Great video guys. My son bought me a stick welder to learn on. Glad he did. I'm just a DIY'er. I'm using 7014 rod.😊
A Lincoln 225 buzz box was my first stick machine and still have it. Well good video by the way.
Great video. Thanks. Very helpful.
Excellent video. Very helpful.
Excellent info!
so for those of you in a rush, video basically said MIG has more going on, it's more convenient if you know what you're doing. Stick is cheaper, harder to screw up welding with it, takes less skill to master. Cheaper when things go wrong.
No one thinks stick is easier than MIG, once machine is set up, its a piece of cake. Stick takes a very steady hand, practice, especially striking that arc on 7018 takes time to master.
Cool points! Question I have does one weld better than the other?
I love Chucky's laugh!
Nice!
Good video...
Second the motion - I like That Too
A cheap arc welder will do its job, pretty much consistently well. A cheap mig welder will give you more headaches than its worth so if you're going mig, make sure you choose one that will definitely output enough current
I prefer SMAW due to simplicity of setup and the versitility of high cellulose rods.
You can also use an AC buzzbox and a twin carbon arc torch to substitute oxyacetylene.
There's always flux core wire welding. It can produce decent results - no gas.
Hi guys, Great vid,
I’m new to this.. Should I buy a mig machine that has the ability to stick weld or do I get a dedicated stick machine? Thanks in advance 👍🏽👍🏽
Learn stick, everything after that will seem easy, even TIG.
My dad has been doing auto body work for 45 years, he never used mig or tig only 0.8-1mm E6013 electrodes!
He is a star, its a complete B***RD to weld thin on stick!. Chasing holes.
Just wondering if your a member of A.W.S. I joined after taking welding classes in college.
Stick is much more amateur friendly, can weld "dirty" metals a bit easier and is much easier to use outside where environmental controls are less of an issue, ie. windy, dusty, ect. It is much easier to use MIG in a shop environment where fumes are an issue, you better have plenty of ventilation if you are ARC welding in a shop. If you want to weld at your kitchen table..... buy a TIG machine... 😆 🤣 😂
Try a 6G with the Stick and use flux cored wire with the Mig and then you’ll need an extractor fan ! Mig is only classed as semi skilled but stick is skilled and also Tig which replaced Oxy/Acetylene
You can't GMAW in the wind.

great to know any stick works with any metal and any amp and voltage. i guess stick wins, and based on the paper is much easier to use. just hit the stick to the metal and im good to go
LOL, good luck, its really not that easy.
You can weld in some wind with a stick welder .
as with a flux core machine.
Yeah, its bean friendly.
Dinosaurs laid eggs. Eggs came first. The first chicken evolved from an egg laying ancestor hence egg came first.
I guess cheap Flux Core machines threw a wrench into all this reasoning.
Lincoln electric tombstone 🪦
Eggs came first. Dinosaurs laid eggs.
Chickens are Dinosaurs
Welding thin sheet? Buy a Mig.
Welding anything else - buy a stick. If it has to be tough & take stress, buy a stick. Any stick-welder.
If you're buying a Mig, buy a good Mig, spend the money (you're already balls deep if you're buying a Mig - might as well do it properly - do what she does when she buys shoes/a handbag - lie about the price - it's acceptable in this case) - cheap Mig welders are almost always nasty. If Retail is 100 bucks, it cost 20 bucks to make - you can't build a Mig for 20 bucks. So don't buy 100 buck Migs. Buy one where the price hurts - you'll forget the price, you'll never forget a crap Mig machine you struggled with.
If you're buying a stick welder, buy any stick-welder - cheap is fine - the quality of stick welding is defined by the quality of the nut holding onto the stinger not the brand name on the side. Hint - You're the nut holding the stinger... Educate the Nut.. You can stick weld off a car battery if you really have to - Hint: stick welders can be built OK on the cheap. Migs not so much.
If you're buying a Tig & know why, chances are nobody needs explain welding to you. If you're buying a Tig & are unsure why - buy a stick welder instead - preferably a cheap one. Tig is OK if you're getting paid by the inch for "Special/Pretty" - if you just want 2 bits of metal joined together, avoid Tig, buy a stick - and buy some good 7018 or 6013 rods - don't cheap out on the rods. Good rods can be the difference between crap stick welding & passable stick welding - passable is always nicer. If it doesn't break after you glue it together, you're winning - sticks the easiestish way to get there. I started welding with a crap-as-can-be Clarke stick welder age 15 - crap as it was, it did exactly what it said on the tin. It was the nut holding on the stinger that needed fettling, not the machine. I fettled that nut.
TLDR? Wanna weld? Buy a cheapo stick welder & learn how to use it properly. Work from there.
I’m that welder that gets paid buy the inch aka piece rate tig welder if anyone wants to see my work check out some of my CZcams shorts #thatdamfishingguy by the way this guy is right and not to mention you can you the stick machine to tig weld do it all the time
Muy buen comentario amigo 👏
Dude, you just said exactly my thoughts about stick, mig and tig welding. To me stick welding is always first
Exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks James!!
@@mark_luna I would add that Yeswelder - who don't pay me - sell a stick machine for about 80 quid. I bought one. It is tiny & is also AMAZING. Rods will not stick to the workpiece - computer say no - so you will rapidly learn how to weld good using one & they weld as good as or better than ANY other machine at any price point I have ever tried. They are amazing little cheap machines. Buy one. Thank me later. :-)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Stick it is
fluxcore..best of both worlds..so the answer is mig..a mig can stick and tig
Depends on the MIG, many do not have power outlets.
Stick welding & gas welding will be better ?!
Anyone that thinks stick is easier than MIG is going to be in for a surprise, ignoring set up time, stick takes far longer to master.
First chicken and later egg.
The egg would have come first not the chicken. Any evolutionary step/advancement would have to start with the egg, certainly not laid by a chicken but the leap from x to chicken would have happened in the egg not the fowl that laid it.
The egg came first.
And the "secret" was?
It's a secret......or perhaps you've been scammed
@@stevec9653 🤣🤣
SMAW is much easier and cheaper to get into.
ProRancher is a mediocre welder for choosing GMAW over the most original welding process known to man. The real life equivalent of a noob.
I could just tack on sheet metal with SMAW if I must weld thin-gauge material.
With that said, spool guns can be very useful. But welding aluminum with fluxed-core aluminum rods and a twin carbon arc torch is much cheaper. I might feed sulfur hexaflouride or argon to a such a torch later and mimic atomic hydrogen welding.
Come on man. Be fair. You have to find the right wire speed and voltage on mig, which are on the box already, but you don't have to find the right diameter electrode and the current for the stick?
U think those settings they have on the cheap suitcase welders are accurate on mig ? Lol stick is much easier then mig..to make it do its job and get gd penetration etc anyways ..
@@trevorstrutt1 Have you actually tried stick? striking and maintaining an ARC on 7018 can take a beginner weeks to master, maybe a year to get consistant good welds, MIG took me like first try to get a decent looking weld.
Learn stick first
Sorry, but you’re wrong, the egg for sure came first. The question is not “What came first, the chicken or the chicken’s egg?”, the type of egg is not specified. Aquatic eggs for sure came first, in fact, that’s how life moved from water to the land.
