- What do you mean action?
Are we on right now, really?
Seriously?
Doin' a series of pipe runs on schedule.
82 inch pipe.
We did tig roots, now we're doin'
multiple fills and caps with seventy eighteen.
We're gonna do a five G run today.
This has a tig root in it.
I'm gonna do a fill pass and a cap in this position here.
We're gonna be runnin' the ole
three thirty-two seventy eighteen.
I'm gonna run about 70 amps.
I know that seems low to some of you
but again this is a small bore pipe
and it's gonna get hot real quick.
I don't wanna over fill this, I do need a fill pass
and so I'm gonna run about 70 amps.
I'm runnin' a ESAB 285 today
DCEP, P.
So I'm gonna get things hooked up, we'll get to it.
(welding sizzle)
I started down here on bottom.
I kinda violated my own rule of makin' that transition
so pipe thing, but I started down here on bottom
and I came up here and by the time I got to
probably about ten o'clock, in here,
I realized I could be in trouble.
I like to be clear up here
but I wasn't able to get there comfortably.
So I put the fill pass in, I've saved the edges.
I had a little bit of a hump down here
so I touched it with a thin bladed grinder
and shaped it a little bit
so I have room to put my cap in.
I wanna attempt to get all my edges melted in
and not be real tall in the cap.
Ya know, I gotta stay within the eighth, okay.
Eighth of an inch reinforcement.
Let's see how we go here.
(welding sizzle)
(grinder)
So, again really quick, I mean we did a quick fill pass.
We did a quick cap, that took about,
took about half a rod to do this fill pass, real quick
and I got lost in my transition.
On the cap I was able to slow down a little bit
and it ran pretty much the whole rod
to come all the way to the top.
Three thirty-two, seventy-eighteen,
I ran about 70 amps, okay.
Couple cool products, I mean, I'm not sellin' this stuff
and I'm not, I just wanna tell ya how cool they are.
This thing is actually designed for doin' thin work on edge.
It's cut off wheel but it'll also grind
down in there quickly
and then the encapsulated disc.
You can get in here and get on the edge,
put some, this thing is not gonna spit wires and stuff
'cause it's encapsulated,
but you can get into it pretty heavy
and it won't flare the bristles out.
I've had a lot of people ask about
stuff that we're usin' on camera, so.
I hope this helps out and I hope that a,
that when you practice,
that you'll get really smooth, really good on this.
Again, these things heat up really quick,
so ya gotta watch your amperage.
That's why I drop mine way down to 70.
I know that's kinda low, but hey, we're all good here.
We're fused in here pretty nice.
