I've been welding for over 40 years and still learn more every time I watch Peter.

[@ZILAwelds]

Thanks!

The solid wire was 030 the flux cored wire was 035. Everything else was spot on ! Nice explanation, EXCELLENT video!!!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

certainly appreciate all your efforts in showing me the equipment, how to set it up and the difference procedures. i look forward to a long and cooperative friendship.

[@elcajoia619]

He has the most overachiever underappreciated welding channels on KZbin!

[@ydocproductions5593]

What an awesome video J.C.! Peter is such a great teacher and you can tell he really cares about his trade, and wants to pass on his knowledge to others. Pretty slick the welder can switch between setting just by pulling the trigger. Not only is that convenient, but I’d imagine a huge time saver as well. Looking forward to the frame splice video. Take care👍

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr JC That was awesome they sent a rep out to show their equipment. Thanks for sharing, and stay safe.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i certainly appreciated the offer. he was a wealth ok knowledge.

[@jimanderson4495]

J.C. ….. thanks what a channel. I really appreciate your attention to detail AND quality. I’m on a J.C. marathon.

[@scubasteve7946]

Awesome work and that's a great session of training. I am glad that our salesman told us up front- with the extra intensity and radiation from the pulse welder, absolutely no welding in a T-shirt anymore. Mandatory welding jacket to help shield out that light better from your skin. Those pulse machines are no joke!!

[@geoffmorgan6059]

Absolutely, and then there is aluminum. The reflective heat will fry you. If I remember we used to have different shaded lenses for aluminum.

[@L.A.Concrete]

Knowledge is the key to the universe. It’s pretty cool that he came out and spent some time showing you how to use the machine and new techniques

[@billclisham8668]

That was VERY educational to say the least. I was amazed at how little splatter there was with the flux core by adding the shielding gas.

[@alkennedy1124]

The biggest thing with mig is a highly clean surface both sides are nice and shiny clean ,,, thanks BigAl California spray arc is a beast ,,, good job camera lady , it is a beautiful thing to have a lady helping in these vlogs ,,, by you doing that helps all of us single me get hope back,,, that we find a lady such as you to help me in my shop , thanks BigAl California thanks J.C. Smith thanks BigAl California.

[@curtismoncus4118]

I really liked how the spray weld filled the wide area flatter with less grinding

[@mikescaffo4850]

Nice watching men like these teach us how it's done

[@morgansword]

I can see a whole pile of saved metal pieces that when you get done practicing, It will be a solid lump of scrap iron they can't break at the scrap yard....... what a great experience JC.. I hope they let you keep the machine a good while so you can make the call on whether to buy or not as I am sure its not a cheap machine

[@andrewrobinson2869]

WOW what a machine sure does beat my gas-less machine. Never seen pulse welding before , that’s awesome . We need one of these machines here in Australia .

[@Ezrider359]

that is a really cool feature to be able to change between settings with a tap of the trigger. very interesting.

[@ShainAndrews]

Glad you had this opportunity. Get yourself one of those small notepads that farmers always had in their brest pocket. Keep notes on settings for a given process. When you move into machines with this many settings it's easy to get lost. You just need some anchor points to know where to start from. Leave the notepad inside the welder.

[@dakotamcclure6165]

Seems like a really nice welder. I glad you got that opportunity you deserve it for all that you do for others

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Hey JC , it was fun for me hearing about the welding knowledge of today. Some things he was saying I remembered from my own experiences in welding school. But it has been over 45 years ago for me. The information you we’re getting was amazing.Thank you for sharing! Regards Bob Lee

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day JC,, Absolutely brilliant video, this is one of the most entertaining informative & professional welding videos I've ever seen. The welding unit itself is quite a machine ,I was sure impressed with the performance of the equipment. Ultimately,,the most pleasing elements ,were to see two highly intelligent men working together. I'm busting to see the next vid .. Bring it on JC. Respect ....!

[@mchl8]

Very nice vid this doesn't happen often all of your vids are good . But this one takes the cake. Nice job , this is moving America.

[@eddiepatterson5025]

I’ve never seen welding technology like this before and it’s amazing how it’s changed. Those machines are a game changer. This was a awesome video to have those people reach out to you and a rep a good teacher. You did well JC and for a rep to say you’re a welder that means a lot and you are a very good welder. Looking forward to seeing the next video. May you and your wife have a Blessed One Sir.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

It was a very good day. learned lots and got to know a true professional welder. built a great relationship with peter as well as usawelds.com. i look forward to using this equipment and the procedures peter has taught me.

[@bendover-uf9st]

Try taping a piece of leather or cloth on the back of that hood. Helps with that annoying glare when the hood is down. If you tend to weld alot get another hood. Those are too heavy on your neck. Also headgear ratchet gear wears out and tends to fall down in the up position.

[@billlangdon9198]

Some awesome welding tips . No pun intended. The machine helps a lot also. Thanks for letting us learn some with you.

[@garyyorke1080]

Just sat and watched the little run on the truck frame stretch . Ending on this one . I'm very impressed with the mans skills more in the teaching than the doing . Looking forwards to seeing how the truck comes out and how you improve on your welding . And don't worry I know a fair few guys who say they can weld but in reality they can at best glue metals to each other not very well I might add .. thanks for sharing this video in particular.

[@79Jasper042610]

A lot of people just call that gas shielded fluxcore dual shield. Puts down a lot of weld quick and hot. Sure, still should prep the metal, but it will burn through a lot of stuff. Same for the spray arc.

[@bryonhectorwelding]

1 thing I want to mention. Long welds like that liner I would start center weld about 6 to 10 inches, then back step alternating sides of the center weld. Above all frame material is normally higher strength and should be preheated 125 but not over 300, and slow cool rate with blankets. It will produce high strength high ductile weld joint.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Very weld done, Sirs!

[@douglassmith7515]

Great job. Nice to see company's work with you.

[@keeganpock864]

[@dirkkelly9596]

Most excellent fun JC,I’m sure you got a little welding over load from Peter. I assure you that your much more welder than you think. it’s a field that you never have to worry about knowing it all but you can know as much as you desire.thanks for sharing and keep having fun 👍👍

Man I do like these machines. We have a HTP plasma cutter at work and I just love it, I'm getting ready to purchase one for at home use they are a little pricey but worth it. Thanks for sharing

i used it to cut the frame for the splice. i had to do some light flap disc work and its ready.

[@greggb1416]

Well sir, I am 59yrs young, and the last time I laid a weld down was junior high shop, and it was a stick welder., but I could watch, for hours, this “Peter” gentleman (and you) doing this type of work. Excellent video, Thank you sir.

Peter is a wealth of information ,I was looking into the htp 220 pro and the pro pulse 300 great machines!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the 300 might be making its way into my shop.

[@LifeWithChase]

Enjoyed the video, I was afraid you were going to have some warpage, I might would have tack welded some strong backs on and cut them loose after. Even then I would have been concerned, I've seen large I beams and 1" plate warped! but overall I think they came out very well! Trying to control warping and heat input is half the battle on something like that. A trick to help draw it back is to heat The opposite side with a rosebud or large tip and let it cool. The metal expands when heated but contracts more than it expands when it cools...

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i braced and clamped the other one past flat so that when the weld pulled, it would end up flat. between that and only doing 6" at a time, it seemed to work well.30

[@LifeWithChase]

@@j.c.smithprojects Good deal. Now that you know how much the weld draws, the next set will be easy!

[@t1259sw]

Now the questions, did you buy them? Very cool video.

[@sixtoes2313]

Do they have Bluetooth ear plugs telling you what setting (Job) the gun is on ?? What a cool welder.

[@ZILAwelds]

The machine beeps ( ones, twice or three times) corresponding to which job it is in. Not sure if the camera picked it up but its is audible when standing in the shop

[@matthewGual]

Try 95/5. 95 argon & 5 oxygen spray arc really digs. Let’s you get a lot more out of the machine.

[@ZILAwelds]

On that particular machine in this particular program 95ar 5o2 is about 1.3 or 1.4 volt too hot. The program is made for 90ar 10co2 Also some schools of thought and some textbooks start to go away from using welding gas with oxygen in it … something about grain structure and premature weld failures 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
