6011 Stick Welding Quicky Fab

Great video. I've made a couple of these now for moving things about easily. 6013 is about all you can buy in regular hardware stores in Australia. Love your videos and have learnt so much from them.

The hell with 6011. 7014 is MUCH easier to use

A couple thoughts: concrete floors are also notorious for not being flat! Most of them are like the surface of the ocean! ; Love those Lincoln tombstones! Great asset in a small shop! Known several guys who bought Miller thunderbolts, and every one of them had issues with them. The movable core locking up, the diodes burning out on the ac/dc version, and they all had that ultra annoying loud noise like a needle scaler running up against a piece of hanging sheet metal! Good news though! They make great boat anchors! Ha!

Very good man love you

Thanks for sharing with us, good quick job 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

love how you say dureesta!

I heard 6010 only run on DC. I actually run 6010 on my century 295 amp AC welder set for 95 amp 3/32 rod force setting. It work the weld look very good pass the test

i love you jodie

So funny the types of rod that different people like to use. I think ChukE2009 says that he prefers to use 6013 on most things but you say you dont like it. Interesting.

Just get a frame stretcher Jody🤣😉

Lotta welders dont like how the 6011 looks, to me it’s my favorate weld outside of Tig. So just remember, id you ever think you are ugly, I’m out there looking at welds.

It's nice to see a video like this . A lot of us just beginning or hobbyist like my self don't have all the equipment of full time welders , so it's nice to see tips and tricks on how we can do quality work with out all the extra's . Thank You !

Nice build.

So I was using a 6011 3/32 rod and seems like a fresh rod was wide open almost getting out of control sometimes. But as the rod burned down it seemed to smooth out a lot almost like somebody turned the Amps. Is this normal? I was using an amico 160 inverter welder. Was the same on both polarities.

Fiters use a porta band to cut steel .I'm a BOILERMAKER and I use a grinder with a cutting wheel. Also Boilermalers weld in place gutters use a pipe vice to weld.

Jody's videos are the first lessons I ever had when I bought my everlast welder back in the day. He is as relevant today as he was back then. Thank you Jody.

You are muy bueno welder

dust mask? need a gas filter no?

any suggestion for the substitution of 7018,? because im having trouble using 7018. it always stop and cannot melt properly. i dont know if whether the machine or the power supply in our area is the problem. but 6013 and 6011 works very well. thank u in advance

Good rod choice, sometimes low hydrogen rods can't be accessed during a weld process

Question: I'm using HOBART brand 6011 with a Lincoln tombstone set to AC at 110/120 amps. I'm getting these pin holes/inclusion that are in the throat of the bead and on the base metal where there is no weld. They look identical from weld to base metal. I've not seen anything like this. (I looked at your video to see if I was doing something wrong.)

Do you normally Weld with a 6011 rod on material you are using.
I was welding up a tail gate for my trailer the other day and I was using my thermal arc fabricator 211i machine 6013 1/8 Lincoln rod on 65-90 amps and it felt like it running okay but once I chipped of the slag it looked like I haven't welded in years . Then I would end up blowing holes and. Well it was just a mess. my thought is it's not the correct rod and maybe I should of been using a 6011 or a 7018. Idk what do you think.

I'm welding on pipe for the first time ever in my shop class and didn't even think to switch the machine to AC total life saver and thanks for the rod tips

Jody what amperage should I run the 6011 rod at on DC voltage? I can switch my cheap Harbor Fright over to AC amperage if yo thank it would work better on Ac. Sure would appreciate your your help with the amperage problem.

Have you ran 7018

could you tell me where you got that fat square. I had had one many. years ago but lost it

I'm pretty sure those mask filters are particulate filters not Vapor cartridges

Why are you wearing a respirator?

One thing to point out, when welding casters, so so often it is galvanised steel and welding galvanised is quite poisonous, so be careful when welding galvanized material. The zink can kill you. I am talking from experience of galvanic sickness.

DirEsta ))

Love your videos man. You're a down to earth, no bullshit kinda guy, and I'm learning heaps from you. Thanks for all that. Stay safe..... 😎

im taking up SMAW NC1, which is better using one hand? or with the help of other hand? tnx sir

An open butt root pass......(giggling)

Excellent information, you sure make it look easy.

evening sir . question have you ever heard of prostar welders? if so how good are they

That Portaband saw looks like it works really well. Could you please post a video on how you fabricated/mounted that small fence to the saw? Looks like it's great for making square cuts!

Next time could you show us your cold saw (ext) first so I could maybe figure out what you are designing in your mind? It might make it a little more interesting. (or not). Thanks

Love it. I learned on a Lincoln tombstone AC box in 1969. I think every welder should start on one! Enjoy all your vids.

Is there a reason you used 6011 instead of 7018? Really curious? 7018 has always been my go to rod on mild steel. Should I be using different rods for different types of projects?

I always tack the inside corners on square, rectangular frames. It's flexes easier when I Xsquare it. Just a tip

hi im from the philippines many of your equiptment were not yet available inmy country but iwould lke to have it like the plasma cutter the speed triangle and difernt kinds of clamp can you help me to have some of this thank you very much godbless and more power ,

another great video. thanks alot man. very helpful!

I really like watching these kind of AC stick welding videos, America was built on AC welding and used for decades in farming and repair work and still works just as good as it ever did. I just think its pointless to spend the extra $$ on a DC machine if you are just buying a welder to have in the garage or barn for general fab and repair. keep the videos coming thanks.

Hi Jody, How do you video the welding? Can you do a video on how to video welding?

Lot of learning.. have you try Kawasaki IGBT 215C just want to learned from this unit... thanks

super
