About this Event
Intermediate MIG Welding: Vertical, Overhead & Complex Joints (4 Hours)
Previous welding experience required.
Take your welding skills beyond the flat position in this 4-hour intermediate MIG class. Designed for students who are comfortable with basic MIG welding, this session focuses on vertical and overhead welding, along with more complex joints than those covered in a beginner class.
You’ll practice proper body positioning, and machine settings for out-of-position welds, and work on multi-pass fillet welds and groove joints. Emphasis is placed on weld quality, consistency, and control, with individualized feedback throughout.
Previous experience required.
