    I know this is an older video and I'm about 2 years late but vinegar works great at removing mill scale. Overnight soak in it will dissolve all of the mill scale and you can get a few uses out of the vinegar before it slows down. I used 6% strength.

One thing I saw a welder doing when using flux core wire he took the gas nozzle/ tip off because you don't need it when there is no gas. I think it stops grounding the tip accidentally but I would think that would be hard to do anyway. I am welding flux core wire now much easier.

    Awesome videos and Grinding mill scale sucks, take it From a Toolmaker/ Fabricator. May I suggest using muriatic acid to strip the mill scale. Its quick and easy. You can get it in a hardware store and dilute with water in a spray bottle, NOTE always add the acid to the water not water to acid, so fill the bottle with water first then add the acid. Use a plastic pan outside and spray on the surface, it will foam up when working on the scale then rinse in a bucket of water. Or if you order P&O steel, (pickled and oiled) its already done for a few bucks more. Another option is vinegar but I heard it takes a while but have not tried it, you may want to soak some for a few days to see of it works. Smoke-On
