    This video shows a few mig welding tips and techniques for 45 degree miters on square tubing. the direction of welding makes a big difference and so does weld bead sequence.
    I used .025" er70s-6 wire on a lincoln powermig 210mp but .030" or .035" wire would have worked just fine.

    What this guy calls “pretty decent” are outstanding welds. Always a humble dude!

      If his welds are decent mine must be horrendous!

    Newbie with a MIG, and this is absolutely great tutorial and explanation of using weld contraction to ones benefit.

    Thank you for including metric measurements in your explanations :D just one other reason why you're one of the best instructional video makers on TH-cam

    • @rogeronslow1498
      @rogeronslow1498 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. Mentioning the metric size always saves me the mental gymnastics converting.

  • @TheRealRHDuggan

    That technique will help me tremendously. I've struggled with parts coming out of square ever since I started welding. Thanks Jody!

  • @Steelcrafted
    @Steelcrafted 6 ปีที่แล้ว +43

    Great tip on knocking that sharp corner off before welding!! I usually tig fuse those, but sometimes I mig them and you're right, it's hard to run a straight bead on a knife edge like that...great tip!

    Been seriously watching Jody since I started welding and even after I passed my Red Seal test and many weld tests. I still watch Jody, enjoy his videos, purchase from his store and learn something new every video. Keep up the great work Jody.

  • @Jake-tt6mk
    @Jake-tt6mk 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    At fifty-on I`m getting laid off (after 26yrs working as a 3D modeler/graphic artist)... but on the plus side it`s forcing me to do the things I`ve always wanted to do anyway. Things I didn`t otherwise have the courage to do, and never got around to learning when I had that steady check rolling in. So now I`m being forced into it, and I`ll have to hit the ground running! So maybe it`s a blessing... because its sink or swim time! Can`t imagine how much harder this would be moving forward without your channel, and I just wanted to say thanks... it`s very much appreciated! My very best to you and yours!

  • @phbrinsden
    @phbrinsden 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently culled out a lot of subscriptions but not this one. Jody is the real deal. He shares his tremendous skills and knowledge with a genuine easy style. I am an amateur welder and I like that I can closely watch his movements and settings. Every video is a good learning. Thanks Jody.

  • @mattanderson4964

    My LaSquare is here since yesterday. It was not so easy to get one of these here in Germany so i ordered it in the UK and it is metric, juhu juhu 👍😉
    A day without welding is like a day without sun, for me !

  • @alfredocuomo1546
    @alfredocuomo1546 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I like about your videos is you do everything, Oxy, mig, tig, steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum where as some others all they show you is Aluminum. That's great except most of my welding is steel or other ferrous metals. Your insight is great & I really enjoy your content.

  • @Good-Enuff-Garage

  • @scotthoward4490
    @scotthoward4490 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ps sory for my english it not perfect . Give me a point for trying

  • @jeffgemv
    @jeffgemv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Showing MIG tacking as part of the process would be helpful. The speed you can make the tacks also impacts the squareness.

      Yes and no, if it's sealed should be ok if it's not then if it rusts then it's useless

    @denyspoyner4150 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is exactly the way I was taught 20 years ago, always works well. I've tried to teach this to some of the clowns I've worked with over the years, sadly some just don't seem to understand and it always showed in the finished product.

  • @Fullchiselchainsawartistry
    @Fullchiselchainsawartistry 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @chuckhickman8093
    @chuckhickman8093 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    alot of times I bevel the joint prior to welding to make the beads get deeper penetration and lay flatter as well. this comes in handy on things that need the welds ground flat, since there will be less to grind

    @JimbosGarage 6 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Look at that Jody!, You keep everything square with out use a square vise like i use or fireball square like JD uses. Old school! Is sometimes the best way!

  • @grumpyone5963
    @grumpyone5963 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video again. I do this joint very often for frames. I grind a flat on the corners at 90 degrees to the outside edge before putting together on the bench. It gives you a nice little 90 degree corner to fill and grinds up lovely.👍

  • @jamiejames5311
    @jamiejames5311 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Jody, when I make box section frame work I nock off thickness of box each end that way you don’t have to grind
    Down outside edge it leaves a little internal 90 so when you run down out side makes a good strong joint
    Hope that makes sense
    Keep up all the good work and tips love it👍

  • @CarswithNash
    @CarswithNash 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I square it & tack the center of the tip, then quickly pull it back tight into my square & tack the top of the back corner & then flip & top of back corner on other side. Then run a bead down the tip, this melts in the tack that I left in the center, then around the rest in no particular order but starting away from those corner tacks & then running the bead into them to melt them in. So a bit different but I enjoyed your thought process on the subject. I use an all aluminium square so I can weld with it in place.

  • @leso204
    @leso204 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    over the years as a on/off site welder' i was suprised how many supposed pro welders had difficulty welding box section to a good standard, i used to help out a friend with a fab' shop when large runs came in so we used to use Agency welders when needed, we soon found out the failings of this but had no option, so every welder we hired had to do a simple test consisted of a upright of 2"x2" (50x50) in our case 12" tacked to a base plate then a piece of box section 3" long tacked at right angles 2" from the top so looked like a lower case 't' test was put 4 fillets around the right angled box' you would not believe how many failed that test and those people worked in the industry ...
