Thank you so much. I bought the mig 200 months ago, but finally got a table and everything else i needed. I have zero experience but i have been able to make much nicer welds after watching your video. I have never seen more experts and egos then in welding. Seems like no one has anything good to say. Everyone's out with their pitch forks. It's kinda crazy. Anyway thank you for the tips and taking your time and explaining.

I like the whip and pause you show. I have always been into shielding gas.. am TICKLED at how good Stainless Flux core works in my millermatic 140 Autoset on LOW power, very low speed, even odder its on 120v 15 amp circuit off my back deck, a 50 foot heavy duty extension cable. I was using shielded mig for mild steel but needed to change it up for the Stainless project. It really did the job on my stainless exhaust system. The cost of a 2 ft tank of shielding gas was 140 at the local welding shop.. so, I found E308LFC-O .035-Diameter Stainless Flux Core SONNLER, packaged well in a vacuum pack (ideal) and buzzed straight off the line in DCEN mode. I do a ellipsis shape real fast on the tips, but a quick wiggle/pause in the middle.. looks very much like your welds, looks great! thanks for the good walk through, and focus to safety.

Again, thanks for the video with the flux core. Also, for using the ArcCaptain. I was practicing again today on 1/8 steel with my ArcCaptain mig200 with a .030 flux core. So far for 1/8 steel, I’m getting some pretty good beads with 17.5 volts & 4.5 m/min & adjusting my inductance to the right just passing the red line a little. I’m still playing with those settings. With 3/16 using flux core, I was doing pretty good with 18.8 volts 6.2m/min & adjusting my inductance to the right just passing the red line a little doing the whip & pause technique waiting till my puddle build up before I move forward again.

Superb video, thanks! FWIW I really like the whip and pause; I'm doing my first (newbie) project with 2.5mm angle iron and 1.2mm square tube. The whip and pause works wonderfully on mitred joints and overlap joints, on the thicker stuff, but even on my lowest settings I'm getting blow through A LOT on the thin tube - I am pretty sure the metal can't tolerate the heat build up. What is working well on the 1.2mm is dragging small cursive 'c's pretty fast - in my practice sessions I've also used the same technique vertical downwards on the 1.2 and it comes out nice. For joining the thick and thin metal I'm using a letter 'u'; holding the heat in the 2.5mm at the bottom of the u, and then dashing up onto the 1.2mm and back down again - touch wood no blow through as yet.

@@ACDesignsGarage No problem! A further tip that works for me as a newbie....... I can't draw a straight line freehand even with 2 hands, and freehand my gun ends up going well off track, even on 2 inch beads. I borrowed an idea from art, where they use a stick as a support for the brush hand - I use my extended right hand (I'm a leftie) planted on the table and parallel along the line I want to weld, with the inside edge raised as high as is comfortable and I run my left hand along it. If I need more height I use a piece of 2x4 wood to rest the hand on. So even if I temporarily lose sight of my line at least I'm gonna be close. Works vertical too but you need to think a bit more about the angles. I'm late 60s and my hands and eyes aren't what they were 40 years ago, but this method gives me nice shortish welds that I can stich together.

@@ACDesignsGarage - thanks very much, ok here goes question no. 1 :-) .... My first project will be modifying a factory roll-bar off a Jeep CJ5 to fit a ‘49 CJ3a. The 5 has a longer bed and taller body so I’m thinking if I cut about 12” off the main hoop legs and rear support legs it will drop down just about perfect. So...is the $300 Flux core machine I’ve got access to going to be good enough to weld heavy flat plates on the modified roll bar so I can bolt the thing to the 3a? I think the hoop is made from mild tube steel and can’t be thicker than 3/16 walls - likely less. BTW - this isn’t for crazy off-roading, just something to add a little protection for backwoods dirt roads in case I put a wheel over the ditch and drop on my side. I wouldn’t trust my not-yet-existent welding skills to save my life rolling off a canyon pass, dramatic endo or anything. Thanks for your thoughts!

I was a fitter / welder for eighteen years and we never changed the polarity back and forth when running hardwire or fluxcored wire. The only thing we changed when running fluxcored wire was to change the gas over to carbondioxide and put a heater on your bottle before you put your regulator with neoprene washer on to keep your regulator from freezing up from the gas. The only time you change your polarity is when you run gasless fluxcored wire.

Good vid very informative, I have a Lincoln 125 and the welds never look that good, a 200 amp and up I think does a better job than the smaller machines, I have a convertible Sebring that I have been wanting to make a roll cage for would you consider making a vid on a convertible.

A auto-darkening hood is better because you don't realize it but flipping your head can over time hurt your neck. Once you buy and auto hood you'll beat yourself for not getting one before now !! 😃

Great video, Never could get my flux core to behave correctly, now I think I may just get it to do a job that I would want to show people afterwards. Was told that most of the cheap dedicated flux core welders alway leave the factory with the polarity the wrong way round. Need to check mine as it would explain quite a bit.

What's a good wire speed and voltage sitting for exhaust pipes using a 110v welding machine using flex core 0.30 welding wire ?????????
@ACDesignsGarage
7 ай бұрын
Im guessing around 14 to 15 v and around 200 to 225 ipm on the wire feed speed. Id start on the low side on some scrap then dial it in. If your machine has a chart thats a good start. Id say most exhaust is around 14ga or so. I plan on doing a video on this subject soon. Thanks for watching!!!

Can you build up broken bolts with flux core for extraction? I want to keep a welder handy for extraction - flux core seems cost effective, but does it work for bolt extraction.... what kind of settings would you use to extract say a 7mm steel bolt from an aluminium block? Do you need a particular wire type? Or is GAS the only way? Please help... I don't want to spend money on the wrong gear before I get going!
@ACDesignsGarage

Sorry for the delay, been answering a ton of comments lol, Me personally if you can afford it go with a machine with solid core and gas it will make life alot eaiser. Flux core works better if your going to be outside welding more because of the wind blowing the gass off. As for the settings maybe around 17v on the heat range, not sure right off hand on the was, if you have a auto set I would set it up for like 1/8" to 3/16" thick setting would work!!!

I know dimes are pretty, and I do whip and pause with mig, but with flux core aren't you just pushing slag back into your weld?
@ACDesignsGarage
6 ай бұрын
That could be a problem if you go to far with the whip. But as long as the puddle is still liquid I think it will be fine, we need to test it with the etch test!!!!

Just started watching your channel and I find it frustrating that you need to run the camera with one hand and use the other to do what needs to be done to get your point across. I wonder if you could set up 2 cameras so your hands are free and then switch between the two cameras somehow. Perhaps you could get a neighbor's kid to do the filming for you they would probably enjoy being your cameraman.I think you are a really nice informative person and this is written as a way hopefully to help become a better channel for you and your viewers.

Flux does better when you drag in my opinion. I use flux 80% of the time. It’s a bit messy but Pam cooking spray works as well to keep spatter from sticking all over your work and table.
