    Thank you so much. I bought the mig 200 months ago, but finally got a table and everything else i needed. I have zero experience but i have been able to make much nicer welds after watching your video. I have never seen more experts and egos then in welding. Seems like no one has anything good to say. Everyone's out with their pitch forks. It's kinda crazy. Anyway thank you for the tips and taking your time and explaining.

    Thanks brother for doing a FLUX CORE VID FOR us flux core guys that ain't never welded and are learning the right way to weld.. I think learning all the different componets especially drive roller sizes such as V ,K,U, ECT..i wasted allot of money as i ordered 5 different drive roller sizes and none of them were not I needed..........I needed the k .type.. 1.0 flex core weld but now its commin soon .. I,m glad I,m converting to FLUX CORE ,,now we wont have to buy gas, but atleast we can weld ,,Have Fun and thanks for this helpful video,,

I'm 69 and it was time to learn how to weld, I build high performance motorcycles and I'm tired of paying for welding.

I work seven days a week in my garage with my four dogs and it's still a kick in the ass! My retention isn't as good as it use to be, but if I stopped learning I would perish quickly. I'm glad to hear that you also enjoy the challenges, I couldn't imagine sitting around doing nothing. Keep learning my friend and thank you again. I'm in Nevada and still have the room out here to crash and burn, but I need that wheelie bar so I won't! Lol@@melbuilt

    Thank-you for taking one for the team and providing this UA-cam Trade School lesson on Flux-Core Mig. Also, thanks for the nozzle gel and spatter spray tips, little to no "BBs" on my table and piece. And yet another Thank-you for the aluminum heat-sink tip...I notice way fewer blow-throughs on my thin-walled tubing welds, but it might also be due to your excellent videos. Bless you Brother. I liked the "cursive eee" the best because the size of the e can be adjusted for any metal thickness. OBTW...Harbor Feight "Vulcan" nozzle fits my ArcCaptain mig gun.

    Again, thanks for the video with the flux core. Also, for using the ArcCaptain. I was practicing again today on 1/8 steel with my ArcCaptain mig200 with a .030 flux core. So far for 1/8 steel, I’m getting some pretty good beads with 17.5 volts & 4.5 m/min & adjusting my inductance to the right just passing the red line a little. I’m still playing with those settings.
    With 3/16 using flux core, I was doing pretty good with 18.8 volts 6.2m/min & adjusting my inductance to the right just passing the red line a little doing the whip & pause technique waiting till my puddle build up before I move forward again.

    I like the helmet light and have been looking for one for some time now. It would be better if it had some sort of swivel on it. In relation to the "Stacking Dimes" demo, it has been proven that stacking dimes is a weak weld unless you are doing it for art purposes.

    Good video on different techniques. The only thing I would add is the "why" of it all, especially since this is intended for those new to the trade. The whole point is to heat up as much of the base metal while you're filling with wire, because the wire puddle is already hot, but the base metal isn't. Adding the different movements is simply a way to touch as much of the base metal, which is how you accomplish the proper penetration necessary for strength. Covering the science (the "why") is just as important as the look (the "what"). Great instructions overall--very helpful!

    I like the whip and pause you show. I have always been into shielding gas.. am TICKLED at how good Stainless Flux core works in my millermatic 140 Autoset on LOW power, very low speed, even odder its on 120v 15 amp circuit off my back deck, a 50 foot heavy duty extension cable. I was using shielded mig for mild steel but needed to change it up for the Stainless project. It really did the job on my stainless exhaust system. The cost of a 2 ft tank of shielding gas was 140 at the local welding shop.. so, I found E308LFC-O .035-Diameter Stainless Flux Core SONNLER, packaged well in a vacuum pack (ideal) and buzzed straight off the line in DCEN mode. I do a ellipsis shape real fast on the tips, but a quick wiggle/pause in the middle.. looks very much like your welds, looks great! thanks for the good walk through, and focus to safety. Anti Spator... zigzag charlie brown.. hah

    Fantastic tutorial - thanks very much. Been wanting to learn to weld for years to round out my wrenching and woodworking skills so I can keep more of the restoration work I do on old cars and boats in-house. Attending a community intro class to MIG this weekend and after watching this I’ve got a much much better idea of the basics. FWIW I think the Whip and Pile looks easiest/best for me but we’ll see once I get that gun in my hand. Cheers and thanks.

      @@ACDesignsGarage - thanks very much, ok here goes question no. 1 :-) .... My first project will be modifying a factory roll-bar off a Jeep CJ5 to fit a ‘49 CJ3a. The 5 has a longer bed and taller body so I’m thinking if I cut about 12” off the main hoop legs and rear support legs it will drop down just about perfect. So...is the $300 Flux core machine I’ve got access to going to be good enough to weld heavy flat plates on the modified roll bar so I can bolt the thing to the 3a? I think the hoop is made from mild tube steel and can’t be thicker than 3/16 walls - likely less.
      BTW - this isn’t for crazy off-roading, just something to add a little protection for backwoods dirt roads in case I put a wheel over the ditch and drop on my side. I wouldn’t trust my not-yet-existent welding skills to save my life rolling off a canyon pass, dramatic endo or anything. Thanks for your thoughts!

    Whip & pause
    I have been welding for many years I self taught myself with gas, ark and mig.
    I started using flux core only because I ran out of Co2
    It’s alright but when it comes down to it I will always prefer using gas rather then flux core wire.
    Cleaner welds by far using gas.

    Superb video, thanks! FWIW I really like the whip and pause; I'm doing my first (newbie) project with 2.5mm angle iron and 1.2mm square tube. The whip and pause works wonderfully on mitred joints and overlap joints, on the thicker stuff, but even on my lowest settings I'm getting blow through A LOT on the thin tube - I am pretty sure the metal can't tolerate the heat build up. What is working well on the 1.2mm is dragging small cursive 'c's pretty fast - in my practice sessions I've also used the same technique vertical downwards on the 1.2 and it comes out nice. For joining the thick and thin metal I'm using a letter 'u'; holding the heat in the 2.5mm at the bottom of the u, and then dashing up onto the 1.2mm and back down again - touch wood no blow through as yet.

    • @ACDesignsGarage
      @ACDesignsGarage  Місяць тому

    • @tyrotrainer765
      @tyrotrainer765 Місяць тому

      ​@@ACDesignsGarage No problem! A further tip that works for me as a newbie....... I can't draw a straight line freehand even with 2 hands, and freehand my gun ends up going well off track, even on 2 inch beads. I borrowed an idea from art, where they use a stick as a support for the brush hand - I use my extended right hand (I'm a leftie) planted on the table and parallel along the line I want to weld, with the inside edge raised as high as is comfortable and I run my left hand along it. If I need more height I use a piece of 2x4 wood to rest the hand on. So even if I temporarily lose sight of my line at least I'm gonna be close. Works vertical too but you need to think a bit more about the angles. I'm late 60s and my hands and eyes aren't what they were 40 years ago, but this method gives me nice shortish welds that I can stich together.

    I was a fitter / welder for eighteen years and we never changed the polarity back and forth when running hardwire or fluxcored wire. The only thing we changed when running fluxcored wire was to change the gas over to carbondioxide and put a heater on your bottle before you put your regulator with neoprene washer on to keep your regulator from freezing up from the gas. The only time you change your polarity is when you run gasless fluxcored wire.

    I have this welder. Once you get it dialed in it good. Dont always rely on the pre sets. I've had to make a wide arrangement of setting from the auto settings. Also... when you shut it off and expect to jump right back to your welds they will not be the same settings. I think more you. Weld it changes settings. But I will say so far only welding mig and my first machine with gas.... I will take it over Flux core any day!!!

    Surprised that machine doesn't have a feed button inside the spool box.
    You rock brother!! Keep the flux core videos coming! Its becoming very popular. Do it on rocker panels. They will run, say, 14 to 18 gauge.

    I use a Lincoln 210 that during the set-up give me the range of volts which also sets my speed but also has my amps that is adjustable as well. I can independently adjust both up or down depending on heat and penitration . My machine also has metal thickness size to imput into the machine which automatically gives a range of volts and amps to run and is shown in green run zone and red on the lower and upper end of running the machine out of what the normal run heat range that should be run. I'm just learning .
