You are a good instructor! I learn more from you than any other videos that I watched way far away! I am 78 years old and trying to learn some welding for a project and maybe some small projects later thank you very much gerry

These videos are great. I recently bought a 110v MIG and have been practicing. I looked into adult extended studies or local community college courses but they all seem to be 600 hour weld cert type courses, 4 days a week, 4 hours a day. So it’s YouTube university for me and I feel I am learning all I need to know for home use.

Hi Tim, I am 2 days into a 5 day MIG Welding course at the moment and have found your videos extremely informative. All of the issues I have been stuck on you have addressed succinctly and simply enough for this complete novice to understand. I shall keep watching for new videos and save them all to re-enforce what I have learned so far. Thank you so much

[summersoldier]

This was one of the finest videos explaining the setup parameters for MIG welding. Beginners and experts can learn a lot from Tim's video.

Honestly? These are the best videos I have found on YouTube, I need to talk to my wife about purchasing the course since they are the ones who bought me the welder Vevor Mig-270 which do all these things

For many welder, Miller's especially, that 1-10 dial for wire speed is actually in 100's of inches per minute. IE setting 4 is 400ipm.

I am taking the online course and it is worth alot. I wish I knew this sooner. Thank you for this video and your online course.

[franksmiley]

Your online courses are fantastic and thanksfor all you put in.

I have watched dozens of vids, but honestly learned MORE from you in this one video!!! I’m going to re-watch it a couple times- because your info pours out so fast and full! Love it! THANK

[dannymeil]

That was cool I went to welding school back in 2011-2012 and even though I wasn’t very good with it I did graduate and went back into construction. I was waiting for the housing market to turn around after the crash but the reason why I wanted to learn welding was to add another learning experience to my toolbox. I wish I could have seen your videos back then but I have more of an understanding about the things you mention. Thanks 😊

[derekbell]

Can you talk more about what a good pool/arc looks like?? What should we be looking for?

[duanedavidson]

Never seen any of your videos before tonight, I'm a an entry level welder and no one to teach. You just in 1 video explained every issue I've been having and how to remedy it.

Today was my first day at my mig job! The thing is....I have basically no experience. I went to school for welding, but mig was only 3 weeks, and that was 8 months ago. I mean I did the weld test at the interview and got the job, so I'm not terrible, but after the first day I truly realized how little I know. I have the motovation and the drive, but what we're doing here is soooo different from what we were doing at school. I already went back to school once to practice, but idk how often I can, im.gonna try agian though. I'v learned a lot from watching though.

I agree with the scrap plate tip. I always had a piece of clean scrap near by, to do my final dial in. Even though I already knew about where to set the machine, tips get a bit worn, liners get a bit dirty but not bad enough to replace. This and other factors will affect the final "tune in" on the wire feeder. Retired now, after 35 plus years.

[qivarebil]

I just love how easy You put that gun back in the holder at 5:03 - without looking! LOL 😂

[jamesyates]

Tim you such a good teacher. While I could take a welding class, what you provide here is such a good start to welding. Later on I may take a class but I feel I am well prepared to dive in and do it safely.

[bryce_hello]

Thanks Tim, this vid came at the perfect time as we just started Mig welding in my highschool welding class :)

[duanedorow]

I learned a lot from you showing the over-voltage examples. That was new for me. You do a great job showing the scenarios that come up and what the results are with different settings. Thank you!

[Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Tim, you are getting better with each video. Well done! Would love to see a video about transfer modes.

[flycasterbryan]

I am just loving your talks, we the followers of your site have learnt so much, so please tell us all about transfer mode.
sincerely Bryan.
