I played around with inductance a little while back on my everlast welder. Once I found the sweet spot in the settings I love it. It really does give you another tool in the tool box. Jody explained it really, really well. It is exactly as he explained it.
I've been playing with the inductance setting of my friend's PowerMTS 250S welder since watching this welder. It's a great feature. One of your best videos yet.
Just bought a BOC smootharc 180 mig , ( Im not a boilys arsehole ) the manual is more directed towards someone with a welding background and all the you tube vids all seem to have machines with 2 dials for wire and amps . I watched your vid " this one " and afew blocks in my head fell into place and gave me alot / still minimal understanding which was greatly appreciated cheers bloke .
inductance, or pinch effect in lincoln electric welders, puddles the weld longer, and produces less spatter, it is like running more heat anyway, so if you are going to change your inductance, try it before you mess with your heat settings.
Your audio quality used to be much better, but your videos are informative as ever ! I have a very old mig welder that is probably from the 80s and it has a massive variable transformer in it, I always wondered what the inductance setting did but didn't want to mess with it but now I know ! btw have you seen that experimental HDR "augmented reality" welding hood ? They are getting images that combine normal light and arc light, it's really impressive !
I had to google for "faq-what-does-inductance-do" to get additional understanding of what it does. Sounds like high inductance plus perhaps a little extra current would give a more continuous weld heat and less splatter.
Thx. A question about voltage. Why does increasing voltage lengthen the arc? If you keep the contact tip to work distance the same and increase the voltage only does the arc length increase because the tip of the wire melts off before contacting the work place as it does in globular or spray transfer? Would just like to be clear about this. Thx Jodie. Your videos are very helpful for me as a relative newbie welder
Thanks, good explanation, easy to understand and great demo. I want to ask if the frequency goes from 50 hertz to 60 maxed out? (I'm in Australia, hence the 50 hertz) Or is it more like 50 to 100?
great vid as always Jody, but i have a request, could you do a vid on VW cases? i know you have written a lot and talked about welding magnesium, but the cases aren't pure magnesium. the most used ones (engine code AS41) are 4% aluminium and 1% Sillicone, rest magnesium. i'm going to do a rep job on a case in near future and i'm kinda worried about putting it on fire etc
Thanks for the explanation and demonstration. On my machine the setting goes from -50 to +50, but I suppose that's the same. (I'm a complete novice 8) )
I am trying to teach myself to stick weld, with the aid of your videos and a couple other youtubers and I am wondering what rods I should use to learn with. 6010, 6013 or 7014. I am trying to avoid 7018 due to the need of an oven. Okay people of the internetz, what do you recommend learning on?
i have a problem i have Bought well swapped a Clarke 150TE for a Mahe MIG-SY210 with a inverter but my inductance goes from -9 to 9 so im a bit lost anyone have a idea
Gary Clagett pretty much yes. A lot of machines, particularly multi process machines, will have arc force adjustment instead of inductance of pinch affect. Works the same way. Best thing you can do is just get some scrap and tinker to find what works best for you.
galvanized metal always spatters, the zinc coating is what causes it, and CO2 gas isnt really the best, which is part of the problem, the most universal gases I would run would start at 75/25 or 90/10 argon to Co2 mixtures, the more argon, the hotter the weld. Co2 isnt rated for much in penetration, so you might need to bump up the gas.
I've stumbled here from the year 2020, searching for answers to the weird settings on my welder and as usual, Jodie has come through with the goods.
Helping others improve their craft. Jody gets what should be done in life. We all benefit from people like him. Thanks, Jody!

How is you BOC smootharc 180 mig going? I need a mig welder and I am considering it.

Time to get out the everlast welder and play with the settings. This was a great video
This guy is the man. He helped me learn the 6g without having to pay for bullshit secrets from old timers that can"t weld but talk a good game.
Thanks so much for sharing these videos! I'm excited to start schooling t learn welding and watching these videos get me super pumped to learn!! :-D
How’s that weld life for ya?
I think inductance is one of the least understand feature one a welding machine probably with frequency!
Nice vid!

Great video, answered my question perfectly. Thank you!!

Thanks, great information. I have a Thermal Arc 211i Fabricator and this video is a very helpfull for me.
Does inductance settings also work on FACW Flux core, and stick welding too?
Thx. A question about voltage. Why does increasing voltage lengthen the arc? If you keep the contact tip to work distance the same and increase the voltage only does the arc length increase because the tip of the wire melts off before contacting the work place as it does in globular or spray transfer?

The arc length increases because when you only increase the voltage you are effectively reducing the wire speed (proportional to the voltage) .

Keep it up Jody. Tig fingers rock brother!!!
Great video Jody! Keep them coming!!

Does inductance change the voltage or amp? Actually what does inductance change in the machine in electrical terms?
Inductance affects the rate-of-change of current
I Always enjoy your videos!
hello I'm having a problem understanding slope an how it works an what it does?thanks
Thanks for the explanation and demonstration. On my machine the setting goes from -50 to +50, but I suppose that's the same. (I'm a complete novice 8) )
Nice video as always Jody! Do you have any TIG-projects coming up? Best regards J

How are you filming the welding process?
Thanks for the demo always informative!
Plez make pipe welding videos with stick welding uphill and down. Thank u
Where do you live?
Looks like it flows more like fcaw on high inductance
you are the best man !!!
Only 9 dislikes, BUT who dislike the legends video?!😡
Great info!
Well, that explains my Eastwood's arc characteristics. Very low inductance.
Also I only have the option of AC on my welder.
Very interesting great tips :)
Is inductance the same as. “Arc force” ?
Gary Clagett pretty much yes. A lot of machines, particularly multi process machines, will have arc force adjustment instead of inductance of pinch affect. Works the same way. Best thing you can do is just get some scrap and tinker to find what works best for you.
Thanks again.....

hi
Awesome vid as always! Your arc shots are the best, its like welding fetish porn! Keep it up mang!
nice :)
What's up with the last two videos the sound of your voice is a little squirrely.
Like liker likest :-) great video again, thanks Jody!!
Get the dvds then you can show off in your class and teach some stuff to the teacher
It only lets me hit like once
inductance=dynamics?
