i am just starting mig mag welding in my school, and this really help me with the understanding of the settings. i am really happy. now i know the reasons why my mig mag build up so much and why it brings some dirty by the side of the welding. induction and the voltage i needed the most to understand and this explanations got me all i needed. thanks a lot. 🇸🇪🇳🇬
This was exactly what I needed to see to improve my Mig welding. Had the inductance set at 25%. Thanks for making this old guy a better welder. From one lefty to another - thank you!
The difference between this welding video and most of the others I've watched is that you're not assuming anything. You're covering all of the details, no matter how minor, and that's how a "How To ...." video should be made. I've noticed that some of the comments seems to be a bit negative. Why? Because your welding looks good!?! Come on, why can't a good weld look good, too? Based on what I'm seeing, the welds you've gone through the trouble of recording for the YT audience not only look great, but they appear to be super strong as well. Please keep up the great work.
Your discussion on Inductance is very helpful! Very few talk about it. Anxious to work with this more - I haven't been pushing the extremes but just a little here and a little there with not a lot of noticeable effect. Thanks!
Have you cut and etched for penetration? The “stacking dimes” always makes me nervous cuz it’s a colder weld. But then again I come from real thick metal in a factory setting where we go over the top hot and fast.
Paul Sparks yeah I know. And I agree it looks nice. But like I said it just makes me nervous being a colder weld. Just curious on the strength of it. I’m sure it’s fine on smaller thinner material I guess.
I need to get me one of those HTP Mig machines. That thing takes all the guess work out of mig settings. 🔥👍🏼🔥 With that said - Max hands down this is one of the best mig videos I have ever seen. This video gets me excited to mig like so many of the awesome tig videos out there. Your explanations are clear, consistent, brief and straightforward. Anyone who wanted to duplicate this style of mig welding would have a perfect jumping off point after watching this. Excellent brother! Keep em coming 🔥👍🏼🔥
This technique is actually allowed in structural welding. I weld girders for a living and either a straight push or pull technique or a back and fourth weave in the root is also fine. If u choose to weave back and fourth, turn ur settings up by a volt or two and itll still have structural integrity
i dont have the same kind of settings on my machine but now you got me eager to play around with the settings i do have. Great video! My other favorite part was when you said 175 ipm when you pointed at the screen that read 137 ipm 😂 Keep up the great work Max 👊🏻
Great video, thanks. I feel that here you are going more for the looks of the weld. But what about penetration? The example shown is thin metal, but what about thicker metal?
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge it's great to see young people taking pride in what they do. Question, are you by chance a Traveling Man ?? Just checking I saw some of your stuff in the online store . Keep up the good work!
Wth ur awesome! Thats not just a straight enough and good enough weld thats literally a perfectly straight weld. That weld is more square than my square
Very good instruction on some more advanced settings on the newer mig machines. Unfortunately for me, I have nothing but old, heavy iron. My primary mig is an old MM250. She’s a beast with just about the harshest arc I’ve ever seen, but brother, she loves to spray arc. I need to get one of those smaller fancy schmancy machines like you got.
@@thrillbillyjp1 I had one Neverlast machine in my lifetime. Luckily that nightmare is out of my life. It's all HTP for me, although I have to admit I do love my buddies ESAB as well.
I constantly get a tiny bit of spatter. Using a Lincoln 140mp. Just started welding again after 10 year hiatus. Maybe its just the welder. I'll just get some spatter spray i guess.
VERY NICE INSTRUCTION - i have. a millermatic 211 - and for practice i was using 14 ga tube - so thin - and miller says 6.5/45. =- dial settings but me metal is molten hot traveling that slow - dialing down V i get globules - no inductance setting on 211....my weldings look like 5.10 in video..... so guessing i can not get this look easily on211?
These welds look really nice but Welding two cards together on a 90° angle on your workbench isn’t practical application like welding a crossmember into a frame that’s vertical or upside down, if you have any tips in that area I am wide open because your welds do look very nice they sound very tasty and I am definitely open to improving my technique. Thank you good video
Beautiful work as usual! Good to know about the discount from Weld Metals Online. Earlier this year I bought a bunch of coupons from there and was surprised how nice the material is and how well packaged it was. I almost didn’t want to use it for practice they are so nice. I ended up using the aluminum coupons to make small containers out of them. TIG of course. I got practice while making something useful instead of another paperweight. It would be great if you had some ideas of small items that could be made using the coupons and posted a video of it. Love your videos! 👍🏻
What looks like the backside of a 3/16" mild steel plate after a T weld? Are there any protuberations or weld marks on it? I ask it because generally after the painting the weld beads are pretty visible on the backside and I need to get rid of these marks. I'm using 17V and 196amps, thanks. Great job!
I agree, that’s some nice welding young man. What type of gas are you using, C25 or other? I have a Hobart Handler 190 with 240V input and .30 solid wire with C25 gas. You make me want to get out and weld as soon as it warms up. I miss the crackles, smell and it all lol. I went to IvyTech Weld School after High School in 86, then welded at many fab shops after. Now I’m into electronics repair, but welding was my 1st love.
tnx for your informative video, what mig settings should be set on our welder machine for 5mm flat Y-butt (3mm gap) weld of stainless steel in order to achieve spray arc transfer mode?
Not sure, never ran one. I would just find the lowest wire speed that will work with your voltage from 18-20 volts if it tells you and keep tweeking til you find one you like. That's all I do
1st, baseline wire speed,2nd , volt's, 3rd, fine tune wire speed, ws- if you need to go down a little and lower volt's. If you need to up a little more turn ws up and volt's up.
I use this technique too, but i don't push back into the puddle, i just drag the root, and pause and let it build up and drag and pause and let it build up. my bead comes out looking very smooth, but not stacked like yours.
I have a tire shop here in Atlanta. I do bent rim repair and would like to start welding cracks in cast aluminum wheels. I would prefer MIG. Something that runs on 120 but I don't think that's strong enough for thick cast aluminum (spoke side ot the wheel). Can a MIG welder handle the task? If so what do you recommend on a budget for a beginner?
Hi I m starting to weld. To weld metal alloy can I use my standard mig welding machine with wire?? Or do I have to use a special wire?? Regard from Argentina
Great video!! Do you have any experience with some of the more entry level welders like a Hobart 140 with the click settings? I was wondering how you’d modify the settings compared to the chart on the machine. In your opinion is is more technique or machine setup?
Mostly just technique once you get your settings haha. On one like that I would turn down the voltage one click from what it says and the wire speed 2 clicks and give that a shot. doing small up and down movements before you scooch forward can help too!
Another informative video 👌 unfortunately for me my Mig machine a UniMig transformer machine only has wire speed and voltage dial,the voltage dial is numbered 1>10 (what ever that equates to 🤔) so sometimes it makes it a bit difficult in getting the machine dialled in as I have no idea what those numbers for the voltage settings mean.
Sure it just makes it a little harder. Look on the chart for the material thickness you're using, bump the voltage down 1 click from what it says, and try to lower the wire speed 1 or 2 clicks from that point. Should give you a real close start point
What's up with 200% inductance? How can you have more than 100%? Inductive loads cause the current to lag behind the voltage and capacitive loads cause the current to lead. I wonder if 100% is in phase 200% would be 90° lag and 0% would be 90° current lead? Not that it matters because my mm215 does not have this option (that i know of) just curious Cheers
Now that's what I call welding young man great job.
Thank you!
cut that weld and you see how great 😁😁😁😁😁
@@TheVideoblogas true, but looks really good :D
@@markman3031not so good once it breaks
I’ve watched a ton of videos and your work is by far the best examples of stacking dimes with MIG.
Thanks man! I apprecuate it

Excellent video. Your explanation of the inductance setting was what I was missing. Thank you!!!!
Super demonstration, very nice
I do this same technique but with 26 volts and about 400 ipm works the same pace is just at another level
I do appreciate your strategy. God bless you brother

It's cosmetic more than anything .

The thickness of that plate I think a moron could get penetration well don buddy

I still love the old transformer migs! But man is it cool to have all the fancy bells and whistles
Well stacked dimes, I recommend trying pulse with MIG-like-TIG process with 80A, dimes are even better looking.
I'll give it a shot! Thanks bud 👊
Looks great. Dimes are cosmetic alone though. They are consistant inconsistancies. I might be wrong but regardless they look great.
Great job. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks
I’d be afraid of catching that place on fire. Your welds look great.
Thanks for posting the video Max.Great stuff!
No problem bud I just hope it helps!
Your welds come out so nice. I really need more practice with my everlast welder.

Great welding technique,,,,

Are you stopping or slightly backing up to get the ripples? Well you answered my question 2 minutes after I ask the question
Well explained buddy thanks for the help. Real quick does it matter if I'm using a miller machine or no?
Beautiful!!!
Wow!!!…where can I buy that kind of talent…do you sell it on amazon
My welder has separate inductance and slope settings, any tips on what slope settings would work best?
Is the 220 MTS stand alone or what is the additional unit to the right of it? Thank you
This was mega helpful. Thank you!
Seu canal é show, tem me ajudado muito, parabéns, abraço aqui do Brasil...
when I tested for asme pulse we were not allowed to pull. Our weld engineer insisted that you need to push for good penetration
Awesome, do you have video on thin sheet stainless steel welding demo
Good video. I am going to give this a go!
Pretty looking weld but definitely a cold puddle. Great technique when looks are more important than strength

Hello bro. What is the settings for 1.3mm MIG wire for steel and gas is 75% argon and 25% Co2? Thanks
good job man, new sub here
Hi I m starting to weld. To weld metal alloy can I use my standard mig welding machine with wire??
Or do I have to use a special wire??
Regard from Argentina
Does it make any difference weather you go left to right or right to left when mig welding.
No, as long as you have an equal lead angle
Also I assume this is mild steel, so technically it's mag welding as it's an active(mix) gas. Not MIG which would be inhert gas
What gas setting do you run
Amazing vid 👍
My miller dosent have inductance,can I achieve these results?
What are the advantages of running mig vs tig for aluminum? I know production time is quicker with mig.
Way quicker and because of that you get less distortion
Im a beginner and im still learning about welding. Can we mig weld without using air?
No
MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. No, you can not MIG without gas.
Great video!!
