Today we talk about how to Mig like Tig weld an open corner joint with the stack of dimes look that everyone has come to know and love..We will go over HOW TO get your MIG welding Machine settings dialed, Prep techniques as well as fit up.. Mig gun manipulations and how to move that Welding Puddle around to achieve this awesome weld profile on Open corner / Outside corner welds.. Welding Tips and Techniques to get you up to speed and start stacking dimes like the PROS!

We are chatting with three of the best in the industry.. Joel Buschmann @overkillracingandchassis , Alex Brown @Cavemanwelder and Rodrigo Rodarte @rr_fab .. These guys eat sleep and breath welding and fabrication.

We will go over everything from material prep, Material fit up, Mig welding machine settings as well as the MIG like TIG technique and how to accomplish the “stack of dimes” look with MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding or GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). Open Corner mig welds can look soo good if you have right settings and follow the proper technique.

Joel @overkillracingandchassis has a ton of experience in Welding and Fabrication and is one of the most talented guys I’ve ever met..He does a lot of 3D CAD modeling in Solid works and runs CNC plasma tube Notchers, Cnc Press brakes and CNC Tube benders.. His shop is outfitted to build absolutely impressive Monster truck chassis as well as soooo much MORE!

Rodrigo @rr_fab is an extremely talented Welder / Fabricator that works for OVERKILL and has really came a long way in a short time.. He is laying down some of the best MIG welds that I’ve ever seen. He definitely has a special signature to his welds.

Alex Brown is a guy that I’ve looked up to for a long time now and you can find him on instagram @Cavemanwelder . Machining to MIG / TIG welding this guy has it all covered being a jack of all trades and very close to a master in them all. I will insert clickable links to each of these talented dudes instagram pages.

  1. makes me want to weld stuff again.. awh just drawing circles and trusting the circles, what you call rinse and repeat. it's just been so long since i welded.
    welding is so meditative. <3

  2. I’m 35 now. Thanks to my dad owning a cnc machine shop, I’ve been machining since I was about 5 years old. I’m rather embarrassed to say I have never welded. We’ve always outsourced all our welding. Just here to expand my skill set and knowledge. Kudos to all you awesome welders out there.

  3. Can’t help but stare and wonder did I dime get pressed in the forehead ?

  4. I just bought a Lincoln multi process 140 , I don't even know if it would be able to do such a good job…. In your opinion?

  5. The day I manage to make welds as beautiful as yours, it will fall from the frogs of the sky. Your welds are art.

  6. How long have you been on the field?lol. All yall field and shop welders. Run HOT AND FAST. Tricks you're going to master after years of getting burned

  7. That’s a good starter setting but it’s way to slow ya can’t make money that way try 20-22v and 240-280 wire speed and go faster by a 1/3

  8. Thanks heaps guy's. I really appreciate. I just could never put it all together with MIG /TIG…..no matter how much i tried……Im a first class arc /fusion / braze. / oxy….fabricater.☺

  9. Is it true that if you rub a green banana all around where you are going to weld it will keep the splatter off the job

  10. So what would the weld settings be for a machine with heat numbers and speed numbers? Thanks
