Hi Jody: I'm a Texas rancher and nobody's ever gonna pay me for my welding. That being said, I am just enough of a welder to understand and really appreciate your clear and helpful advice. We use a lot of scrap oilfield pipe around the ranch for structural stuff, and your 7018 lesson is just what I needed. Also, slick tip on the file!!! Thanks, and greetings from The Republic of Texas!!!

[@WV591]

Not only one of the most informative welding channels but very enjoyable. Auto TU channel.

[@theovercomer2006]

I weld for a living, and I enjoy watching and learning from you and other excellent welders on KZbin!

[@Timutubetv]

Your vids have the best energy, best explanations in the welding world that I,ve found.

[@steelfist65]

I love your videos, with the camera work that you produce, I feel like I am standing right next to you with my helmet on. Always a great job.

[@frosto125]

Really appreciate the videos you make. I just started taking welding courses and I've been out of practice for a while. Just wanted to say thanks for the tips and tricks.

[@appallokelley3207]

This video really helped me . I have the same machine and I was practicing these beads with the same rods last night .

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Good job jody, well explained each and every video that you have done. It has also helped recently while tig welding an aluminum frame project on 1"x 1" x1/8" 6011 rounded edge square tube. Although without %2 lanthanated 3/32 (its on order)and using pure only problem I have had was a balled up electrode trying to get crisp starts unless i keep sharpening them.

[@MrDunk66]

Still lovin' your videos Jody - thanks for sharing.

[@kevinashby3784]

Thanks for the instruction. I find them very helpful. Your instruction method makes it easier to pick up the pointers.

[@darinareyacrazyman1505]

Ya,Jodi,the file tool,got one similar myself that I made many years ago.Started with an old power hacksaw blade about 2" wide and 14" long.Added a wooden handle and made it so the teeth cut on the pull stroke.All these years it's stayed sharp enough that it can even be used in a pinch to open a root up.

[@fm3arthur]

Hi Jody I have enjoyed your vids - I now have Phoenix weld rod dryer And the right rod does a great job - even in Glendale, AZ we have monsoons and they add moisture to the rod so the dryer does the trick and as you have said the right rod and in the right conditions the peal up is awesome. I have friends that have small fridges that have heat in them to dry the rod but from my past I was always told to buy a Phoenix rod dryer so - yea I did anyway Thanks Great Job

[@zebrasomas]

I wish I had this welding machine... Thanks for sharing Jody!

[@TheMabDeno]

I've ended up modifying an old power hacksaw blade as my chipper/scraper. I use the saw teeth for exactly the same reason you cut grooves in your file, works wonders.

[@ahmedezay8277]

you are the best welder ever .. i well always learning from you

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

ahmed ezay I am not even close...but thanks anyway.

[@Ciscohouston1]

Good tip on the file modification, I'm going to make one for home use. I'm a CWI weld inspector on a nuke plant, inspecting your welds would be easy they look very good. Thanks for all your videos.

[@crcameron1]

I am making up a file like that tomorrow night , pretty slick idea. Thanks for another great video.

[@CompEdgeX2013]

And here I thought "stick" was THE technical term...;-) Always learn something from your vids Jody, thanks. Colin

[@chandlersims6412]

Just got done with my padded plate at lanier tech 7018 and 6010 . 6010 is starting to look like my 7018

[@CraigArndt]

Another excellent video. I like the tip with the file, that will come in handy when I'm using flux core.

[@princebatswater]

I like the file modification tip. Thanks for that.

[@michaelphillips5445]

Excellence in 7018 fundamentals

[@workwillfreeyou]

Thank you very much. Great practice welding pipe. The hand position always changing. Please share your experience on D.C.Arc blow. Its something that I have to be carefull of and I'm sure you could help everyone address.

[@chrisjones6165]

can u review the esab mini arc 161lts. great affordable dual voltage stick/tig machine that burns a 6010. love mine and I got it for practicing pipe

[@rolandorivera5503]

Can you make a video about 6011 down hill ? I've been trying it lately at my high school shop but I keep leaving undercut. My school only provides 6011, 6013, and 7014. So I can't use 7018.

[@swkarg]

Great video..Any news on using this 210 with Lincoln aluminum spool gun? Thanks

[@Langerang]

Just orderd one a week ago should be here tommorow

[@pierresgarage2687]

Great trick with the file... thanks, Pierre

[@mauriciosaldana6207]

Thanks Jody I will check that.

[@Retroweld]

Great tips Jody.

[@smbrob]

Hell you make it look so easy

[@gabegonzalez5679]

Nice thinking of getting 210 myself

[@goalie996]

How do u think this machine would work with open roots on pipe ? Does it have an arc force control??

[@JonDingle]

Great video!

[@needtoknow204]

Awesome video!!!

[@king_dmac3628]

Jodi, have you made any videos of FCAW 3g or 3f? i cant find any. also, how many amps for an open butt weld 3g stick welding 3/8 inch steel? 6010

[@jamesfalvey77]

No 6010 on the mp? Bummer, I was looking to buy one

[@D.Magic_]

Nice work

[@ImStyL]

What's your method of welding? Do you push & pull, e's, c's etc...?

[@ronnieschwa2214]

Have a question would appreciate the help I have some Half inch plate steel to Weld on to my tractor bucket having a 200 amp inverter welder would using a 7018 1/8" Rod be sufficient for penetration and strength, I have to world half inch plate on to to a 3/16 inch tractor bucket, Will it give me enough penetration on the half inch without burning through the 3/16, I would presume I would have to do multiple passes. Thanks for the help

[@Richiemouse]

Hi Jody, thanks for your youtube videos, as a DIY welder I've really learned a lot from them. The Powermig 200MP looks great but it's not available in the UK, do you know if the Speedtec 200C, which is available here, is the same machine? It looks the same.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Richiemouse they sure do look alike. But i am not really sure if they are exactly the same. while they look alike, its possible they are made in different countries.

[@Abom79]

I always enjoy some nice stick welding Jody. Thanks for showing some more tips on it's use. I've never used the Excalibur brand rods as my local Airgas don't stock them. Do you see a difference in quality compared to other brands? Adam

[@acekopanski]

Abom79 Huge difference in quality, clarity, wetout, and slag removal. Cant believe a major distributor like Airgas doesnt stock the best Lo Hi out there.

[@Abom79]

That's a whole other subject id rather not get into, but yea, they don't stock a lot. Usually what I want or need they don't have..... But can order it. 😣 I remember once going up there for some nickel rods and all they had was these two rods per package hanging on the shelf. I was like Wtf?? I want a can full of rods dude, not two. "We can order some" 😣 I want to get some of those Excalibur rods and try. I do a lot of 7018 stick welding.

[@acekopanski]

+Abom79 You won't be disappointed.

[@KnolltopFarms]

Abom79 I feel your pain my friend, I feel your pain. I have to drive 30 miles to the nearest welding shop, and all they stock are off-brands, or "I can order what you need". I have learned to call ahead and hunt up the right store, which is always different, so I can never seem to build a relationship with any one guy or store...

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Abom79 Adam, I do see a difference for certain jobs and if I set heat just right and dont sneeze, slag peels off easier than some other brands.

[@arturoflores9628]

Hey Jody what brands were the 6011 and 7018 rods?

[@williamblair2934]

Do you need to run at 220 volts in order to weld 1/4 wall pipe with the mp 210 ?

[@Uts9000]

fast, to the point, informative, enjoyable. Nine minutes went by way too fast. Thank you., i learn something with every re-view. one question. I've tried to weld vertical with 7018 with little success, it want to build up and drop slag, got any hints?

[@xXCRAWLERMANXx]

what lens shade did you use.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

10/4 on stick. That's all I've ever heard it called.

[@alexduke5402]

Hey great video kinda need some advice I've got a hydraulic 12' road blade for a tractor it was broke last weekend the threads on the cylinder pulled out of the clevis and we broke the cast clevis getting the rusted pin out we have a clevis that will work but I'll have to weld a new threaded extension to that piston I was going to bevel and weld it then screw on the clevis and weld that to the cylinder piston also it is the main hydraulic cylinder for the blade it takes ALL THE ABUSE would you weld it stick or mig

[@ohshucks7156]

Stick it

[@adibabrahmziy]

I ordered TIG finger! Can't wait. Make my tests easy hahaha. Maybe Co workers might want one after they see me dragging finger on pipe like it's not hot ;)

[@mauriciosaldana6207]

How and where can I get that Tig finger.

[@WhiskyBreathe]

Thinking about purchasing. What’s your opinion? Still running ?

[@eformance]

I have a 210MP, what feeling did you get for the duty cycle limits on that while running all those beads? I picked the 210MP because of prior problems with the lower end Miller wire feeders, cheap guns, and lower duty cycle. I had a couple Millers before (135XP and 170).

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

eformance I didnt notice any bobbles. no difference from rod to rod from beginning to end..except me shaking a bit.

[@codysett1]

Jody I just got my first arc welder from my father inlaw for free and it's a brand new 110amp cheap buffalo Chinese welder and it's pretty old but I notice that my slag when I go to chip it away it is really hard to get off and doesn't break in big pieces like yours. I'm using 7018 3/32s lincoln rods from home depot. the welds look pretty decent and get good penetration and heat at 80amps for some scrap 1/4 in a36 plate but I'm just curious if this is ok? is it just the series of electrode I'm using?

[@ohshucks7156]

Dcep for 7018 3/32 ,,, use 90 amps

[@alejandrolovato1295]

como se bisela pipe 8" par soldar 2G me ayudan por favor gracias.

[@psiwog]

G'day Jodie! Why did you have to do so many passes on this? If I were welding some I beams in a structural environment how many vertical passes would I need to be doing? Cheers

[@4570Govt]

Jesus is the man "So many" passes provides enough content to edit from, so he can share the amount of information he deems necessary for the video. Generally, a weld fillet size is specified in an a WPS provided by the engineers to the weldors. The weldors therefore do the amount of passes required to attain that required fillet size as specified by the WPS.

[@psiwog]

chopperdan88 Cheers :)

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Jesus is the man the comment by chopperdan88 was spot on .....I made the weld big for the sake of practice and for video editing reasons. His comment on the WPS (welding procedure specification) was spot on as well.

[@dalton6439]

I heard somewhere that your supposed to use your slag hammer to put dimples in the weld when your done to release surface tension so the weld does not fracture as it cools down.. ? I have no idea if there's any truth to this but for the times I have to weld I just do it for grins. Is there any truth to this or can I stop making my welds look worse?

[@N1cko97]

Jason Dalton that's just a way of welding cast iron without a pre head weld 1" and smack the crap out of it, with mild steel you don't need to do it

[@guQYdjfdwkCFQDFqUTTrqyVrhTN]

I own this powermig I recently tripped the 230 breaker in my warehouse NOT KNOWING it was connected to plug that was meant for my 230 AC tig welder. Now my power mig turns on but automatically shuts off. I hear a loud BUZZ or rattle at the corner of my shop, followed by a shut off of the machine. I purchased a new circuit breaker for $7 from Lincoln. It didn't help. Waiting on power switch to be shipped. Machine is 8 months old, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

[@christoconservativecanadia4459]

My 210 mp works nice with just about any 7018,8018 and 10018. However ,it's hard to maintain a proper keyhole during 6011 open root, and it's the worst I've tried in a 6010 open root. That being said, it's still one of the most capable little machines, for the 'do it yourself' person, for the money !

[@speedracer3967]

Thanks Jody. I have the 210 mp, and I am only able to run at 110 because my genny doesn't have an outlet that fits the 220 plug that came with the welder. i a. Running an Generac 5500, and the 220 outlet doesn't match. Any suggestions on either a splitter or some kind of adapter?

[@NBSV1]

If you're ok doing wiring you can get a female plug that fits the welder, then a male plug that fits the outlet along with a short bit of wire to go between them. Wire the male and female together and you can make a short pigtail adaptor for the welder.

[@ohshucks7156]

Set up a 220 outlet

[@Homeinspectorsny]

Home depot and some rv places have adapters Hom Depot has them in the electrical isle by the 220 plugs or the generator cords.

[@allinlen]

Would that be considered to much weld for that thickness pipe?

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

allinlen yep, that would be overwelded because the wall thickness on the pipe is less than 1/4" ...but if the round part was solid, that weld might be about right. I just made the weld big for the video and for the practice.

[@hitman246ww]

Może i do spawania słupów ogrodzeniowych ten trik się nada. Jednak jeśli chodzi o spawanie rór pod prześwietlenie, gość nie zdał egzaminu. Przeszedł z poz. ciągnącej do pchającej co widać na początku filmu gdzie 2-giej spoiny nie pchamy. Cała różnica między rolnikiem a spawaczem

[@mauriciosaldana6207]

I need to order that Tig finger can some tell me the Web. please.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Mauricio Saldana you can find them at weldmonger.com

[@mauriciosaldana6207]

Thanks Jody I will be ordering it very soon

[@JP-ku5ur]

can this machine run 6010?

[@JellyGrease]

"Every" machine burns 6010 and not some many burn 7018.

[@christopherortega800]

I just failed my la city unlimited thickness 3g structural test but I passed the 4 g which is basically nothing =(

[@billdlv]

Christopher Ortega That sucks. I have always felt that 3g is the hardest position. So this was the 1" plate with the 22.5 degree bevel and a 1/4 backer strip?

[@christopherortega800]

+Bill De La Vega yah

[@YankeeinSC1]

You could throw a "P" in that clams acronym and make it C.L.A.M.P.S... The "P" would of course remind you about prep, as in metal prep...fit-up, scale removal, between pass "B.B." removal, etc...,

[@johnmazz88]
