Bodywork Suzuki Samurai with the ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200

In this video I use the ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200 to weld some body panels that Mark fabricated for his Suzuki Samauri. I welded panels with .030 solid MIG wire and 75/25 mixed shield gas. The ARCCAPTAIN MIG 200 was ran on 240V AC off of my Trailblazer 302 on the Super Service Truck.

CB, I know "you're the man" when it comes to welding, but I prefer .023" solid wire for body work because it imparts less heat to the panel. For butt-welding 18-gauge panels together, I use minimum voltage and a slow-ish wire feed rate. For welding 16 gauge to 18 gauge (e.g., doing floor pans) I use the next-to-minimum voltage and the same slow wire feed rate. I have found there is too much risk of warping the panel when using .030" wire. .030" wire carries 1.7 times as much heat to the weld as .023" wire does.

[@JonDingle]

And burn through, 100% agree with threst of your comment. The cost of 023 wire is more because it is so thin. Here in the UK, a 15kg reel (34lbs approx) is about £70 ($100) approximately for good quality wire.

[@NBSWELDING]

I don't get the metal hotter with .030....if anything your putting more heat into it with .023
Use whatever works best for ya I'm just sharing my own personal experiences best I can

[@michaelbigelow367]

I agree CB it's been my experience that the slightly larger wire will take up some of that heat but everyone has there own experiences and I respect that and love hearing them.

C.B., pretty work on that old vehicle ! Thank you for that information. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

Thanks for the video CB

[@NBSWELDING]

No problem 👍

[@MARKWILLIAMS-tm4rf]

Not only is CB a knowledgeable welder who KNOWS welding of all sorts but also how bout the good neighbor thing! I aint much of a mig welder ...was schooled for stick welding in 86. he will load up his gear and head out to someone who needs help where as for me being the "neighborhood welder" is about where I wheel my cart maybe a couple doors away....but help is help!

[@NBSWELDING]

Right on

[@motoz3939]

If you like 023 for body work just order the rollers different folks different strokes. Doesn’t really sound as big a deal as you made it to.

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

And that resolves the wire issue how?

[@motoz3939]

@@Failure_Is_An_Option what issue? If you like to use 023 wire for body order the rollers or make sure you have them. Then use 023. That arc captain site says it will weld 023 wire.

[@JonDingle]

Are the feed rollers in USA only one size then? Here in the UK our feed rollers have two sizes on them.

[@NBSWELDING]

Thanks for watching and commenting...I personally have no use for MIG wire smaller than .030 for anything

.025 "wire for Body panels. 030" runs a little Too Hot , for thin sheet metal!

[@NBSWELDING]

I don't think there is anything hotter about .030 I much prefer it....023 wire is obsolete if you ask me

Great video! One criticism about the arc captain mig 200. The stinger broke after a few uses. It was still better than the Amazon replacement stinger which lasted 5 minutes before it literally broke in half in my hand. Keep the videos coming CB! They are awesome!

[@NBSWELDING]

I've beat my ARCCAPTAIN stinger to death and almost caught it in fire but it still works
Really should probably go to a welding supply store and upgrade the leads, ground, and stinger completely....but I want to see how long it takes the original stuff to fail first

Man its so sad to see what all the damn salt does to every vehicle up here in the saltbelt! I hate it so much! I also think this guy should watch & learn what you're doing and get to it himself seeing the condition of this vehicle and all the rust on it still. Hes gonna be doing alot of welding to replace all this body cancer on that thing!⚡👨🏻‍🏭👍🏻🦺⚠️🛠️
