How to MIG Weld an Angled Joint

Video Transcript

" Hi I'm Mike Rogers and we are making this video for expertvillage.com on the use of mig welder. Next job that we are tackling is a creation of a right angle joint between two bits of steel. Now one easy way to create the joint to start off with is just to use a magnet. Put the metal onto the magnet and that holds it to a nice right angle. Next step is we need to talc weld those two pieces of steel together. So we have to apply our ...clamp first of all and then turn to the welder. Now the welding would be done very much the same technique as before we will be welding 2 points. Just two very small points first of all that we called talc welds. Something like this. There is one you would notice the weld didn't react quiet as well that time that is the effect of metal steel. So we already went to a small amount to this metal field. There that is the two talcs. Now we are going to complete the weld and put the weld around the full length of the steel. Lets move this out the way a little. Here we go. Ready. There we have the two piece of steel welded to form a perfect angle joint."
