MIG Welding Basics part 6 Tee Joint Drill

[@apihmohd]

I watch this legend when i was student 7-8 years ago,now i'm a welder and still watch this legend 😊

[@asmpliage02]

Same here😂 He's the best👍👍💪

[@papreplepen]

Me too.

[@markvincentsalandanan5970]

333 tree hundred thirty tree the amphere? And volt is 20v? Right?

[@stephenpeak6501]

Thanks for these videos , The Jr. College were I'm taking welding we just have 2.5 hours and two days a week for eight weeks to try to learn this stuff and being someone who has never welded before these videos help a lot.

[@busilica123]

I really like your channel because you are clear and straight in teaching us. You are not typical marketing US guy who sell fog to the people to earn $$ over night. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@erikdale9145]

busilica123 he does an excellent job and great service to us all. But, I wouldn't classify all of us in America as buffoons or BS salesman, just some people here do that but generally not when "real or hard work" are concerned.

[@CantankerousOB]

Jodi it's a damn shame I'm going to school (almost finished actually) but I'm learning more from your videos than I am in school. We're taught NEVER drag, even though our NCEER books show pushing, pulling as well as 90 degree angles and the advantages/disadvantages of each. As far as settings on the mig machine, I now understand what to look for and why, to improve my beads. We're basically taught to set the machine at X and X and practice welding. We're not taught WHY to set the machine up just so. You're videos are outstanding and greatly appreciated by myself and most of my classmates. We are all big fans. BTW I've ordered your tig finger and highly recommend it! It works every bit as well as you say it does.

[@jonharrington9545]

I just wanted to thank you Jodi your videos taught me more then my school and also helped me get the job of my dreams I passed my first 6g weld test for a job on friday. thank you again for your valuable time and information

[@noiburglar]

Hello. I am currently studying at college in the UK and used a MIG welder for the first time ever yesterday, and I bloody loved it! It was amazing, although the same cannot be said about my welding! Aha (maybe in time) Anyway, just wanted to say that I found your channel today and absolutely love these videos and just wished to say thank you for creating them. They're super insightful! Many thanks

[@The-Big-J]

How’s life gone since then haha

[@noiburglar]

@@The-Big-Jpretty well thanks hah. Working for one of the top construction companies in the UK in the energy division. Albeit not hands on welding but coordinating with our fabrication and construction teams 👍🏻

[@jasonbourne4865]

I really appreciate the clear, concise and competent approach to your videos. Straight to the point and just enough jargon to make me not immediately feel lost. For a beginner like me, this is pretty much the best online resource there is. Thank you for uploading these videos! :)

[@thetman2301]

Best videos on welding by a long shot! You have definitely shown me a lot of techniques and helped me get better at welding. Thanks

[@claythejetpilot]

ive watched your videos scene i was freshman in high school and now its my last year and ive been teaching the night class with the shop teacher for 2 years. i teach adults how to weld with all the diffrent processes and fab all kinds of stuff at the high school and i just want to say thanks for the great videos and i have used a tig finger and it works great.

[@MultiFeezy]

Testing on this tomorrow for my first job. Should be pretty easy but I'm 5-6 years removed from MIG. I'm glad I came to this video ✊🏾

[@waterloofire37]

I really appreciate these videos. I've tweaked a few things in my welding because of these videos you post, and it's made a huge difference.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

This is the drill that helps people the most. We didn't really do a pad of beads in my first class we just kinda ran a few beads on a flat piece of metal but not side by side or anything. Then we moved on to this and then we moved on to stacking the pieces so you had to get in there then it was uphill then overhead now we are doing bevel plates. I am really starting to like welding.

[@bignorbert1136]

Jody, your unerring straight lines are just fantastic, and proof (because sometimes I'm not sure) that it can be done! Every time! You're a pro, I'm a guy in a barn, but I will do consistent straight beads damnit. Love your video's. Thanks.

[@InkSlinger1337]

This really is good practice. Even with more than a few years of experience, if I have some downtime at the shop I will do this same drill just to keep my skills up. Same thing with any other process, if I have time I don't stand around and look at the clock or whatever else I maintain my skills. We don't do a whole lot of TIG welding at work but at least every other day I run a few beads on a piece of scrap.

[@jimmcardle2419]

Best MIG instructional videos I’ve found so far - thank you! Awesome camera videography to show the details you describe in post-real time. The greatest kudos I can give you is this: NEVER ONCE have I heard the phrases “YOU GUYS”, or “…GO AHEAD AND…” Outstanding content.

[@mattandjena]

Love the videos. I am a master/professional instructor in the Air Force/aviation industry and your teaching skills are very good. Your explanation of processes always include the most important aspect of the process and that is why you are doing what you’re doing. You are going to make some good welders with these videos. I am still not very good at it but you have made me better than I was two months ago.

[@IronLife1386]

Airman here, mtech, and these videos help out greatly.

[@phillipmortlock393]

this is the only video that actually shows a full strength fillet, i bullshitted my way into a job and have to do weld test at later date finger crossed with practice i will flook it wish me luck

[@MrXtravagantx]

Howd it go lol

[@kevinportillo605]

Your videos are the best man, thank you. I'm a student and this helps alot.

[@Abowhuntersjourney]

We do "multipass" usually 3 pass on basw plates for large columns and such usually over full penetration preps Its a good technique for giving the weld more surface area bite on the parent metal

[@RenataFuruya]

Thank you so much 🙌 I'm starting welding here in Japan 🇯🇵 thank you very much! God Bless

[@allisonmurphy2409]

This may be an old video but man it helped me see what my teacher was talkin about with gettin in it and goin half on half off and gettin on top of the 2nd bead's area on the 1st. Overall great video and very helpful as always keep it up !

[@sylveonnn]

thank you for your help! your videos helped me so much in school and helped me ace my certifications 👍🏻

[@Nonehasthisnamekek1]

Liking this alot! Big thanks for making this series. /Welding student from Sweden

[@markwiskerke1824]

Thank you for all those videos, that you make. I learned a lot. I own two weling machines now, Tig DC and now a mig welder too. Good times for my hobby are coming.

[@propellerhead9197]

Love these basics vids. I am learning to use my Lincoln 140 HD at home. Great service. Short and sweet, to the point. Not a lot of gum flapping like some channels.

[@tetra4411]

Thanks, for posting. ! When I was in high school shop classes all we did is sit around taking safety tests most of the semester.

[@joeyg2480]

So glad I found you.You have a way about teaching that just works .Thank you...✌✌!!

[@DarrkMane]

Wow. Thanks for the videos man, appreciate it. Lessons & detailed instructions that my teacher wouldn't even take the time to teach his students. Keep it up, you're a great help & resource!

[@Merica73]

Great video Jody! Thanks so much for sharing and documenting what you’ve learned. YOu’re a great teacher.

[@joshuacaylor881]

Your videos are so helpful, man. Thank you!

[@mostafaagamy2416]

Thank you for your help.. from Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

[@BLVNC0999]

Thank you for being specific about the 2/3 over lapping my instructor was never specific about that helped me out big time I got my SMAW and GMAW certificates, now to get new glasses and find a job lol

[@pierresgarage2687]

Hi Jody, Yep... It's like that, takes practice to keep the hand and the eye in tune, since I do machining too it's useful to practice, just to keep the reflexes acute. Good explaining and excellent way to put in words what to look for and how to interpret the results... Keep on the good work! Pierre

[@olablanton5728]

Great instructional videos. I really like your approach to sharing your knowledge.

[@MrBernardoalves]

HELLO FRIEND, I AM HERE IN BRAZIL, CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE EXCELLENT WORK, GOD BLESS YOU, HUGS.

[@JG-qh9kf]

i love your videos, very informative. hopefully my welding will get better as a result. thanks!

[@Sp00ny97]

Jody, in upcoming week i have the test for this type of weld, would you please tell me, do you generaly clean the top of the weld before doing another pass over it ? Thank you for the videos you are great !

[@lucasspaniard8430]

Thanks Jodi, your videos have really helped!

[@jazlinshai777]

Very helpful!! Trying this out today and i just wanted some more tips on what to look out for and this really helped give me a better idea of what to do! Thanks!!

[@hasankkk9155]

Sizin orda kaynakçı maaşı ne kadar hacum

[@Keithskane]

sweeping the arc like an inverted flick also keeps you on the front of the puddle, sorta like the flick technique with a 6010 only you flick up on the back stroke

[@blueslav101]

Thanks nerd i have suffered for 3 weeks on 2f flat and which this should been easy but like they all say if ur hand can't fold to stroke then you fail in life but i got an 88 today and all it cost was my ankles bleeding and my left hand into a blister but thanks for the tips my good sir

[@MatthewMakris]

This is really helpful, thank you! I have a Home Depot Lincoln Electric 140 mig and need to weld 3/16" square tubing together for a welding table. Will this technique work with this underpowered welder? Thanks!

[@nizolanizola7484]

Very good lesson, but I would like to clarify something,when you drag is the torch prop on the metal or not?? Please I need help 🙏

[@giddyupbo]

Hi Jody, I was wondering why you are only using 330 inches per minute of .035” wire for these 1/4” welds when the formula you discussed of 1 amp per .001” of metal should come out to 400” per minute of .035” wire. Also, it seems to me that the voltage you have it set at would seem to be a little too high for what I expected. I am basing this off of the experience I have with my Miller 251 welder. By the way, according to the chart on my welder, the 1/4” setting using .035” wire and 75%25% argon and CO2 is 19 volts at 320 IPM of .035” wire. I have checked the wire feed speed using your technique and found the welder is pretty much spot on. Is there that much variation between different welders that makes our numbers that much different? Or am I missing something? Also, I rather like to weld 1/4” steel with my welder set at 400 IPM .035” wire at 20.5 volts. I do have to move a little faster for a travel speed though.

[@jorgemedina9144]

Could you do a video on welding inconel with mig? What type of gas do you use with inconel?

[@skipjagger]

I have never done an actual "multipass" weld before. I mean I have done my (probably wrong) version of it many times (I worked for a small welding shop for about 6 years that welded primarily.065-.120" wall tubing and probably 1/8-1/4" and rarely some 3/8" plate) but never got into anything pulling more than around 120-160A. I am running into a project that needs a bit of 1/2" plate welded and NEEDS to be structurally sound. I have a Millermatic 250 with a spool of .025" ER70S-6 in it, it's looking like I should probably snag a an .035 or .045" spool, liner and tip for the gun and then crank the voltage up. Running 75/25 for gas, apparently 100% CO2 burns a little hotter, not sure if that even matters. Any info you can throw over here would be greatly appreciated!!

[@rvalcourtpersonaca]

Jodi whenever I have to weld a critical joint I like to prevent LOF by bevelling the metal to get better penetration. On a T joint I bevel the upright piece. On a butt I bevel both pieces and I usually grind the opposite side through to the weld to achieve total penetration. Is this a recommended technique or not. Love you're videos ,keep them coming.

[@viscache1]

When welding in a cold shop do you heat the metal with a torch first?

[@pickfordpratt]

Hi Jody. Love the very informative videos but for the benefit of us international viewers could you use some metric figures for wire diameter and plate thickness please. Thanks

[@SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS]

Hey Jody! could you do a video on mig welding thin sheets/pipes with minimal destortion without copper backing. what Im looking for is submerging the work in water exept the area that your welding to cool it. Does it work or is it pointless, if it works it would be an alternative to expensive tig equipment where a mig is not reallt suitable. Thanks man your channel is pure gold

[@kennethlaw6611]

can u do video about different helmets to use. good better or best to us? settings on helmets.

[@Uncoiled7]

Awesome videos! I feel as though I have learned a lot watching. On an unrelated note, what type of camera and setup are you using to shoot the video of the arc?

[@maine932]

On the 4 beads over the 3 bead portion of this demo, would you start over the root weld, or start against one of the base metals being joined?

[@longstockinify]

Thanks for the tip!! i will be trying this out tomorrow

[@maxrider672]

I was wondering if you've ever done any 5g tig or 6010 root 7018 fill and cap videos. Also and downhill 6010 vids

[@brandonhernandez9260]

Hey Jody where can I get a better idea or look on that technique you said makes nice ripples?

[@sscgrom-4324]

Very informative video. THANK YOU

[@davedarling6512]

Nice vid as always Jody, I asked my students to subscribe and help you out on the road to 1 mill. Thanks!!!

[@alexanderharbaugh1685]

Another great video

[@wilkbor]

I appreciate this series of videos. Is there a reason for multiple passes other than practice? Is a two-pass weld stronger than a single pass? What about three? Are three passes stronger than two? Thanks again for the series. KB.

[@stevesnyder3892]

Hello my name is Steve. I am a master carpenter and have always worked in plastics and wood but never much in metal. I have one eye and only see 20/70 in that eye. A little nervous about welding making sure I can see the puddle while protecting my eye. Do they make a magnifier for a helmet and what are the "best" helmets to use. I have seen the auto darkening but is that letting a small flash each time you start welding? any tips on helmets would be great. Thank you Steve

[@muhammadsaqib2974]

U r real my teacher Sir.

[@powercr250]

Can you cut it in half and stain it so we can see what it looks like. Can you do videos on flux core

[@lancedowney9241]

Hey jody i go to school for welding and i started mig welding today but im used to stick welding do you have any tips

[@Freeearning3.0]

1. keep your stuck-out short 2. Don't weld cold just for appearance 3. Don’t use to much gun angle 4. Keep are on leading edge

[@FullPenetrationWeldn]

Just out of curiosity, if you could do it all again, what career would you chose? What school, what job and so on.

[@7711gman]

Hi there. Great videos I'm learning a lot! I have had a craftsman 60 amp MIG welder for about 15 years. It's starting to give me feed issues and I've never been able to get that bacon sound like at a shop I worked at. I want to upgrade to a more powerful 240v machine with 10 lb spool capacity. I found the Lotos 175 is in my price range ($575) and it comes with a standard MIG torch and a spool gun for aluminum. Ever work with a Lotos? Miller is out of my price range. I weld anything from .065" to .50". Just looking for some insight. Again great videos!

[@rescobar8572]

Jody, on this video, you ended up with a total of 7 laps on that last inside corner. More passes will yield a stronger joint? My real question is, if the initial pass has very poor fusion, will the others be for nothing?

[@MRrwmac]

Question slightly off the subject. What lens setting do you use for the camera? I ask because it's a great view of the puddle? Your logo shows a fist and muscles on the guy, why both (haha)? Thanks for sharing.

[@elsart0]

Hi everyone. Nice video (this is for Jody only ;) ). Will the same exercise be useful even with stick? Thanks.

[@Michaellex1Tay]

I enjoyed your teachings

[@pilarcortez3707]

I really like your videos man thanks can you make one video using 0.45 wire

[@freedomman06]

Jody I would like to see a video devoted to your favorite stick electrodes: the 6013 :P The reason being is in the UK its about the most common rod youll find, particularly in general hardware stores etc.

[@williamsnook6387]

G'day Jody, I've been having a bit of trouble setting my mig welder at higher voltages, I've got a Lincoln Redi-Mig 215c which i believe is only sold here in aus, but it has step control voltage settings, and from about 21.1V to 23.2V it only seems to go for globular transfer no matter what i do with the wire feed speed. One voltage step down from that range it short circuits just fine and above it gets into spray transfer.. I'm using 92% argon 5% co2 and 3% oxygen gas, is that possibly what's causing this? I've searched around for a video on setting the machine at higher voltages but haven't been able to find much. Cheers, Will.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I think your gas is the main reason for your not being able to weld short circuit in those voltage ranges. 92% argon is not as forgiving as a 75/25 arg/co2 for short circuit mig.

[@brianward6291]

EXCELLENT stuff!

[@yokaril]

Hi Jody... Noob question.... I have moved from stick to MIG...not really meaning that I have mastered the process of arc welding. It's just that I wanted to learn this and soon TIG. ... my Hobart 190 is great machine... I have played with it, I even tried it without shielding gas. The question is-why do I get bubbles on top of my weld bead ALWAYS! is using pure argon to blame??? I prepped and clean all surfaces... but still have small craters/burst bubbles on top?

[@thermalnose]

that is your too cold. also the gas dosent cause that, but id stick to a c25 or close to that for mig, if your doing short circ mig. also could be perosity, meaning watch your gas coverage, it should be 20ish cfm ish

[@EazArtWorks]

thank you for your generous info

[@charliepools]

sorry for the beginner question, but I'm just starting out with a 110 volt mig and was wondering why I blow holes in thinner material. not sure if it's wrong voltage setting or distance to material. or both. any pointers in regards to this issue? thank you

[@j.ms.g.3588]

That means your travel speed is way too slow. So it's kinda like you're burning right trough your material. Try moving faster with your torch

[@king_dmac3628]

when welding horizontal, is it better to go bottom to top, or top to bottom? or is both ok?

[@IJT0723]

what gun should i use for second fille which is on the bottom? i always can not get good fusion.

[@Tapage]

Awesome videos .. I'm just a beginner with a Millermatic 211 ..

[@quagmirewasere]

Here in uk we have to prep metal first or even if its a awesome weld we will fail

[@iidentityasabogbrush-jn2py]

Your vids are brilliant.

[@juankali29]

What amps did you used for horizontal.

[@CUBETechie]

Is there a difference in the way you weld MAG and MIG? You just have a different materials like the wire electrode and the shielding Gas. In MAG you have 83%CO2 and 17% Argon to MIG you use neir 100 % Argon (100%clean isn't possible but enough clean to be declared as clean Argon). I have learned from right to left as a right-hander

[@khalisanaura-k]

Very nice learning 🥰

[@kurt-reynolds]

Can I ask why doesn't increased wire speed result in a longer wire stick out. I mean, how is it that you turn down the speed, then turn up the speed, but the wire stick out always seems to be the same. Seems the wire would run out of control with an increase in speed.

[@marlonfernandez2068]

Sir wat is ur prefered setting for t joint carbon steel 5mm??? I nid that info thanks. 1.2wire

[@christianlibaton]

Do you have spray arc for tee joint?

[@Angrykat420]

How do you get your welds to lay flat? Mine roll on the edges and don’t lay flat like yours!

[@vonwynns1758]

Did u speed up the vid on the second pass?

[@Maheshyadav-vm1xt]

Very nice sir i like your trening i Love you sir

[@Zentris]

Why in school i am learning to push instead of pull, as in this video you are pulling away from the way the wire is coming out instead of going the same direction as the wiring is coming out? Like from left to right you angle gun to the right and right to left you angle gun to left.

[@danielainsworth4092]

i tried to drag my gun and my beads came out way to thin, so i started to run cursive e's. it works good, but they dont come out as straight as dragging. how can i drag and still get good sized beads?

[@SaRaSin712]

Can you do a video on 6010 uphill on a tee joint

[@FromThe3PointLine]

Nice shirt Jody!

[@lacihalasz]

I use 1.0 mm wire and 5.0 m/ min on 20.5 v ...should i change that couse my beads are not so nice

[@God-dt7om]

Great videos. Thank you

[@Alnleo86]

What gas mix do you use for inconel mig?

[@murtazzaboot]

U r d best Jody
