WM Blitz Video #12 115 Volt MIG 2F Corner Joint - PrimeWeld MIG180

Jody Collier |

Material type and thickness was 1018 steel 11ga  .120" (3mm)

18.1 volts 149ipm using .035" ER70S6 wire, C25 gas at 25cfh

This is a 2f position horizontal corner joint.

It is only slightly different than a 1F flat position and certainly no more difficult.

In fact, I find it a bit easier just because it's more comfortable for me.

I am willing to bet that some comments on youtube will tell me things like

"you should always push with mig".

I think saying "Always" is a pretty strong stance to take when it comes to welding.

I like to test welds by the cross section method to see the depth of penetration.

I have probably tested more than 100 mig welds using both pulling and pushing angles and am confident in saying both work fine if you avoid steep angles.
