Hobart Welder - IronMan 230 Mig welding Tips

The IronMan 230 hobart welder is a very capable machine.
This video is the summary of several other videos that show mig welding on thin steel, open butt root pass on plate, lap joints using both co2 and 75/25 argon/co2, and mig welding aluminum using a spool gun. ..enjoy

You are the one of the only welders on YouTube that knows how to run a bead

@EfEmDee I used a different machine for spray transfer. The Ironman does not quite enough voltage. I think I was on around 25-26 volts and around 350-375 ipm wire speed using .035" wire 90/10 argon/co2

I really enjoy your videos. I was glad to see that you had a review on the hobart ironman because I was thinking about getting one and I respect your opinion more than most on YouTube

I bought an Ironman 230 just before new years for $1250. plus free shipping. It replaced my 20 yrs old Hobart Beta Mig 250, a very similar machine. Am really happy with Ironman230. It Runs very nice. The 15 ft gun cable instead of a 12 ft. is nice, too. The only thing I miss is there are no lifting rings. I used to hoist the old mig up on the crane, to reach up high sometimes, and cannot do that with this new one.

I have this 230 rig and I love it. I weld trailer and more projects with this Hobart welder sense and have not had any problems except the spool holder but found a fix with silicone spray fixed it.

Well I must Thank You for taking the effort to give us this informative clip on the Hobart Iron man mig welder . Some really interesting views and narration. Over the lump myself and that tip does help I'll admit.

Always a great covearge of a topic. Thanks Jody. That machine looks a lot like the older MM210. That was a great machine and it would be good if Hobart brought it back out.

dis-advantages of the 2 types of mig flow meters.

Sweet machine, Welding Aluminium is fun

[ryanthomas]

I just bought one today and I like it cost wise still not as good as my miller

[koch]

Great looking welds, I wish they offered this in infinite voltage, tapped voltage limits you a little in my opinion..

[wyattoneable]

Wow, really nice work with tests to back it up. Thanks for sharing.

Sir! How do we know paintball co2 tank is empty while mig welding..thanks

Hey Jody, @ 6:57 is that a Hartzell fan in the background? I build those.

Being I am a retired pipefitter, I always dreamed of welding in a nice shop like yours. Do you ever doing any field welding?
