You definitely want your weld to completely penetrate to the other side. Then you can clean up your weld sanding/grinding it level to the base metal. You would need to bevel that 1/2" thick bar farther and when welding, leave a gap.
Hey, I just came across some of your video's. I like the way you produce them; very informative and clean. I wouldn't mind my youngsters watching. Sign me up for more....Thanks!
Great video and info. I am am a super new welder and learning everything from UA-cam. I have seen videos on here where the person doing a butt weld, did not stick the two pieces together but left a 1/8 inch or so gap and then filled that gap with weld and even used a spare rod as a filler. Now is that not a good way to do it? I guess much faster
There is no need to bevel or gap the thin stuff. You should get full penetration by just welding it. If your welder has enough horsepower you can gap and weld up to 1/4". 3/8 and up you should bevel all the way to other side of material- Not like video showed, or weld both sides.
@@donsmith9081 Thanks for that info, So you are saying if one is going to bevel to bevel on both sides of the material and then also weld on both sides is what I understand.
@@erwinerwin1245 I was told- If you want it to be as strong as the material thickness you need a full penetration weld. So if you are welding 3/8 material you would cut the edge to be welded 45 degrees to nothing (single bevel) then do a root a fill and a cap- you could probably get away with the root and fill only on this size material or less. Your weld will now be a full pen. If you are doing something thicker, you can bevel both sides. That can eliminate having to fill up a real tall notch by the single bevel. Yes, if you bevel both sides you have to fill them as well.

Good information. I've mostly welded very thin metal with my everlast welder.
Another Neverlast Spam.

When does the bevel angle matter? Can I use my 30 degree beveller on pretty much anything I need to weld?
Exactly what I needed, thanks.
Great video, Quick question: How about butt welding 2 pieces of solid 1" round stock? Is beveling recommended for SMAW?
Sparta I put a bevel around both pieces. About 3/16” depth. A total of 90 to 120 degree included angle (both ends together).
@@melgross OK, thank you!

@@donsmith9081 Thanks again for your valuable info. Much appreciated
Great info !!
Thank you 👍
చాలా బాగుంది
how about just leaving a gap between the 2
What about if you sleeve the tubing?
and if you dont wana bevel a steel so you have to have prity powerful welder to join peaces
Oh wao so nice explain
? So anything over a quarter inch you telling me to bevel it so it will fill in correct ok thanks .
Lol he said butt
Dope!!
Dude, wheres Mitchel Dillman.....wayyyyy more fun to watch!!
That's a chamfer not bevel
Incase you were wondering your angle job on the one piece of flat bar there wasn't uniform. That tips free next one you pay for
Cledus Snow..it's really not that important...You just wanted to hear your own voice...Think before you speak !
