@novacancyavailable: Learn something new everyday! If you struggle with MiG welding settings , this one is for you! #welding #builtnotbought

weldingNgambling :

the wire speed doesnt adjust the volts.only in pulse does it auto adjust

Kevin Kewley :

That’s basic 101 unless using synergistic system.

pieroshki :

on most older machines, wire feed knob literally just controls how fast or slow the drive roll motors spin.

Kim Hickey :

how did you not notice that. me. I've been a welder for years

Korheg :

I always think i need to turn my wire speed down when im not getting very flat welds.

Panda_around :

My mig welder from Amazon I got for 60$ has 2 knobs voltage and amps and my amps only go to 10

Joshua King :

I just follow the settings on the sticker in the machine 😂

randy mathison :

Come on 20 years and your just getting it now wtf o ya been welding over 40 years and still welding I make pressure tanks both ss and carbon my wire speed is around 600 and my amperage is unlimited as much as I need and then some .so u can weld using spray and u will get full penetration all the time and almost no spatter.so good luck and ya I have many tickets

No, Boi! :

I think of voltage as in how “wet” the bead is, more voltage, wetter bead, if that makes sense

8675309 :

I’ve never been taught about any welding. I just bought some welders and start using them. 😂 It’s so frustrating, because I don’t know what I’m doing and STILL barely understand what you said. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Someone.Else.92 :

You’re partially right, but still wrong. There are machines that can affect the distance. There is also your sharp/soft setting that affects how wide the current arks out. You’re also forgetting about the difference between short circuit and globular welding.

W(omen)elder ❌ :

The fact that people don’t know this, and they have welded blows my mind

Ryan Pfeiffer :

the stick out matters for this too

Tom :

Yeah well, your machine maybe 20 years old different than most machines these days but what you’re saying is not a thing on the machines we use

Elbowsup NS.🇨🇦 :

I appreciate the tip , thks ...👍

dalerobertson687 :

Gracias

Afroman :

my harbour freight mig welder makes so much more sense now

cootermcscooter :

duh

Neil’s Top Picks :

Frankie Dixon :

Wow

pontonjohn :

I have been instructing welding for over 40 years, very good explanation! Congratulations!!

GreenFrog :

Good tip

Matt Smith52773 :

Every time you say voltage, replace it with amperage

pat07999 :

Select your material & thickness and she will do the rest. 😬

bammer999 :

Are you getting proper penetration
