I’m about 15 hrs into tig practice in the evenings,,, finally getting some clean non porosity dimes on steel. I tried aluminum for 2 nights and about 10 pieces of tungsten with zero success then I figured out the scrap 1/8th alum I got a ton of was t6 7075 😂 apparently hard to weld I also realized as a beginner to just use new/as clean as possible metal. Grinding scrap hot rolled stuff into usable coupons was half my battle of porosity. Thanks for the vids! I’ll re watch all the alum stuff when I get some material to try on.
I learn something every time I watch one of your vids. For anyone without a bandsaw... a table saw cuts aluminum like butter, if you use a carbide blade set at full extension, so it cuts down, as much as possible. This method produces loads of tiny, sharp splinters, so be sure to use appropriate masks, etc.
Are you able to do a video on how to do lap and corner welds? I can’t get a good pool started to save my life, no problem running lines on flat ally but when it comes to joins I’ve got better chance of winning the lottery 😂😂😂😂😂
@ I like the videos so I can save and rewatch them thanks, also just got a track style amp control too, plus I managed to find a guy who makes the pressure amp control button so will do a video on that when it gets here too
Awesome tips. So many questions, for example, how do you decide what frequency to use on material, how do you decide what cleaning action to run at? Do those settings correspond to thickness of material? Oh and how do you deal with big gaps? You had a gap on one side but you didn’t really explain how you dealt with that. Do you just run it as usual or manipulate the torch to help fill in the gap? Once again, thanks for the tips really appreciated. Just don’t start pushing your special tig finger or panhandling viewers for tig settings….lmao 😂

Really good tips! Just started Tig in March so this content is gold 👌
So glade it helped you
Awesome video.... productions like this push me more and more to dig into Tig.
That's the spirit!
Interesting video! I wonder what pressure the cube would fail, a long air hose with the valve on the other end would make for an interesting test.
@@adambergendorff2702 haha i thought the same i actually took it to 130
And it did nothing. Maybe ill hook my pressure washer to it and do a video
Great video. Can you say again what blade you use on your bandsaw. And would just a regular 9” table top saw work well?

Where can I get that arm rest at that's sweet to keep steady
@@marshallmazzarelli8797 i built that
@Precisiontigwelding nice I just bought a strong hand tools one thanks for the reply I like ur content brotha good shit
GRAN VIDEO¡¡ SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO
Thanks man, appreciate it.
Good video! Is 4" 1/8 what you recommend for practicing? I just got the 325x w/a water cooler and 20 torch last month on their black Friday special
Yeah 1/8th is a great size to practice on!
Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍
What table is it?
