Great demonstration. I would like to see you guys do this with a 1/16 6013, I was using this to weld up some really thin square tubing I'm not 100% sure without going back and looking what the thickness was but it was a lot thinner than what you were welding on there. And the joint was like a flare bevel I guess because of the rounded corners on the square tubing. I had a heck of a time with the slag running out in front of my rod and I got a few stretches of really good weld but some stretches with slag inclusions. I tried to keep a rod angle to push the slag behind me but it was a booger, and a few times I did burn through the tubing.
ОтветитьI'm having hell welding some thin steel. I made me a set of half doors for my Suzuki samurai and all I have is an old Lincoln ac225 buzzbox. And its coming along but man it's slow and I dont know if I have it too hot or too cold. I keep blowing holes or the rod sticks like crazy. I'm running 40 amp rod stick. 80 amp burn holes. 60 amp burns holes. Using 3/32 6011
ОтветитьWhat is a gauge?
ОтветитьI stick weld somethings that a mig gun just won't fit
ОтветитьThanks so much! Could you use this for auto body sheet metal?
ОтветитьGreat video. Thank you for sharing.
ОтветитьThanks!
ОтветитьGreat Video and thanks for posting! Been fixing exhaust pipes with 3/32" 6013. What's your opinion on welding 16 gauge automotive exhaust pipe using a 3/32" 6013. Uphill/Downhill? Thanks..
ОтветитьCould I use 7018 3/32?
ОтветитьAMAZING.. would it be possible to spot weld thin metal with a stick at 80 amps?
ОтветитьYou provided more useful information for stick welding in five minutes than I got than I got from my stick welding instructor some 40 years ago. Thank you.
I have a project that requires 2x2 square tubing with 1/16 inch wall, mild steel. Any chance that could be done with an AC only Lincoln tombstone type welder? My only other options are oxy/acet welding (I’m mediocre)) or bronze brazing (which I’m very good at). Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Bob you’re the best 👍
ОтветитьWhere is Bob now??? Need more of him
ОтветитьI'd really like to see a butt weld with 1/8" sheet metal using AC stick.
ОтветитьWould like to see you weld thick steel to a car thickness sheet metal.
ОтветитьSure answered my questions for my first weld of something that is not junk metal lol
ОтветитьNice,
ОтветитьVery useful for making your own fuel tanks
ОтветитьUsing a high nickel rod such as for stainless steel is THE trick for this sort of thing.
ОтветитьThis post is 4 years old. But I have to ask can 6013 be used to weld truck frame ???
ОтветитьI had needed to do some welding on my truck for a while and wasn't comfortable with the 6011 or 6013 I had in my garage.
Well, at work (as a boilermaker) I finally got an "opportunity" to weld on an expansion joint that was as thin or thinner than the sheet metal on my body panels.
The guy on the shift before me had a bunch of 7010 and a bunch of 6013. Neither ran right for me, no matter how hot or cold it would just not start. Once the 6013 did start, it just blew the holes out worse.
Took myself down to the tool room and asked for a fat wad of 3/32 6010. Ask and ye shall receive. It worked beautifully once dialed in.
So now I have a tall boy full of that same exact 6010, from the same supplier as work. Now I'm just waiting on a nice day to put those panels on.
Good video! Thank you Sir.
ОтветитьI used the same rod as you have and same gauge metal ..at 70amps it melted the metal completely. Why would that be?
ОтветитьI was MIG welding Some Thin sheet metal And some white powdery substance came out can you please let me know what that is It's about the thickness of corrugated metal
ОтветитьWhat kind of difference would I get between a 1/8 3/32 and 1/16 rod (same rod, just different diam.) on the same kind of gauge sheet metal? Im welding up the bed of a pickup (or car...whatever, its a Ranchero..it's confused). I am patch welding and its not perfect, and I never welded before (other than doing practice beads on scrap metal and such...I will say, that looking at you...I suck...royally lol, BUT, looking at other channels with the name weld in them...I do better than those guys, so maybe there;s hope for me yet!)
ОтветитьSo you quit being a surgeon because?
ОтветитьThanks a million for the tips. Works great
ОтветитьWow! Your work is inspiring- you are educative.
I'm looking into using my arc welder to do my VW bodywork (the old models with thicker metal- pardon me- I don't know the exact gauge). Is A.C applicable for the thin sheet metal using 6013?
Thanks.
Thanks for professional quality video. I've been trying to braze some light sheet metal and the heat kept bending the panels I was trying to put together. Will give your method a try later today. I've got a small dc welder that should work. Reck'n we'll see? Thanks again.
ОтветитьI think is light can be even.mig is hard to welld he did really good only one thing might you all don't get have to change cables not normol.if don t just holes all over
ОтветитьI would love to see a fillet weld on 14ga c purling to 3/16, stick and mig configurations.
Thanks for your video!!!!
Just found you :) Great video about exactly the rods and 3 types of arc I've been researching. :) You see, I've always been attracted to the idea of welding but spent 33yrs at finish woodworking. Now I have a place out in the rural countryside and would like to begin welding a little bit around the property. I believe I won't have much trouble w/ a little practice and a small Lincoln AC Buzz Box (used) for cheap, welding thicker metals like 5/32" or 1/4" metal like you find on a trailer or zero turn lawn mower. However, I would like to frame up and weld a carport w/red iron which is about 16, 14 or 11 gauge metal.
Questions :
a) Can I use an AC only welder for these smaller sizes ? What electrode would you recommend ?
b) Will the benefits of an AC/DC (p/n) welder version be so substantial to me as a beginner doing infrequent projects as to justify the extra cost ?
c) If so, would you recommend DC neg. arc ? And what electrode would you recommend for these thinner metals ?
Thank you for your generous consideration,
Sincerely ..............................

I work for a sheet metal company, currently learning to operate the press break and work with bends but I have a huge respect for the art of welding.
ОтветитьMan, great! Ok, I gotta try it with negative! I was blowing through even 1/8th plate with 6013 on dcep, but then I also had the heat cranked up too high I'm sure. I don't know what I'm doing. :(((
ОтветитьI hope I get this good one day
ОтветитьBack in the 70’s I used to stick weld 18 ga galvanized sheet metal when building signs a Bellows Sign co in Akron, Ohio. The slightly vertical welds were much easier. We would always start with shorter rods, thus reducing the shake at rod tip. Galvanized coating produces zinc oxide fumes which are dangerous, but we didn’t know that back then. I always enjoyed fab work. Nice video.
ОтветитьThanks for the vid am teaching myself how to weld coz I have to fix my house and times are tough. Videos like yours are awesome.
Ответитьdoes this stick fit for motorcycle frame welding
ОтветитьThis will hep, I'm going to weld 16 or 14 gauge 304 stainless steel with 308L rod, for the side guards on a restaurant grill.
ОтветитьCan u drag rod on that
ОтветитьThis Guy is a Pro 👍
ОтветитьThe fillet is too big for that thin material 2 mm plate to 5 mm plate the fillet is always a 2 mm fillet always the thinner plate is the size of the fillet ! That rod he used looked like a 3 mm electrode he should of used a 1.25 size electrode
ОтветитьWhat about welding sheet metal with a ac stick welder
Ответитьwhich rod will you recommend for 4x4 or 6x6 tubular steel?
ОтветитьGreat video Bob as always. Great information always learning from you thanks and keep up the good work.
ОтветитьVery nice weld !
ОтветитьCan you do this with flux core?
ОтветитьCan u please upload a demo for 2F using electrode E6013 please
ОтветитьStainless steel 304 exhaust pipe 1 3/4" diameter 0.0625 wall stick welding? Thanks for sharing this one :-)
ОтветитьWould it be ok to stick weld a 18 gauge galvenized sheet metal ? What stick would you recommend ?
