We have been getting a few requests for stick welding videos using 7018 5/32" rods.

Andrew Cardin did the welding in this video while I filmed everything and I can tell you that is a lot easier than doing everything myself.

165 amps, arc force set to 10 using a Lincoln powermig 210mp.
We decided to use some leftover rods so that we show lots of restarts because being able to make a good restart is a fundamental skill...especially in overhead welding.
my number one rule for overhead stick welding is...
"set the amperage high enough where the rod wont stick even when you hold a tight arc...then hold a tight arc."
