I'd really love to see a video where you use a very cheap welder (harbor freight, bestarc, primeweld etc.) Running off a cheap generator (6kw-10kw) like a generac, or porter cable, or Honda etc) with no grid power whatsoever. I live off grid in alaska and have had trouble with welding using my 10kw and 2kw generators, trouble with bogging, voltage, amperage, etc. I'm running a primeweld 120/220 multiprocess plasma tig stick machine, mostly using 6011, and 7018 rods, usually 1/8" or 3/32" as that's what's available. The generator will bog down as soon as I strike the arc, then rev up, causing the arc to change dramatically, leading to a very difficult welding experience, any advice or best case scenario, a full video on how to correct this would be very helpful. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day
If i can get ahold of these things Ill make it happen. That is the type of power youll get off of those types of generators, its not as smooth as those welding generators, the 10kw should be able to handle that ok.. may not be the consistant arc you want however.
@@jasonburguess An inverter based welder with PFC(power factor correction) will run on a generator better than one without. It'll also draw a lot less current. Right now, PFC is only in the premium brands such as Miller, ESAB etc.
Nice stuff buddy, you outta use a combination of a small welder and a 6000 watt range generator or set for the subs and for the people that are wondering what generator watt can be used, thanks man keep them videos going!! 👨🏭👩🏭Weld on!!!
Love the videos. I would like to see you do one on the amperage drop as you get farther from the machine. Right now at work, I am running off of an engine drive that is positioned about 200 feet from where I am welding, it is actually positioned between two of us who are welding at the same time. I am running 1/8 7018 @ 155 amps just to get decent beads that tie into each other without cold rolling on the toes.
Great video, how about newer welding helmet settings ? I would like to see shade settings ,delay ,sensitivity, 5-9 9-13 , when to apply each settings, 🙃
i have been struggling with an aerospace test for a while now. .030" 321 stainless t joint in a jig. coupons are 4"x5". zero suck back allowed and full root penatration/fusion
As a general rule I run my 1/8" 7018 at 145 to 150 amps. One of the best ways to Guage your settings is to run your rod until it is about 3 inches long and when you lift your hood the last bit of rod should be cherry red and bend with light pressure when you push the rod with your finger.

9:30 can run 5/32 7024 jet rod at 55amp's AC, it's slow and works good for building tall abrasion faces. 14 inch single hand arc control expectations is to run it for intended use. only need 40amp to run 5/32 6010, base metal thickness 18 gauge, fills faster then any mig could or ever would.
Don't weld as hot as you can !!!! you need to minimize the heat afictive zone . Follow your weld procedure peramaders . the more heat , more distortion , pull , and cracking if not properly cooled down . stress is Number one enemy in heavy metal welding . Always get a weld procedure and follow it !!!!!! pre heat , post heat , out side temp , rate of travel,volts amps , type of filler metal and much more are all in your procedures . when your weld dosen't fail , and the weld inspector says , where's your procedure ? U say , right here , and inspection will say" don't get rid of this welder he or she is GOOD" !!! I welded from a broken heart to the the crack of dawn , around the corner and back . I lisened to all the old great ones and thats what they told me !!!!! PROCEDURES !!!! THEY WILL SAVE YOUR BUTT AND JOB !!!! YOUR OLD BUDDY BOILERMAKER / IRON WORKER / PIPEFITTER / WELD INSPECTOR JOHNNY
Can you go over D1.1 allowances for FCAW-G weld specs? What would an inspector fail on visual? What would pass? Specifically, a print calling out a 3/16" leg, but someone putting down a 1/2" leg?
i got 2 yards of strut towers seams of 18 gauge to E6010 Texas Tig back together with 5/32 E6010... 70 inches of 18 gauge tig with a rod that says 130amp, 5/32 E6010 runs low as 40amp on AC, 40amp AC is the average voltage the peak of the sine wave is actually 75amp to 80amp. at so 90amp is 165amp and 70amp peak is 130amp. only has to sputter 30hz is the key sound.
How about going through the videos and do some about the different types of welding, with references to the previous videos. Like, beginner stick, intermediate stick. The differences not just in the rods, but also the materials being welded. MiG and Tig also. Then there is the differences between machines. How to set the proper way even if it is analog and has no digital readout. I can think of hundreds of videos I would love to see, and several dozen of your videos that were very helpful. The videos you have done in NY, out west, down in Texas, and even the Roller Coaster repair were great because they showed real world applications. A combination of more of those videos added to some process videos with in depth video references to previous videos, would come in real handy. That’s just my opinion, and we all know what options are like.
Thanks for the feedback, I think we have some videos in the bank and coming up for shooting that appeal to what youd like to see. Its hard to stay consistant with that type of content, planning takes alot of time. Youve noticed more videos in my shop, because thats whats planned lol, we have more trips coming up for some real world applications. More advanced techniques are coming too. -Austin
Had a second semester student come tell me the lower the better, while I somewhat agree as you can sit and watch the puddle longer seeing you explain has opened my eyes as to why I couldn’t get that bastard to arc.
Quick question: how much time do you spend on setting everything up vs actually welding? I feel like I spend maybe 5% of the time laying beads. Most of the time, I'm figuring out how to hold everything in place, cleaning off rust, etc.
There are a lot of great resources online and usually inside your machine for settings but we also have the WELD app which has a calculator to help you with settings
@@_hector__ not everyone! There are lots of newbies wanting to get started also. There are lots of welding channels out there that offer very advanced content
When the welder is so good that he can't even fuck it up on purpose to make a point lol. Good video, thanks.
As a beginning welder this is very helpful
Same here
Excellent!

I have used a Weldpro tig 200 and an esab rogue 180 on a 7,000 watt Dewalt generator for 4-5 years. I have not had any problems.
This is a great content idea I would definitely be interested in watching a video like that with detailed arc shots and evaluation of beads

Great video! Great presentation! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent! Im starting stick at the local college and this really helps. Thank you.
Good luck!
You’re an excellent welder. Your bad welds look better than my good welds.
I always use the range on the miller app, start in the middle of that range and fine tune off of that
I like to stay on the high end of those ranges personally.
Can you do a video where you show your techniques while stick welding?
Everyone's posting their good stuff👏😂
Always good info. Thanks
Any time! -Austin

The farther away and longer your leads are you are going to have a drop in amperage but we will see about making a video measuring it

I feel like I spend maybe 5% of the time laying beads. Most of the time, I'm figuring out how to hold everything in place, cleaning off rust, etc.
I always say welding is 1/3 of the job. Planning , set up, and prep are the rest.
How about some 6010 downhill pipe roots?
CAAAN do good buddy
Ow you did in the video 😂
Please make more advanced stick welding videos. Much more advanced. The purpose of welding is typically joining TWO pieces together, is it not?
What's your opinion on the buzz box tombstone welders?
theyre decent! their is a reason theyre still around!
Could you give me some ways to improve my 7018 overhead t joints? I use 1/8 rods.

How to figure amperage/and or feed speed with stick and MiG when fusing two different thickness of metals????
There are a lot of great resources online and usually inside your machine for settings but we also have the WELD app which has a calculator to help you with settings
When 2 different thicknesses remember to make your weld bead as thick as the thinner metal piece.

Woah bros!
Biggest difference between 6010 & 6011? Is it penetration?
That is a big one but they still run a little different because of the chemical composition of the flux

so you'd ask me that question.

For the life of me still don't understand why the helmets are looking like this now. It's seems so pointless vs a full face cover
