WELDING TECHNIQUES

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by blackiceI love my Miller Elite "29 Roadster" mask. I'd never switch back to a cheap one again...  ---------------------------------------------I agree, Miller Elite is where it's at. That auto dark takes a bit to get used to. It's nice to have when TIG welding or MIGing in a tight spot where you don't have much room to flip down your hood.

well i know with mine there is some times it has burned threw the 1/4 so i guess its burning hot anuuf for what im using ...i am sure ill never have to weld anything over 1/4.. plus the only thick shit i ever been seeing geting welded to anything bagged is for drag plates and i dont need them so im fine

so if i turn the heat up i can stitch weld everything? just making sure i read that correctly

why would you want to stich everything? just curious

if you read back on page like 8 they state you can stitch everything and it will work just as good

Has anyone got any pics  of welds or techniques they use using a mig with flux core wire? I know theyre not as pretty as regular mig and tig.  I've got a flux core mig and I'm getting pretty decent and making welds that look ok.  Arent too great because I have a shoddy 90 amp Harbor Freight flux machine.

Deric with flux core push your puddle dont pull it! Dont be affraid to turn the heat up a bit. I dont use it at work or at home so I cant post pics for you.

there is a MIG weld i did. I have only picked up a welder about 6 times. Still learning and trying to get a hang of it. I do circles or e's however you want to say it. It's a Millermatic 100 ? Don't know for sure, it's nothing amazing but I can use it whenever I want to practice really and using it more and more.

These are both done with flux core. I actualy like flux core on thicker metal since I only have a 140 amp. And it does frame work fine. I also pull my puddle.





I won't use flux core on sheet metal tho. Just burns it up.
