Re: MIG Welding Newbie

sir JayL ask ko alng po ano po AWS # nitong Lincoln Easy Grind MIg Wires? TIA

Hi .

First off I stand corrected here as it's only now that I noticed the typo I made. Esab makes the Easy Grind Mig wires and not Lincoln.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Don't forget to prime the holes and if possible the inside as well.

Thanks Moji.

I primed and painted the inside first before I started the repairs.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Some of the small stuff I fabricate and Mig weld in the shop.

I cut these shapes on 5mm plates using an oxy acetylene torch. I then work out the final shapes using the bench grinder, hand files, flap discs and hopefully a belt sander when I acquire one.

I always pre load my files with chalk when I file metals ... Two steps ... Bastard Cut then Smooth Cut.

My favorite angle grinder for light work. Variable speed. Very manageable body shape and weight for contour grinding.

The hooks and tool steel bars go to the drill press then are Mig welded together. WIP ready for painting now.

These are Bobbin Hooks for Yamaha R1 & R6 and other big bike paddock stand. I do get a lot of orders for these but seldom accept. It's very monotonous to build.

It's not mine. It belongs to one of my clients.

IIRC he paid around 300+ for it brand new. Not a bad price for a 600cc Twin piston bike.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Welcome bro. I wanted to change gas from 80/20 Argon + Carbon Dioxide to 75/25 but asked Miller guys about it first. It's there where I found this info. If you want to read more then here is the thread.

Re: MIG Welding Newbie

Today I will weld the table top. The strategy is to tack weld it in small runs so as to minimize additional distortion.
