How to weld a 3F on 3/8 Plate and Run a vertical 7018

[@Waterstsanjo]

I am here to refresh. I haven't welded since I got my certification. And now I got a test on Monday. Dam it.

[@josephd2059]

You are teaching the right way. My instructor in high school taught me the same way by running stringer beads. He did not allow wash passes because mastering stringer beads will help you when you move on to learn pipe.

[@LilFish0]

Thank you for explaining the rod angle! Very helpful

[@TACKYOMETAL]

I have a 3f tomorrow, ima kill it with this angle tech. appreciate it.

[@ahn00bus510]

This was hard i def need practice but this is why im here i passed my 2f test and now about to learn 3f then 4f welding

[@jerrymartinez2160]

Why does sometimes the puddles start dripping down? I’m running into this issue and would love some insight.

[@DiegoRamos-oy8od]

it’s too hot

[@JKenken-t9x]

If it's dripping your going to slow and your in the middle too much, or check your amperage I would say

[@theodorebradford7450]

At start, they dont call it stick welding for nothing XD

[@juliusspartacus5437]

I've been struggling hard with 7018 vertical fillet joint. Every video I have seen has some kind of upside down V or crescent or side to side manipulation to prevent undercut. Well, turns out those manipulations were giving me undercut. As soon as I just tried to lay it in with virtually no manipulation except for the slightest wiggle it laid in like it was goin to sleep. So for anyone struggling like I was and being given all of the Christmas tree, upside down V, three dimensional triangle garbage forget that nonsense. Just keep a tight arc, but don't gouge, and keep a steady travel speed with a straight in or slightly raised travel angle.

Why is the second bead not weaved?

[@everettebegay4397]

I'm interested in becoming a welder and pipe fitter, I heard Tulsa is one of the best welding school in USA?

[@SuperTheController]

People be whining and crying saying a 7 month program doesn’t teach you anything and that it’s expensive for no reason blablabla. Yes it’s expensive but does it teach you a lot YES!!! you have to be willing to put many hours in practice at Tulsa or anything that has to do with welding it’s something that I learned from the start. If you are a couch potato it’s probably not a good trade for you. The people saying that it doesn’t teach you nothing are the COUCH POTATOS that don’t want to listen or put in extra hours. You can stay practicing all day if you want until the school closes and no one bothers you. The price of the school literally pays its self they help you get a job. It might take a minute but they try.

[@eakd8271]

@@SuperTheController I agree I go to Tulsa and show up Saturdays and take no breaks whiles others sitting around on there phone taking all the breaks those are the ones that say it’s not worth it and don’t learn anything.

[@baseballlover_]

I went to Missouri welding institute it’s only a 4.5 month program. The founder of the school was actually an instructor at Tulsa before he founded the school.

[@carof08]

Don't waste your money go to a community college it's fraction of the cost with retired veterans of the trade with 40 plus years experience that's ware the knowledge is

[@drew9759]

As a student tulsa is definetly the best hands on school. Some CCs and some tech schools dont except everyone where as tulsa takes ALL. Only thing they dont tell you (besides the facts its 26k ) is that its 100$ a month

[@quincybrown9479]

Is 5he measurement of these beads equal to 5/8 ?

[@patriotskingnation8084]

i thought we were suppose to weave with vertical not drag up.

[@Solaniin]

We weave at my school on 3f

[@jessiecharles1427]

@@Solaniin mine too

[@Solaniin]

@@jessiecharles1427 Maybe "weave" isn't the right term here, but a side-to-side oscillation to create a proper width.

[@bahagharidon1940]

I think the final capping should be weave. But, if we talk about strenght and bend test, runnin bead is the strongest than weave.

[@jessiecharles1427]

@@bahagharidon1940 alot of people can't weave without getting undercut, I run stringers now on 5g pipe but will weave if my bevel wasn't cut right

I’m in nc can u help me with vertical

[@daytonbuckhunter5927]

Every bead this dude ran looks like shit 😂 going to fast and not letting the bead get nice and flat. Tie inns look terrible too lol

I don't know where this guy got his training but he need to learn how to do a 3 F.

[@kazleehart2656]

The tie in on the first pass😂👎🏻

[@BackyardKreaper]

5 to a max 10 degrees of a push angle..... runs a 20 degree angle the whole time. If you don’t change your angle you’ll get undercut, proceeds to make a bread knife from that edge of plate. No undercut at all, maybe a little tiny bit right there but no big deal, as he passes by the 1/4” crater on that root tie in. 😂. Tulsa got y’all paying 20k for a cert from these dudes

[@cowboy_braidenn4836]

You can’t talk bro. These guys can out weld any of us and you know it. Your just a rod burner compared to these guys

[@colbybarlow6247]

​@@cowboy_braidenn4836na bro he isn't out welding anything but the students.

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

And it's not 5 or ten degree position ur using

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

There are vids on free hand welding on flat rod position using wood that is as zero position u can get . 90 degree is looking downward up and down . Ok I'm off this u would have failed just using the wrong angle

[@erickwardwell962]

I quit watching at 1:07 because I knew right then it wasn't worth it.......😂😂😂😂👎👎👎.

[@ogunbiyipaul1659]

😂😂😂 you welded shit bro, that's not passing eye view anywhere.

[@khaledserhani1999]

No. Good

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

5to ten degree is almost laying the rod flat not 80 or 70 ish degree u using or could be 90. But u said 5 to ten that's not 5 or 10 degree on holding the rod lol I'll back up and recheck

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

Ok 5 to 10 degree max are u laying it almost flat on the rod ? Lol that's not 5 nor 10 degree position

[@fak892]

I'd stick the start too at 110A. 120A at least...

[@thetexorcist2235]

Idk about it

[@southdubify]

I run this at 87 with no problems

[@matarnold1371]

@@southdubify different size rod

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

5 or 10 degree position really? Five or ten degree max ? Really? Ur laying the rod flat almost perpendicular to go plate not a 45 degree position. U almost as laying the rod on the metal itself lol it's not 5 or 10 degree max . Lol get ur angles right. That isn't 5 or 10 degree angle. 45 and 90 u said 5 or 10 ur almost laying the welding rod flat . Not 45 angle and 90 . In other words . The angle u said is wrong. Not 5 or ten degree position should be 45 and 90

[@lawlowmusic5571]

He is referencing his hand/stinger as the center/0 point and the rod is angled in the corresponding degree. So technically his angle is around 5-10 degrees. I assume he chose to do this for the learners to understand easily. No need to go . All . Crazy . With . The . Grammar . Lol .

[@marqoh]

NCCER recommends a 10-20 degree max too

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

I might have heard u wrong not never 5 or ten degree .. 45 and 90

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

Get ur angles right

[@ahmadikhwan9811]

Hadirr

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

U said 5or ten degree position on welding lol

[@muhammadaqilmustaqimjj8663]

apa dia cakap tu raju

[@lannyfullerjr6956]

I guess y'all do it differently. Straight up is 0 degree . Ud fail on just that 5 to ten degree angle . Ur again la nevermind. Y'all do it differently there. 45 and 90 degree on welding rod position. Y'all do it differently there. U would fail just on the position u said

[@juangonzalez423]

im 14 and can say i weld better than this guy w confidence 😭

No u can't stfu

[@markestranero]

For real?

[@Smokeyfilms_]

alotta hate from keyboard warriors lmao, let's see you lay down a perfect 3f

[@SlashPlatinum]

I came here to get tips and make mine better but this guy is worse

[@admiralstark3fx]

Why did you not back drag your first arc attempt? I see from the next 5 passes that you're pretty skillful at stick welding. I honestly would love to see that kind of quality overall in my 7018 passes.
