Killer Weldz Thread

I'm running 0.045 Radnor e71t in a Miller 210. I keep the volts up and the wire surprisingly low, but once I got it dialed in, I'm getting pretty good results! Like you said, I feel better about the penetration on thick stuff than I did with 0.035 solid. I need to try straight co2, we're using uni, but that's acceptable for the wire. It's fun stuff. I'd love to have a 300A machine, but I don't right now. Watch that spatter. It sticks like a bitch! I rarely use anti-spatter, but always use it with Flux.

Spatter problems nearly go away with co2 & the correct torch angle. And those high volts may be the center line crack issue?
 
I guess this goes here.

Some mig from today.

These caused some headaches but the students are learning to pulse and set it up.
 
I wondered when you'd start mig welding those. Your TIG welds looked awesome too but I think the MIG'd arms looks even better. Did you switch it up for production purposes or just to do something different? I'm sure it takes a few hours to TIG up a set of those arms.

Yeah its really just for production reasons. Since they're built from carbon steel it doesn't make a ton of sense to TIG them and it took too much time. The only arms we TIG now are the chromo LT arms

Hopefully some killer welds to be perfected in these booths. I won a small contract for 20 of these for a community college #welding program.

Seems odd that a welding program outsources a welding project

It's called government grant......and a brand new facility with no students to weld.

Easier to spend the grant money than to organize, design, and build them....

Are they doing any fume extraction?

Yes each booth will have its on regulated duct directly in the center of the back wall. It is also suposed to clean filtrate and recycle back to the room. But then I also heard they threw the air conditioning out the window. IDK for sure on that not my circus not my monkeys.But it will have independent fume extraction.
