for my truck. Lots of stuff. Welds beautifully.
I Know, work was really slow, and I was just like, "I've got plenty of time to film." and of course i get sent on a job. That and I'm not going to lie to you, I've got a long 4th of July weekend that I'm going to be doing a lot. So stay tuned!!!
I Built it with that very Hobart. I'm actually going to do a little video on that stand, Explaining the idea surrounding it and what i did to make it. So stay tuned.
This video doesn't show us how good the weld is. I'm trying to learn how to weld and I just bought me the Hobart 140. From what I understand, welding uses electrical energy to join two pieces of metal my MELTING the parts of the metal adjacent to each other so they can fuse into one. All you showed was a somewhat nice "stack of dimes" but BIG DEAL! How do you know that's a good weld? Is there any way to get an idea of the penetration? To get a good idea of the strength of the weld, why not hitting it with a sledgehammer or let an 18-wheeler run over it? If something breaks, will it be at the weld? Would you put that piece into production and tell whoever is going to use it: "Go ahead, it'll work.....Don't worry about it.....I welded it myself while drinking a few beers.......12 to be exact..........You want to use it in an aircraft?....Sure"
So my intentions with this welder is to build fast go karts and i also have a classic car that needs to be restored. Will this welder be suitable for that? Surely i wont be welding anything thicker than 1/4, and if i do i can heat up the metal with a torch then make a couple of passes right? Ur opinion would be valued.
I'm actually using this welder at work to weld on material 1/8",1/4", 3/8", 5/16", and even on some 1/2" doing repairs to eighteen wheeler trailers and cranes. You have to bevel and properly prep your work pieces is all. This welder have been able to keep up no problem. I've actually just started to out weld the duty cycle of the welder, finally, but it handles the big stuff very well. I'm just not able to do it in one pass is all. Min of three passes on anything thicker than 1/4". And is we are talking about ferrous metals, you really only need to pre heat cast iron, and then keep it heated and have it cool down very slowly so that your weld/repair doesn't crack. But if your only going to be doing automotive stuff this welder is more than capable of doing the job. My only real advise other than that is don't do any gasless flux core welding, dual shielding is fine, or just ER70S-6 0.024 with 75/25 gas ( that's solid wire mild steel mig wire, 0.024 is the thickness, and 75% Argon / 25% CO2) that setup with handle anything light duty, easy prep/clean up and very nice weld.

Little word of advise for best penetration always weld flat but not bad for being self taught
Thank you, I'm guessing if you weld flat you have gravity helping you get the penetration you speak of, correct?

A steady hand is gold.
My 140 is a week old and now it’s acting like it works for a few seconds then it’s like I shut off the gas any ideas?
I can't believe I listened to a drunk for 17 minutes. I learned nothing except to avoid drunks unless you're also drinking.
Like the vise idea!
Bro what type of outlet were you using ? Is it 120v 20 amp? Because I want to use my 140 to it's fullest without blowing any breakers.
He said "im going to be sober when i edit this" and he's been drinking a beer, so is he drunk?😂
keaton beckham, defiantly not the one and only beer, and I'd say more buzzed
@@ELKMotorsports yeah you dont wanna be playing with a welder while intoxicated
keaton beckham, you are very correct. Hell I would even go to say if your are too intoxicated not to do much of anything because of impaired motor functions.
Imagine how good this video could have been if he had been sober
Your weld gun angle is down and working with gravity, hence the belly on your welds.
thanks Shane, I didn't know that would have an effect on that. What should I do in my Technic to correct that?
ELK Motorsports on bring your gun down lower and angle it up just a smidge. That way your weld will lay flush with your other beads
ELK Motorsports also, when you circle don’t feel you have to move. Slow your speed down speed up your circle motion

Why didnt you flatten out that top plate and square the flanges BEFORE welding it back on???
After using this welder would you trust it to weld 1 3/4 .095 wall DOM for a rollcage?
James Reaper, yes. Just make sure you do some practice passes on some scrap pieces so you get a feel. I actually just built a pipe style jack stand, like the ones rig welders have for welding big pipe on, with some pipe of similar thickness with no problems. Just make sure that you have a good fit.

Never welded...
There cleans welds🔥🔥
Good Job!!.........Thanks for the Documentary!!!.......I Would Hire You!!!
Is hobart 140 will it weld pick up truck frame ?
Jim Feaster, passenger truck, yes.
Always have a practice piece to acquire your desired weld. It's not good practice to test on the work piece.
Shane Robinson, yeah that's ideal, but you don't always have the exact same thickness of material laying around, or the quantity of the material.

We need a lot less chatter and some more odd damn welding. PS your not a welder until you can weld upside down!
And slow that damn wire down!
I still can't figure out why no manual starts welder operation with a beer. WTF? Don't these companies know how to weld????
too much wire speed. you can do a lot with the handler on high heat and lower wire speed to really get it to burn in and of course with slower speed.
Weld is too cold! Preheat the base metal with a torch first!
And slow the wire speed feed !!
Use a jar of "Tip Dip"
“Fabracobler” 😂
To much blah blah blah
Lay off the beer while shooting videos. DUDE
