This machine will burn a 1/8″ (3.2mm) 7018 rod all day long.
…and at around 40 lbs. thats pretty darn impressive for a machine that is primarily a Mig welder.
In this video, I go over CLAMS for stick welding
CLAMS stands for …Current, Length of Arc, Angle of rod, Manipulation of the electrode, and Speed of travel
Its an easy way to remember those important fundamentals of Stick/Arc welding.
What about you? got any stick welding tips to share?
like your favorite rod, or tricks for restarts?

Great video and great instruction as well. Very detailed. I’ve replayed the video a few times until I finally got it. lol. as I’m just a newbie to welding so gotta learn a lot.

Hi Jody,
That was a pretty cool video you put up today mate. I recently did a job and used a 6013 root run with 7018 top pass. It turned out alright mate but please any more ideas like the file with the teeth cut in it mate can you include that as well.
Cheers
Dave
