Description:

Welding productivity is one of the most misunderstood topics in the industry—and it's costing shops serious money.

In this episode, Jason Becker sits down with Nate Bowman to break down the reality behind arc-on time, operator factor, deposition rate, and weld volume. Together, they explain why welders aren't "only welding 11 minutes an hour," how over-welding quietly drains profitability, and how small operational changes—like proper weld sizing or adding an extra grinder—can save thousands of dollars over time.

This conversation isn't about blame. It's about data, efficiency, and building high-performance welding operations that benefit both welders and business owners.
