    You should open up a welding class on the side online your knowledge is valuable

      Thanks for The Complement. But No Time were working 60 to 70 Hours Now. I was a Tool & Die Welder for 20 years, Then got into Fab. after 08. When the Economy Crashed.

    No doubt you are the real deal! Great video and explanation. Can you disclose the brand of wire you are using? Is it a metal core?

    I appreciate your video and I’m sure it will help someone just starting out. I noticed in one of your replies to a previous comment that you said you were watching out for the boss so, I know it’s not your decision but, why would one want to weld that particular material thickness and bead size with hard wire? Seems metal core or gas shielded flux core would be a far more efficient choice.

      ER 70S-3 is mild steel. The weld bead size is what they want. AWS Standards for bead size is Half the Thickness of the thinnest material. Thanks for the Comment. I’m here to help.

    Would you use a grinder with wire wheel to remove slag I think it would be quicker.

      You Could, But The Nettle Scaler is Faster.

    Would 615 be high for 23.8 ? I weld on a millermatic 252 ( have been for around 6 years or a little more ) and at 23.9 im at 420 wire speed lol. Im also only welding 1/8 inch metal but i assumed you would need more wire speed for more metal lol.

    • @GreatLakesReliance
      @GreatLakesReliance  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I depends on what shielding gas, and what wire size you are running. I’m using 95/5 gas, and 035 wire. ER70S-3

    Great video! Was it solid core wire? And what does the 95/5 do as opposed to 75/25?

    Love his intent... then sticks his arm in front of the camera. LOL Wish the guy would stick a extra helmet over the camera/phone and stick it closer to the weld so we can see better. I'm wondering why no wire wheel rather than the needler. But... THANK GOD for no stupid muzak! I hate it when guys make welding vids into music vids.

    Your voltage is way to low should be up in the 29 or 30 to get spray transfer

    Wut??? wut??? iam kinda lost: a 0.35inch or 0.9mm wire, at 23.5V, at 615ipm or 15.6m/s THATS NOT A SPRAY TRANSFER. It doesn't matter what kind of welding gas you are using. More correct way to describe this transfer mode is intermediate or dip transfer. You kind SIR seem to be a experienced welder but... the welding proses DOES NOT sound like spray transfer nor the bead looks like one. With all due respect.

      Just one more thing a 0.35 wire on 3/8 plate is a waste of time.

    • @GreatLakesReliance
      @GreatLakesReliance  ปีที่แล้ว

      I Guess it's on the Edge of Spray going into Short Circuit Transfer. and we use 95/5 gas

    • @GreatLakesReliance
      @GreatLakesReliance  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not 3/8 Plate. I'm putting down a 3/8 Fill it. 0.35 is what They want up to use.

      @@GreatLakesReliance ahh... (press X to doubt) i have very little experience running 0.35 wire... but i mainly run 0.40/1mm or 0.45/1.2mm wire. So the best and easiest way to tell when you are doing spray transfer is sound. There will be no that frying bacon BS, you aim for hissing. In YOUR case SIR i would recommend to start at least at 25v and around 400ipm. Of course every machine is little bit different, every wire as well. PS thanks for reply and would love to see what settings actually are needed for spray transfer in this case. Marry Xmas.

    I'm not really understanding why you're using .035 wire on such heavy material. I realize that you can make it work but time is money, this just seems stupid to me.

      That's what The WPS, says to use. I Just do what They Want. It's There Money.
