What do you mean ? TIG sparks without argon.
Hey Jody, I don’t want to sound like an expert here because I’m not, but you state “ .100” “ as “one thousands of an inch. If I’m not mistaken, what you meant to type was “ .001” “. I only feel like saying something because I got confused. Great video though! Thanks!
Magnificent
Your shakes are from vitamin B1 deficiency/ beriberi, look it up;-)
Great video as always! Any tips on welding sheet metal that you can’t get a backer on? Like s car body panel.
Wow ok thanks. 2 questions, does the see-through cup help you to look at your arc through the cup? Reason I ask is I have smaller cup and have to tilt gun at work to be able to see arc and it looks like you are nearly verticle. Second question is how thick is your aluminum chill bar?
Thanks for the rules and tips and demostrations.
You are the man! Thanks for sharing….

I am a novice TIG welder. I am experimenting with 24 guage, butt and lap joint. Much frustration, using square wave 200 @ 25-35 amps. any tips or is my MIG .023 wire the way to go? Thanks
TIG'n 1/8" Aluminum "angle iron" — at mitre joints — is a hard way for me to learn TIG. This should help! (cold-bars? yeah!)
