Is this thing still holding up? Thinking about purchasing one for some wood carving bits
It's still holding up really well.I only use it intermittently but for wood carving this thing would be ideal
@@26feironworks79 thank you so much for the update and info
No cut and etch? Just curious. Thanks for sharing
I think more than anything I prefer.Doing destructive testing or bend testing I feel like it's just a lot more dynamic
Jim Gaffigan fan? Caliente pockets
Definitely a jim gaffigan fan
Hello my good sir, its it possible for an new beginner welders like me, because i do own one titanium 125 flux core welder and an Lincoln Electric Century FC 90 with skill and practice could get an job application and welding tests, because i went to school for it but didn't worked out for me, i do love welding but will properly wont going back to school anytime soon, so what is your recommended???
Hey great question so this is what I would do. There are lots of welding shops around that are desperate for help. I don't know what your living situation is, but you might have to move to where the work is. There are a lot of welding shops that will hire people that have not too much experience, but not too little experience. As long as you could read a tape measure, speak english. And show. Up on time, everything else will fall into place. I hope that helps let me know if you have any more questions. Also on a side note, there are a lot of general contractors. Who like to have someone on their staff that can weld
@@26feironworks79 Thank you such much for your recommendations
I recently picked one of these up, while visiting a local pawnshop. I've been using a little ESAB suitcase welder for some time in my home shop, due to me being too lazy to install the correct 50amp receptacles in my walls (since the shop builder installed the incorrect ones). Anyways, this little titanium welder IS AWESOME!!! I agree 100% with your opinions on this little inverter welder. It welds far easier than the ESAB inverter "suitcase" that I've been using, and is easy to strike and most important, maintain a consistent arc strength. Thumbs up and thank you for your review.
Hey thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated glad I was able to help
thanks for the video and your insights. if you had to venture a guess as to the chiefs HP what do you think it’s closer to? 1/3 hp?
Hey great question. I wouldn't even begin to know where to tell you the Horsepower of this tool when I do my work. I typically go by the feel of how much pressure I need to apply and how much material I'm moving and that will pretty much determine how much pressure I need to run through the tool to achieve the results I want. I hope this helps sorry, it's kind of vague. Thanks for the comment and the view.
KT Industries seems to have a complete line of welders and accessories. I'd try them if they were sold here in Canada. The plastic box packaging of rods is pretty impressive, and even has an inner plastic bag. Very nice!
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated. Hopefully, in the near future, I would like to do a more extensive review with these products. Thanks again.
Sir can you teach me the basics of stick welding?And get paid?
What type of equipment do you have?And what type of welding do you plan on doing?
@@26feironworks79I want to learn stick welding and I have the titanium 225.
Someone help me please I plugged in the desiccant filter and now I have no pressure coming out of my line
The only thing I can think of is making sure that you put the gauge and the inlet connector and the discharge connector in the right holes.Also , double check your regulator setting on the top There is a possibility that you may have just gotten a lemon.If so just take it back and get another one
@@26feironworks79 I did not use a gauge. I have a 3/8 hose with a thread adapter to fit into the in part, and a 1/4 hose with a thread adapter on the out part I can’t find instructions and I feel stupid and like this thing is dangerous
Addicting 😊
Jim carey is that you??
In the house
Who is this and how do you know that
Cant get it perfect either on my 15qmp breaker Gets hot 🔥
If you can see if you could put in a 20 amp breaker with some thicker wires. If possible run mine off of 20 amps, it works great.
@@26feironworks79 wire ran to the garage is to thin to beef up the box in the garage. Gonna have to spend alot of money to run what I want out there. They ran like 10ga wire as a main from the house panel to the garage panel... was newly done when I bought the house labeled as a 200amp service installed in the garage! Lol
@@adamclark94 Hey man. I was just thinking I'm wondering if you just have a s***** breaker. Go ahead and switch out your breaker and put in a 20 amp breaker. And just try it and just keep an eye on things for the first little bit and see if that'll get you by. I hope this helps kind of
Mine struggles with 7018 on 110 it doeant burn in the way id like it seems like it needs like 10 more amps or so. Got a yeawelder that goes alot higher and it burns it in better but is weaker at 70amps than the titanium
@adamclark94, what size 7018 rod are you using ?what brand?
@shermanyoung8185 3/32 mostly hobart. Some hobart rod is higher amp rated to gotta watch it. Most 7018 burn good at 80 amps which this can't hit. 70 is the low end and you will find in some situations it won't hold a arc well. Smaller rod or run 7014. Rated about the same but easier arc to hold. 6011 burn really nice and 6013
@shermanyoung8185 tried harbor freight and blue demon to. Demon is weird but runs pretty good. Also if you got a fresh pack of 7018 they will burn decent at first but don't store well even in a air tight container like what I got. Oven or buy em as you need them I guess. 7014 has been my go to rod it's awesome
Hi! Do you know an electrical angle grinder for these disks with a geometry like this (of a grinder)? I can't stress it enough how a small gearbox is important in an angle grinder, this allows for so much access at such angles... this must be perfect for cleaning fillet welds etc.
Hey that is a great question. You might wanna check Milwaukee's lineup of cordless angle grinders and diagranders. I know they have a pretty broad selection. That might be a really good place to start. Thanks again for the comment and the view
@@26feironworks79 Hi again! A little corrction - this pneumatic grinder has a small radial size gearbox, but the whole assembly is tall, this is also important as tall gear limits the angles. A partially worn out flap disk will require greater negative access angle for work and a tall gear may not allow it.
@deepdimdip I think I see where you're coming from now and I'm not aware of any companies that manufacture a low profile gear you might. Want to check with the European market such as metabo.Cause I know that Ten to focus on Specialty tools and market There might even be some specialty tools like that that are made in Japan. Sorry i'm not much help
Sorry, I meant to say low profile. Gearbox assembly or offset gearbox assembly.
@@26feironworks79 So, the ideal geometry of a gearbox is both smaller than disk in radial dimension and small in height so that it would allow working at angles up to -45-60deg.
Thanks for the disc review. Glad that you had time to put out a video. Keep them coming.
Great tips, my friend, i own a mig 140 and am trying to learn how to weld. So far, I am getting better, i think. Subscribed to your channel. Thanks
Hey, thanks for that much appreciated. Be safe and have a great weekend
Looks like their supplier made an error in production. Most if not all 4" abrasive products have a 5/8" arbor, whereas 4 1/2" and larger should have 7/8" arbors. Oops... Harbour Frieght just let them out into the world hoping guys like you would just make them work somehow. My only concern is you drilled away the center reinforcement ring and now that wheel could fly apart!! Happy grinding!
Hey, thanks for taking the time to post a comment and watch my video much appreciated. I have found that there is another brand of scotch bright wheel that Ace Hardware carries. It is labeled from KT industries. They work wonderful and they also have the 78 Arbor as far as drilling out the center ring goes. I don't think that the center rings really have any structural value. They are paper-thin. If you have an extra 1 or 1 that's worn out, take it apart and you'll see what I'm talking about.Thanks again have a great weekend
These bullshit over drawn introws for attention suck
Hello what extension cord can I use what gauge ?
Hi, sorry.It's taken me a while to respond to you.I've been very busy.Great question.I am using A ten gauge seventy five foot extension cord Running off of a solid 20 amp circuit. Hope this helps thanks again
Looks like ill be checking out a new die grinder! Thanks
Considering you completely ignored the low RPM detail, that cut great...for now..
I've used that saw blade off and on since I produced the video. It's worked great and I've had no issues. Thanks for the comment and the view.
Question. What is that black “tab” at the bottom of the water trap for? There is a RIGHT/LEFT arrows on the tab. Do you twist, turn, or what?
The tab on the bottom of the filter is a water drain. You simply just twist it and it lets the water out. I hope that helps thanks again.
@@26feironworks79 , yes, it helped a lot since there was nothing in the instructions, and it was very stiff. I was afraid I would break it. I assume you can turn it in either direction, correct? Again, I don’t want to break it. THANK YOU!I
I was able to talk with the manager at my local harbor freight and was able to score a really good coupon on this compressor so I picked one up. the overall build quality seems to be very nice haven't had a chance to run it yet.
Wow, that is nice and strong! Thanks for the information!
Never used the vulcan rods but when I went to welding school back in the day we just had shop rods no fancy bake oven for the rods and don't really know what brand they were but hey looks like some good beads you welded there wish I had a Big Steel Table like that Lol Good Review 👍
Good video. I bought the same welding machine from HF. I'll practice using scrap metal and eventually come close to what you showed in the video. Thanks. I liked and subscribed
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated. I use this welder regularly off and on since I produced that video. And I have 0 complaints for something that you can purchase off-the-shelf. I highly recommend it.
Wow, Harbor Freight had it on sale over the weekend. I was going to buy one. After watching this vid I am sorry I didn't. will wait for the next sale. Harbor Freight should be thanking you for that demonstration.
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated. I would feel good about recommending it for something that you can purchase off-the-shelf. It is a great welder.
Pretty kool man i like ur setup, I had a question I was hoping you could answer because for some reason my manual doesn't mention what it is, but what's the valve at the bottom with the flag knob?
Hey great question that flag thing is a value to drain the moisture from the trap I hope this helps thanks for the comment and the view
Hey, great question that flag shaped thing at the bottom is a valve to drain the moisture from the trap when you get finished working at the end of the day.I hope this helps thanks for the comment and the view
This was so helpful! You are a natural born instructor and great welder. Many thanks for sharing your skills.
Hey. Thanks for the comment and the view and the compliment much appreciated
How do u turn it off? Or can it be turned off when not in use?
Hey, great question. Thanks for the comment and the view. When it is not in use, it goes into sleep mode. And it seems to work pretty well. Since I produced the video, I have not changed the batteries or had any issues. I hope this helps. Thanks again.
I was looking to purchase 1 and i noticed at harbor freight that the ones that dont say "Professional" that they have a 1/8 " arbor not the quarter inch 1 you purchased
That seems kind of small. But if it will help you get the project done that you need to get done, then it still should be a decent tool. If not, just take it back. Thanks again for the comment and the view.
Great video do you think it would run ok on my 4 SCFM 135 PSI cheap air compressor
No, I recommend, at minimum, a Belt driven 30 gallon compressor at a minimum. If you go with this smaller compressor, you will wind up just frustrated. Trust me. I hope this helps thanks for the comment and the view
Thanks for posting this. Nice stand you made there too! Has that welder held up in the past year?
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view.So far, the welder has held up.Great.I've had 0 issues with it granted.I know there might be a few lemons out there.But I would still feel good about recommending it.Thanks again I hope this helps
@@26feironworks79 Thank you !
An Atwoods store just opened up not far from and I noticed they carry the KT industries rods. They have some in a black rectangular box and some in a yellow square like the one you have (6011 & 7018). The yellow box is a few dollars more than the black box. Any idea what the differences tween them would be?
The only thing that I could think of is that they may have changed the color of the packaging. For whatever reason, one is that the 6011 rods are typically a little bit cheaper than the 7018 rods. There's a possibility could even be 6013 rods. And those are probably a little bit less expensive. Also, thanks again. I hope this helps.
When limited to 110 access, what 2 rods would you reccomend for 70 amps? 3/32 6010 and 3/32 7018 or 1/8 6010 and 3/32 7018? Thabks!
Hey, that's a great question. All of the rods that you recommended for 70 amps. I think there are all great rods for running off a 110 for my personal preference. I would definitely go with the 6011 3/32
nice
I use them and also the spider drill bits from Lowe’s works amazing on stainless steel as well. You can also keep the pilot bit in and use that as a stop to make your notch out as well
Pay thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated
@@26feironworks79 your welcome I work on a lot of kitchen equipment every day so drilling in stainless not so much fun I’ve used every drill bit and hole saws you can think of and cutting wheels just got to drill slow . Give the spider bits a try they have the 1/4 bit so you can use them in an impact as well but the Hercules holes saws work amazing and so does the spider hole saws. O’Reillys has some Cobalt drill bits as well that work well as well.
Would be even better if you could somehow include a positive stop so you get the notch depth correct every time... assuming you're gonna be doing a ton of notching that is.
That is some great advice.But on this particular project, it's kind of a one-off and I just wanted to push all the way through and so I went ahead and took the shoulder off and it seemed to work okay.Thanks again for the comment and the view
Great video. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks man much appreciated
Thats awesome, never thought of that.
Hey, thanks, much appreciated.I was surprised also and it works amazingly.Well, I've had other viewers.Comment how they tried it after they saw my video.And they were amazed how well it worked for being a subcompact power source.It has an amazing amount of versatility to it.Thanks again
Damn bro I gotta get me some of those swivels like you put on the die grinder, do ya remember how much you paid for the swivel?
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view. Great question. They have them at Harbor freight. They are $4.99. They are under their Merlin label. Thanks again.
as a tig welder just gonna give you some tips, try some more post flow maybe around 5-8 seconds or so and if your working with CFH as a gas flow measurement its the size of the cup so #8 x 2 so 16 CFH of gas if your using LPM measurement its the same as the cup size so #8 is 8LPM and for stainless id also recommend using a bigger cup 12 or 16 with a gas lens have a good at BBW furick cups for example and the stickout of your tungsten should be the same size as the inside diameter as the cup AND a rule of thumb i heard from my instructor when learning it goes "Slag drag Gas push" basically you should move forward with your arc not pull back hope this helps
Hey, thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. Also, thanks for the view and the comment and your suggestions. Much appreciated. Have a great weekend.
@@26feironworks79 thanks you too bud id rather help ya
That's genius.. I've always used stainless steel and brass brushes or fine grit sandpaper when cleaning up stainless. Thanks for the tips!
Hey, man.Thanks for that glad I could help out.Thanks for the comment and the view.I hope you have a great weekend
I personally like fusion on light to med jobs. If the metal has angles that will have weight to it, I will add filler in most cases
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated. Feel like in some cases, fusion wealth are absolutely perfect. Because you can have a strong weld with no visible footprint, if that makes sense. Thanks again.
Your videos are amazing
Another great video. I saw these but never thought about using them like you did. Keep the hacks coming.
Hey thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated.I hope you have a great weekend
Great video. Very informative. Cant wait to try your suggestion
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me about the heat shield on your support hand?
Yes, I use the the Hobart brand or the Tillman brand the Hobart version is available at tractor supply. The Tillman is available pretty much at any welling supplies store. They work very well. However, they seem to wear out and get destroyed relatively quickly. I hope that helps thanks again.
Well that’s interesting 🧐
Funny thing i know all the 'experts ' say never tape the fittings but the last few bottles iv gotton leaked so badly iv been teflon taping just around the cone on my regulator works great completly sealed now but havnt found it nessary on my welders and that.. real nice setup youve put together with the cooler
Hey thanks for the comment and the view much appreciate it so far. I've done quite a bit of work with this set up. And I know the cooler is way bigger than what I need. But so far the set up seems to work very, very well. Thanks again.
