Took some welding classes, decades ago, started back in for repair work on farm. Your tips are great, using 6011 with a DC machine. Need a lot of practice. Thanks for the videos.
On some days, I think welding hates me, so l'm always looking for more ideas thank you, I started a little late, at 68, 1 year ago, got some nice things done though like always trying something new, my brand new steel. roof just another notch, Oh and even learned keyboard, by air, in the. same span. love the 11s but 13s on some days fair on others pure murder. have a great one , hope you're still on.
used 6011 all my life 65 yr old farm boy went to welding school at age 50, instructor ask if anyone in class could weld, raised my hand and was called out on it, welded two perfectly prepped plates with my choice of 6011 instructor watched, put them in a press and broke them, said it ain't pretty but it damn sure holds, was the teacher's aide for the entire year........something to be said for practical and using what's on hand
I'm doing the same thing you described with the circles running 1/8" 7018s on 1/4" steel making the firebox for my reverse draft smoker. It works great. I really like your videos and your workmanship, Allen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Another great video! I usually do the whip and pause with 6010 or 6011. That circular motion seems to work really well. Now I have to try it. Thanks for the video!!
I ran a Hobart 6011 3/32 and the arch was very violent to where I was about to blow thru a 3/8 inch plate or melt it. The rod also turned black and had a flame coming off it. It burns fast too.
Luv your channel, just a couple of questions. Why do you use your oxy-acetelne for cutting when you have a plasma cutter? And whystick weld when you have might? I'm asking because I am setting myself up to start welding projects. Cheers
You should know how to run a torch before you ever have plasma, a lot of fab shops only have a torch so you have to know how to run it, same with stick welding, I dont run stick much because might is a lot faster for me
Hi, if possible, could you write the external dimensions of the BBq you are making in this video? It's a nice idea for a new little welding project. Thanks and keep posting videos, they are well made. And greetings from Italy. SARTo
6011 is an AC rod regardless. The difference in the rods you have is lincoln made the fleetweld 180 series of 6011 specifically for low open circuit machines. The ac225 will just about run any rod, besides a 6010. The lincoln ac-225 has an open circuit voltage of 79, ive seen some machines that only had open circuit voltage of 42-48, and they would only run the lincoln fleetweld 180 series of 6011. Anyway thanks for the video allen 😊
@@jeromesuggs8330 Really? If so, this is a damn good tip/idea! I’ve finally broke down today actually and ordered a plastic rod holding tube.. wish I would have thought of/seen this earlier! Lol. Will still try it out though! Can never have too much storage space. Especially being out of wood, you could attach it to a workbench or whatever. Not to mention.. “finish” it up to maybe make it blend in, or just to look better perhaps, if that’s important to you.. either way.. exceptional! Apologies, for writing a whole book’s worth of shit in one comment! *EDIT:: Just noticed this is 3 years old, lolll... sorry!
We all know that the 6011 in the 6013 or good penetrating rods look like you had a about an eighth of an inch or less too well that and that should give you that should have given you great penetration I like your program I guess I'm wondering you always use a MIG why did what made you go to the arc welder
6013 rod would do that job nicely with way less splatter and would have a smoother bead with easy slag removal. 6011 rods are a very aggressive fast freeze deep penetrating rod that is good for dirty rusty metal . I guess you knew all this but just in case you didn't and keep up the good impressive work.
Thanks man, beautiful long steady beads. Appreciate the good info on the rod types and how to use them. Great vids, keep them coming and thanks for sharing the knowledge. Best regards, Dave.
I have a lot of problems with 7018s well, no it doesn't matter the brand name. With gaps like you have there I would have put a small round rod down the length of the gap or maybe helped fill the gap with a second rod being held in my left hand and being meltdown as I go long. My AC welder is like yours, never used DC rods, think I will try it. Thanks
I use 6011 on thin materials, usually i pull out my lincoln weld pak 140 wire welder, but if i know i will surpass the duty cycle on that machine, i pull them 6011 outs and burn
I love them little grills there sir, I'm in the process of putting together a fire pit outta 3/16 plate, with 6011 , I tried 7018 and couldn't get it to run worth of s#@%!! I didn't try running it uphill , only downhill, maybe it'd make a difference, if I'd of tried horizontal instead!! I know Jody , over at Welding Tips & Tricks , can get just about any rod to run any direction, but I guess that's where experience comes into play!! Anyway, keep up the awesome vids, I've learned a bunch from watching them!!👍🙂
Yea, I dont use that machine much anymore but I wish it would've been DC, i had about 300 lbs 6013 rods that wouldnt run on ac and they just sat there forever
No offence...there is no such thing as a 6011 dc rod. Secondly you have no idea of how a 6011 or 6010 rod should be manipulated. This video was a coarse on how not to weld.
You are a moron. You have no clue what you are talking about. He's using an AC machine and using Lincoln 6011 AC specific rods.. The DC rods hes talking about are the normal 6011 rods.
The BBQ Jerk either way he is right. ALL 6011 rods are made for AC/DC. The dc polarity variant is 6011. Only difference is they added calcium/potassium to the flux to make it AC friendly. Therefore, you my friend, are a moron. And even if they do sell 6011 ac or dc only rods it's just a gimmick. Maybe you should do some research into your electrodes.
6011 is the AC version of 6010! They are both fast freeze rods good for root passes. They both have cellulose (paper) based flux. 6010 is sodium based and 6011 is potassium based flux. The potassium is used to maintain the arc and keep it "lit" as the current osscilates through the sign wave and would essentially go out every time you based the "0" on the AC sign wave. The fact of the matter is that Allen is still an excellent welder whatever process he is using!
Thanks John! Everyone knows that and can take their own risks, but we are super grateful for the Internet Inspectors always trolling through videos, waiting for the opportunity to pounce on anyone who might be doing something wrong. How long have you been graduated from TH-cam University?

good job explaining how each one works. looks like the little grills are keeping you busy. keep up the great videos

Getting alot of inspiration lately from this channel. Thanks Allen, you do excellent work.

Excellent work! Definitely love 6011 myself, probably my favorite rod. The Hobart ones run especially well.
tired some 6011 the other day, i like, but not the easiest rod to get a hold off down under
A bit of disturbed in the background🤣.
Love your work
I ran a Hobart 6011 3/32 and the arch was very violent to where I was about to blow thru a 3/8 inch plate or melt it. The rod also turned black and had a flame coming off it. It burns fast too.
So true the first time I used a twisted steel grinder attachment and one of them wires hit me in the face wow gonna make a man out of you quick
Great welds .loved using 6012 but they no longer make them smoother weld with less clean up.
Nice looking 6011 runs bud!
Great music in the background love it

Classic Work its it's an improvement for sure!!keep the videos coming.
hey allen, i was a weldor building locomotives 6011 was the rod we used on 80; percent of locomotives
Got that same Ryobi grinder. Love the thing. I like how the handle turns. Have dewalt one I don't like as much
You, Sir... Are a welding GOD!!! YOU ROCK, BRO!!!
Great job. Thanks for the tips. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the way you "keep it real".
Real world welding at it's finest!

Anyway thanks for the video allen 😊
7016 isn't available on Amazon, so I'll use 6011 instead for heavy plate.
Allen do you ever do an Flux core arch welding? I tend to use it as my backup mainly because I do not have a good storage place for rods right now.
Build a plywood box big enough to put the rods and a simple light bulb in it. The light bulb (75 watt or so) will create enough heat to keep rods dry.

Keep on burning rods brother 🤙🏾
Im binge watching. Love the videos
Thanks for the video. I haven't welded with powerarc in a few months. Looks like its about time to get some practice in.
what gauge metal is the grill made out of. reason being don.t want to burn through Allen. thanks much in advance really enjoy your no nonsense video,s

It's been a few years since I've stick welded and probably a bit longer than that since I've used 6011 on my everlast welder.
I use 6011 on thin materials, usually i pull out my lincoln weld pak 140 wire welder, but if i know i will surpass the duty cycle on that machine, i pull them 6011 outs and burn
Great job as always. Thanks for sharing.
Great work Allens...excellent...From Argentina.
Good video, subbed an gonna watch more!
What kind of electrode im gonna use in my new inverter welding mach.?

7018 is not rated to run downhill. The slag runs to the front of the puddle due to gravity.
You dont run 7018 downhill you moron.
Nice job I have to get a little stick welder to do work out in the yard . keep the vids comming _.
Would you say its worth getting the DC version of the buzz box?
Yea, I dont use that machine much anymore but I wish it would've been DC, i had about 300 lbs 6013 rods that wouldnt run on ac and they just sat there forever
@@Allensweldingwoodworking Thanks Allen I'm gonna go for it!
This is what a pro looks like.
What did you have your welder set to?
75? Amps for the 3/32”.. and 90 amps for the 1/8”
Love the videos thanks Allen
Chucke2009 says do "whip and pause" with 6010/11.
BBQ Sandwich Both the whip and pause motion and the cursive e work great, chucke2009 has another video where he compares the two motions.
Do you ever get Shocked welding outside on that wet ground...
No
Ive been seeing those rectifiers that let you convert your ac machine into a dc machine for about $35
Really easy to put on
Look on youtube
I absolutely hate 6011 lol I used it on a firebox for a cooker I'm building i bought 50# off Craigslist so trying to get them used up
Stick with it. The channel will work. It'll take a while.
i just use an electric drill with the wire cup, works fine
Great info

Yeah man
No such thing as a DC 6011, they can be run on AC or DC. THE DC only version of that type rod is 6010.

I sure do learn a lot from the greenhorn graduates of TH-cam University. Thanks fellas!
It's very dangerous to use an angle grinder without the disk guard

6011 sure has ugly weld and slag compared to 6013 and 7018
