He is having fun in the field.
I seen him recently on a video at Hendricks motorsports about mig welding.
He is out there on social media.

Agreed.
It's more about the mass than the thickness....

Well said.
A lot of my customers have bought their own machines. Found out it isn't as easy as we make it look. Expensive lesson IMO

Years ago I worked at a shop where they had us do that only with 308. I did it for days on end in the freezing cold one year. Had to coil the leads up and stand on them to keep my feet warm. At the time I thought that WAS hardfacing and didn't know they were being cheapskates....

I wrote a really long post about using mig for this and other cast, and how I used to do it all the time at other shops.
I even mentioned You as an example!
But when I clicked "post reply".....all that came up was those 2 lines (post #20)
I'm not sure what I did wrong there...

I think the thing (that Portable was getting at) was the difference between using mig or tig, and knowing how, when you tig, you see all the junk float out as you are welding VS trapping all that crud inside the weld with a mig weld...

I would call my Miller field representative and have him try to help figure it out. Those guys can help make things happen too. At least mine does.
They do have a big area so it may take a while to actually talk to them.
