If you can fix someone else’s problem you’re,looked at as someone who can be relied,on when needed. So being asked to do that is a sign of their confidence, once you’ve done it a couple of,times.
This is what places need to really be teaching a lot more of because it will come up a lot in the industry and they may ask you to fix it and it might not even be something you worked on but they want it done. Rework is something that the industry needs to teach more. A lot of welders dont know how to fix stuff when shit hits the fan. And if they do, they make it worse.
good vid - Bob should be proud.... i haven't done much with plasma because my welds don't fail but always cheaper to learn from someone else's mistakes
done my share of oxy gouging,carbon-arc,even exothermic. My favorite is plasma. My home shop Hypertherm 1250 80 amp is 96% of the time gouging. I prefer cutting ferritic with a torch,gouging with plasma. You can stretch that arc out and get in there!
When you are welding the 6010 at the end you say “I could’ve wet it out a little bit more” does that mean your puddle could’ve been a little bigger and you don’t think you got as good penetration as you had hoped for?
Been there , done that . Probably will again next time I need to stick some metal together , because I don't weld full time . I have found it easier to get back to NOT making bubblegum and boogers over the years , but , it can take me a full day even now to do it .
How deep can you gouge with a plasma? I have a Forney P45 Pro, and it clean cuts 7/8". I have an exothermic that I use to blow stuck pins out, but it's way too much to do most gouging with. I wouldn't even want to use it indoors because of all the fire it throws...lol
if you're good with a torch it can be - probably a faster setup in an industrial setting too because you find oxy/ace rigs everywhere compared to a plasma setup - usually 10:1 or higher in the plants i've worked in
Things you use to weld today have distanced themselves miles apart being they are cheaper yet way more efficient machines. To bad they are not made in america only.

My favorite tool in the shop is the Hypertherm plasma. I haven't touched a torch , or an arc gouger in two years.
Yeah man Plasma is really nice in the shop! -Austin
1250 / 65 / 105 here, just tried the gouge feature on a 1/2" salvage job< love it
I am always interested on repairing stuff and I don't mind cleaning someone else's mess. That was a good fix. Interesting video, enjoyed watching.👍👍
Thanks for watching!
That makes one of us! haha im not a fan of cleaning up after someone else. but has to happen!

Congrats on 1 million subscribers! Love the channel.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos
thanks a million! -Austin

We will gladly fail for ya and show you how to fix it
Theres a first for everything -Austin
Excellent video brother
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!! -Austin
I call plasma gouging the magic eraser. You definitely need to practice
Practice makes better
I used to do gouging in the 60s and 70s with my arc welder

Your bad welds looks awfully similar to my decent welds
🤣😂🤣
I had literally just thought that!
Been there , done that .

@@kaboom4679 Would you say your rig settings are the biggest obstacle to a good weld?
Probably just personal preference, but I'd pick the air arc any day. Just what I'm used to maybe.
Is The Lincoln sprinter better than the Esab 180?
Dont the holes on the swirl ring go down towards the tip not into the gun?
😮 now you double the bid
Absolutely!!! 👍

When gouging you just need to dial in your amperage to not gouge too deep along with your work angle
QUESTION: Changing / reducing the amperage is only one part of the equation, What PSI are you running the air pressure at?
All of it! lol it was around 90psi
People seem to forget about Oxy acetylene gouging
A great option for doing this on site.
Much faster and cheaper to use an oxy/acetylene rig with a scarfing tip ?
if you're good with a torch it can be - probably a faster setup in an industrial setting too because you find oxy/ace rigs everywhere compared to a plasma setup - usually 10:1 or higher in the plants i've worked in
"I've used this process worked fantastic but it is expensive for the tips
Yeah always want to do your best to take care of those consumable
Clean air and right consumables will help mitigate that.
👍🏻😊
the arc gouger is much better you can actually see where the inclusions are
i prefer arc gouger myself -Austin
The look on my face when I realized that I'm Buddy😢
Now you have a new way to fix it lol

"I've never done this before" does not qualify as expert advice.
