Quick Tips for MIG Welding Uphill

2 popular techniques shown and tested along with 2 different settings. 19 volts and 280 ipm for the first welds and then one lap joint using 20 volts and 290 ipm that was too convex.

This video is old but gold. Seeing the change going from 19/280 up to 20/290 and how it worsened the convexity really helped me in finding settings that worked well for a recent job I did. Watched at least a dozen different how to mig uphill videos and this one helped me the most.

Hi, I'm a young welder at a truck shop. I'm only 30 seconds into the video and all ready I like you. You have listed all my problems I have welding vertically and I know your gunna answer them. Most ppl on YouTube leave me still questioning things. So thank you for your style of videos.

Awesome video. I've seen all the uphill MIG videos that Jody put out and this one is probably the best. Summarizes everything quite well about the heat/travel balance that is required.

Always timely. Just finished a large job with lots of uphill. I'm happy to see that I was correct in my thinking.

Cheers, Jody

I have been watching your videos for quiet some time now and personally enjoy the information and knowledge you teach. I cannot recall though if you have ever done any videos on mig welding on thinner sheet metal. I do a lot of auto body repair with my mig welder and would love to see some videos on something along those lines.

I haven't done any uphill welding in a very long time and this is such a great refresher, thank you

Your videos are great. Passed my first 3g mig plate test thanks to you. Appreciate your work.

[sandykoong]

OMG THANK YOU! Teacher was showing me how to do it but not explaining how and i was like moving it side to side every 2 seconds not in a V formation. This seems so much easier!!!

[Abom]

Great tips Jody! I'm going to practice those techniques.

The 210 MP is a great welder. Its the one I am learning on and It is so much fun! Great choice!

[Symblotic]

Thank you for including the meter system!

Hey Jody, I really enjoy your videos you pass on lots of helpful tips, I'm a beginner trying to teach myself to weld, I'm fairly ok with stick, wanting to learn mig and it's a little challenging for a lefthanded fella. By the way I also started ordering from you online store, I really appreciate you.

Your clarity of welds look as if I were doing the welding great job and thank you for such good videos, jim

[ashleykolbuss]

Great video, explained very clear for a novice (at best) welder.

Love your videos. I'm welding Aluminium. Trying your techniques out.
Only difference seems to be, I need to move a lot faster the with steel.
Anytime you can do Aluminium techniques, I'd be grateful. I have watch all the ones you have done so far.
Keep up the great work.

@weldingtipsandtricks Thank you for the comprehensive video as always. Those must be hard shots to make, it amazes me how clear your images are of the puddle. Also, thanks for discussing gun angle, for some reason most people don't or it is assumed.

Good vid, I have a welding test today including an uphill weld, feel a little more confident now
