Welding with 6010: how to whip and pause

In this episode I cover how to whip and pause/stitch weld/etc, with 6010. This info will also work for 6011.

0:00:00 Intro
0:01:40 The technique
0:10:31 Let’s weld
0:29:39 The cut & etch and results

I was wondering why there are only 21K subscribers! It should be at least 1M. This is the best channel that teaches science of welding in a simple way! Thank you.

Just perfect for a refresher on how to use 6010! Thanks Greg

You're quickly ascending to the top of YT information for welding- Crisp arc shots, concise I've been farm/hobby welding for 35 years and learn something from each of your videos. I'll definitely be sharing these with my 13 & 14 yo boys. Thanks!

I appreciate all channels lending welding education. Some have clearly invested in the production an neatness. But the best is finding a good teacher. Well explained, to the point, i learn very quick from guys like this. He is one of my favorites👍

I have watched probably 100’s of hours of welding vids over the past 5 years, and they have taught me to some degree, how to stitch steel together with lighting. But your vids are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. I could have saved a good many of those hours if I would have just found you first. Finally everything I’m doing is actually making since, and for that I thank you!! Well, back to binge watching you vids. Thanks again!!!

So i accidentally forgot to release this video a week or two ago 😅. This should have been out before my 6010 uphill video, and that is what I referenced at the end of this video. Hope you enjoy this and learn something 😀.

Seems like 6010 is great to learn on because the fast freeze really exaggerates the effect of your technique—great feedback to have.

Thanks Greg for the excellent explanations during these tutorials. The term"arc force" was awesome because it was evident during the video. Using arc force, speed of travel, and arc manipulations gives great techniques. I find lighting to be very important for staying on the line. Try adding a spotlight over the subject.

[markdeitchman]

haven't gotten thru the entire video, but I must say this is great explanation of how these rods function. appreciate the detailed analysis. good job!!

[Pure-Blooded]

Keep it up and eventually you’ll hit 100k subscribers. From one of your original student ! Thanks a lot

[retirementhobbyfarmdiyadve]

Outstanding video. I really learned a lot from watching you!

[Cptnbond]

Absolute love your comments and the analysis that follows. I guess these results also apply for 6011 (which I have), albeit maybe with somewhat less penetration. Good stuff, Cheers.

Quick question, started your channel a few days ago and binging through your vast knowledge and teachings! Thanks for everything, was wondering, do you ever do a video on smaller sheet metals? Or give tips on rods/welds for smaller materials or good techniques. Want to get some good tips before I burn holes in some tool boxes before actually fixing them 😂

When I was on the pipelines, every weld was x-rayed.

[RR-wddo]

Grest videos. I was wondering can you share how long you've have been welding, ?How you got started...ect? Thanks.

Nice stuff man. Still keeping it real with nice detailed real world stuff :)

Speaking of real world, and 6010/6011, If you are bored, perhaps a video on 6010/6011 vs 6013 vs whatever for welding thin (14-20 gauge) metal in fillets, butt, etc. Recently repaired a lawn mower which needed replacing a chute kind of thing, probably about 3 feet of weld on 20 gauge, and it was quite the learning experience. I personally found 6010 on electrode negative at around 25-35 amps depending on the weld type, to be the easiest and most reliable, using very quick little circles and moving fast along the weld seam.

I really really struggled with 6013, even though they were 2mm / 5/64 rods. The 6010 was 3/32. 7016 (twin coated, Kobe LB-52U) also worked quite well with quick weaves, though tended to do short runs of a few inches before it looked like it was about to blow through.

For the life of me I cannot seem to get 6013 to work reliably on actual thin metal no matter what I try, but I keep reading and hearing that it's the rod for thin metal. :)

Anyway, 6010/6011 are awesome, very multi purpose rods, cheers for the video and keep up the good work :)

[jaaaaaaarocks]

What rod do you recommend for thin, rusty, vertical welding?

[DG-fnqg]

Your cut and etching is a great way to show the effectiveness of what you're doing. Great job!

[slowblls]

After hearing all this and that about 6010, I’m not a huge fan. I’m sticking wit 6011 for the win. But I will say I hated 6011 when I first started stick welding couple months ago. So it’s possibly me being as shitty as them milawaukee M12 die grinders 😂

Greg, question for you. At time 12:30 into the video, you state that your ability to see a reference point for laying a straight bead is impaired. Is it the limitations of the welding helmet or ?
