How To Spot Weld Using Gasless Welding | Flux Core Welding Tips And Tricks

[@StalkerGamingHU]

We've just bought a machine with my dad,so i think im gonna binge watch your vids before i burn even bigger holes in my rusty car. Very easy to understand and follow, straight to the point, man you are a godsend. Thank you!

[@StalkerGamingHU]

Maybe one thing that would be a nice addition is a lens for the camera so we can see the puddle. Im not entirely new to welding, i got a bit of experience with TIG from a previous job, but that was a few years ago.

You’ve delivered a LOT of teaching very casually in such a brief welding video , Thank You.

[@NightWrencher]

Thank you! I hope it really helps!

[@blastys]

Thank you! 2 years later and this is still an excellent video. the tips here are definitely helpful. I appreciate it.

[@NightWrencher]

Thats awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@apatterson8128]

Your flux core welding videos are awesome. Many beginners such as myself start with flux core because we can use the machine right out of the box. It's great for a hobbyist or DIYer. Thank you for your time, NightWrencher.

[@NightWrencher]

Exactly right, thank you!

[@superdragon9293]

Love your style of teaching...nice and smooth.

[@personanongrata4419]

Thanks for these videos. There’s not a ton of FC content so yours is welcome to this beginner.

[@NightWrencher]

Much appreciated! Theres more to come, keep an eye out!

[@mrb2843]

I bought a gasless machine recently as I plan to weld 3/4 inch 14sgw square tube this weekend to build a frame for a table to sit my cnc. Great info, thanks.

[@NightWrencher]

That should be a piece of cake 👌

[@treadandtracks]

Awesome vid and tips thanks! I'm going to have to spot weld new floor pans in my f body. This will help.

[@NightWrencher]

Hope it helps! I've got a new video on sheet metal if you havnt seen it!

[@superdragon9293]

Whoaa Bro. you just hit it rite on the head im doin a quarter panel job on a mustang (both sides) and im gonna be over lapping my welds on it...this will be my second auto sheet metal job (i have always did exhaust systems) but i want to be that go to guy for auto welding in my area... did the floor pans last week they turned out great ...so good the owner insist i do the quarter panels .....and you have gave me what i need to know to ace this job...Thanx Man.

[@Colonelcheeser]

That must be some magical sheet metal because I turn my welder to the lowest settings and as soon as I touch the side of the sheet metal with the welding tip, it instantly burns through

[@PhunkyChikin]

I have the same problem. Try minimum stickout and keep the tip close to the metal

[@Colonelcheeser]

@ thank you!

[@MikeCraigSLP]

Thanks for all the videos. I've been learning to hobby weld. Started with smaw and just bought a flux core machine. Your videos have been great!

[@NightWrencher]

Thank you! There will be more to come!

Great video straight to the point,i have learned so much in so little time,you are the best thank you sir

[@lionelmoodley3238]

Thank you for the great video. Its been very helpful especially for hobbyists who cannot easily access shielding gas. Will practice before starting on my project.

Your show and tell was the most effective I've seen... And very simple to digest. So Good, I'm going to suggest you do day work as well! LOL I have to replace an upper Radiator Support in my old maxima (accident) I just have to figure out which side to drill out the spot welds superficially so I can use the metal in the support as the base you weld to and build up. Or is it easier to drill both through?

[@mehere3013]

this is informative for me since im going to.weld 2 spot welds

[@rogerdodger5415]

You are awesome Bruh. I’m still very much a newbie at welding… and this was super helpful. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ✌️✌️✌️✌️

Love your training videos NightWrencher! You make it easy to understand. Thank you!!!

Good video....always had an issue with welding sheet metal....will try the technique soon to patch a metal wheel barrow that has some rust holes.

Great vids! Dodge truck bed quarter panels, do you recommend the flange type tool (CENTRAL PNEUMATIC Air Punch/Flange Tool) to prep for lap weld to get a better finish instead of just putting it behind original panel? So much controversy out there between lap and butt welds. I just started welding just to fix these body panels and want my best shot at a nice finish. Thanks!

[@NightWrencher]

Hey man, I have the same tool, works really well for thin gauge sheet metal but anything thicker than 20ga and it struggles to put a bend in it. For body work its really a toss up between the 2 processes. The issue is that you dont have access to the back of the panel where dirt and debris get trapped with a lap weld. The issue with a butt weld is that the area becomes a hard spot and shaping a welded bead becomes difficult. Ive had the easiest time with lap welds personally. Whether its a flanged lap weld or just a piece of sheet metal held from behind, never had an issue.

[@richardjohnson2913]

Another highly informative video, awesome! 👍👍👍

[@bryancose3753]

Great videos, simple to understand. May I ask what guage wire are you using? I am a beginner welder and its difficult to not burn through. I was using .030, then went to .035 and I am gonna try .045 next. When welding body panels we have no heat sink behind it like your table. Settings are all the way down and I try to move quickly. Thanks Night Wrencher

[@NightWrencher]

For sheet metal, the thinner wire is best because it takes less heat to get it to start flow. Body panels usually need to be tacked in place in a criss cross pattern to prevent warping. You dont need to run beads across sheet metal. Just keep going around the panel and adjust the gaps as nessesary until its welded all the way around

[@summoner9924]

okay.... this guy means well, butclearly isnt a pro(in the video i mean, his reply here is pretty good). thin metal, needs a thinner wire, ypure going in a hotter and larger weld puddle direction, by increasing wire diameter. try 0.023 or something under .030 size, itll work better than the 35 or 45. get the thickest piece of steel ypu can find/buy, half inch plate if possible, as a table/heat sink, the heatsink realllllly helps. you probably wont be able to do continuous welds, bit a couple seconds spot/ plug weld shoulpd work. get a wire brush and clean the area before ypu weld, for each 'stitch' down the joint ypure welding this way, it must be CLEAN, no paint, rust, sometimes even mill scale (the grey/black coating over the bare steel. thats oxidation, and contaminates the weld, and makes it spatter much more. lookup 'weldingtipsandtricks.com' that guy is a professional of decades of experience. get some nice 1/4" stuff to start learning on aheet metal is very unforgiving, it burns theough before a beginner can react really. good luck mate i love welding and hope it works out for you!

[@neburion102978]

Im goin to spot weld my 240z floors tomorrow this is goin to help ... thanks for the tips

[@NightWrencher]

Good luck man! I have a new video on welding sheet metal too if you need mote help

[@meca13b]

Good work ! What welder did you use ? Liked and subbed ✔️

[@johnscrivy]

Good video

[@NightWrencher]

Thank you sir!

[@MrStand4Christ1]

He da goat...

[@cJhudanich]

Wondering what wire speed your set at?

[@NightWrencher]

You want to back off as much as you can without it interfering with the weld. On my machine it was about 95ipm.

[@elmarvlog4624]

Friend please help thank you

[@NightWrencher]

With what?

[@MrBoomtheroom]

what is the best approach for welding small things ie.. something like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYm7m3mtbsybeqc

[@1839365]

Great info thank you, but what is it about Americans and the phrase "we're gonna go ahead and...". It's like a weird habit!

[@NightWrencher]

Its not a habbit, I'll break it down for you. "We're"- you(the viewer) and I "gonna go and..."- going to continue to the next task which is... etc. If the word is the complaint of the word gonna. Its no different from using the words "innit" from british english, "amos" in spanish, "ничё" in russian, etc.

[@shanemack06]

great video. no shitty, condenscending attitude. just the facts.

I appreciate it bud 👍
