Published 2016-10-17
6013 is a good stick welding rod to learn how to stick weld with, because it is easy to strike, easy to run with, can be run on AC or DC and can be run in multiple positions. That being said, it does have some technical differences and trick of the trade that new welders should be aware of. In this video, we will go over some of the common mistakes of 6013 and how to fix them.

Bob, thank you sharing your experience with the different welding processes and for all you’ve done for the online welding community. I appreciate your knowledge and craftsmanship. They don’t make em like you anymore. Hope all is well with you.
-
I like bobs videos. he's a very good teacher. really knows how to explain things without getting too technical
-
Bob I got neat little trick I picked up from one my boilermaker friends that I'm sure you and your students would like to acknowlege with 7018 glassovers. As soon as you're done welding, flick the stinger and you'll be able to whip off the fluid flux before it hardens.
-
Great to have someone as knowledgable as you talk about this subject. I’ve been welding since 1988 and I still learn from your channel. Thank you.

Bob I have started welding for the first time yesterday 02/17/2021. I am a Freshman in Highschool, and I would like to be a welder in the future and watching this video helps me so that I know what to do, and not to do. On Friday (02/19/2021) I will go weld again. I've watched tons of you're video's and they help A LOT.

3/4ths of Vegas is held together with 6013. The EIFS panels are welded with 6013 and 7014 in the panel yard. Then they fly them into position with a crane and attach them to the building's concrete embedded steel brackets. Everything from The Palms Casino to Caesars Palace has these prefabbed panels. The contractors use AC Lincoln buzz boxes. Sometimes they use 6011 on the 16 gauge red iron studs but mostly 6013.

Only a teacher will keep an open mind on 6013 rods. It's a fun rod to work with. Excellent video.👍👍
-
6013 is the only rod that works for me. Every other rod just sparks and sticks, sparks and sticks. If I can run 3 passes of 6013 that works for me, and three passes of 6013 is going to be as strong as one pass of 7018, that I can't get to do anything at all for me, then screw it... why try harder? I'm on a farm, I don't have to pass any inspectors, and I use whatever works for me.
-
this video came on from auto play. I couldnt stop watching. ended up watching the whole thing. Actually help answered some of the issues I have been having
-
it's so rare to see 6013 mentioned in American videos. Here in the UK it is the most common rod to come across and is the only type I have ever used.
-
Great job Bob. I'm sure there are viewers that would like to see you use that trick that you mentioned at the end of this video. Thanks.
-
Thanks Bob. Good tips. As a beginner I think I made the right choice by asking for 6013; though the seller told me that this is not a common rod used by the professionals and even the other videos that I watched, some people were definitely not in favor of this rod. Thanks once again.
-
The best 6013 video going, thanks for taking the time.
-
I love using the 6013 and the 7018 rods. Both have ran beautifully for me.
-
Thanks Bob, I have learned more from you in 6 month than most other so called Guru's on the Tube. I do appreciate you doing a video on 6013 and they are my go to rods for most everything thing. Those and 7018s.
-
Hi Bob, Thank you so much for putting out the videos. Can't wait to see Mr. Putnam's burn bar demo. I really appreciate seeing the blowouts that I experience; makes you totally legit.
-
I did a brake job last night and I brought the rotors home and I've been practicing on all those nice smooth hard surface
-
Thanks for video Bob! Been welding many years and took desk job 2 years ago. Enjoying backyard welding with miller 215. Picked up some 6013 as one of my old favorites for easy welds
-
Thanks for the review. I have always used the 6013 rods when welding offshore that was the preferred rod used at that time.
-
6013 is the bomb for ⅛" angle iron. It makes such pretty beads and is easy to strike/restrike. It can do any angle except maybe uphill. My go-to rod, for sure.
