- Visit our online store here weldmongerstore... see the full web page here goo.gl/Af49eG Using a AHP Alpha Tig 200x to weld some parts on a turntable and propping with a Tig Finger.
Any time you get a lot of round parts to weld, a turntable is a huge help...not only do the parts look better but it takes less time to weld the parts.
In this video, I am just using a Tig Finger to lightly rest my hand next to the weld.
In a future video, I will show these parts being welded on a welding lathe with a air actuated tail stock and torch holder.
I was using an air cooled 17 style torch that is rated at 150 amps and man did it get hot after about a few welds because I was pushing it hard at 170-190 amps.
Been using Tig finger XL for about a year now, started using it on my left hand for Mig too and it is a real life saver especially if you are doing long continuous welds.
Thanks as always Jody, your videos have help many of us through time. I am about ready to step up to the plate and try an inverter machine but my tried and true Syncrowave 200 and my Syncrowave 500 have been bullet proof dependable machines. I can't count the number of torches I have smoked with the 500 even water cooled ones but what a beast. Now that I have closed shop and don't need them I still have both in my garage (put the wife's new suburban out) and do smaller jobs with my limited power supply. Thanks for showing us the CK line as I have a water cooled 250 amp flex-loc torch on it for small use now.
the tig finger is awesome, had mine for a few years saved me cooking my fingers countless times.
i love your videos man , I'm a I.B.E.W electritian and currently going for my 3 and 4g certs smaw, I'm getting a miller trailblazer 325 and I'm going to start practicing i only hope i can be half the welder you are jodi. i will most certainly buy all your dvds for every year!!
Im a union welder my uncle is a union electrician im just wondering why they have ylu doing welding work certain project ? Idc im just wondering didn't know that Union welded
You make TIG welding look so easy. I really wanna thank you for sharing your knowledge about welding to all of us.
Keep up the good work.

Can't wait to see the vid on the torch holder and pneumatic actuator. Great content as always man.
Cool setup. Reminds me of an auto tig I used to run back around 2003. We hard faced oil rig parts with Inconel. Filler was fed from a spool through a piece of copper tubing mounted to the end of the torch. Pretty much like those tip-tig torches.
I have been doing some research, looking to get my first tig welder and the APH alpha tig 200x has been coming up a lot.....I have found that this machine is probably going to be my introduction to tig welding. Good video.
I've had the AHP for a couple years. I'm very impressed. I've pushed it pretty hard for a homeowner. Aluminum, stainless, aluminum on a 120V extension cord, etc. It has never let me down. I bought it on Amazon for their very liberal return policies. I haven't needed to return it though......
Beautiful work Jody. You are a true master.
I received my stubby lens kit recently - very pleased.
I bought that bundle. Happy 4th of July to me.....
You do some nice work for sure man. keep it up.
Cool lookin actuator arm you've set up there. Can't wait to see that in a future vid. Keep up the good work and have a great 4th of July weekend. We've got our July 1st Canada day weekend btw. Enjoy yourself.

I've got ahold of an old Southbend 9 " turning lathe recently. I'm going to convert it to use a DC treadmill motor cause that has variable speed control. And that's got me thinking what i can do to REALLY slow it down. And what else i need to do to be able to weld on it. :)
As usual, excellent video. Perfection!!!
Are you going to add a water cooled torch to the Ahp?- because that would be great!
Thank you
Jody I am a new Gunsmith. can you do a video on welding small parts like safety's, triggers, welding up old scope base screw holes and similar things?
Can you do more videos with the square wave tig 200 I just bought one and I've been having a hard time getting the setting right for aluminum
Great video Jody. Here's a question I posted in the comments for your video on the Lincoln Square Wave 200: If it was your money, which of these two machines would you buy? The Lincoln Square Wave 200 or the AHP AlphaTig 200X?
Jody, you featured a brass hammer you made during one of your videos. It seemed like you brazed each of the faces of it and stick welded the beads on the handle. what did you use on the face of it?
dobra robota . Pozdrawiam z Polski

cover your torch with tig finger to help keep cool
When "walking the cup" is not allowed, is that only on ceramic cups and only due to the effects on surface finish? If glass or other material is used that won't effect surface finish would it then be allowed?
I've heard of people having serious problems trying to walk a Pyrex cup - as in, the glass melted on them.
+Joseph Dunn I gotta agree on this, walking the cup with pyrex cups is also, I find, way more difficult because the pyrex has very little surface friction and it just tends to wiggle in the same place without moving forwards.
If you aren't allowed to walk the cup because it would scratch the material and you can find a way to do it without scratching, that would probably be fine. It's something you would want to clear with your customer, boss, test supervisor or whatever.
Sometimes you aren't allowed to walk the cup because an employer is testing your ability to freehand. There are times when you don't have room for "chicken-wingin'", as some old timers would say. You can't get around this one.
There are mainly two reasons walking the cup is not allowed. Surface finish as you have already stated and an increased HAZ (heat affected zone). When you walk the cup you usually end up with a big HAZ value becasue of the slow travel speed. Stringer's on the other hand are much faster thus giving you a lower HAZ. The reason it is a problem with having a large HAZ is because when welding, if you give the material enough heat the crystal structure can change making the material pretty much useless. If the structure changes you are going to lose the properties of the metal, and you more than likely chose the material you are welding for those specific properties. Just follow the WPS and you'll be fine. If there is a maximum weave width specified you may not be allowed to walk the cup.
excelente los videos quisiera enconsrguir los CDs
hey Jody, I've been wondering, and I've seen your videos with you just using the inverters and I wanted to ask you if you own any welding generators?
Wp20 torch max 140 amp
As a profesional question: how often do you mess up, and what do you do to fix it?
How is that aph 200x tig welder? I was thinking about buying one.
when does the give away start?
180 amps on only 3.2mm rod? Not sure how you manage to do that, Mine always balls up in as little as 140amps!
I like positioner work! Hahaha
you also send to germany
Hey Jodie, I'm gonna buy a tig unit for my home shop. I want the best out there. In your opinion, Lincoln, miller, AHP, everlast?What's the best in your expert opinion?
He has MULTIPLE "comparison" videos. Look them up, they're full of good info
Miller
Someone can tell me where i can buy the DVD's Guys? Thank you 👌🏼
What camera do you like to use to make videos?
Nice :)
👍👍😊
No pre flow...... Stop re sharpen tungsten Dammit
3:35 welding porn :P
