mark here with Eastwood today on the rd quarter we're going to talk about mig
welders what we have to do is test our make 135 against Lincoln's sp1 40 but a
bunch you guys also had some questions about sheet metal work
what we're going to do is show you some of the tools that we have some of the
tips and techniques
let's get started
what we got here now is Lincoln's sp1 for TT is at a Planned transformer
so you have your five different volt settings here and then your infinite
wire speed adjustment on there
what we do is we set everything up as per the instructions inside the unit you
saw that for the sheet metal and also going to go ahead do the same T weld on
the 18 plate
now this is a true big type unit here it's DC rectified
so let's go ahead test this guy out
yeah
all right
the stitch well he went real nice on it
trigger drive motor real nice can complete a couple stitches that's
basically that's what I would have done coming across the seam here what we
wanted to run some B's just to see if we get any burn through which it did not
which is good just did little half-inch guys there and then on the plate looks
like a good penetration here was just on the settings had to turn wire speed up a
little bit more and now to get it to burn in there just had to do like a
little see motions coming through here
now let's check out the good welder all right what we got here is Eastwood make
135 like the Lincoln
this is a rectified DC output machine 235 amps has continuous wild transformer
which instead of just your five preset settings you have infinite voltage
control here from about twenty to a hundred thirty-five and same thing with
the wire speed
let's go ahead as pretty chart we're setting this up be4 is the starting
point for the sheet metal so we'll go ahead and do that and then get right
into the 18 plate
yeah
same thing looks up at least visually pretty equivalent to the Lincoln got our
stitch stitch welds over here a couple little short feeds like we got the
penetration in there he said to go I to do is tweak it from the initial setting
in the instruction book was a nice six
decided to tweak the wire speed up and again like the nice thing is you can go
between your voltage adjustment so on this one here whereas the Lincoln when
you only had a b c d e five points on here so that was a nice so tweaked they
could get in there
feature for feature these things are about identical this unit being about
half the price

all right first product I want to show you are pinched well clamp
these things are must-have for any auto body work
what you can see we have here is just clamping these two strips together for a
butt weld tremendous clamping pressure
these things are great on rear fenders holding the inner fender lip to the
outer for the spot welds in there
alright the next one our inner grips
these things have been a staple in the sheet metal industry for years
basically what you have is two pieces to this tool here I have two of them
already on the paddle
these are what you want to use for but well let's say that this may have been a
lower skin on a door or you're hanging a full replacement quarter
go ahead and set the approximate gap with this piece in the rear
now about the only place they're not going to work his own rockers where
you're getting up with a closed box you won't be able to retrieve this part for
any of the other panels for bench work this is perfect so go ahead that comes
in a kit for i only need three on one here
what we'll do is we'll go ahead and tack a couple of these on here
there you go we put a couple tax on this
as you can see the gap created and held by these inner grips is the perfect app
for the 0 23 mcgwire going down there you'll be able to just put a couple
spots in there and then stitch well this whole seam what you saw there was our
spot weld kit
what this does this kid gives you these four pliers here which clamp the two
pieces this is great for right down rockers any type of pitch well they have
and this nozzle design with these two standoffs here
it's right in between the fork there what it does is it gives you the
consistent standoff distance from your tip to the material so that each one of
your spot weld is going to be duplicated and equivalent on down there
give you a nice look of just like the only resistance wealth
let's do a couple more
yeah
- quick tip for you first off well-done this seemed what we want to do is
prevent any kind of warpage so you can't just start at one side and just think
you're going to run a continuous beam across here
this medal is going to move when you like there's nothing what we want to do
is stitch welding stitch welding basically taking the gun to help holding
this trigger for a second
moving to the next area come back zap zap second at a time i'll show you this
what you want to do is continue to move around your panel so you disperse the
heat out there
once you start getting close you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer
for it to cool
second thing this panel here
it's no problem to get your ground clip1 hear what you want to do with mig
welding is get your ground as close to your work area so areas where you might
be doing a floorboard
you can't clamp onto anything here just take a common bolt
go ahead and weld him onto the piece trick though only weld one of the six
flats that will give you a nice solid electrical ground but then also let you
come by with a hammer
simply break it right off lets stitch a little bit of this scene here show you
what you mean
yeah
alright so we showed you some of the tools that we offer that make sheet
metal work easy and it is a little bit of practice you'll be hanging quarters
we also showed you our unit against the Lincoln you feature for feature these
things are about identical this unit being about half the price

yeah
