I'm a functional quad and I started welding again last year. because of my disabilities its better that I drag towards myself than pushing I don't long welds I'm just doing short welds and then reposition my arms and body then continue on. I'm just doing metal art, horse shoe art and recently started building a grill. your videos have helped me get to where I am now thank you

Very well done and explained. Maybe a few more pictures of completed welds with descriptions. I just got My first welder yesterday and am excited to start doing this my self. I’m a perfectionist and am tired of relying on people that do half assed jobs. My soldering skills are among the best so I hope to translate that into welding. Thanks for the great videos.

I've not used a MIG or any welder for 18yrs and got a weld test for a job in 2hrs! Bringing it back, I do semi circles back and forth and always pull where I can. Great vids 👌🏼 👍🏼

Hi, as you use your off hand to be a prop and slide it, if it gets hot don't be afraid to grab some aluminum foil to wrap that glove with, it's an incredible change, give it a try!

I, like you, thought I was gonna learn how to free hand weld and that’s what was gonna set me apart from everyone else. My welding mentor laughed in my face and said “boy, I’ve been doing this for 50 years. That’s the only way you get the golden arm!” Boy is he right😂

The slide works wonders but sometimes on trestles you can't do that so what I do is hold with both hands mig Gauntlet left holding further up the torch tig gauntlet right holding torch then rotate hips and try anchor your right arm at your elbow so it dose not wobble everywhere its almsot as steady. :)

could get into welding without using an angle grinder? If so, What tools as an alternative could I use to cut and grind metal? Thanks!

A chop saw with a toothed blade is a great option for cutting longer material to size without leaving a large burr (I like the evolution, but there are others). Another option is a bandsaw. I did a comparison of a bunch of cutting tools on this video that might help: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zo-mvKOPjZaTq44 As far as grinding goes, I typically just use a 2"x42" belt sander. A file and deburr knife are not bad options for deburring either. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Often when I watch welding instructional videos I have difficulty distinguishing a problem the presenter has identified. In this case, toward the end of the video where Tim states that the bead is just rolled up over the top due to the arc not being at the front edge of the puddle, I cannot see what that means in the shot in the video. My untrained eye does not see anything wrong. Also, I don't really get what "rolled up over the top" (if I have that right) means.

I use .035 wire because I've found that .030 tips can be used with .035 wire, you have to twirl the new tip onto the wire to kinda hone it to perfectly fit the .035 wire, but once you do, it's perfectly fitted to the .035 wire, and works noticably better (and lasts longer) than an actual .035 tip.

@TimWelds
Жыл бұрын
Probably a combination of these things: 1. Use higher voltage, this gives a longer arc and thus spreads it out 2. Higher wire feed speed, this increases the overall amperage into the weld pool and is the primary way of adding more heat 3. Slower travel speed

Hi Tim, I think I have watched all your videos, you make learning to MIG weld so much easier to understand. What I am about to ask may be a little off subject but none the less here it is. I literally just purchased a good MIG machine that runs both gas and flux core wire and can't get the wire feed to engage and feed the wire to the gun (I mean it literally will not turn on) The machine powers up all the connections for the cables are connected securely, I have set the machine for reverse polarity (This machine has an external pigtail that makes doing this fast and easy) Everything works but the wire feed mechanism. What if anything am I missing or not doing? I guess I should mention I am retired living in Thailand and purchased the MAXNUM-300 (MAXNUM is the correct spelling) from Lazada our local Amazon.

Does it have a switch for a spool gun? If it is set on spool gun mode, the feeder won’t work. If that isn’t the issue, there is probably something wrong with the machine.

@@TimWelds I perused the manual looking for answers but didn't notice any mention of a spool gun switch. If it is noticeable on the cabinet itself, no there isn't one. I will look and read the manual again. Thank Tim.
