Welding Sheet Metal

[@VIP854]

The sound of a properly set MIG welder is so nice.

[@snowkracker]

My instructor told me it should sound like you’re frying bacon 🥓 Now every time I MIG weld I’m distracted by thoughts of a BLT.

[@Chad_N_Stacey_Hopson]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!!! All of us out here that are doing patch panels and stuff, really appreciate these!!!! especially the 20 and smaller stuff!! Thanks cub

[@everlastgenerator]

We have a few more sheet metal videos coming down the pipeline 👌

[@mrmidnight32]

Check out Eastwood. They have a ton of good automotive and body tricks and tips videos. Tons for MiG. If you like these you’ll love their. Some are a tad long wonder just a warning.

[@772777777777777]

Where are these extra sheet metal video 3 years later.....​@everlastgenerator

[@BengtRosini13]

Thank you. My welds tend to look rough, and knowing that it's okay to grind and work the metal until the result is acceptable. I keep hearing the little voice saying, Dad raised a welder, not a grinder. But until I can get perfection, I'll have to grind.

[@derLeomitmBenzer]

I played around with Tig filler wire a bit to bridge a little gap and i have to say it works like a charm. Just put a tig filler in this case 3/32 in the gap and play a little with the settings. Worked pretty good on my test pieces

[@Welddotcom]

Nice tips there Mancub 👊

[@brandonmasser5248]

I got a job and when I ran the weld test, they said the volts were set at 27V and they didn't say the wire speed. I just got out to college and i only was use to welding with 1/4 inch and 3/8 material at like 20-22 v with a wire speed from 335 .Why would they be welding at such a high temp.? I just kept blowing through as soon as i pulled the trigger. We didn't really go over thin 16 gauge sheet metal in college. This job is a piece rate so they said they run hot and fast. I still got the job, but the welds were unsatisfactory.

Can you do a part 2 video tig welding mild steel ...0.038" butt welds for autobody patch panels

[@fpvflyby6855]

So I have a question I’m doing a lap weld on 14 gauge steel on 22 0:02 gauge steel. With flux core. My welder specs show @ 110v minimum thickness is 20 gauge and I am burning through, any suggestion? Or am I spinning my wheels?

[@robertoviana514]

Great video, but no sure about holding the backing bar with the other hand. Seems like a "hot" move.

[@stephenenright8428]

Nice job mate ,just life a roof on a 814 vario 50 foot welding ahead of me on .9 to 1.8 mm steel, TK FOR the tips ,

[@marcogarcia4696]

Great video mancub

[@sarssars-hm2ox]

Yeah helps me feel better 😊

[@mikecurley2072]

Thank you for another great video. Very practical approach to a tricky problem.

[@andrewbrown1463]

Great video. Question: I’m FCAW 22ga sheet steel for a rocker panel repair. I’m a newbie. Using a Lincoln MIG welder set up for FCAW and 0.035” wire. To prevent blow through I have lowest voltage setting (A). Should I also have the slowest wire feed speed?

[@midnighttutor]

Great video. I have that same Suhner die grinder. What kind of grinding wheels are you using on that roloc? Thank you.

[@772777777777777]

Love to see a video on tig welding.038 galvanized sheet metal for autobody patch panels.. please incude the prep and cleaning process... for butt welding and filling burn threws

[@772777777777777]

I have a mts 252 , can you do a video... how set up mts252 adjust volts oe adjust the wire speed... new to mig welding...having issues setting up this mts252 Volts vs wire speed vs amps etc...in mig mode vs sygenic mod...

[@772777777777777]

Need more video on sheet metal and mig and tig setting how to adjust mts welders

[@PandaOnSkis]

I came here for tips and tricks but now I realize I just need to be more patient

[@daiiahi3403]

Also, the length of the wire coming out of the nozzle makes a differnce?

[@jshauer8272]

Thank you, this was so helpful!!!

[@everlastgenerator]

Very welcome JS

[@adnanoldisgold9599]

I want to spot weld the iron piece but it's one side is covered with cloth, so what should I do for it

[@TSIXGaming]

how about galvanised sheet is stick better than mig cuz of flux?

[@TSIXGaming]

or are those sheets galvanised?

[@KakarotoInvento11028]

Hola, de que material es la barra que pones atrás?

[@donaldbaker6961]

Huge help thank you 😊

[@djchino]

What are your settings for the gas?

Can you do a video on mts 252 welder using tig with a copper backup magntic clamp repairing blow threw... using dc tig and pulse tig... please

[@bruced1429]

Great video Man Cub, recently I had to fix a trailer with some broken side supports, they were 16 gauge , I decided to fix with 1/8 angle which did work and I spot welded then ran full beads on top. It is a pain to get nice welds that work. I was wondering if you could do a video on welding thin sheet to thicker sheet as many times we have to do repairs that require welding thick to thin to make something stronger than it was when it came in for repair. thanks

[@everlastgenerator]

We can do that

[@quickshot4050]

Hey Bruce, I saw your comment and in case you were still wondering, what I do, is when you’re welding with the mig gun, focus your gun towards the thicker metal then quickly drag the puddle to the thinner metal and back to the thicker metal, kinda like whipping with pipe, it’s how I’ve done it and I do thin gauge welding as my job lol

[@bruced1429]

@@quickshot4050 Hay thanks for the tip, I have done as you said , problems arise with 1/8 to 14 and 16 gauge . Trying to get some penetration on the 1/8 with out melting the 16 gauge . Now on non structural builds I have been using silicone bronze mig wire 035 seems to work well but not cheap. Still working as you recommend for heavier furniture .

[@quickshot4050]

@@bruced1429 here is another tip, try turning your machine way down, but turn the wire speed way up, I can weld 24 gauge galvanized at 10 volts and 150 ipm wire speed, you need to keep your gun very close tho, as if you don’t you’ll just be popping a lot. Also don’t be afraid to turn your cfh on your argon down as well.

[@quickshot4050]

@@bruced1429 oh and lastly if you’re still having some issues, if you can turn your piece upside down and run down hill. Gun pointed up.

[@mongomay1]

How can you reduce the heat effected zone butt welding 20ga mild steel to the size of the bead and have penetration that does not warp the sheet metal?

[@772777777777777]

You need to di more video on sheet metal you did show all your settings

[@CRILIKk]

With sheetmetal you gota be careful not to warp the material , slow & steady with a damp rag to cool it down

[@everlastgenerator]

Absolutely

[@TheMoody876]

Please do the same video with tig preferably the 200dv

[@everlastgenerator]

We can do that 👍

[@hassanebourbia8108]

Thank you

[@fastylep.3240]

Man Cub, you need a 253DPI, Pulse Pulse (because it's got the double) baby! 😆

[@vitalikawuehler1286]

great video man! what welder machine are you using? can you include the link please. THANK YOU!

[@nickinnewy7567]

Mate. Great Video Aye........ I'm sick of seeing absolutely perfect welds, with perfect hospital grade clean materials, that aint always the case. This video shows you how to survive your jobs... Thanks heaps

[@everlastgenerator]

Thanks for watching

[@badbydesign8452]

How bout a video with a less advanced welder, something more of us can relate to.

[@hangngoaigiare]

Great vid. Would you made one with restaurant grease duct using 16G carbon steel.

[@Yophillips3272]

I never mess around with pulse settings or anything like that. Weld hot as you can without burning through.

[@daiiahi3403]

This is my problem...voltage and wire speed...the technique seems easy to emulate but the setting of the voltage and wire speed is my problem. I'm assuming this if flux core wire? Weld looks great!

[@tomnanos9609]

That too is my problem. I can't trust the info sheet in my MIG - the voltage is either too high or low or my speed is too fast or too slow. I'm constantly burning holes in my 18ga steel

[@daiiahi3403]

@@tomnanos9609 Thinking I just need to have more practice. Can't discount experience and practice with all different gauges of metal. The good thing is I'm having fun welding right now. Just working on having the good "frying bacon" sound!....LOL!

[@hangngoaigiare]

Please make a video about restaurant grease duct welding and assembly

[@leonardpearlman4017]

In my very limited experience, this has a lot to do with cleaning! I once got to do a tiny bit of TIG welding on the side of a deep-fryer, it was full of oil! The outside had a thick layer of fryer oil baked on to it.... Probably a miserable hour cleaning off a spot a few inches square, down to gleaming bright stainless... then maybe thirty seconds making a tiny weld.

[@a.bakker64]

Thnx Man Cub. Does the Lightning 225 have a spot/stitch timer feature?

[@everlastgenerator]

Yes it does.

[@djsuretay1]

Do you have any video’s without gas because I don’t use gas

[@everlastgenerator]

What process?

[@3ch0_17]

Ight so how do I weld metal so thin that when I set the machine to 12 amps it blows through instantly

[@rocketman702]

cool off each tack with the compressed air before you move on to the next tack....

[@taxicamel]

Starting off at 00:05 ....welding "carbon" steel. PLEASE ......if you are going say "carbon" steel, then tell us exactly what the steel is because WHEN you say "carbon" steel, that infers the carbon content is over "MILD STEEL" carbon content .....WHICH IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BEAST!!!! So this video is NOT "welding sheet metal" as the video title states. It is fixing poor welding. .

Sorry dude I’m all blue. I know someone who bought a Everlast, plasma 50 amp I wasn’t impressed couldn’t cut 1/4 “ aluminum!

Did homie just weld sheet with 22v?! Wtf lol That’s why you blew brought. I’m surprised you lasted that long.

[@DCweldingAndArt]

These tips are for the garage kids/guys that are learning...and you'd be surprised some of the silly settings noobs come up with lol pretty realistic. But yes, it's a MIRACLE he went like 2.5 - 3 inches!

[@Room_for_1_more_fruit_tree]

A welds width should technically be 2-3x material thickness.......that seems like 20-30x material thickness 😆

[@snoopyshultz]

i like how you just guessed a wire speed and went along haha my job is very secure

[@SimplyMagic123]

you still failed. @ 7:48 you can visibly see the failures. right in the middle of your piece. If you're gonna be a grinder at least do it right. and in case your wondering im ticketed in welding and sheetmetal. Tisk tisk

that's a discontinuity, my job's inspectors would reject it

[@arod84]

He’s demonstrating how to patch thin pieces not an inspection for a duty rated job. Calm down. For an amateur looking to patch up some rust spots on an old car or other non structural repair, it’s pretty solid advice and tips to get it done.
