Lincoln claims the SP-135T will weld 3/16" with a single pass and up to 5/16" with multi-pass using flux-core. While Lincoln also claims it can do 3/16" using 0.035 solid MIG wire, I don't think the possibility of lack of penetration is worth the risk. Would love to get a 220V machine but can't afford it now, may be able to rent one though.

I got MINIMAL warpage on the welding passes. I did screw up grinding and got too much heat in a spot, but at the time I was using an 80 grit flap wheel. That was a mistake. Switched over to a hard grinding wheel and cleaned up the welds w/o spending too much time in one spot. Finished up w/ 80grit on a DA.... Smooth as silk.

For weld preparation, start with a less coarse option and increase in aggression only as necessary. With heavier coatings and mill scale, the best option is usually a grinding wheel or a flap disc. Flap discs are commonly used in weld preparation because they are easy to control and you can grind, finish, and blend all at once.

If I am understanding you, your metal at the weld is to thin and not looking too strong after you grind it smooth to the base metal. This sounds like you have the heat too low on the welder. Mig is a "short' arc welding process. And you can control the length of the weld.

Tack welding is an important welding process that most welders will become quite familiar with their career. Tack welds are essentially temporary welds that help to hold two metals in place. The main purpose of the tack weld is to hold the two pieces of metal in place while you apply the actual, final weld .

Inherently MIG welding steel does not need the metal to be perfectly clean. On the other extreme, TIG welding aluminum requires contaminant free metal to create a strong clean weld. In all of the examples below you can see the difference the dull color of the "new metal" (left) compared to how it looks after it is properly prepped (right).

When I get done, I either remove the screws and fill them by welding, or cut off the excess, grind it smooth, and follow with a spot weld over it, and grind it smooth again. FYI, if you lap weld, make sure you use weld-thru primer on both surfaces that are overlapping. Hope this helps. Last edited: Jul 17, 2012.

Grinding wheels should be the choice for carbon steel. They will remove the weld seam quickly and since the appearance of scratches are not such an issue compared to stainless steel, are ideal for this operation. Typically, in the spectrum of 5 to 35 degrees to the horizontal (depending on the grinding wheel used) should be the target.

Cannondale doesn't grind their welds, they are created smooth by the welders.

In general, grinding welds is not necessary and is a purely aesthetic choice. A weld is not any strong after it has been ground, in fact it is often slightly weaker. In some cases, oxides and remnant slag can also be removed through grinding which can increase the life of the weld.

It's hard to get a smooth, straight weld bead if your arc is wandering. Instead of grinding around the rod, grind along the length of it. The long axis of the rod should be parallel to the motion of the grinder wheel. This will produce straight grooves that channel the arc toward the rod tip. Grinding this way gives a smooth and steady arc. 4.

After doing your weld, grind the weld slightly flush and apply a skim coat of epoxy filler to the area. When the epoxy cures, finish sand the area and refinish. Epoxy is also used to reinforce welded repairs. Even after welding, the welded joint will not be as strong as the original plastic.

1,127. Oct 14, 2008. #3. No, the weld is not stronger if ground flat. Properly formed butt and fillet welds can be assumed to have the same strength as the parent metal in tension, shear and compression. If you grind the weld bead off, you will inevitably remove some of the parent metal and so make it thinner which will weaken it.

On thick steel, hard stone ('cause they are cheap) until they are about 1/16th. Flap disc on the old 4-1/2" grinder after that. I generally just use 80-grit, and then 120-grit on the DA.

Instead of grinding it away, I was able to leave most of the bead for strength. My Bros and I practiced our TIG welding on reassembling a '31 coupe a few years ago and we did some from inside and some from outside. As said before, a good TIG weld should look about the same from both sides. Not as much bead height, so grinding isn't a problem.
