Fire Pit Project part 2- MIG welding with Primeweld MTS200
MIG Welding with the PrimeWeld MTS200
In part one of this 2 part series, I tack welded the pieces together using a torch switch and the 2t setting.
Then I used the 4t function with upslope and downslope to weld 4 of the outside corners.
I will place that video at the bottom of this page in case you missed it or you can see the whole blog post here
For the rest of the corner welds and the legs, I used the primeweld mts200.
There are a wide range of settings that would work just fine on this 11ga steel and normally, if I wanted to speed the whole process up ad get finished quicky, I would have used at least 200 ipm.
Fot for the purposes of filming the arc, I wanted to slow things down a bit so I chose to use a lower wire speed setting of only 150 inches per minute and 18 volts.
I knew it would work fine from previous videos I had done.
The primeweld mts200 also does lift arc TIG and Stick and comes with an air cooled CK TIG torch with valve...stay tuned for videos on lift arc tig.
Here is the part one video showing 2t and 4t settings tig welding the 11ga outside corners
I used the PrimeWeld TIG225x with a torch switch for tack welding and some outside corners
