You can tell this fellow has taught a lot of classes. He has a conversational teaching style, a little humor, a calm demeanor, and you can't stop listening.
40 minutes of Bob?!! Am I in heaven?? Great Video as always Bob! Loving all your content!
I had a welding instructor change my Life. after he showed me how to weld I've been doing it ever since at home or work. life changing actually saving skill
I work with computers full time. I picked up an everlast welder on a whim and haven't looked back. Sometimes I even consider changing careers just so that I can get more arc time and learn more about welding.
I left a 12 year career as a graphics programmer after learning welding at home and machining at a maker space. I ended up with a job as machinist & maintenance tech after a couple years. The worst part of the transition was the pay difference. I had to make life changes including moving to make it work. The best part of the transition was getting home and not thinking about work.
How often and what is the best way to clean hood lenses. I have trouble seeing what I'm doing. # 10 shade.
Replace them.
spacystacy51 I had a very similar experience with my lead welding instructor. I had never considered myself to be the manufacturing/labor work-type. However, I decided to enter the Welding Diploma program at my local Vocational School. As it turns out, my instructor&I just clicked instantly with our work, personality, love of the industry, and all that.....Now I'm graduated, he left his position as the head of the program, and we are talking about collaborating on some work projects together. Truly life-changing, as you said!!🤘🤘
This guy is not only a great welder, he has a good sense of humor and seems like he would be a great guy to learn from.
That info about the 1/8" 6010 and 3/32" 7018 running at the same amps was really insightful... Good shit bob
Not insightful but NEC.. .I tell yu what at 100' In air...100' from welder at base. +10 amp xtra on 00 cable
I figured that out welding pipe.
putting Bob on as the full time video host was the best decision this channel could have made. his videos actually have useful take away unlike that "expert" who just made the videos feel like piss poor commercials and essentially offered nothing
ultimatemonkey I highly disliked Mr.Tig!!! Bob Moffat is amazing truly a great teacher. Between Bob and Jody( welding tips and tricks.com) my welding skills gave improved greatly. Thanks Bob Moffat!!
@@MrJimmyPayne Bob and Jody are my favorites also. The best on TH-cam in my opinion. Mr. Tig and chucky are my least.
All about attitude. Jody and Bob talk like one of the guys and not being an on screen character.
Agreed.
@@TheOldKid yep lol I like this true comment! :) bob and Jody are the only ones you'll see, out of those 4, at FABTECH giving classes to guys and interviews for students....wont see ChuckE doing that lol
We need Mr. Moffat back, I'm just learning, no ppe or equipment, watching Mr. Moffat has made me feel comfortable an confident I can weld.
I'm not learning for profit rather to weld for myself, I have a huge amount of welding to be done an the cheapest bid was $80/hr x 5 hours.
From what I've learned from Mr. Moffat is that it's a 2 hour job an the bidder's welds are horrible.
I feel confident that I can produce better results with what Mr. Moffat has taught me in these videos.
As to the new guy who took Mr. Moffat's place, lol, he expects you to read his mind an doesn't really teach anything other than hey look at me, I'm cool because I'm better than you an this ridiculous intro to the video that makes me think I'm watching a crappy commercial an I want to "skip adds".
I'm not dogging the guy rather pointing out factual truths I am experiencing, he's a poor teacher, point blank.
This guy's a MAJOR improvement... now I'll subscribe .... I've been welding since the late 50's and my own shop for 25yrs. .... I never get enough.
You put out the best videos that I have seen yet. After just a month or so of watching your videos and practicing what you preach I have improved my flux core and stick welding by leaps and bounds. So down to earth and easy to watch without all the uptight "I'm a pro" b.s. Thank you for all of the great information. I would love to be good enough to do custom fab work one day.
Best decision I ever made was getting a powerarc welder and learning how to weld from youtube videos. It is such a great life skill to have. I only wish I had done it earlier in life.
Enjoy your videos.Been welding for 40 years and still learning.I like watching other people weld.
At one point watching this video I went to flip my hood down just as bob was about to start welding. Great teacher does a good job immersing the viewer!
I learned how to weld on an old craftsman buzzbox when I was 8 yrs old been sticking stuff together ever since saved my ass more times than I can count I wouldn't be where I am without this skill. Good content Bob excellent video brought me back to the good old days tryin to burn whatever I had!!!
Thanks so much for the videos Bob. I bought the latest version of this AHP having never touched a tig or stick welder and only spending about three hours with a flux core machine. I’m having a blast learning and your videos are a great help to beginners like me.
We need more Bob vids . Please keep them coming.
(Why AC?), I think historically there was also the issue of wanting to use AC-only transformer machines. At one time you needed a mass of rectifiers, or some amazing rotating dynamo. I wish people had kept more of these historic welding machines around! Really enjoying all these videos, and the 7024 one-piece slag was impressive. Good stuff!
Right on man. Thanks for this. Y’all got good science vocalizing goin on, and I’m a HUGE fan of teaching ambidextrous welding. It should be an early skill path.
You never wanna be 30 minutes into a setup and realize y’all gotta come at it from a different angle cause you can’t use your other hand.
Our pleasure!
Bob Moffatt is the Bob Ross of welding
happy little beads
@@RickBaconsAdventures and nice even strokes : )
I'm sick and tired of Bob Ross comparisons.... 😪🤢
I was thinking Alan Rickman. Able to critique, and criticize his own work without the slightest change in voice. Now thats confidence skill and experience in one place.
I was going to say hes the jerry miculek of welding
If I had a teacher like Moffat I'd be a pro at about now. Been welding for more than a decade, still have so much to learn. Would sure appreciate more videos from Bob - keep 'em coming, please. Thank you.
As a fix it guy with a Mig and Stick welder, This channel is very helpful
I think this is my 3rd time watching this video, so much good info. Just ordered an ahp 201. Hope to get by the end of the month with all the craziness going on. Can’t wait to start glueing some metal together, thanks guys!
I haven't had the opportunity to play with frequency yet (will soon), but I've seen instructors demonstrate variations in bead profile by variations of frequency. So that's my answer: bead profile so you can stack 'em narrow or spread 'em out-as called for by the situation or the job.
2:40. I bought a Hone brand welder from Amazon, their arc welder. It was $84. I read reviews and a steam fitter used the welder to do large steel water pipes at work, commercially. He said it welded just as good as a Miller. So I bought one. And indeed, the arc is so smooth and the starting voltage is around 73 volts, no load. The welder produces such a smooth arc, it sounds like a steady hissing air, and the arc is rock solid, even if you turn the amps down 19 amps on the machine, with 240 volts input power, with 3/32 6013 rod. Read the reviews, but the new inverter DC welders, produce an extremely smooth arc, and it makes it a lot more enjoyable to weld. The inverter machines also are programmed with "arc force" to increase current if you dig the electrode in, so it's easier to maintain the proper weld bead, even if you accidentally get too close to the metal. For $84, everyone should learn stick welding.
i got a amico off ebay the 220 stick and lift tig did some 1/8 6013 as per bobs recommendations, brilliant!!! so smooth im afraid of welders typically, such a smooth arc and yes that arc force is AMAZING im no welder but my welds turned out absoluely aazing!! so true!!!
@@vickiesells8652I bought an Amico from a local guy (for a cheap plaything) knowing it will not run on 115, only on 240. Can you or anyone tell me how to fix it?
This guy is awesome, helps out so much, such a good teacher
I just showed this video to my welding class as they are distance learning. I gotta try that adjustable frequency stick thing! Also, dang curious how the balance control will affect it's behavior Two things with AC less arc blow and every farmer and their dog own an old AC buzz box.
Thanks Bob!!
I'm a 40 year old woman working retail store jobs my whole life. I stumbled upon your channel while looking up science videos (because I'm a nerd and live science). I have been watching your videos nearly all day and night for about a week now. I'm in love with wanting to learn to weld so I can quit Walmart. How do I get started in having a welding career? I wish I was in your state so I could take your classes. Thank you for your channel and I like your humor in the videos also.
You could take a course at a local community college or tech school.
Btw I'm retired ironworker.33 years in the trade.lots of travel and good times.
Had the opertunity to see lots of big jobs coast to coast.power houses, bridges,coliseums water tanks,cell towers.pretty much if there was a crane involved I've helped build one somewhere
that reaction to the slag peel made my day XD
I have that same machine in the back of my rig . . 1958 SA 200, Love it!
Ac Alternates the curent which means base plate becomes + and - each time the current changes direction and the arc shuts off this is an undesired situation. when the electrode becomes + electrons bombard the electrode and electrode heats more . when the electrode becomes - electrons bombard base metal and base metal heats more. Mostly these are used due to avaliability of the welding machines (most welding machines were simple transformers with capacitors and inductances without any frequency adjustment but only voltage adjustment)
However this configuration has a certain advantage. When the electrode becomes + and the base plate becomes - electrons are excited from base metal to towards electrode this situation breaks oxide formed on the base metal which gives advantage on welding metals that oxides fast such as Aluminum. Aluminum forms aluminiumoxide on its surface at instant which has melting point of aprox 2400celcius while aluminum itself has aprox 700 therefore it will be impossible to break that oxide layer if the setup is DCEN (-) (direct current electrode negative) . When the current it alternated while sacrificing arc firing, gain becomes breaking oxide layer and reducing overheat of electrode.
If anyone has more depth knowledge on the situation please correct my mistakes.
Spoken like a true welder, “I am going to finish this pass whether this machine likes it, or not…”🤣🤣🤣
I’m going to a weld class this coming up spring so trying to learn more
Where I live the electrodes are expencive and I use it all the way to the pure metal. I dont leave any coating on the electrode.
AirsoftSlo nnbbbb

About two inches is a good length to stop. I used to work for a Boss who would eat your butt big time for running rods to short. He hated replacing stingers for welders who would burn the stinger up to keep from wasting a rod. When you think about it, he was right on in his thinking....
Ow, yes I know. The cheapest electrodes Jadran S form Elektrode Jesenice cost around 4€ for 1 kg, this is around 2$ for 1lb. For us welding sticks or electrodes are very expensive.
coatings re there for a reason. when the coating burns it creates an inert atmosphere around the weld. you have to have coatings to create a acceptable weld. spend the money.
He is the most coolest welder I ever seen
Great show, I just came to this after buying my ESAB Rebel 205ci to learn the welding trade for maintenance and other work on our restaurant and farm properties in VA. I have a burning question after absorbing Bob's heavy on learning presentation: Can I use my machine in TIG mode (electrically) to do stick welding, in order to gain more control over amps, frequency and in DC mode, pulsing? I have not checked the connectors but cannot imagine they would be a problem.
I don't have any formal training (learned on the job), but I use 7018 ac for my root welds. Then I use 6013 dc for the rest of my passes.
Also, I run the 1/8" 7018 at 145 amps and my 1/8" 6013 at about 130 amps.
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who layed a rod .
Those 6010 probably had moisture in them. They usually run smooth as butter.
If you don’t own an electrode rod oven it seems like an advantage of 6010 or 6011 is that they are less sensitive to moisture.
We use the jet rod 7024 for cambering
Quarter inch
Currently 2020, I’m smokin weed watching this to learn about welding💯
Release pressure
AC gives a steadier Arc and reduces arc blow, I don't use DC because I'm welding alloy only.
I own the 2016 and after upgrading the Pedal to a SSC and the Harris flow meter and CK torch its a great unit I have 100-200 hrs easy on the unit and never had a problem with the unit and I wish the newer 2018 would have more upgrade to power source like a choice in different waves and a memory ect. Other then that I have been extreme please with my 2016 AHP !!
a.c. advantage is no arc blow
biggest advantage of A/C stick welding? You can stick weld thin sheet metal too
Opened my Christmas stocking the other day. Got some Pocky Sticks candy. Look like welding rods.
Hey Mr Bob. Love your videos. You’re one good guy for taking so much time to produce these videos and help everyone out. I was looking into the AHP alphatig 200x as a first ac/dc tig machine. I think at the price point it’s a good buy. What are your suggestions?
Great video!! Thank you so much for putting up so much powerful content.
I've never welded anything in my life. How I got here is a mystery.
Regardless, I could not stop watching... it's making me want to go get a Stick Welder and a pile of scrap and start welding.
The answer would have to be AC Advantage is it can weld magnetic steel better. That's what I have come up with.
Ac is for Aluminum I guess .. but HF is good for starting a weld and maintaining a steady hand and quality meld of weld ... ie less spatter
I run those 1/8 6010's at 100 amps. when I weld 8 inch and bigger pipe.they lay down real flat and burn smooth that way.
You would like one of my engine drives, 425Hz AC :) man it runs a slick bead, got a few videos on my channel. Interesting to see the machine doesn't want to run 5p+, not at all surprising though. 6011 (cellulose/potassium) will run just fine though.
...19:00....SAE200...DC gen-set.....smoothest DC possible.....
Biggest advantage of AC is to eliminate Arc Blow.
I am brand new to welding, but are an electrical contractor. I imagine DC welder has rectifying components to synthesize DC from an AC waveform; things that eventually will fail. Also, AC may be more efficient energy delivery. My non welder answers.
Welding using an explosive gas mixture, fascinating. I could weld aircraft carrier hull plating if I eat dairy, oh my lord! Fumes are a real problem though, my nose hair quit growing years ago. 🤪
That sounds like a whisper welder lol. Freaked me out first time I welded with one.
Can u do a video tig welding some sch. 10 stainless steel pipe -304 or 316 or whatever. I do a lot of backfeeding on carbon but I've struggled with the sch. 10 stainless. Thanks. (I asked u a couple of months ago and u said u would, figured u might of forgot)
Bob: hmm that’s strange I’m keeping a short arc length
6010: not gonna happen
Bob: let me go check my settings
6010: I don’t like this machine!!
Bob: I’ve had enough of that!!
Very nice Oh by the Bob lay off them taco before class. Thanks
the explosion at the end just proves that everyone is human......let her rip moffatt
man that 7018 arc seemed a little wild and crazy. wet rod, machine, or just camera flare?
Zach Tarbell camera flare
I own one of the rare as hen's teeth AHP Alpha MIG 250 machines and it doesn't like running 6010 either.
The Advantage To AC Welding is Expense of Welding Rods and Welder
3:33, did he try to taste the slag?
“Slag peel almost. (Removes slag) It’s a beauty.”
When you put a small electrode at the end of the line to have a better end, do you tack it in?
Bob just created a new type of welding POOMAW
ok, I'll just see myself out
Yeah, i know the feeling of hearing that annoying banging noise all day, i take a welding class and like 10 out of the 22 students will sit in there weld for like 2 minutes on a plate, six inch long plate mind you.... and beat the hell out of it for the next 20 minutes trying to get the slag off..... like, i wear earplugs just to muffle the noise...
Here I sit broken hearted ,came to shit but only farted,wasted a dime but what the hell, at least I can sit here ,and enjoy the smell!!
Thanks for the video Instructor 👍🏾🍺☕🍪
enjoyed every minute of this video.....
Great videos, great teachings, thank you
LOL!!!!! THERE OUGHT TO BE A "MAN" CHANNEL ON TV!!! THIS SHOULD BE ON IT!!!!...... VERY GOOD!!!! IT'S LIKE BEING ON A REAL JOB, HEARING ALL THE INSIDER WORK-TALK!!!.... ALL TRADESMEN APPRECIATE THIS KIND OF STUFF!!!!! [YOUR MIC. DIED TOWARD THE END!...]
Hey mister Moffitt it just occurred to me after all the videos that I've watched is that the old gym bathroom.
No arc blow on ac.
You said 7018 is AC aswell. Make sure you state that it will only work if it’s a 7018 AC rod.
Help! Everlast MTS 251Si stick and tig show zero on the left digital readout. Just sent one back and got one that shows the same and will NOT give me an arc. First one did for a day, showed numbers on the left, then the next day the left showed zero and I could not strike an arc. I went through Ironworking apprenticeship, and have struck 1000's of arcs. Please know what to do to help!
it would dig deeper into the metal with less blow out
I wish this dude was my dad.
Mate if your ever in Australia hit me up and teach me, am i the only one who is laughing real hard at your “one liners”
No arc blow.
Hood! Thank you for that. Too many times I hear people call them Helmets. Football players wear helmets. Welders wear hoods.
Why does the number on the welder change as you're welding. Does the amperage vary? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am as new as one can be at this.
Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change.
When welding, the voltage will be at its highest when the machine is on but the circuit isn’t completed. This is so that an arc can easily be initiated.
Then, as you’re moving the arc along, the voltage will go up and down depending on the length of the arc. The longer the arc, the higher voltage will be required to maintain the arc. As the electrode burns away, as well as shaky hands, etc, it’s unrealistic to expect precise arc length throughout the entire weld.. it’s going to grow and shrink slightly as you go. Causing the voltage to change, thus causing amperage to change.
Hope this helped.
BOB, at 24:27 I see the amps are at 105, then you begin and hot start seem to allow up to 148A, but then in normal regime 125A are showing up, not the 105A you did regulate. Do you think it is the arc force that create that supplement , as long you keep a short arc ? (I mean if arc force was set to zero, no amps rise during welding)
Thank you
6010s dont run very well on any inverter
Dwayne Simmons I disagree. They run sweet on the Rebel and Renegade.
I run E6010 on open-root mild with a Miller XMT350 all the time, without any trouble.
BUT, i do hear people complain about 6010 running like garbage on some brand of inverters.
Dwayne Simmons run 6010 on Miller dynasty 210 at work all the time. My alpha tig at home does what you see here seems the cheaper inverters with no dig function is where it gives problems
just going off what ive heard thank you though
You just need a machine that supplies enough voltage to keep the 6010 rod from snuffing out. So some machines will say "6010 capable!!!"
Reduce/eliminate magnetic blow by? A/C that is
Been looking at a new tig welder guess I just found it
Rock n roll sir bob..
Bob, I know this is an old video. However, have you ever done a video with 8018 or 11018?
3:20 CRIIIISP
Come on Bob. You know that inverter machines typically hate 6010. Many of the higher priced models (like the ESAB you've been playing with) have a specific switch for 6010 but most of them don't including the AHP. That was cheating.
No arc blow!
If I'm not mistaken the advantage of AC is it gets the best penetration. Though for some reason whenever I try to run AC I stick rods all day long hahaha
Hello hope all is well. I have the same machine, im new to welding. But what settings and stick would you recommend to use for welding a 4x4 front differential carrier assembly bracket? im converting a 2wheel drive chevy to 4x4.Thanks in advance.
No arc blow! 7018 AC 120 hz up hill is a walk in the park with no arc blow
Allows the user to weld on magnetized material.
is the ac balance active in stick mode?
