7018 Uphill & arc force

[@DeadliestFX420]

This guy taught me more about welding than my welding instructor.

[@sharp937]

I prefer jody than mr tig but then again I prefer smaw over gtaw

[@monteezeharris3453]

Frfr tho

[@arna9623]

This guy help me everything about aluminium haha

[@weswagner4093]

yeah same..

[@howardw.griffin862]

Am in class watching this asy teacher is on his phone lmao

[@davidbaker308]

I am a 20 year LA City certified welder and a CWI and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the proper terms and procedures that you are teaching every one with your videos. I am always pushing the welders on my jobs to subscribe to your channel. And even with the amount of time I have in the trade I am forever learning from your wisdom or remembering tricks I have forgot. Keep up the great work.

[@Federicodesalta]

Hola recurro a tu experiencia, estoy tratando de practicar para rendir en posicion 3 f, me cuesta que tenga penetracion estoy soldando con 7018 a 115 amp

[@ahmedeensaeed991]

Yes, he is very thorough

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

Jodi, I've watched countless YT welding videos and also done quite a bit on reading on the subject, but that's honestly the first time I've ever heard anyone actually describe Arc Force in not only a concise and technical way, but in a way that's easy to understand and MAKES SENSE! Thank you sir!

[@wadepatton2433]

Primeweld has it on their 325TIG now, but there's zero in the manual about it. I'm here to see what Jody says.

[@RyanBlumhagen]

I’ve been welding for 18 years that I can remember and I’m still learning from you. You simply just make sense! Wish you would have been my teacher!

[@CarlosMorales-jd5hb]

Thank you Jody the Jedi, your videos help change not just welding practices but peoples lives for the better.

[@muhammadmuneebarslan2926]

Finally, I've gone through almost every video on youtube on the subject of Arc Force and at the end of each video I was not only disappointed but also frustrated. Then I found your video and boom, everything I needed to know about this feature was here (how, what, why, when). I've bought an inverter machine and am teaching myself and this video gave me hope when I couldn't understand the Arc settings and almost gave up (haven't touched the stinger in 2 days), low on arc force won't let me strike an ark at all, hight on arc force and I burn through 2mm thick practice piece with 6013. Thankyou so very much for the video.

[@stanleykinzinger]

Jody is so professional with his presentations and work, respect.

[@MikeSmith-sm4zz]

I’ve been stick welding 30 years, thought I new it all!! Thanks for your help

[@marcotte6608]

Ive been welding for 10 years now and i still come to learn from Jody.

[@careyrose6059]

Hey Jody! This comment isn't really related to this video. I figured maybe you'd be watching comments in a more recent video so I'm hoping you see this. I went to a job interview today advertised for a TIG/fabricator. I have TIG welded but not in the last 10 years. Twice that for MIG and then only structural aluminum with a spool gun. I sent my resume with a cover letter saying I haven't done TIG in a long time, but when I did I was pretty good at it. ( Braze welding also. They always seemed similar to me.) The reply said "If you can TIG a corner on 20Ga stainless, we'd love to talk to you.' 20ga? Stainless? @#$%^! I almost chickened out right there. I've been a deep sea diver for most of my adult life. 20 years in the Navy, 20 as a commercial diver. I was initially trained as a ship fitter (Hull Tech) which covered welding, always 7018, 6011 in real life on most things. But after dive school, I was a diver not a ship fitter and welding was as needed when something broke or needed to be made. On the commercial side my first job was welding a couple hundred 200lbs sacrificial anodes to a port seawall for cathodic protection. Used 6013 wrapped in electrical tape. Or 7014 if it was clean metal. Rutile flux is better down under. Has to do with the gas and quick puddle quench in the water. Traps hydrogen if you try much manipulation. I was pretty good at that too. My last dive job was doing the same thing with 1,325 of those anodes. 6-7 hours a day welding. Shallow (

[@alfredoreyes3543]

Wow great story got a weld test soon and it always fills lile its my first time and i just hope i don't mess up

[@dsavage8751]

I wanted to be a commercial diver too, I’m 16, diving really interested me, I’m also a very good welder. I’m not sure if I still want to be a diver, I don’t know if it’s worth it or not.

[@Pottyde]

Your videos are gold and I keep being amazed that such amount of informative quality is free...

[@tonystark7639]

I never stop learning from Jodi. I will definitely be using the arc force settings on my Everlast with confidence now.

[@richiemcdevitt861]

You’ve helped me pass every welding test so far, thank you teacher

[@harisyoung4110]

i wish i see this video earlier.. it improves my welding drastically after following your tips on closer arc length..

[@zeke1eod]

Sir, you are extremely humble! It always amazes me when you say not the best weld and I need more practice words of a true master of his art. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, God bless

[@melbrooks5816]

Another great video that all of us non-welders can learn from and actually understand. Top work Jody

[@joshuaheathcock7571]

You are the man Jodi! I hope I spelled your name right. Your tips and tricks have helped me more than my own Instructor has in college. I will keep watching and learning from you Sir. God bless

[@proudbugowner]

Yet another great educational treat! Thanks Jody. Let me tell you that in welding suppies stores here in Greece if I ask where to learn how to weld, the response is "Go to the welding school in the capital city, or watch weldingtipsandtricks videos." ? How cool is that.

[@Aint1S]

That's a small world... Pretty wild! 👍🏼

[@robingibson7503]

You're the best!!! Thank you so much for your detailed instructions. I'll never be a pro but I want to do a good job for my own projects and for friends as well.

[@gearheadaddict7183]

Yup you da man.. 🔥💪🏻 taught me and thousands of people the tips and tricks of welding stick mig and tig. You are a great teacher and mad respect to you. Btw I have been buying stuff from weldmongers for years now.. keep doing videos.. the greatest metal melting videos on KZbin ... we all love it.. take it easy my friend and hold a tight arc 💯💪🏻🔥

[@lSAMV31l]

Thank you for these videos..im starting my second year ironworker apprenticeship in sept. and its going to be welding. Ive spent some time in the booths and i can do some really decent flat welds. Ive started going vertical and im here to get as much knowledge as possible. These videos are a huge help for me to understand what im doing.. You used the term "scrub" i was telling someone i noticed when i feel a slight scrape it works great for me and the qaulity of my weld. 👍

[@jimmydickson8854]

A few good pointers iv learned quite a bit thankyou I’m just a novist ,if I’m going to do a bit welding I would rather do it right don’t want it to break so I appreciate your tutorial nothing like learning from a pro .old jimmy

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks Jody! It’s like you read my mind with this content. Soon i’ll be padding vertical beads for practice

[@MisterGroovey]

This video has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! Thank you!

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Really enjoy your stick welding videos, I have to do a little welding on farm equipment from time to time and your videos are very helpful! Thank you!

[@kennetht66]

I'm only wishing I had one of those new welders. I still have the welder I learned on (Airco) 59 years ago love your show

[@110welding]

I appreciate your videos, so much information in your videos. Thank you .

[@Etol1963]

I have found that 'even with stick' getting rid of the millscale makes so much difference in controlling undercut and the appearance of the weld.

[@NKG416]

please do a tutorial about sheet metal welding with 6013

[@satriowicaksono6238]

Thank you very much, sir, I understand the correct way of welding, greetings from Indonesia🇲🇨

[@kmcwhq]

Hello Jody, Back when I was in Vocational school in 1976 we had uncoated electrode we practiced with. They called it "Coat hanger Rod", and it was a challenge to weld with. We had to practice with it for the first 2 weeks, after that we were allowed to use 6011 which seemed like a Cadillac compared to an Edsel. It would be interesting if you could get ahold of some of that electrode and see what you can do with it. IF they still even make it.

[@tommcdaniel4900]

Never understood the term of "dig" and it's function. Thanks for a quick explanation. Keep up the informative vids.

[@TomMayhi8]

Definitely very helpful. I’m a little ahead of my class so I can work on some other stuff and possibly get a qualification if I pass a 7018 verticale up test

[@kbent88]

I love your videos so much. I've been watching for a while. I only do automated orbital welding for tubing, but I'm fascinated with welding in general.

[@Prettynoise]

For me this tutorial was all about proper arc length. As a beginner I had a tendency to have too much arc length.

[@yasirspacex]

God blees you ... You are a real teacher ... From iraq i thanks you ...

[@JSuparman]

Great examples you did Sir. Most your MMA work results very fine, looked like You did them using TIG ways!

[@OttoDeCalumnias]

There are so many gifted coders, electronics engineers and developers out there, and you could envision a MIC under the helmet that responds to: "Set 110" / "Plus Five" / "Minus 10", "Slope down" ETC-etc. - And transmit it to the Welding equipment via Bluetooth or {whatever}. Voice recognition is everywhere nowadays. You can get an Alexa Echo Dot for $40.-. That device is by mega-dimensions more sophisticated than a blunt fingertip AMP control which they sell for way beyond USD100.- (Which is obscene ^^). Should be easy for people working in the right industry.

[@ManCrafting]

Another informative video. I haven't done much stick welding, but next time I do I'll be back to refresh.

[@amacca995]

You make uphill look so easy. Very informative. I would have thought 90 degrees would create a wormhole?

[@calvinlopez190]

“Theirs a podcast on Spotify 🫡 🔥” Man I can’t believe I watched some of your videos along time ago when I was green. Just picked up on your podcast a month ago now I’m in 2017ish podcast on your favorite helmets. Thanks for all your knowledge. I bought a engine driven welder last week and getting back into for side work haven’t done stick in a while and couldn’t figure out why I could weld every position except up hill my angle was 45 degrees off….. Thanks again.

[@paulbisceglia6824]

Thank God for you. How is undercut done? I know you mentioned it, but I don't quite understand. Thank you

[@AlessioSangalli]

Hey Jody I wish you did more TIG videos! 4130 chromoly for example

[@Loren.C]

Great video. Finally know what the dig function does. Thank you

[@andrewhanson5942]

Nice looking weld there buddy! Is the technique any different when using a 6013 electrode? (I weld a lot of rusty metal.)

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

I’d love to see you do a video on dual shielded flux cored 1/16th wire (I don’t think you have). That’s what I use at work. Would be nice to hear some tips on how to produce neat looking welds with that thick diameter wire. It does make a difference. Does feel much different than 0.35/0.45 IMO.

[@ЮрийКорытник]

Выложите видео как Вы варите электродами Фокс и Ассаб интересно посмотреть

[@MiguelHernandez-rl2vv]

You could make a video where the position of the weld is 3F diagonal almost overhead with 7018 un 1/8 greetings from Ecatepec México

[@wakefieldyorkshire]

So when doing a vertical uphilll weld restart , am i supposed to remove all the existing slag before resuming the weld, before striking the new rod. I don't think Jodie does, so it would be good to know..

[@johndunn9819]

I would like to see your take using a sa200, ie: settings, voltage, amperage. Hi amp-low voltage vs low amp hi voltage. Cold stacks vs hot etc. I've learned so much from your videos but have only found your shop welder videos.

[@tomherd4179]

Thought I would pass this on for what it is worth. I have a MIG Miller 211 Auto-Set machine which has a dial showing 10-100 for the wire speeds. Most videos typically tell the IPM values, etc. I contacted Miller which responded with an estimate of 65 ipm for each "10" on the dial, so 20 = 130 roughly, etc. Perhaps if you wanted Lincoln may tell you what the Hot-Start numbers represent.

[@WV591]

one of the best on tube.

[@jaysen2200]

Always takes me a few welds to get back in the grove when I pull out the ol' smaw

[@tonyuseche2316]

Thanks so much Jody. God bless you for the assestment.

[@raymondquave1237]

I noticed you did not remove the Flux on the 7018 on the second pass or did you

[@tw9676]

Love the shirt in the intro

[@hicksdp]

Great content! How do you decide when it is time to change from a fillet weld to a groove weld? Is it based only on thickness of the metal?

[@rvalcourtpersonaca]

I was always told and told others that you had to chip off the slag on the previous bead before doing a restart. I noticed here that you didn’t clean the slag for your restarts. Was it not necessary to chip the welds all these years?

[@markman63]

Richard Valcourt I was wondering about that too. I always remove the slag before restarting

[@matsgranqvist9928]

Depends, in my experience you're fine if you get a quick restart. Atleast on horizontal, flat and vertical up. Vertical down I always chip

[@jimloewe7893]

the video stops and starts. I believe he chips nearly all of them but slag on 7018 is heavy and often leaves bare metal for about 10mm at the end of a vert up.

[@mh2739]

Jody, I was wondering if you can talk about the electrical hook up for your welders? What size breaker and wiring size.

[@alessandro519]

Nice video! Is possible to weld over the slag without issues? Thanks

[@ubernate860]

My man you are amazing. Thank you so very much

[@forhadulislam5018]

Wow beautiful welding sir

[@dushyantkaushik5703]

Me aapka bahut bada fan hu sir

[@Guhnr]

Will the root pass pass a bend test?

[@carlsnow2342]

excellent video learning more on every video i watch thanks

[@marcotte6608]

The hot start is the same on miller big blue 400s. I just know im always stick welding and turn it all the way up. Usually i run full dig with 7018 when im in good positions. Im in an elevator shaft now welding behind in very tight uncomfortable positions, base materials galvanised on galvanised.. my length of is extremely variable so i found turning the dig to all the way "soft" gives me a lot of tolerance

[@tobrydeleon9889]

Great video! Can you please do a video on uphill with 309 electrodes stainless. Ive been having trouble with that

[@CACTUSKIING28]

Awesome video

[@tyrelle4232]

Hey, is it that you dont have to clean the 1st pass and you can just weld over it cause it looks like thats what he did?

[@stuartmacleod7287]

Hey Jodie. I’m doing 5GR any chance of a Video if that to get some tips. 10mm thick 4’ pipe. I have a leg of a wind farm on one side and it’s an anode I’m welding on. Thanks.

[@TheScottishCorsaBGuy]

what arc force setting would you recommend for 6g pipe welding on the fill with stringer beads on sch 120 pipe? rods are 8016-G

[@michaelhale4041]

Now this is a great help for me thank you. Love the videos.

[@samyfajard2906]

from colombia very good tutorial ,thank s

[@derickkuetezachee1080]

Thank you father.

[@carlboucher2643]

yeah a lot of codes on structural welding the rod has to be at a certain temperature also that's why they make Rod ovens

[@sgtstudda7873]

OK so I’m in welding school and I’m doing uphill and if I go that slow it just drips and looks horrible and I’ve tried so Many different things to make it work and it seems like can’t get it to look good or pretty just drips and looks horrible I’m getting really frustrated

[@445supermag]

Please do a test of different dig settings, especially vertical up and for different rods (6011 vs. 7018) I've got an old sycrowave I use for arc and never know where to set dig.

[@williamrenfro6029]

I am having a hard time finding a comfortable position for vertical welding. Any suggestions?

[@elijahtaylor8351]

I've always wondered what the arc force setting on my everlast welder was.

[@christopherbeyer2631]

Hi Jody what do you think about Furick cups and gas diffusers? Some welders on youtube say it a night and day difference, and that they will make an okay welder look like a great welder? I was told a #12 Furick cup is good for all around welding? I own the stubby gas lens kit I bought through your website and use those on everything I weld. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the great youtube videos.

[@1123581321fivonaci]

Thank you, I'm from Mexico

[@eltonherrera7524]

Love watching your videos man, I learn a lot good tips... At work we do a lot structure welding, welding to soldier piles, that have cables that are being held by chairs that we set and are under pressure and so we use a lot of 4mm 7018 rods and depending what we do we lower or increase the amps. You see, I always do a root pass and than my capping when welding vertically, but some of my co-workers they crank up the amps to 165amps and they do one pass and it looks amazing, I struggle at 165 but at 150,155 amps I do much better, but my welds come out decent. I have my days but some days, up hill, sometimes I can't control my pool and end up having to stop cause half way through my rod im creating a big crater that's about to blow through. Could you please do some videos with 4mm rods up hill and show us some of your techniques.

[@paulenespika9119]

The problem I have with running 7018 in a vertical up fillet is the tiny bit of arc blow that I get when I reach the top of the end of the weld. Below that point, the weld is near perfect. Any suggestions?

[@jakegingrich7214]

what size of weld was that first finished weld?

[@scottburrous2375]

Reminds me of my X-ray days in the late 70s using 8018 and 11018, 3/32 and 1/8 with a little 3/16 building submarines. Course we had an inter pass temp to work within. I then moved on to X-ray horizontal sub arc, much faster, and only about 100# a night because of inter pass temp. Primitive tools by today's standards

[@jojomama4787]

Good information!But is it possible you could make a similar video using stainless stick?Thanks

[@MrMrWrench]

Another great video. Good reference. Thanks.

[@b3ardedragon921]

Hey Jody when are you gonna turn it up 5 more amps?

[@danielsantiagoacostatafur2229]

Excelentes videos, por favor podrían ponerlo subtitulado en español, muchas gracias

[@ARP07501]

Another great video.. especially on arc length..

[@jamessonger3]

Another banger here!! Love these videos! 100% self taught from this channel. One thing i did notice, on that second pass at the 2:30 mark you finished the first rod then went straight in to the second without knocking off the slag... is that okay on restarts or you did that just because you were practicing/the second rod will burn out the slag when you go over it?? Thanks again Jody!!!

[@Etol1963]

With vertical up the slag will drop due to gravity. When you get straigt in with the new rod when everything is still good and hot the little bit of slag in the endcrater of the previous rod will float to the top. The same goes for stacking beads horizontal. You can use the slag from the previous bead to support the rod on the next bead. That little bit of slag in the toe of the previous bead just burns out and flows to the top. When on a test it's better to be safe and clean the slag after every rod but if done right it shouldn't be a problem on vertical up and horizontal.

[@jamessonger3]

thanks!

[@sccolbert]

I have trouble distinguishing between the metal puddle and the slag when I'm welding uphill. I'll see the slag puddling and dripping off and think it's the weld pool when it's not, and then vice versa. Any tips for how to recognize what I'm looking at?

[@TheBlkac1]

The molten metal will alway chase the puddle. That how I distinguish between the two. Try keeping your eys, on the leading edge of the puddle, and watch your arc length....

[@Federicodesalta]

No encuentro video donde despues de la primer pasada pongan la pieza en una prensa hidraulica y la separen para ver la penetracion de soldadura. Esa es la prueba que salio bien. Desde el principio

[@daver681]

Jody, I weld with A/C stick and flux core wire and I have a good auto darkening shield but I have a hard time seeing, any ideas, Thanks, Dave

[@ZrubekFamily]

Go with the lightest shade you can that doesn't' leave you seeing stars. I used to use an 8 for sheet metal mig welding.

[@KingHalbatorix]

Dave R get a cheater lens, or maybe try local exhaust for the stick welding at least. I know with some electrodes I just cannot see through the plume unless I've got a fan blowing or an exhaust hood near me, *especially* in overhead

[@ardennielsen3761]

is the video shown in the video of welding... is it slowed down? because the old welder i use burns sticks a lot faster then what is shown, but then i weld everything on max power.

[@joerodi7754]

When you keep a tight arc do you drag it are weave it
