Re: Amperage for pipe welding
just a tip to help transition from overhead to vertical to flat on 5G. place your 4 tacks on the pipe as usual but when you tack the coupons in place to weld rotate the pipe to where the tacks are in the 1:30, 4:30, 7:30. and 10:30 positions. This way you weld overhead from 6 o'oclock to first tack....

Re: 7018 vertical down
You have to run the rod slowly. run your heat just like you would for flat and burn slow enough to boil the slag out of the puddle. If you watch the puddle you'll see the slag try to run down. In a way this helps cuz the only way i found to counteract it was to whip back to the center of the weld an...

Re: Inverters and 6010 electrodes
When practicing I prefer not to grind the restarts in order to improve my skill with them. However on a test I will for sure grind them if a grinder is allowed.

And it must be compact as i dont have alot of room. I'll post pics once i start building it. Any idea...

Inverters and 6010 electrodes
I'm currently looking at a Thermal Arc 161s machine to get some practice on my stick welding... And to do a few projects in my garage as it has TIG capabilities as well. I have been hearing though that this machine doesn't run 6010 too well. Has any one used these machines b4 and if so did you have ...
