MIG Welding Tips: Exhaust Tubing V8TV

[JonBiggEE]

fuck get your cone closer, your gunna go through a shit ton of contact tips welding from that distance

[drivin69]

way to much heat you would get the same result with a consistant weld with the right aperage your machine should have the right settings what happens when your weld is to hot it gets brittle think of steel when you have cold roll steel you can work with it , it can bend and be worked.. hot roll steel is like what you are doing is like glass sort of it is weaker and can shatter... a good weld is a good weld and your method has way to much penentration... just my advice i weld all day long...

[nightpwner]

Man you guys have the most interesting videos anywhere on Youtube, glad I discovered this channel. Most of this stuff is over my head but I still love it. Subscribed.

[poroptical]

Wow You are profess

[defax1]

this video is for kids under 10 years!!

[sibedogg]

Wont to much penetration make it britle as fuck and make it break again tho?

[berkelusa]

I used my Miller 251 at 19-Volts 120 wire speed tapping the trigger.. Very little cleanup and came out MINT! - I linked over to your Video also.. Thanks! -Rob

[MrHarborFreight]

Great Vid! Thanks!. Quick question: What is the advantage of sand blasting after the weld? I have a sand blaster, so I am able to do that. I hope it's not a dumb question....(smile).

Thanks in advance! I subbed your channel. Lots of good stuff on there!

[thegenrl]

wow thats bootleg but still looks solid and clean. thanks for posting this simple but effective technique.

[2013wabs]

this is exactly what i do my shop teacher thought that i was tig welding when he saw my weld, great video

[MazdaArai]

Cool gotta try this!

[eckowidow88]

Great video helped me out!

[blah1752]

Wow... Exactly what I was searching for! Thanks guys.

[malkooth]

Sweet.

[TheNoisePolluter]

Sounds easy, I'm not very skilled with my MIG I just burn holes and do sloppy work.

[ccmtor]

if you remove the coating first you won't get those air bubbles in your weld

[hypnolobster]

Porosity much?

[V8TV]

@hypnolobster Nope! And not one has cracked or fallen off!

[hypnolobster]

@V8TV

That's.. actually pretty shocking. Nicely done.

[glblb3030]

good tips ,thanks 

[Shaggydadawg]

This is GREAT! I had trouble with tubing before this vid... now it comes out perfect! I'm running a MIller 211 set to autoset .035" wire and max thickness (essentially maxed out!). With this method I tested some scrap tubing and it was the most perfect flattest weld I've made on tubing. The inside showed how good the penetration is (like yours). This was a huge help! THANK YOU!!! - Wally

[ttaattuuaaddoo71]

Hello there.

Thanks for the tip & i got also a MIG200 machine and after watching this video i did a better job on thin metalsheets, i was thinking it would go thru the metal but by shuting off the gas & using more heat (like you told) it helps ...

THANK YOU BROTHER!!!

[V8TV]

@ttaattuuaaddoo71 Sounds great, but I wouldn't recommend shutting off the gas, just keep the gas flow set around 20 psi to keep the welds clean. Glad we helped!

[ttaattuuaaddoo71]

@V8TV OOPS my fault...

It wasnt totaly shut, i just copy-paste your settings, so 5 mainheat, 0 pausetime, wire speed 5 1/2 & weldtime 1/2 :"P

Maybe my tags did not look as good as yours but after grinding it looks good & i had no open spots... Thank you very much!!!

[V8TV]

@ttaattuuaaddoo71 Gotcha. Feel free to play with those settings a little to make them match your material, you might have something a little thinner or thicker than we had. We'll be posting a video on how to set your MIG welder quickly and easily soon. How do you like the MIG 200? Ours is one of our most-used tools, and it's been going strong for almost 6 years now! Great machine.

[ttaattuuaaddoo71]

@V8TV yes man, i'll. I'm playing around with some pipes 'cus i want to weld exausts on my first chopper-project, i just started a few months ago welding and first i had a cheap-ass welder and it was fun to start but this one (MIG 200) is the real thing. I started doing welds on old frames (bicicles) but what i really want to weld is a gastank, also very thin metal, so i can learn lots more from you guys. keep up the good videos.

Cheers from cold chill Holland ;")

[CeznemDaTeZeznem]

great tip!

[local378]

Thanks that is a great tip

[tsherwoodrzero]

Wow, that looks really good. You've inspired my friend and I to pick up a MIG welder and do my exhaust later this week.

[Lonewolf3165]

Dude! Thanks for the tip! I've been doing it the other way, lower heat & trying to run a more constant bead around the pipe. I can see how the welds are flatter because of the higher heat. it puddles out flatter because it stays molten longer. Thanks for posting. You guys do nice work!

[SuperKudl]

Too much wire i think so ..

[TheAaronmonaghan]

nice welds i must try this out with my mic welder

[Enghracing]

Its much better too weld side in insted. If you know what i mean.. Im a welder from norway. So i have welded alot. The best is Tig of course. I just use Tig. But i use Mig on rollcages :)

[mrwiggles2]

Good video thanks for the tips

[TrackingPerformance]

humm that's weird people seem amazed that you can stick weld exhaust. that's all they use in exhaust shops i've ever seen

[matthewmarrs123]

is a lincon electric nascar performance welder ok? pro core 125 good?

[rthom86]

@matthewmarrs123 Flux core welding exhaust is a pain. Run some tests on scrap exhaust pipe, get it as hot as you can in very short burst. Make sure to wire brush the weld after every weld, its a pain but it will make your welding easier and stronger. Flux core welding tends to burn through thin metal.

[matthewmarrs123]

@rthom86 hey thanks for the tip buddy but if i turn the volts up to c or d the power starts cuts off in the house but if im welding a and b maybe c i tried it before on d and e and it shut the power off.

[rthom86]

@matthewmarrs123 If you can don't use an extension cord. You need to find a circuit with a bigger breaker in it. If you are handy you can wire one up in the garage with heavier wire like 10-8 gauge and a thirty amp breaker.

[matthewmarrs123]

@rthom86 im not that handy but it still works great though with what i use it for it's holding up pretty good right now. thanks again for the great tips bud.

[Pontiac65Cat]

@matthewmarrs123 what size breaker? My lincoln powermig 216 calls for a 50 amp circuit

[matthewmarrs123]

@Pontiac65Cat im not sure bud but it still works good enough but thanks for the tip.

[Medic1911]

Was that flux or gas?

[V8TV]

@Medic1911 That was gas.

[thanxx]

@Medic1911 did you even bother to listen to the guy or what??

[Medic1911]

@thanxx Obviously not.. you had to ask to find out? :)

[1992atb]

@Medic1911 Hint the word MIG lol.

[damz6969]

Excellent vid. Great technique! Will help me out heaps

[trdcamdon]

thanks...good tips

[dieselwarriordotcom]

Nice trick with the weld time, Ill have to try that..

[YouSpamTard]

Its just an exhaust tube, there should be no penetration to the interior surface because this affects exhaust flow, at least in theory anyway, one may be supprised and the applied physics, and also, it should be tiged, I would mig ,but thats only because i dont have a tig, regardless, i would not make that amount of penetration, no need for it

[ismasamov55]

I don't understand why Miller or Lincoln does not have pause weld times on there small migs. You get the highest priced model to get that feature

[Shamwowjack]

hey im a learner mig welder and like a fairly good stick welder i find stick so much easyer for some reason um do u have any tips on keeping ur hands steady when mig welding ?

[32tez32]

you are rlly badass

this helpd alot



[nathan1112i]

if you can handle the heat hotter is always better

[GlennnD]

whoa thanks !!

[NaveMucoy]

TIG weld it

[kriegdouch]

wow never really thought of that, using alot of heat i usually burn a hole through it. In any case, we don't have a tig welder, but i gas weld my exhuast some of the time.

[theflyinwop]

Nice tip,one of the best i seen in a long time.Thanks

The Flyin' Wop

[III6victor6III]

Man, that made good sense.. I'm gonna go try it out. Thanks for sharing!

[redco79]

I dont think an aluminum flux core would work well pretty much have to have gas and low heat like said. Flux core works best on a lil harder steel. Really nice video. Prolly use this on the olds shortly.

[TheCloudsFade]

I wanna try this now! 5 stars!

[redsamuraidragon]

Awesome Video. I dunno if that dude ever checks these vids on the net, or even cares to but thanks dude.

[V8TV]

Thanks! We do check 'em, and we're glad you found this one helpful.

[redsamuraidragon]

Cool Very Helpful. Ive got about 20 credit hours of college class on a Stick welder, but even at that, I never got around to learning pipe or mig. I just bought myself a little Harbor Freight Flux Core welder, and aside from the slag from the flux, it did a damn fine job welding my new Thrush Welded Dual Chamber to my Supra thanks impart to this video. I was gonna try and do it totally different.

[pyro8818ak47]

man this was a great video and DAm did that weld HIT what model and brand is that?

[V8TV]

That one is an HTP MIG 200, and we use it every day with great results!

[computerwala]

Excellent video from a real professional. THANKS!

[ammoguy5]

Great Tutorial, I am going to try to weld My Exhaust on My 65 Chevy truck. Best video I have seen showing how to do it. Thanks!

[SLRking01]

awesome 5 stars

[beckenheim101]

do it Hot and fast .... and that is it ! 5 stars buddy... you know waht you are doing ;o)

[t8sk8s]

answered everything :))))))))))))

[doc1559]

This is the most helpful video i've seen yet. Thanks alot for the information!

[davi200]

That's the first time I have ever seen someone else that owns an HTP MIG machine. I have the exact same model (the 200) and love it. Thanks for the great tip on welding hot on thin material!!

[brodsterxx]

hi sorry if this is a stupid question but what metals can you weld with a mig can you buy ally wire and weld alluminium

[pyro8818ak47]

they have aluminum wire for mig welders. alloy wire probably wont work. but with aluminum wire you have to have more gas medium heat since there is no aluminum flux core wire (that i know of)

[nuradin22]

tanx sir more mig welding clip pls nice teacher

[SchralperDotCom]

ok so what size wire ya using?

023?

cuz i used 035 one time, D'OH!

[V8TV]

Yes, .023".

[7018welder]

your right you can weld this with stick i've done it . it is a whole lot easyer with mig or tig

[JWY]

Wow - the camera survived. Your camera lens material blocked enough energy for the imaging components to survive. It's not a good idea to continue this though. When you go to weld you should first cover the camera.

[Carrera911xc]

Is that true? I haven't been able to find any info on damage to a camera from the intensity of the light. Would it be damaging to point a camera at the sun? Got any references? Thanks

[V8TV]

We've welded these continuous also, but to get this kind of flat welds with deep penetration, you need to go hot.

[CoolasIce2]

Great explanation. However I weld pipe using a Miller 180 at the #2 setting out of #4 and weld a continuous bead. Diff strokes for diff folks.
