    Watch someone who is a good vertical up welder is a good start.
    Use the correct amps and rod angle.
    Get a copy of one the Lincoln books such as Ärc Welding Lessons for School and Farm Shop".
    Practice.

    I don't know if this help you but it helped me. I practiced uphill with a stick till i thought i would go crazy at welding school. I have a mm211 at home and mig mild steel and my control is 100% better using the gun uphill. I like to keep the heat the same as flat and increase my hand speed and increase the width of my weave. I don't know what gauge metal your welding but i like to make a small bevel for a deeper weld. I don't know how you finish your weld but when i get to end i lift the rod let puddle cool slightly then jam the stick back down. I have run less then a 100 lbs of wire so consider the source.

    Up hill separates the men from the boys.
    Usualy, you use slightly less heat. As you progress up, your work piece gets hotter.

    started a topic Mig, tig, stick uphill.

    Mig, tig, stick uphill.

    So I can weld in the flat position using mig, tig and stick. I am trying to find information and further my skills and learn uphill for all processes. Any tips or information where I can read up on this? I have found some information on mig and stick but not much on tig. Do I need to run less hot then I would running flat? Are there any starting points for uphill? Thanks I hope you can lead me in the right direction!
