A few days ago I dropped my MP3 player in a sink full of water (serves me right trying to do dishes and dance at the same time, but let’s not get sidetracked). Since I’m electronically savvy, I was able to repair the player before any serious damage took place.
Just like I was able to use my skills to repair my MP3 player, welders should be able to use their skills to fix minor and major problems. Welding Repairs is a new series we’re bringing you that will feature tips, tricks, and tutorials on how to repair minor, major, and incredibly unique welding problems. Feel free to leave us a comment if you have any welding problems you would like to see tackled in this series.
I found this video from WeldingTipsandTricks.com on YouTube:
Weld Repair – How to Mig Weld Repair Damaged Threaded Holes
Now, the project isn’t pretty, so be ready to get your hands dirty. I also suggest you cover your nose in some way. That ugly scarf you got for Christmas just might come in handy at this time. Enjoy!
Weld Repair of Damaged Threaded holes. How to Mig weld a hole. The goal of this welding repair is to fill the hole with solid weld metal that can be re-drilled and tapped and re-machined to be good as new.
Do you have any tips or suggestions that are different from the video? Leave us a comment!
