Just traded for one of these a couple weeks ago thanks for the video I’m about to go to the shop and try these settings now! Will you do some more videos on this machine aluminum setting, Mig , Tig and everything I really want to get the most out of it!
@@Fabguy16 Here is a quick video of my settings
@@45calshooter I’m still learning this machine
Always wanted to learn tig... only thing I havent tried... aside from maybe some exotic things I've never heard of. Idk why but brazing was always my favorite weld.
Cool, man. Good job.
Glad you liked it!
Is it aluminium or cast iron? I got a cracked lower unit mount on my Yamaha 40hp 2 stroke. I got my tig welder ready but not 100% sure what material it is. What apm is a good starting point?
Its aluminum. I run a foot pedal and adjust the power during the weld. start around 100amp. Just clean it really good. If you have problems clean the material more. ( wire brush or die grinder).
Its cast aluminum. I run a foot pedal so my amps very. I'd start at around 150-175 amps and turn down as you weld. The key to aluminum welding is. Clean the aluminum, and clean it more. I use a stainless steel wire brush and then wipe down with acetone. If you get black specks or black soot, you haven't clean the material. One more thing. the older the aluminum the harder it to weld.
@@45calshooter perfect. Thanks for answer. I will give it a try👌🏽
fantastic, thanks for sharing.....cheers from Florida, Paul
You did a great job with that repair. I likely would have used the same method. Thanks for posting.
Thanks.
You guys make it look easy. For you, I'm sure it is!
I enjoy welding aluminum. To me it is very relaxing.
Hell yeah. Nice vide!👍
I am a beginner on a 2004 Power MIG 300 (the price was right). I am setting my machine to weld steel using GMAW-P with 0.45 wire. Although you are setting up for aluminum I was able to follow and (more or less) convert info for my application. Absolutely could not have done it without your great video. Thank you.
I'm glad it helped. I did weld hard wire with it for a short time but was mostly our Aluminum mig welder. I wish I had taken more videos on this machine. It and 2 other welders were stolen from our yard. Post back or upload a video of your setup. (sub)
I have a lincoln 350mp for more than 7 years and to date I have not been able to find someone to help me set the correct parameters to weld aluminum. It is for me the worst investment I have ever made in my life. I would be very grateful if you could help me make the adjustments. to the machine to see if I can finally use it I bought it for fun no one puts a video where I really explain how to adjust it in detail I would appreciate any help
I really wish I could help you out with more information. This welder along with 2 other were stolen a few years ago when my shop was broken into. I had a love / hate relationship with it. I'd get it welding perfect, set it down. Come back 10min later and have to readjust all the setting. I'm kinda glad it was stolen. I think it was lincolns biggest fail for a welder. Make a short video of the problem and tag me. I'll let you know if I see anything that stands out.
You need your ground clamp on the drive, not the table. Current flowing through the bearings.
That is correct. This lower unit had other problems and is getting rebuilt after I finish. The owner wanted to see what it looked like before spending more money on labor to remove the gears, bearing and seals. If he didn't like what it looked like he was going to buy a new unit.
Hi I am Matts sister. I love how this gun turned out. Can you tell me more about your machine?
Its a MOPA Fiber laser. I do all the art work corel draw.
@@45calshooter do you have a link, for the laser? 50 watt? Raycus, JPT? I am looking to buy one.
@@tammyratzlaff8029 I got mine from Lit Laser, they are in Sacramento Ca. Its a smaller company that builds what you want. Its 100watt mopa laser with a CNC table, the software is a key buying point. The software is ok. I have had little hiccups/problems. I wish it was more like my CNC Mill and AutoCad Fusion360.

you two meatballs need to pack the sand with a board or hammer then push the other mold into it you wouldn't have too clean it up for casting ! duh
Do you have a video on spool gun setup for aluminum ??
No I do not. This welder and a few others were stolen shortly after this video
Do you have any parts for this welder?
no I do not
Great job. ✌🏻
Sweet
Looks Good
How did you make that metal foundry? I am very curious?
Play sand and plaster from home depot. I'd recommend that Kaowool blanket and refractory for a proper Kiln that will last for a long time.
@@45calshooter Also how did you make the center of the foundry I saw that you used a 10 quart steel bucket. Also I have a 8kg clay graphite crucible. Just wanted to get recommendations from you.
I poured small anount for the base then while it was still wet i placed a smaller plastic bucket inside and finished the pour. Keeping the smaller bucket pushed down so it wouldn't float up.
@@45calshooter what about the burner needing to be installed?
Лайк 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sand looks like petro bond... oil base
That is correct.
how bad is the Yamaha cast alloy? ive gotta do the same repair. only done cast one other time. like it will get ugly before it gets manageable right?
Most drives are ok. Its when they have electroless the problems really start popping up.
The yamaha casting is about average.
Hi great video. Need to fab new fire box for my smoker what thickness did u use. Tim Omaha Nebraska 402-618-1566
This was 1/8" thick. I thought it was a little on the thin side. but the customer wasn't sure of the design or arrangement so we made a quick box to try out and if he liked it he would build a thicker one when this one rusted out.
Great ram medal !!! I just started melting metals. Like and sub buddy.
How can I hook tig to power mig 300?
The sand ur using looks too wet
how many pounds of clay is that box?
Excellent vid!
New friend here great first cast
thanks.
THANKS! Just bought one of these on auction and needed this!
My power mig didn't like Aluminum. It would weld fine for 6 to 8 inches and then just go to hell. Hard wire different story. It would run all day long until you shut the power off and then you had to run though the setting not change them but just move up one unit and back down to the original setting you had. I really hope our welder just had a bug (it was one of the first power mig 300) The following year they changed (improved) how the cobramatic push pull gun attaches. If yours didn't come with one and you do order one check to see what connection type you have.
Nice plan, the program helps.
Grinder and paint make you the welder you aint!!!
Well, there's the 1 tough guy asshole that's got something stupid to say. Idiot
Hello, what filler do you use for Yamaha outboard aluminum? Thank you

@@45calshooter thank you !!👍👍

nah just super skin cancered hands
Are you talking Black Hills SD?
Yes this is the Black Hills in South Dakota.
Last time I was in the BH was back in 91.
I'm a big fan of copper casting!! Nice piece!!
Got a website?
It's nice there, My wife and I rode around the Black Hills back in 99. The Hills, caves, Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, can't forget Sturigus, Thunderhead Falls, Crazy horse, there was an another place where mining was going on, It was great riding through all the little towns and the roads were great for riding. O, and WY Devils tower. We staed in a small town of Wasta. lol, small.
We are south of Crazy horse by 15 miles small town by the name of Pringle.
Let the fun begin,
The damn batteries went dead. lol
buzzsah not the battery. Went into the software and looked the rpm at zero stick throttle. For some reason the 3 motors were shutting off. Once I found that. All good flew 9 packs today. 😁
First
Well the first has happened. now for the fun.
Nice recovery! Hahah!!
fightchaser Let's give the credit were it due. That's all auto level. The only thing I did was not drop the controller. 😁

Quick, and works. :)
