Quick Tips for MIG Welding Uphill

7

Your videos are great. Passed my first 3g mig plate test thanks to you. Appreciate your work.

Yo big dawg thank you sm for the inclusion of metric units as well… u a real one for that, great video ❤

It was like an educational class. Full of information. Thank you so much.

thanks for mentioning metric units for us over the sea.

This video is old. Thanks though for the best information

But what if I'm using .035 wire what would be the settings

yes v ups are trickier in steel the voltage and current are critically matched, amps have a tiny window of what is too hot or too cold
stick is easy but I sure am struggling with straight mig, using an inverter unimig 250, maybe need a smaller tapered nozzle as the nozzle that i have can easily trip on the weld. will try your methods,

Why would u not just weld downhill. It's easier to keep the puddle from dropping down than it is to push it up

Thank you very much sir! Your a lifesaver 😎

Is there much of a difference in settings with .035 wire?

How can I figure my heat

Thanks man. Been struggling with Uphill, this is 👍 👌 👍 👌

Cool

this welder doesn't miss a thing - good work

wish i could make anything close
great job
thank you fr your video

This is completely different from what we’re doing in class. We’re running 18 v 190 wire speed for our route pass then 16v 180 wire speed for the cap. I’m going to give this a try and see if this works better for me

You’re moving to fast and not stopping enough on the corners big mistake

I haven't done any uphill welding in a very long time and this is such a great refresher, thank you

thanks man.
gonna weld some structural stuff on a trailer tomorrow and the welds must look and be good.

Didn't clean your metal

you should, maybe explain, that you were on pulse and OFF the spray, stop-start is Russian Pulse, the idea is to lay in welds as fast as possible as a yacht builder we weld seams 20 m long , in ALU, positional as now i have only welds are very easy in Alu, but for me not easy in steel as i lost the use of left hand
being entirely comfortable is a must, do a practice run, with the gun not running, first over the length of the pass, in Alu I do 2 foot runs, backstepping after chipping back with a 4 inch saw blade
as an employer it took 5 years to train a man in all skills from welding to plateforming and 7 other trades one uses in our trade
great photography

Great instructional video

Is there a benefit to using thinner wire (.030 vs .035)?

Damn, I needed to see this TODAY. Thanks!

These videos are legendary 👨🏾‍🏭

Like your videos... i was specifically looking to see how you rested/set your arms to get a consistent weld. Thanks

Can you do a straight pull on uphill mig?

Damn. 290? That’s quick. I usually run about 19.7/210. I just ran like 18.3/205 on some square tube.

Excellent, as usual.

hello thanks for the video but I have a problem when I balance the weld I go down to weld uphill what is it due to?

Learned a lot as usual! Thanks, JD

I still watch this refresher these days just to make sure my technique is good.

This video is old but gold. Seeing the change going from 19/280 up to 20/290 and how it worsened the convexity really helped me in finding settings that worked well for a recent job I did. Watched at least a dozen different how to mig uphill videos and this one helped me the most.

What voltage & wire speed shoud be?

thanks a lot for your tips Jody! Ive learned alot from you sr
love your videos!

Awesome video!

Hey Jody, I really enjoy your videos you pass on lots of helpful tips, I'm a beginner trying to teach myself to weld, I'm fairly ok with stick, wanting to learn mig and it's a little challenging for a lefthanded fella. By the way I also started ordering from you online store, I really appreciate you.

nice great tips idea

Amazing work jody thank u very much for the tips 👍

Nice

Im in Welding school in Europe (Czech republic), I cant just do these uphill welds.. we are doing it like this : /\/\/\ and Im always left with ugly weld or just big puddle in the middle.. I try the upisede V method..

that was super, super helpful. thank you

as an apprentice my teacher just said xmas trees mate and work your way up and left me, learnt damn fast was a good start

Nice!

Thank you for converting to metric for us

I have my GMAW fin for school tomorrow, and I am studying techniques tonight, so thank you

Cool what would that setting be on a millermatic 210? Thx dan

Not going for super glossy finish

sweet never used either weave before, thats money in the bank thanks.
