Learned so much from this man
Thank you for all the tips. Your information is being applied with pride.
Try the 2 percent lanthanated tungsten, on 6061 t6or 6005A
Can you show us exactly how you ball it though?
Thank you for sharing your talent and your expertise. I’m certified in structural steel stick, but I’m just now touching on TIG. A totally different animal, but somewhat the same. I’ve watched a ton of videos on TIG welding, but I have to say, I’ve learned more by browsing your videos than all of the other sources combined. You have a unique and effective style of teaching, and a personality that understands how to communicate in a humble manner. Very refreshing to see in today’s on-line environment. Thanks again for sharing your amazing talent. I look forward to continuing to learn from you.
Never actually seen YOU weld anything. To prove the point. And yes. I can Tig I weld for a living
Some crazy details in these vids. Just found em.
The only way that ball at the end of your tungsten will stay that small is if you are welding thin sheet metal and you control your heat perfectly, try welding thick 1/4 inch aluminum channels, the 1/8 tungsten literally melts away creating a large ball at the end which is what you need to create a larger weld for thicker material…this video makes no sense because you didn’t say it only works on thin sheet metal, it’s misleading at best…I’ve been TIG welding for 27yrs.
Out of all the end of my tungsten on purpose how do you do it intentionally?
Oh my gosh.nooooooooo
Thanks for taking the time NOT to show us how you did it 🤦🏻♂️
So this isn't about preparing it it's about what you use
This just tells us what you prefer, not how to prepare the tungsten.
Talked about everything except how to do it
I’ve had good luck with just a flat tip at 30 degrees
Lost me at “aboot”
Ill agree. Thats pretty accurate with what I run.. 30 years alum experienced tig welder over 10 of those years FAA certification. This is the optimum accurate stabilized bead
My TIG welder doesnt have balance control so how do I put a ball on my tungsten for aluminum? I'll mainly be doing intercooler pipes and other thin aluminum
I have allways ran a ball nothing else
No1❤
Old head at works grinds his into a point. I just let mine flat. Never used a point for the past 25yrs and never had any issues
