Tackling Distortion: STICK Repair with E7018 & the Square Wave 205

In this hands-on repair video, we tackle a broken rotary cutter bar from a brush hog-style mower using STICK welding with the Lincoln Square Wave 205 and E7018 electrodes. Key challenges include—maintaining hole alignment, controlling distortion, and preventing cracks—addressed through joint selection, minimizing restraint, and applying good welding practices. No clamps were used to hold the bar flat, yet the final result? A flat, aligned bar ready for service. This video highlights the STICK welding capability of the Square Wave 205, discusses the considerations, explains the approach, and demonstrates practical techniques for structural repairs. See how the Square Wave 205 never misses a beat ... and helps get it done! #weldingtips #stickwelding #weldingrepair #lincolnelectric #squarewave205 #weldingeducation #learntoweld #weldfuzion
