How to Use an Arc Weld : Running a Bead of Weld When Arc Welding

[wisdomtrek]

All told, considering IT'S FREE, it REALLY constitutes good value! And I'm part Jew!

[mccunecp]

hell theyneed to combine videos in to one not little 30sec or 2 minute and they dont have them labed 1234 ect hard to follow

[sprogdiklis]

i want to see that grampa welding

[MrVaderanand]

Did expertvillage actually pay this guy to do this video lol.

[0880T]

It is a pity that Macks videos are not

organised in a chronological order.

John on the other hand needs to relax. He reminds me of Lurch.

[kristinmcknight]

does expert village run an inbreeding program or do they only hire numpties

[Jaytheredneck1]

Wow, welding videos without any welding

[chaosflar3]

@Jaytheredneck1 He said he was discussing the THEORY of welding. Not the practicum.

[bigdonger111]

are you actually gonna do any welding

[felderup]

@bigdonger111 it's the theoretical portion of the lesson...

[bicycleabused]

i personaly have been told and taught that you should interupt the weld and if that a 60 series rod my instructor has told me u make a puddle then take it away let it partially cool and do it over and over again and in the end it should look like a stack of dimes tipped over

[Zinriusminazen]

Yes, you can do that with 60s :) that's the cool thing bout em.

[whompo]

jeez settle down.

its youtube.

whats the worst you can do?

[Zinriusminazen]

SPAM PROFANITIES UNTIL ONE SUBMITS THE THE ALL MIGHTY POWER OF DEFEAT.

[AlexMadsen87]

ask a welding engineering technician anything......reply to this...

this is not expert lol

[freddytk421]

Nice bead! thats a good one I am going to use that one. I have searched all over for welder jokes and couldn't find any do you have any more?

[freddytk421]

look up killabackrattler he has a video on here and has the best weld I have ever seen. I would love to see you produce a better weld than this one. I seriously doubt you could even come close or call him those names to his face.

[KillaBackRattler]

i appreciate that freddy like u said let tha haters be haters lol cowards all they are we no who the welders are just just by the comments lol

[speedoking199]

yeah, fuck the welder haters. I have a little clarke 120v and i love it. but seriously, FUCK THE HATERS!!! >:(

[freddytk421]

I have a harbor freight 120v stick welder and I love it too. and I agree with you cyberwelders are the biggest punk ass bitches Why are they so critical?Why do they care if other people can't weld? All the haters don't even have videos on here to back up what they are saying. If they are good welders I'm sure they can afford a video camera. I guess they just got out of a welding class and want to show off what they just learned in school. I have some videos on here but I don't criticize others

[klinkontriton1]

Dude your such a fag. Quit hating on us welders, or go eat shit and die.

[watercolorist7]

I am considering getting into welding for a career. I am concerned about damage doing damage to my eyes and impairing my vision down the road. Also the respiratory issues. Can you guys tell me whether these things can be almost completely avoided or not??? I am a visual artist so my vision is very important to me, Any advice and information would be much appreciated, thanks.

[bold1970]

just started a course............on my first lesson,2 nights ago,the instructer said NEVER WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WELDING,use a vacum close to the weld to take fumes away from you,im finding these vids a great help......good luck,let me know how your finding it.

[snocamo154]

If it is not safe to wear contact lenses while welding, what about regular eye glasses or bifocal eye glasses? Are they safe to wear while welding? Just bought a small welder and want to learn more about techniques and safety before I use it.

[jonhy2x4]

ummm dude silly question u can get optical lenses for welding helmets, you can wear glasses while welding and same with contact lenses use shade 11 lens in my opinion but it all depends on the type of weld u running like 300 amps use shade 13 but mostly personal preference

[Golemzzz]

grammar police strike again

[Nicodemus1389]

My fathers a welder and I take great offense to that comment. Not all welders "have an IQ of 50" and you're really showing your incompetence by assuming that.

[Sumermagor]

haha stick welding is the best, the shit welder who cant do it, you can do strongest welds with this, other tig/mig weldings broke easy

[Biginchblake]

actually Tig gives the most sound weld very rare for a tig to break on a guided bend test

[Synixhax]

Ozystud, you're dumb for welding without gloves on. And you're especially dumb for welding with jewelry on.

[dodico20]

oh i just watched the video response to this see how he studders? and the bags under his eyes? its from welding common side affects

google it

[dodico20]

agreed but as a welder we tend to shake breathing in such toxic chemicals... so i like to hide it with a little weave of up and down or circles and watch my lines

[ozystud]

Ark welding sux!! go for a mig or tig, much esier and neater weld. And always wear your gloves, i learnt my lesson, i burnt my wedding ring into my finger.

[GwaiiEagle1]

Yes, it does, but when money is an issue and you get a Miller Thunderbolt for free these vids help!

[wretchedhyena]

Why don't you learn to spell arc before you criticise his video.

[z0diacx]

ok, so when does he start welding

[deanguitars]

the first time i welded i did good but striking an arc is a bitch. the freakin rod kept stickin to the metal. i think thats gonna be the hardest thing for me to get used to

[stalkersas]

i managed to lwarn to start and keep alight an arc in 1 hour :) just do as the gui says, light it like a match, keep a 30-45 angle and if this dun wark, busst the amp a lil more. also i saw that if the amp is too low, the metal rod melts inside the tip of the electrode, and the flux remain like a 'cup' up around it, this making it throw mani sparks and stop verry often

[BassDownFL]

I disagree with how this guy is instructing everyone to practice. In the field youll never hang a bead by itself but you will do pad build ups. instead of running a bead then runnng a bead 1/8th of inch down, overlap your beads by 50% all the way down your plate. this was you learn practical objectives and save on materials.

[deyveizen]

want to learn more from you,,im a beginner welder.tanx a lot

[thelitleredman]

yea it burns specilly if you dont wear leathers and only wear asweatshirt XD

[nehhboi]

Slag is a dam bitch burns

[hazzo18]

wtf..why are my worlds so shit..my hand isnt that steady but i dont think that has much to do with it.

[bailey2829]

keep your arc length SUPER short and dont move beyond your puddle. dont move faster than you melt the metal.

[BassDownFL]

I shake too so i use a manipulation when ever possible

[trevorwinton]

oh australia is obnoxious? i think america pioneered that one! well a weld isnt a weld is it? fuck man, i could all that shit to if my head was up my arse and i wanted to be like you. instead i own my own business and laugh at losers like you.

[hopaloop]

twat, youve got to be american

[trevorwinton]

well i aint american, im australian.

[guitarman9057]

wats ur business called

[trevorwinton]

newsteel. we fabricate aircraft hangers and industrial complexes...

[stalkersas]

and u are a big showof, a teller, and an asshall, rasist and nationalist. rude, but true judging by your coments.

[trevorwinton]

and you are illiterate...

[trevorwinton]

its called manual metal arc welding you fucking idiot. i know because im a boilermaker which is a qualified welder...

[THEFAT209]

how long have ya had ya trade man i just started me 2nd year

[trevorwinton]

finished last year and am the foreman of my work. where you doing yours at?

[THEFAT209]

atlas copco :D how about u

[ironhead8814]

wheres atlas copco? i did mine in australia...

[terryrayf]

Your the fucking idiot pal, it is called SMAW "shilded metal arc welding"

I am a Certified Welding Inspector

Go ask an Ironworker their the true welders out in field.

[trevorwinton]

its called manual metal arc welding in australia numb nuts. also we have the highest standards in the world dickface. anyone can be a welding inspector in america...

[elliott0]

get off your high horse dick head im a red seal welder and red seal fabricator and 2nd year metallurgical engineer and i still say a weld is a weld wether it be in north america or Australia. the only difference is they wear bigger welding helmets in Australia for your big obnoxious heads ... ps ironworkers - FIT IT, OR FUCK OFF

[goatboat1]

Agreed.

[rydoo3]

the only way you can get better is if you burn rod theres no other way ... doing some reading on what ur doing does help! but dont read about and and say you can.

you need to work at it to become

a master.

[BanderHM]

It's very nice to have such informative videos in YouTube. We need more videos to develop ourselves.

[Seif5034]

i agree 100%. these types of vids help me a lot

[Arlekean]

TOTALLY AGREE!!

[iratecabbie]

superb post--very informative, thankyou.

[remain666]

I just hate the slag!

[robbiek69]

slag inclusion rules.... keep it up boys.

[MarioCorleone69]

very nice gist.Thanks for posting!

[JRFabco]

Boring!

[johnknoefler]

blah blah blah. talks his students to sleep

[gregcicles]

i could answer your questions about welding if you need :)

[chriss1152]

thats good i need someone like you

becuse i am about to put up a site

soon.and i,m going to need some help.

[Ivan2blastabich]

I welded my fingers together once. But my cat pulled them back apart. Then I welded the cat to the floor she is still there. Thats how I learned to weld properly.

[sangredelic]

Some really good advice. I understand how it is hard to film an actual weld arc, but maybe just some photos of ideal welds vs. bad welds

[Num1Pacesetter]

even though an example wasnt shown. Thank you for a well thought out and detailed explanation.

[wwwNooBcom]

yeah i wish someone would put up really beginners guide to welding

[chriss1152]

the only way is hands on thats it .

[MasonMsotsos]

i thought he was going to show how to weld, not explain it...

[torch556]

like said the only is hands on
