I unloaded a women groceries from the cart to her car. One act of a good deed box checked. Very important to keep the proper distance by the diameter of the tungsten rod size. Right on fella.
I love your attitude! Signed on after watching this. I need to repair tears in a 1\8th" aluminum trailer fender. All of your advice will help, but the most important advice you gave was about random kindness to strangers. The bible says that in doing so some of us have unknowingly entertained angels. Whether or not you believe that is immaterial. Just God' s way of giving the same positive advice you gave. Rock on, Brother!!!
I really love your channel you always have great tips for everyone. I am a Boilermaker Rigger in the USA I think they call our trade Ironworkers. I have been lucky in the trade to weld with Stick Mig and TIG and I still get loads of value from your videos and I love the fact you won’t people to treat each other like they would like to be treated so keep up the great work. PS the art you do is bloody amazing 🇦🇺👨🏭🙏
Dude. I came across your video strictly for the info on the subject, but by the end I have liked and subscribed. Your video is greatly informative and your sign off challenge for sure is mad respect. Thank you!!!
Super helpful -- THANKS! I think read somewhere that excessive TIG arc length eats up way more votage or amperage than you set on the machine? I'm new to TIG and can tell you my inverter AC/DC TIG machine went bonkers (even error coded) the few times I accidentally pulled the arc too far out. Yep, I need to practice practice practice big time. Thanks for all your great videos.
Excellent videos - Having been an engineer for 50 years always using torch or mig I've just got my Tig and very exited to start using it. Thank you so much - I'll be watching everyone of your tutorials for sure, best seen around ! 🙏👍😍🇬🇧
Like a lot of learners I seem to vacillate between "too close" and "too far" .. too far has been the easiest one to conquer for me, now I'm working on "too close"! Dip dippety dip dip. But now I have a guideline to keep in mind!
I've been learning when I have time and this is absolutely something that I do.... I have noticed my welds are nice when I'm in nice and tight.... but I do start to go up a little higher after I start my pass... thanks for pointing this out....
Great video (as always). Your tips for beginners are the best on YT. I’m just starting out, my consistency is rough right now but I’m getting better thanks to your videos. You deserve more subs. Please keep up the content.
Thank you, I have watched umteen tig videos, still having no success .That is until I found this channel. You have solve almost all. Now I will use what you have shown. Perfect. Just this afternoon I was wondering , why is this weld so wide and what happened to the nice stack . I just ran a perfect line. Now I know, standoff distance does matter. Very nice job.
Bro thanks for this updated video. I know I'm guilty of this one as I'm learning. I notice the filler rod balling up sometimes. This is a good reminder to work at constancy being more consistent.
Thanks. After watching few of your videos i bought an s7 inverter tig welder from the jungle. I am trying alum welding to build a trailer. While practicing with 1/8 thick alum it just melts the entire dam thing. How can i make a puddle and add filler rod? I tried 70 80 90 110 130 n 150 amps with 15 cfm pure argon... Great videos btw.
Wrap ur gloves around with some aluminum foil tape and use the side of ur hand to touch the piece you are using and use it as a base. Don't know if I explained right...
I seem to have the opposite problem on alluminium where I get too close and the weld pool comes up and touches the tungsten and contaminates it, I spend a lot of time regrinding tungstens.
I can't get my arc to stay going, it keeps flashing out. Machine stays on, but I can't get it started again until I repower machine. Is this a power supply problem you think?
I’m new to tig iv just made a aluminium reducer for a intake for a car but iv noticed the Penetration is poor can I grind the welds down and reweld the whole thing will the welds become weak
I bought Esab215 welder brand new. For Some reason I can't get the weld going for the tig setup aluminum weld. Do you need ground for tig welding aluminum? I am running on 120VAC and I can't seem to find a menu to switch from DC weld to AC for aluminum weld. Very frustrating. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Won't light up
I am guilty of all those mistakes.. I shake a bit so i have to keep standoff higher than should.. I have about 20 hrs of alum pipe welding ahead of me, ill spend half my time re grinding tungstons...
I'd like to know your machine brand and model, Tungsten size and type. Length of stick out. Metal grade and gauge. Filler type. Amp setting. Balance setting. Gas cfh. Thank you
I can answer each of these for you: Varies, varies, varies, varies, varies, varies, varies, and also... varies. These variables change constantly based on job, material, position, joint type, and desired finish. There are no magic settings that work for everything. Learn your machine and get some time behind the torch.
If I DON'T brace my hand 'restrictive hand posture', THAT is where and when I totally screw up because there is NO WAY I could EVER hold my hand in ANY position! My body shakes, wobbles, twitches, twists and turns all on its own, therefore I ABSOLUTELY MUST brace to do ANY welding whatsoever!
Roll that cup dangit! Jk. Honestly im very proficient in mig arc and not bad at tig for stainless. Got ok at aluminum, the question ive not really been able to figure was why the metal wouldn't melt, just turned red hot. I was welding with dc and was able to stick the pieces together once I switched polarity. I assumed that was the issue but recently learned I might be wrong. Sorry it a long read but very curious if any expert knows. Thanks

Thanks SO MUCH for watching 🔥Check out my latest project here🔥ua-cam.com/video/yIQyOdCNC1w/v-deo.html
Thanks Dusty. I am 82 years old and got a TIG for Christmas, having a blast. I am learning a lot from you.
Great job.
Go Charlie go. We want to see pictures. Get a UA-cam channel.

Bro I can’t tell ya how much that helped it’s been awhile since I’ve welded aluminum and that was some good pointers!

Thank you. You should mention to new tig welders to look at their filler rod tip after they run a bead. It's very telling.

Thanks for showing this. I been struggling with laying down a good bead
Everything you mentuoned are my main problems lol Ive only gone through 4x rods though. Thank you for the visuals and explanations.

Thanks for the refresher brother. Just started doing aluminum again and your vids have been a great refresher.
I wondered why my filler clumps up like that.. I shake and it’s hard to stay close! 🤦🏼♂️ I’m gonna work on this thank you
I've been learning when I have time and this is absolutely something that I do.... I have noticed my welds are nice when I'm in nice and tight.... but I do start to go up a little higher after I start my pass... thanks for pointing this out....
I'll give you my heart if you're my welding teacher.

Thank jebus that ya didnt put this out at 2am again..
Hahah set that alarm clock!😂🍻
Once again man.... THANK 🙏 YOU . I truly appreciate you sharing your wisdom
just started tig welding today, your videos helped me determine where i was going wrong and what i need to keep doing right. thank you!
Another great episode Dusty. Thank you 👍👍😎👍👍
Cheers Joel! Thanks for checking it out!🙏🙏
Great tips. Im having balling of the filler rod on filet joints and you've shown me why!

It does matter brother, and everyone should be as kind as you can to brothers and sisters alike;
Thanks for the video.
Great video , very well illustrated .
Nice work!! Your thoughts on, being to close?
Man, this is hella inspirational and I can't wait to improve my welding skills. Thanks for all the great tips, and entertaining videos!
Exelente video!!!!!!! Gracias!!!!!! Cordial saludo desde Argentina! Atte Nelson

excellent tip. love these videos. keep it up
I absolutely love your Art. Your instructional are definitely as amazing as your artwork. Keep up the great Videos. 👍
Now if you could keep me from dipping my tungsten in the weld pool :) ...
Me too lol
Got an episode for ya on Friday! Make sure to check back!🙏🍻
Wrap ur gloves around with some aluminum foil tape and use the side of ur hand to touch the piece you are using and use it as a base. Don't know if I explained right...
my issue is sticking the fill rod to the tungsten lol
Use a 2+4 piece of wood
i've been having this exact problem of "snotty" filler dripping off. cheers.
Hopefully this helps:) Common problem, even I have bad angles some days and have to clean up...🤦🏻♂️😂
Thanks brother.
Great information, thanks so much from Florida....
Hi Dusty, you video,s have been more than helpfull , thank you very much regards Doc Cox.
Awesome! Happy to help! I appreciate you watching!🙏🙏🙏
Bro I see your DILLINGER HAT in the back ground on your shelf I went to school with Jeff bad ass band !! Love your videos btw
Good welding tip. Great life tip. Love the channel!
Good tips thanks for the video🤗
Cheers and thank you so much for watching!🙏🍻
hi thanks for the lessons great to see someone sharing great skills and your art is awesome cheers
Valuable info, thanks.
Thank you!
Man, love your videos 👏🏻
I seem to have the opposite problem on alluminium where I get too close and the weld pool comes up and touches the tungsten and contaminates it, I spend a lot of time regrinding tungstens.
Nice episode as usual there Dusty, but..... keep your camera in same place if you have to redo a scene.
Cheers Bengt
Where do you get the tungsten’s with the rounded tip?
I can't get my arc to stay going, it keeps flashing out. Machine stays on, but I can't get it started again until I repower machine. Is this a power supply problem you think?
I’m having some difficulty with my aluminum settings. Is there any way I can get in touch to chat?
Thanks!
I was taught the standoff distance is called arc length
Hey Dusty great videos. Are you using pure tungsten electrode or 2% lathanated? Thanks
Yo! Thank you! I’m using 2% lanthanated:)
👍🏼👍🏼 good advice
Excellent, thank you. What a nice chap
What are your settings
Some good sound advice. 👍👍
I’m new to tig iv just made a aluminium reducer for a intake for a car but iv noticed the Penetration is poor can I grind the welds down and reweld the whole thing will the welds become weak
Which tungsten should we use for aluminum tig welding for thickness 8 mm.
Found porosity why
I bought Esab215 welder brand new. For Some reason I can't get the weld going for the tig setup aluminum weld. Do you need ground for tig welding aluminum? I am running on 120VAC and I can't seem to find a menu to switch from DC weld to AC for aluminum weld. Very frustrating. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Won't light up
What’s your best tip for getting your tungsten prepped for aluminum?
Hey love watching your videos, how do I enrol in yoyr course? I am far, Sydney Australia
Im new on tig welding. Why do why keep melting my tungsten when welding aluminum?
Positive vibrations dusty
You are the man..
You should weld something space related like a solar system design or galaxy
Awesome! Thank you
Why is every tig welder on UA-cam lefthanded? Is that a prerequisite? Anyway, subscribed. Love your art btw.
Haha dope thanks. I appreciate you watching 🤙
I am guilty of all those mistakes.. I shake a bit so i have to keep standoff higher than should.. I have about 20 hrs of alum pipe welding ahead of me, ill spend half my time re grinding tungstons...
same as for inox
Thent you four your enformation
I keep trying to stirr the puddle with my tungsten, is that how you'll get these ripples? 😀
Ripple happens when you add filler metal. Its just laying metal on each other to get a stack of dimes.
@@WeFareFartherThanDreams I appreciate the explanation. I was simply making fun of my lack of skill smoking tungsten on a regular basis
I'd like to know your machine brand and model, Tungsten size and type. Length of stick out. Metal grade and gauge. Filler type. Amp setting. Balance setting. Gas cfh. Thank you

@@SolarMillUSA I referring to information concerning this video. Only. Thank you.
Goud job you are the bestte
Why my tungsten cracks and is all over the place?
If I DON'T brace my hand 'restrictive hand posture', THAT is where and when I totally screw up because there is NO WAY I could EVER hold my hand in ANY position! My body shakes, wobbles, twitches, twists and turns all on its own, therefore I ABSOLUTELY MUST brace to do ANY welding whatsoever!
Just a ? Why arent we getting alerts to new videos that come up , finding its happening a lot lately
Yeah me too actually. Not sure why. If you hit notifications on my channel it helps , but just check in and see:) I appreciate you watching!🙏
"Standoff", use real terms. AWS calls this variable "Arc Length" which for arc welding of any type is a more descript term!
Videos are awesome, thanks! You may have covered this. Is it the amount of filter rod you push into the ark, that makes the ripples? Mark
I find it does more so with stainless, but definitely as well with aluminum. The stepping motion usually allows it to freeze and create the puddles:)
U da best
Roll that cup dangit! Jk. Honestly im very proficient in mig arc and not bad at tig for stainless. Got ok at aluminum, the question ive not really been able to figure was why the metal wouldn't melt, just turned red hot.

Sorry it a long read but very curious if any expert knows. Thanks
I know know ac is the proper power source.
great vid, what electrodes do you buy,, have a 200 dv coming.after watching your vids how does one message on insta?
Hit me up on IG @pacificarctigwelding I’ll try and check messages soon I swear!😂🙏
@@PacificArcTigWelding Ok i did
3.2mm :)
Boss 🔥
now try and weld overhead with a long arc... lol
I've had a tig machine for several months now , I practice every so often but my weld looks like $h!t .. LOL
