    Great info as usual matt, have you considered putting a welding helmet over the camera so it would hopefully reduce the glare so we could actually see the welding process..... it could even be slowed down to show the actions....

    Hi Matt, I have been building roll cages here in Australia sense the 1990's. I thought I would have a look at this video out of interest, I found it very worth watching with great tips and explanation.

    Hi Matt, Great advice, so many times I see guys fabricate bits and they never chamfer/bevel the edges. As far as I can see you have some the cleanest welds I've seen. Great work, keep it up.

    Great video mat, I was in the shop over the weekend turning a friends mini bike into a trike and I was fabricating with 3/4 inch galvanized tubing and between not welding in a while, trying to stay out of the zinc smoke and my 57 yr old eyes 👀 it was kicking my ass, I put a lot of pressure on myself to have my welds look perfect and I could get a perfect bead all the way around the joint to save my life

    Fantastic training video as usual Matt, no retakes - just showing it as it turned out. ..... You always manage to make it look so easy!
    I only have a “stick welder” and find it so hard to weld thin material - ok with the thicker metal.

    Think I'm about 30% "can't get the torch/gun in", 70% "can't get my head or shoulders in the space to see the joint properly"; not just tube but difficult spots in general.

    Hey man, very helpful video, I’m getting a Mig machine today to install a cage in my Camaro for the NASA CMC series. I’ve got a few questions though about it.
    I’ve heard that some people tend to not weld the entire length of tube when it’s against the roof/headliner (I assume it’s because it’s too tight).
    I read on a forum that you can cut the floor the drop the legs of the cage… How effective is this? Does it weaken the part of the floor where the cage plates are getting welded to?
    Also are there any tips you would give me as a newbie?

  • @knutsir
    @knutsir 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pro tip regarding welding downwards as opposed to upwards; With MIG/MAG it's easy to get a nice weld when welding downwards, but if you want maximum strength and good penetration, always weld upwards. If you're stick welding or using TIG, upwards is always recommended. Also, you will never get as strong welds with MIG/MAG as you get with TIG, sticks, or innershield/flux core wire. For welding pipe joints with maximum strength, TIG is superior. Btw, I used to be a certified welder in the oil & gas industry.
