6010 & 7010 Overhead Root Practice Plate

Andrew is a fricken machine. Im also consistently amazed at the video quality of the welding itself. Seeing exactly whats happening with clear instruction is the best teaching method.

[@freedomwatches2454]

Great work! Slowing it down shows those who don't know but those who do understand that it's an intuitive dance that takes lots of practice.

[@kenjett2434]

I do so much welding with AC rods trying to run DC rods is a struggle. The heat settings are so different between them and that is so important to how your able to control the puddle.

[@colepellegrin5491]

It’s a trade that requires a lot of practice and attention to detail. It’s going to take time to find your style of how you weld. If you look around, you’ll see welders with the same technique but the welds look different. It’s like handwriting, we all know how to write words and we all learned how to do it in different ways, but everyone writing looks different. Give it some practice and try new things. Hell, when I started welding, I was taught to drag 6010, after watching some videos and practicing different techniques, I became comfortable with the whip method and I believe my welds look better and are more structurally solid. Don’t be afraid to try new things at all and know you are gonna mess up, when I first started the whip method, my keyholes were so huge for my root that I had to completely restart my joint. After time practice and advice I got better, I’m not perfect but my welds pass xrays and bend tests.

Perm Head Satiko Gintoki what’s your procedure, do you do a 6010 root and 7018 fill and cap or are you strictly trying to practice just 6010 and what joint are you doing like a 2F or 2G?

Just started learning overhead, with 6010. Very frustrating. But im still somewhat new to welding.

[@mikebest1897]

The slow motion arc shots with the explanation is very helpful! 👊🏼🔥👊🏼

[@PipeweldingNomad]

Great camera angles. That’s exact what you want to see. Just a tip that helped me out: it can be very easy to miss your steps while you’re capping. Pay attention to the back of that puddle - if you can see a bright white shadow/c shape behind your puddle, it means you’ve got a low spot!

[@kenjett2434]

Overhead welding one of the hardest skills i have ever tried. They make it look easy here but it isnt i still can't make a clean looking over head although i rarely have a job where its needed. This would definitely take routine practice and a very steady hand to do well. But seeing this technique up close can help.

So for all these rods you'll keep the machine at 90? Cause it still seems too hot an my bead isn't sticking as well.I keep dropping alot of slag.

@Willem - they are called "pancake" helmets. Sarge, Windy's, Empyre South all make them. A lot of pipeline welders and boilermaker welders use them.

Hey jody could you do a vertical uphill fillet weld with a 1/8 7018 on quarter inch plate I’m a 1st year welder at Epcot tech school and I’m going for state competition on the 15 of April and I’m having trouble with rod angle and undercut and Id appreciate if y’all could help me and forgot to add this what Is a good uphill 1/8 6010 technique to make it look very slick and pretty all in the 3f position

[@SlapHappy]

for 6010 uphill, do a small whip upwards keep the rod at a slight push angle just past 90 degrees to the plate. For 7018 uphill, you should do a small weave and make sure to pause on the corners to prevent undercut, rod at the same slight push angle

[@SlapHappy]

Dont even bother about filling in the middle of the bead, it will fill itself. Just go corner to corner pausing on each side

[@wbaisjeff]

It's been a while, but no more weave? Back in the 80's it was 6018 and 7018.

Jody, If you have time I have a quick question that came up today while I was practicing. I was running Hobart 7018 1/8 rods on 1/8 plate just padding beads and trying a few things 110-120 amps I really started making some beautiful welds when I would rest the flux barely against the base metal and let the rod just run dragging it I’ve seen all your videos and you talk about a short arc and I’ve never heard you say that’s bad or good to let it touch the base metal I mean these beads were perfect I could barely feel the metal dragging on the rod and just let it sink against the metal as the rod burned Good idea or is that wrong? Thank you and anyone else that comments I burned about half a ten pound box today. Haha My 6010 is getting better too Thank you so much for all you do to help us and if you haVe time to comment thank you for that too

[@virenarch]

Hello, I need some advice.. Can we weld two ISMC 200 on top of each other but in a diagonal splice to act as a structural column?

[@rchapman7]

How is whipping that far out of the puddle not causing any slag inclusions or cold lap? Even the slow motion shot looks like it froze before he came back over it.

[@SlapHappy]

Because the flux is thin and easily re melts with these rods.

Question, why is the root not whipped in?as in key holing but the cover is( I can see he does it every now and then as it opens). Also why 7010 for hot and not an 18 series rod?

This overhead plate is only done for practice for the bottom of a 5g downhill pipe test where XX10 rods are used all the way. downhill roots are mostly done just like in this video.

[@bofa1914]

@@weldingtipsandtricks I'm used to seeing tig root usually to 1/4 out then it's 8018 fill/cap or dual shield for carbon pipe. Same with structural for the slope flux core or 8018 always up hill even if it's with 6010/8010. Love your channel btw.
