Pferd CC-Grind are better. That's coming from someone that used to love the Cubitrons. For hogging metal or putting a bevel on pipe the CC-Grind are unreal.

You should see the Specialty welding rods we use in the ship yards. From a 1/4" to 1".🤯🤯Gas hollow rod welding is actually a thing.

Can i see the rods bro no homo but it does sound bad ass gass hollow rod ??

Cut the 10 and 12 welds...see the depth of penetration...I bet the 10 stick is alot deeper than the 12 one and would actually be a usable/valid weld...800/10 = 80amps per stick if they were all arching at the same time. Do a few weld preps on some 1-1.5" at 90 degrees and butt joints and stuff and see how well it penetrates and makes a bead. All I gotta say is DANG what a huge arch and wall of smoke! That big ol' welding rig can sure sling some metal and make some sparks...and it didn't even bog down...just kept on howling begging for more!!!!

This is the creativity and fun I love to see welders have. Brings the inner pyro child out of you to explore and experiment the possibilities. Love to see you are still having fun after years of doing such professional repair work

Reminds me of 35 years ago welding up the kelly bar on the Big Stan drill rig. I air arc 5" x 6" V and welded it shut. I was using 1/4 rod with a gas powered miller 400 dc on a trailer, that was 20 years older than me. The stinger would get so hot burning just 1 rod, that I split the stinger and had 1 stinger soaking in 5 gal bucket of water and welding with the other. That old miller 400 would be lugged down so far burning thru 1 rod the doors were rattling and it was hopping around on the trailer.

*On Fire Welding* Interesting experiment, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

Well, that was fun. Enjoyed the scientific research.

That is an incredible bead made by the 12 rods! IMO the best of the bunch.

With that whimpy cable you exceeded tha capacity to achieve meaningful test results as the cable was limiting the current that you were welding with, get bigger or bouble up the cables and re-test at upper limits! This machine is a beast to reach beyond the cables capacity. Ray

I am humbled with my 500 amp machine. Absolutely amazing. Thank you and Stay Safe.

That friggin spark and flame on 1 stick was phenomenal!

Greg...you are Nuts, I knew there was a reason I subscribed to your channel when you first started..... best wishes. Paul

all your video's are presented with excellent narration

Thanks for the show!

Well now, we've got our definitive answer to the question *_"What if styropyro got an 800A welder (but actually remembered PPE for once)?"_* Who's the psycho asking that question, though?! You're out here directly changing weather patterns with these flux clouds! 😂🤣

when I got my Pipepro400 I ran a few 1/4" 7018's at full bore,that was fun! those Miller engine drives are no joke

Different metals, w/wo flux, Different metals wrapped with rods. 😮 I enjoyed this it was cool. Please make more videos, you are doing science.

Truly awesome. I’ll remember this next time I “crank that bad boy up” to 200.

It will be similar to a mini thermic lance, but used for welding instead of cutting.

0:12 Oh, man. This is a departure. I dig it. Nice rig too, super fancy.

You’re crazy!! I love it! My retinas are shot but I can’t wait for the next time. Stay safe out there

That's just brilliant man thank you for sharing all over it

I don't know what to say about this one!!! I always learn something useful from you videos....., my take aways are WOW, That's a really bright light!!! If your really board, you could always try refreashing a 12v car battery with 800amps!! I bet it doesn't take long!!

Maniac ! This is a very interesting and informative video. Thank you for this demonstration. Can't wait for the next one.

The pigeons came in 😂 that's hilarious, I was guessing 10 would be the best try a 1 inch winch cable

That big Miller welder outside producing that much welding current Greg..WOW would of liked to see it, bet the cables got HOT lol!

i see so many crazy videos but this is by far the best one 👌👌

100% my favorite Welding video now

Hello Greg, pretty impressive. I have a Miller Pipepro 400. At times I like it other times I hate it. Been thinking about just going back to a Lincoln with a DC generator.

Brilliant channel always enjoy your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Cool experiment! 👍👌

Definitely use the Speedglas in front of the camera - it's just blinding and maybe damaging for TV screens without it. My suggestion: I'd like to see that same type of plate in 2 pieces, beveled and attempt a single pass giant weld with whatever number of rods seems optimal. Whichever made the best weld beads on the first test. Appreciate your vids as always!

Now that was impressive!

amazing how nice the beads look with 7018..... looks kinda like cow patties...... Bravo

Finally a welding machine that can plug-weld 10mm sheets without pre-drilling... 🤣 I would expect that every smoke detector in a 200 yrd circle would go off when you start to work like that... The test piece really derserves it's place as a wall hanger! Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

Given that 10 and 12 rods burn the best, the true test of course is overhead, 800amps 10 rods and then 12 rods to see which is the true champion multi rod winner. One could call such a competition, The World Multi Hot Rods Championship! I wonder, how thick a piece of steel could you burn through with 6010 @800amps? I have used 6010 to cut steel, its not nice but it does the job when you get stuck! Great video and idea young man!

That was awesome Greg, try the largest available rod, I believe 7024 comes in pretty decent sizes.

If the supervisor complains on the jobsite I will show him this video to explain why I am doing it "its the future of welding boss"

Greg: This one is 24 - 1/8" 7018 rods at 800 amps. Me: "Why would anyone do such a thing?" Greg: "Because I can!" 🤣 Jacob, you have a great boss!

Reminds me of breaking in my Trailblazer. I used 6011 1/4" rods-the longer I made the Arc the harder machine had to work

Bloody impressive leads !

Good Show!! You may have found a quick and dirty method for hard facing excavator buckets.

drill bits might be fun. great machine man👊

you are crazy! 😀 Thank you!

Very impressive! My Suggestion is to knock off the flux of your left over 7018 and try "under Power welding" with 1/2" rebar again.

4:04 they should get rid of the fume warning drawing on rod cans and just put a screen shot of this lol. Thank you guys for sharing your experiment!

Crazy welding , cool vid thou👍

Cool one of a kind video

That was really interesting.

Dam that's more like an Arc gouger without the air. That's an impressive amount of power

Have a feeling this guy had a bunch of rods he forgot in an oven somewhere and decided to have some fun 😂

Maybe some mixtures of rods,steel and copper? Might look cool

My 800 air pac is not working.... Miller rep yes we saw the video Sir.

That was hilarious! I would have liked to see you load the S/S pipe with stick electrodes. You would have created flux core stick welding!

great video

I can't believe that lead held up and I like how much that plate warped.

This was awesome

My old boss would stroke the fuck out if he saw that waste of rod and metal . Can't wait to share it with him.🍻

I must say very very impressive

That's a good way to clean the contactors on your armature, LO. L maximum load like that would really clean up any kind of build up. Or deposition of dust.

the first covered electrodes were wrapped in paper, maybe try wrapping that 3/4" hot rolled round bar with news print......it will put off CO2 when it burns.... worth a try ?

@OFW

3 ай бұрын

I will definitely try that.

That was so Wild shit, bro!

At 800 amps you could run submerged arc welder. I would like you to try a bucket of lime paste (that's just builders lime mixed with a bit of water) like they used old school back in the early 1900's before ready fluxed rods were developed.

Nice Shop.

They definitely start up better that way!

😮😮😮 👏👏 good show ol boy!

That was violent 😂😂 and awesome 😂😂

Try welding with rebar but cover it with some dry sand. This should work pretty good

Someone’s gunna find your test slab in the shop and be like “what in the f*** happened here?” lol

Insane!

Nice test 👍🏼

Imagine pulling up to a job site, and welding 20 rods together as the customer watches, wondering what kind of madness is happening. Lmao

Welders sure are some special type of people..

Try a bucket pin. Idk. Very interesting. I agree; ten, twelve, and fourteen looked reasonable. The rest were all turds but it was fun. Cheers.

looks like you are making bad ass tattoo needles for King Kong

You should check The Jackson Brothers vlog 23 welding D11 lugs useing 7 rods.

Tu as du super matos 👍💪👋🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

77 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 🤗

I think the 17 looks the best. Surprised the able didn't melt off the end of the handle.

Awesome video, thank you! 😆 (you should have a mic)

You should make up some difference size round bar with flux on it and see what size you can get up too. Great video

Awesome! FOR SCIENCE!

Thank you for showing us 800 AMP annihilation!

Greg, would to see a cross section cut & etch to see how your penetration infusion looks.

Do a T joint with that 1inch plate.just a single pass on each side with the 10 to 14 rod set up. Cut it , see what penetration ya get
