What if you're welding stainless? Can't use a magnet then, smarty-pants.

@Filebackup as much as i agree with your push/pull comment I have to say your other one is very shallow minded...."..if you cant pass a 6G your just a dumb ole wire burner and you best stick to........ fixing lawn mower decks"....Ive been a welder for quite a few years and have never passed a 6g test. I have friends who build cars/trucks from scratch and have never passed a 6g. Maybe that 6g defines your industry/world but not everyones.

@autuben22......being a welder and left handed I'd say your a jackass. Ever bought a miller welder??? watch the little welding 101 dvd in it. explains sometimes you push, sometimes you pull. But go ahead and tell an inspector it felt "more natural and proper" see if he passes you.

@BlackAsh Because you don't want to see the tacks on the other side.

[AUTubeN22]

its more natural and propper to pull most ppl would pull as a basic instinct so pushers are as useles as left handed ppl

According to the info this guy has 30 years experience. Then why is he welding like an idiot? The magnetic field he talks about, in my experience can be over come with higher temp, or a more solid ground.

how are you supposed to learn anything if you cant see what his doing

get a close up view with a sheld on the camera!

if you cannot weld vertically up hill with hardwire or flux core than you are no welder what so ever...period! if you cant do that then you have no hope of passing a 6G pipe test....if you cant pass a 6G your just a dumb ole wire burner and you best stick to tacking bolts on to brackets or fixing lawn mower decks

[filebackup]

anyone that say you have to push or pull is an idiot!!! you can do either it does not matter...i usually do both depending on the position im in when im welding..the only thing you can NOT do is weld down hill on a vertical seam..you can get away with it with hard wire but an absolute no-no with flux core---if you weld vertically down with flux it will break every single time because your just trapping slag in the weld.
