Paul, your great!. Always enjoy your calm, easy to understand instructions.

[@miltongwelch2707]

My first mig welder was an everlast welder. Best investment I ever made and I still use it regularly.

[@OysterPir8]

would love to hear how you put it to regular use.

[@HERodriguezJr]

Love the video. I just wish he spoke about the different brands of wire and compare their differences.

[@AlexKiritz]

Brands don’t necessarily mean anything.

[@jule123ize]

lol i know right

[@kylesyx8432]

Cool , thanks for the info
I’ve welded before, many years ago. I feel like I’m starting over and don’t know where to start w wire selection! 👍✌️imma give it a try

[@timothylloyd2408]

Is paul RETURNING? It,s been a long time and he is a nice informative guy. I keep looking for his posts but all appear 3 years old.

[@summersoldier3311]

I always like to review mig welding information with you, thanks.

[@frigginpos]

Enjoyed the video and learned from it. Thank you kindly.

[@variuswalker2975]

Thanks that was very helpful!

[@ypaulbrown]

Love watching you videos Mr Paul, cheers , Paul from Florida

[@hotheadzmarine]

Silicone pools... always wondered and never asked.. Thank you. Enjoyed, looking forward to seeing more.

[@ypaulbrown]

Silicon pools, not silicone which is a rubbery plastic type material...

[@bargeutube]

You are a very good teacher indeed. However like most Americans you forget that UA-cam is a universal platform and more people on the planet use metric than imperial (even the UK!) It would add a lot to the usefulness of your videos if you could include metric equivalents of wire sizes etc.

[@zerubbabelsbridge]

Hey,
We figure it out. You can too.

[@Oldvet1946]

Great info.
I had been wondering about that.
There are many choices in wire.
Mike

[@thedeerhunter4407]

great video

[@vladorlovsky6623]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you very much.

[@jmjaxson]

Love your weld table!

[@elijahjohnson1184]

Nice welder and great video. I've always wanted to learn how to mig weld.

[@mytube3687]

Thank you for nice information, useful will help as to select MiG flux wire.🙏

[@jimsomers7182]

I'll take the liberty to correct a small but important error. First, I like it that he used the expression "mild steel". The reason it is referred to as "mild" steel is that it does not have enough carbon in it for "through hardening". It can be case hardened, but not through hardened. However, the tensile strength of mild steel is 53,000 to 60,000 lbs per square inch of cross sectional area, depending on the particular mill run, not 35,000 lbs. per square inch. He may have gotten it mixed up with cast iron. This info is easily found in a Google search of better yet "Machinery's Handbook".

[@thedillestpickle]

Hey thanks, I was thinking about 50 and then he said 35. Good to know.

[@garywestin6907]

I am thinking about getting that welder. I use Lincoln wire whenever I can.

[@lewisdrake5765]

Very nice little welder. Thanks for the video.

[@kawshalyakarunaratne9172]

thank you !

[@danielmartinez-cj5di]

I really like that welder. I need a compact welder like that.

[@robotech1990]

Great video .Cheers from Chile

[@2002adeabraham]

Why did you turn off the light when you were welding

[@BigHayes7771]

I just bought that welder it's a good buy

[@danielmartinez-cj5di]

I've been thinking about buying that everlast welder for portable flux core use in the field.

[@donraabe3529]

Do you still get a lot of splatter with that wire. I'm using flux core now and want to get away from that mess. Great video by the way

[@Welddotcom]

Don Raabe make sure you are changing the polarity when you go from MIG to FCAW.

[@donraabe3529]

Weld.com
Yep

[@keeganmcmanus8323]

Weld.com can you please elaborate on what processes are supposed to be DC negative or positive and AC?

[@paulhead]

Paul you're awesome, learned a lot, thanx

[@2002adeabraham]

Thank for such a great presentation about Mig Wires. I bought the ER70S-6 and it didn't work well on my piece of metal, so I was wondering what you could recommend to use on angle carbon steel. Thank you so much for your anticipated response

[@raynellmoore68w]

If what you have is standard a36 mild steel angle then the wire you have is what you need. What size wire, machine settings, and thickness of material?

[@houseoquinnizyodaddy]

How do you like your Everest welder? I've been looking at buying one for around the house and for the money they have a ton of features.

[@keeganmcmanus8323]

Thank you!

[@MotoKingWOT]

@5:01 listen to the sound, your welder is studdering pretty bad. It is either your settings or something else is off.

[@unkwm128]

thanks Paul, good presentation

[@CarlosTorres-ow9qr]

What’s the not so expensive mig that’s good for around the house jobs .

[@dc85337]

This is 6 years old - how about and update??

[@dukkavenkatarao5472]

[@Mcook156]

[@justinboswell4512]
