Love to see a seasoned professional having the humility to learn from another person and ask questions. It's all too easy to say "I know it all already." Keep it up! Love the videos.

[@stackumz]

as much as this guy knows he still learned something new. I love when people look to make themselves better even if they've been doing it for years

[@highdesertbadlandinggargam2432]

You get around seasons guys that will argue and fight tooth and nail about something they’ve done and won’t even listen to a different perspective and try to understand why someone addresses something in a different manner, simply because that’s th way they be always done it and if it’s not broke why reinvent the yada yada yada. Hats off to people who mastered their trade but are open for another point of brow those are the people who further the cause and blaze mew frontiers.

[@LogicofChaos7871]

You know Bob, im glad that you are humble enough with your experience to still say you learned something. I'd love to weld with you some day. I have learned a lot, but nowhere near done. Always searching for something new.

I love your videos, but I'm thinking this one stands out above many of them. Not many people actually go over making your grinding better and more efficient. Thank you!

[@timrich6755]

Bob Moffit is an amazing person. He teaches this subject, yet plays uninitiated in these videos, never interrupting or voicing his opinion. I want and need to exhibit those qualities.

[@malandro2023]

John is the type of salesperson one gets to like: well informed, knowledgeable, enough sense of humor, lets you try out. Awesome!

[@hankbizzo5]

John is awesome, you both are.. Going to take this info to the job with me.. Thanks again for another great video!!

[@jonpardue]

This is a high value video. Been using flap wheels all this time, but just now learned how to use one to best effect. Thank you!

[@sefaucon3839]

Finally , excellent , excellent , what a great teacher , this should be showed at every beginners before welding I really like this informative one Thanks

[@lanehorton3536]

those used flap discs work really well for deburing coped pipe!

[@davedunn2124]

Hmm. I can sense Bob wanting to put they router bit back in the toolbox and grab a flapper disc. Still cool to see some new products

[@jwdickinson643]

mad respect for John who’s obviously passionate about his work, company & product!

[@loosescrewlab5379]

Thank y'all for the video! If it wasn't for weld.com, I would have never wanted to pick up welding!!

[@toolbox-gua]

Indeed educational (as always). We just grab the disk and spark it away. As of today on we should do better, pull the flap and push the grind and much more. Looking forward to your next videos in the series. As always, many thanks.

[@tRdoc21]

What a classy guy - both of 'em! Hoping to go to a training with Bob coming up and I agree with so many of the commenters here, it's great to see someone who is seasoned, experienced and 'expert' in a field, so passionate about the processes of doing things RIGHT, and yet can be humble enough to accept he has things to learn. There are always new tricks for old dogs (no offense, Bob!), but the old dog has to be willing to learn. Bob shows that he is, and I hope I can always do the same!

[@vladorlovsky6623]

Great video guys. I’ve been using my flap disks wrong this whole time. Thank you for showing the proper way of using them.

[@lestenson06]

That dude is a great teacher! Do more with him please!

[@SkillIssueShynes]

Weld.com is freaking amazing. I've learned SO much watching their videos. That said, this ad disguised as a video does have 2 great bits of advice. 1, pull a flap, push a rock 2. When flushing a weld, send the sparks directly parallel to the direction of the weld. Think of the weld as a straight line that extends off into the next room thats in a safe direction, then send the sparks in that direction.

[@victoryfirst2878]

Thanks for the education fellas, slim and round. Will use this information well. Good day.

[@dennisleadbetter7721]

There is an incredible range of new technology out there. Good we old dogs can still learn new tricks.

[@ypaulbrown]

John and Bob, what a great Demo Team....Bravo Guys......

[@matttradie1341]

Interesting. The bevel tool looked pretty slow though.

[@rdankers1138]

Matt Tradie yeah, I think I’ll stick with my lathe in the shop and my grinder on the job.

[@Catchcheese]

R Dankers, I was thinking just that, a lathe would eat all that stuff in 10 minutes tops.

[@alexeystuliy2001]

+1, i also think 45 angle isn't right for 2"pipe. Usually we bevel 70-78 degrees.

[@thisdj83]

It's more helpful to those not trying to break the bank or don't already own machinist equipment. There is a pipe mounted bevel machine that uses these type of bits to create a bevel on pipe but again, it's expensive. I think these bits are great for the helper that can't seem to make a bevel the way the welder wants. Hand him one of these and it will be very helpful.

[@davidquirk8097]

Give the guy a break, he's using the tool for the first time and feeling his way, it's going to be slow at first. A lathe is a better way as long as the part can be chucked ok but I think for field jobs this is a good idea.

[@a.bakker64]

Great move to turn to a specialist. At 15:45, this is what I ment when I commented on an earlier video by using the flapdisk ‘in the length of the weld’ or as they say here ‘parallel to’. I didn’t know about the need of pulling the flapdisk, so I’ve learned something today :) thank you!

[@peterveitch3952]

I love Pferd stuff, have for a long time. Always tip top quality compared to other brands.

Was really interesting once seeing them on youtube and stuff now where they call it "pherd"!

Do you thing the beveling tool is faster than like a industrial belt sander?

[@paulmorrey733]

Great information Thanks

[@adirondacker007]

I'd have been done bevelling and millscaling an 8' length before he got done screwing around. I use a 60 grit flap for the bevel and an electric orbital sander on a roller bench. The sander spins the piece at the correct angle.

[@איתמרששון-ק3ק]

Will it work the same on aluminum pipe???

[@sammorris1452]

Never had any idea how important being able to grind correctly was until I started welding for money. I think in trade school it should be taught correctly.
