I started my own business... i do structural welding also but since i didn't have a lot of money to start, i bought a vulcan commander 225 SMAW machine from harbor freight and the SOB will not run 6010 of any sort..... so i have to run 6011 and 7018 only... Hopefully nxt month i can get myself a new miller or Lincoln generator welder.... i miss running 6010 5p+
I’ve been operating manlifts from 45’ to 225’ for over 13 years now I even trained other people how to operate them 90% of all the jobs I’ve been on I’ve alway been most qualified person to do training, love the feeling of being high off the ground welding
Nicee, Im up on a 6th floor catwalk welding some 4” tube steel to the structural I beams over at Tom Bradley lax, ive had my cert for a few years haven’t had the chance to use it, man was i rusty lmao
Nice video I have exp. In that genie way back 2008 in hanjin shipyard here in 🇵🇭🇵🇭 So proud that im a certified welder in Fcaw,smaw,and tig.process And thats my bread and butter. Keep up the good video like this. God bless us all. And always work safely Welder nation. Mabuhay pilipinas🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@SnD340 we have those as well (miller bobcats and a t.b. 325) it's nice not having to plug a cord at the base to use the outlets in the basket. Or run a cord up to the basket. I've also hung my temp lights off them and boomed it in the building for area light when needed. The all should have on board power in my opinion.
Shoot if you wanna simulate the field that Manlift is WAAAAY too nice. Ive been in some spot with those man lifts bruh, big ones too, the damn Skylifts.
Hi, might be silly question... but why is so popular using 6010 on root pass in the USA?I wanted to ask this for ages now, and I'm sure many people did already did... Here in the EU (ehh.. I'm in the UK now, but EU in general) we just use 7018on root pass as well. Nice video + machine!! I love Genie's and Nifty-lifts. When you welding from a bad boy like this, everyone knows you mean business. 😏😜 A few months back on a Canary Wharf job I used Nifty-lift 4x4 hr28 it was awesome!
I'm in Oregon and the coastal states and have never used 6010 in the field. It's always been 7018 or 232 wire. Those lifts are bad ace and I always request those lifts, but the boss either never gets it or it's broken. I do like that he's rocking the hardhat adapter. Very few guys use it, I think there great 👍 The vert in the video is pretty nice tho.
A structural welder may use a specific welding process and electrode combination, such as 6010 for the root pass and 7018 for the cap, due to the unique properties and benefits offered by each electrode. 6010 electrodes are known for their deep penetration and ability to perform well in challenging welding positions. They create a root pass with good penetration, which is essential for the integrity and strength of the weld joint, especially in structural applications. The 6010 electrode also produces a thinner, more convex bead profile, which is often preferred for the root pass in structural welding. On the other hand, 7018 electrodes are valued for their high deposition rates and the strong, clean welds they produce. They are commonly used for cover and fill passes in structural welding due to their excellent mechanical properties and relatively smooth bead appearance, which contributes to the overall strength and quality of the finished weld. By using 6010 for the root pass and 7018 for the cap, the welder is leveraging the specific characteristics of each electrode to create a strong, well-penetrated root pass with the 6010 electrode, followed by the deposition of additional filler material and the attainment of the desired weld profile and properties with the 7018 electrode for the cap pass. This method allows the welder to achieve a sound, structurally sound weld joint with the optimal characteristics for both the root and cap passes.
I been doing this trade for couple of years now, I know I'm a good welder, but still difficult to find work. Any suggestions on how I can find more jobs. I done online applications, but still seem difficult.
Hey Al, apply online and then follow up with a phone call and or in person visit if possible. Keep in mind applications get stuck online, you have to keep following up with them recruiters until you get that shot👍
Try going up 200 ft on top of a carbon furnace with a 300lb guy in the jlg with you and tig out a butt weld that’s surrounded by hundreds of conduit lines . It’s horrifying.
What is the reason for using 6010 root and 7018 cap instead of nr232? Is anyone doing this welding prosses in areas prone to earthquakes? I'm just trying to learn. I've been welding for 10 years and have never seen a wps call for this.
My guess... When a fitter plays ironworker, everything looks like a pipe. The beam he's welding in isn't coped correctly with a radius, it's done like you would in a fab shop if you were going to weld all around, even the horizontal welds of the web to the flange This might be done in a handful of spots like exposed metal architecture, but then why would you have giant glob welds? Those vertical root passes didn't get much screen time probably because they looked bad. Also then why have poor fit up from the start, with the top flange rolled out of alignment? The finished weld size relative to the material thickness is way too big and completely excessive. A good welder with that same setup could run a 3/32 vertical fillet on both sides, with no weave or blobby whipping, then groove the top flange and finish with a flat, nice looking weld in a single pass. Do the same for the bottom flange in overhead. If dune for finished appearance, the inside welds can be performed first, then back gouge and fill the top flat and bottom overhead grooves. I don't know what this was trying to simulate. If you want to show structural welds, use real world fit up with a gap and backer bar, not 6010. I'm with you, every spec I have seen calls for exclusively E70xx.
HAHAHAHA...He says make sure you follow the code as his alignment for that thickness is not code and his huge gaps for that thickness is not either, in addition didn't clean that rust off at 2" away from the weld. Plus as that is not a big project I can almost guarantee he did not open a new rod container and or the rod was not in a oven first so it was almost certainly over the allowable atmosphere exposer time.

Can we take time to appreciate how they go into detail and actually give you real world training of what you will do in the field
I would always enjoy taking the welding inspectors up, they were always very accommodating when you were driving them around 60ft up

keep on the grind brother, it will pay off in the end!
Ahhh Welding structure out of a basket, my first love . Im a Maintenance Millwright nowadays and dont travel anymore but i miss the life sometimes.
This is what I’m doing in my local 482 union 👨🏾🏭 best feeling ever
Badass. Lately i’ve been welding i beams in some houses that are being built. Pretty good timing.
Awesome work Brother. Genie makes some great lifts.

right on guys, thanks and well done...cheers form Orlando, FL, Paul

Great video showing what to expect out in the field good job 👍 Rosendo
Nice job brother! And that lift is sweet! I may need to add one to my Arsenal!
That’s baller content, man, I’ve seen quite a bit on YT at this point, that’s pretty unique. Which makes it next level. Less Go.
Se ve perro con ese equipo de trabajo saludos de mi Ecuador
Thats how you teach welding plus the lift amsizing work
Hola Rosendo buen video , no sé si hablas español ,pero me gustaría mucho un vídeo tuyo en español creo yo; tu explicas muy bien . gracias!!
So helpful, thank you!
Exelente trabajo y muy buena calidad de videos!!!!!💪
R Dub--What can the man NOT do?! Great vid.
Great job!
If you drive the lift closer to the work area so you don’t have to boom out as much the basked will not bounce as much.
I also try to push lift basket against something solid that also eliminates sway and bounce. Oh and leave helper on the ground they move all around
Great job thanks
God bless🙏 brother from 🇮🇳India

Good morning Master amazing jod very good welding
Love that Genie. Don’t have a need for one, but I still want it. 😂
They are neat. We've had to use them as generators before when the site lost power. Came in pretty handy
@@mikef6879 genie has generator but so does lincoln ranger and other welding machines with a generator.

Motivated orah at the end devil dog lol 🇺🇲
Why is all that steel sitting on 2x’s laying on the roof? Doesn’t look attached anywhere? Was this just all for show?
Slam that lift into the structure to keep it from bouncing at heights. 😉
Nice brother ! That will last 👍🏼
I like this guy
Good job guys awesome channel
Good Job 👍🏻. Saludos From NYC 🗽
Shoot if you wanna simulate the field that Manlift is WAAAAY too nice. Ive been in some spot with those man lifts bruh, big ones too, the damn Skylifts.

SHOW THE WELDS HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT ARE WELDS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE
what kind of safety glasses are those nice??
You left out the 1/2 in. Gap on dirt coated rusty steel, because a "fitter" put it together for you!
Try one with a gap, ain't always that tight of a fit up
I want to join the South Coast Welding Academy, please 🙏
Too bad 6010 isn't a pre-approved structural electrode by AWS
That lift should have been closer to the building.
I'm Solomon from Ghana 🇬🇭 I want to come and learn more about welding how can you help me .
Cross the border through Mexico.
You current ? Welding Rod size?
why does not mig/mag to use for that?
If I wanted to learn tig only, sCWa just teach tig?
How much is it to rent that man lift?
scissor lift
How you weld on vertical position?
