Vertical Up MIG Welding
May 7, 2020
In this video, we explain the technique and settings needed to perform a vertical up weld.
In our example, we are using 8mm steel. As a general guide, when transitioning from down hand to vertical up you decrease your wire speed by 3-4m/min and your voltage by 5-6V.
The Technique
Starting at the base of the weld, build the foundation by weaving back and forth in a triangular motion.
