Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

baka it's time na for you to switch to something new...:chop::sampay:

@ jon,

Thanks bro jon, but what do you mean by me switching to something new ? Do you have anything in mind to convince me to shift or switch to a something else ? LOL 😀 😀

CHEERS my friend !!!!

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

I am resurrecting this thread for the mean time to add another worth watching video derived from Youtube, and base from these videos, it can really be done by using a very thin welding electrode, 1/16" and a very low ampere setting, below 35 amps.

Both videos have been uploaded by backstreetmechanic. :groupwave:

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Is there any 1/16 electrode available here? The thinnest i used is stainless steel welding rod and and i think it is hard to start an arc by just 35 amps.

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Bro, not really sure if its available or not locally but in the states, its very much available. If you are interested at these 1/16". you can by them fro Amazon.com, lots of different brands to choose from.

I might order some too in the coming days, I am curious and want to try this 1/16" rods on thin gauges sheet panels.

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Mukang maganda sa thin tubular yan,pag meron ka na put it to the test i hope it will run a single pass without blowing holes. Order ka na sir I'm excited to see the results!

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Sure bro, baka panga I might send you some rods to try thru LBC when I get some boxes of them 1/16" rods. hehehe

Anyway how's your metal project doing/coming, kinda excited here to see it posted sa PHM. If ever there are such projects, do make a new thread/title for it para madaling hanapin, OK.

TY friend !!!

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Kakahiya naman..order kana agad agad! Hehehe..can't wait to get my hands on that rod!

Pag naumpisahan ko na yung metal frame bed na pinagagawa sakin ni kumander,ng canvass na ako malaki rin pala aabutin baka mid march na siguro.

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

You can use naman the 3/32" rods just at a lower ampere settings. Go go go Bugel, start preparing the materials for the project, baka abutan ka pa ng tag ulan, hassle yan sa kalawang, LOL 😀

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Sir, rosy musta na po. Anyway, share ko lang po experience ko about thin sheets, dati I used to buy flux coated wires for MIG sa tutuban. Flux coated types not the flux cored types where the flux material is outside the wire. I used to cut it and used it as stick welding rods. 1.5k dati isang roll nung 1.6mm.

Re: STICK WELDING on thin sheet metal

Hello there bro Clayfigur,

Its been a while since your last post here sa forum, we're glad to see you post again. Anyway thanks for sharing this information here sa forum, this could be very useful for the metal boys.

Where exactly in Tutuban you get your flux coated wires, any shop name and direction. I am interested to try this wire specially for thin sheet welding !!! :whistle: :chopper: :groupwave:

Thanks for sharing this info bro ! :cool01:

Looks like a very good tip. I'd want to see some welds or better yet try it too.

tks
