Thanks for watching
@6061 I would gladly sponsor you. I own a welding supply in KY. Could I email you or something?
A magician never gives up his secrets.
Unless it’s 6061. He wants everyone to succeed. Love the narrations brother!
For a price. And I think you'll find that's common practice amongst magicians as well.
You and PrimeWeld are a great combination. I have had the 225 Tig machine for at least 5 years. Great company!
Love the "mig welding tips" and how you'd throw one with every new tip
Great information, I bought a prime weld tig set up for my first tig machine and it’s been great for me.
Thanks, Aaron, for the video. It was much appreciated!
I purchased a 285 a year ago. It was one of the best decisions I've made. PrimeWeld has always been there for help and questions when I needed it. That's hard to find these days. Looking forward to the spool gun training/tips video, I need help with that in a bad way. Also would like to see some lift tig training/tips on that 285.
Always great information....Thanks !!
Tool Kinda looks like a packing iron for okum when doing a lead joint in plumbing.
I think that"s right. Hub and spiket work
Beautiful Welds as always
Would love it if you can make a video about pulsed spray arc transfer
@@6061 I have recommended your videos many times to everyone I know I think the value is incredible. We all appreciate the knowledge
You're great Aaron
Recently, I bought a 15 kg spool of what what i thought was flux core wire. Turned out to be dual shield, for use with CO2 gas, which is what is available locally in Thailand. Works really well, albeit messy, with splatter balls, but anti splatter spray resolves that problem.
Waiting for the spool gun video
Me too!
Great video, thanks. Would like to see aluminum Mig tips video.
Aaron , I think the 2/T-4T feature really is helpful if you are using a turn table and the gun is in a fixed position so you can do a controlled run of parts , I got the Idea of doing that from seeing it done in a drive shaft shop .
Would you please TIG steel or stainless with this machine and give some tips on lift TIG, no pedal/button welding? v/r wh
The "T" in 2T/4T means touch. In 2T with mig the pull of the trigger is 1 touch, the release is the second touch. The pull is on, the release is off. In 4T mig, pulling and releasing starts the weld. This represents the first 2 touches. Pulling and releasing a second time, (touches 3&4) , ends the weld.
So setting a machine to 2T makes the trigger/pedal a momentary switch while 4T makes it more like a toggle.
4T has a place with mig when doing long welds/mass production. Can help with fatigue/cobcentration. I've only used 4T with tig on small parts with 2-3pps. Since you can't modulate amperage in 4t, it's difficult to use without the part heatsoaking. But that's just my experience as a hobbyist. Your mileage may vary
Still makes little sense if that's true
Should be 1t/2t
@@6061 yeah, it's weird, but someone thought they were on to something🤷♂️
This is my experience with 4T.
Miller calls this function trigger hold. Or they did on older machines like the Miller Shop Master. I used one of these machines for 3 or so years. Spray arc welding 2" diameter steel pins onto a 1" thick plate. The weld had to be continuous without a restart. So the trigger hold was extremely helpful for those welds. Allowing my gun hand to be more relaxed. I then started using it for other parts. The Miller trigger hold requires you to hold the trigger for 3 seconds or so after which you let off the trigger. Then to stop the weld you tap the trigger once again. But if you hold the trigger down with out letting off it acts normal (2T). If you let off the trigger before 3 sec. it also act normal. Allowing you to do short/ tack welds.
Overall this function is extremely beneficial. At least the way Miller has it programed. As some weld on the parts I made were 12 or more inches then the next weld was only 4". Also allows you to "turn the corner" easier. Where you have 3 or more pieces coming together forming a box shape.
In my opinion the Lincoln 2T/4T sucks. As there is no way to do short welds or tacks without pulling the trigger twice.
Thats pretty interesting looking gas nozzle, used to see what Kemppi, Esab and Fronius has. Mayby it cools better with
Hello, nice Video 👍 More plz. Greetings from Austria
Great work sir
Great tips!
At 14:02 - i didn't know about the adjustable nozzle. I just used to cut the nozzle down for the tip stick out i liked.
Like to see what E71T flux core would look like with that welder.
very cool. ima check out prime
code "6061" to save
They've been good to me (both the people and the machines)
thanks for watching
I would like to see video on welding with machines on 110 volts. Most hobbiest use machines on 110 volts. I know the material is not as thick. Thanks for the knowledge you are relating.
Anything more specific? If it was a general video, it'd just be this same video, but 1/8" thick material (50% less thickness)
Weather you know it or not you may be a better teacher than a welder. I believe I’m very proficient at my craft but I don’t think I’m a good teacher. Jmtc. As always great video.
Very nice. Prime weld is an awesome company, I have a tig225x, if I was looking for a mig machine, this would probably be it. Can it do spray transfer on steel? Since it outputs 285 amps, I guess it can with the right gas
you've gotta look for the maximum output voltage specification. short circuit MIG works around 18-24V and spray arc needs 28-30V or more.
@@AF29007 yeah. It seems that the max voltage is 28.3 Volts... so with 100% argon, maybe some "light spray" is possible
This machine will spray.
With a 98%Argon 2%Oxygen you can achieve spray around 26-27 volts. This assumes 0.035" wire diameter around 400ish wfs.
Personally I would use a gas blend without oxygen. With 0.045" wire and 90ar/10co2 you need somewhere around 30.2 volts at 350wfs. This was on a machine with many hours. So I'm sure the display wasn't accurate. But I achieved good results.
I have read that it can do spray but with 0.035 wire turned to the max
That is the first mig gun i have seen with a reversible insulator.
When it starts to smooth out like a 7018, yeah
Looks like an interesting option, i have a Stel Iron mig atm, it's basically a HTP 220 MTS, in Europe the company is Stel they make them for HTP.
Good welder a lot more expensive and heavy,
I'd like something lighter for the Van.
Do prime weld sell to Europe?
Do you know where the stel/htp factory is located? I’m sure you know with Italian luxury brands, instead of making them in sweat shops in China they have imported the workers and make them in sweatshops in Italy to retain the “made in Italy” and the price. Can’t find any information on the location of their factory in Italy.
Polecam bezsilikonowy środek separujący do uniknięcia przyleganie odprysków na końcówkę spawalniczą. Wystarczy spryskać i jedną końcówką można spawać przez kilka tygodni. Pozdrawiam.
A lot less slag than my flux welder, I still use the cooler cup though 😅
The spatter removal tool?? No clue what that is! Looks cool tho.
the tool is an osteotome. bone breaker for veterinarian surgical work. i have a full set in SS for fab work.
Sounds like bacon frying.😋
👍
Its an aluminum flaring tool
It's a left handed Polish screwdriver
U R fckn genius 👋
Looks like a surgical bone chisel
I'd say it's a medical chisel. It looks to be stainless steel
That is an osteotome. Bone chisel.
