It is known that welding is not at all an easy task to do. So, it is very much important to be well prepared before you start with the welding. As a major form of welding, MIG welding is considered as one of the most cost effective methods. Also known as feed welding, this welding type consumes less time to get the job done than other welding techniques. Described below are few simple steps that will help you get the job done in a successful manner.

Know what? It doesn’t really matter. The same principles apply. If you have an old as dirt TIG MIG Welding Machine, you can still make good aluminum TIG welds. Weld beads that look like a stack of dimes.

Let’s face it. The level of your skills will also determine which boat plans will work best for you. Plans are not created equally. If it’s going to be your first time building a boat, I’m not going to flat-out and lie to you. You need to start with easier to implement boat plans like stitch and glue plans. Of course, you may try for other plans but it’s going to be more frustrating the more complex the plan.

Even after being informed about the latest processes used for coating quality steel fence panels, many people don’t know how they would benefit from having steel rather than aluminum. The biggest advantage steel has over aluminum is strength. Aluminum fences are nowhere near as strong as steel fences of the same size. If an aluminum fence is exposed to much abuse, it’s going to bend and maybe even break. This is something that needs to be taken in to careful consideration before installing one in a location such as a park that’s going to have a lot of people around it. Things such as kids trying to climb it are inevitable.

This is a continuous welding process. As long as you keep your finger on the trigger and the welding wire touching the base metal you will be able to wire feed weld all day. There are many different types and brands of welding wire that you can use for many different welding applications.

First off, if you are going to weld a thin sheet metal quarter panel patch for a Nissan Altima, no worries. Penetration will be the least of your concerns. But if you are thinking about welding something heavier like a home-built Hummer Kit using 3 inch square tubing with 3/16 inch wall thickness, that is something else entirely. This is a situation where you will really be pushing the limits of any 115v wire feed welder.

When it comes to doing an open root welds on pipe or plate the general rule is you must have a good fit up! That is more than half the battle. Even the best welders will have a lot of difficulty putting in the root pass if the joint fit up is poor. The ideal fit up should have a landing ranging between 1/16″ to 1/8 of an inch. The gap between the two pipes should also be between 1/16″ to 1/8 of an inch. Ideally you want the landing and gap to be consistent all the way around the pipe. It’s easier said than done!

In conclusion, when you’re looking to buy welding supplies you should always buy materials that will provide you with security, safety, and durability. Don’t just buy something that’s cheap because you want to save money, because in one year you’ll be buying the same thing again. Think for the long-term, and by something that will last you at least 5 to 10 years in you will be happy that you did. I hope you enjoy your welding supplies and have a safe welding experience.
