Using excalibur 7018 rods at around 90-95 amps, We cover a few tips for stick welding the cover pass as well as a brief summary of parts 1 and 2 where we did the root pass and hot pass with tig welding , I used an Everlast 160 sth for all the welding on this 6g welding test. sth stands for stick, tig, and high frequency start....this little welding machine is a very affordable and capable tig inverter that can be used with either foot pedal amperage control , or torch switch. I used the torch switch for this video but I had a chance to play around with the foot pedal for some other joints. Lincoln excalibur 7018s are nice. the slag seems to come off more easily than some other rods I have tried....and the excalibur rod has a slightly heavier flux coating that deposits more metal. This machine compares to other machines like the lincoln v155 and miller maxstar 150 models. Having high freq start is a huge deal because a no touch start is important on jobs like 4130 tubing. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/pipe-welding-test.html Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:33:30 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/997c3d35-4683-4c61-bf45-9b68ef07fa0c All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
