I was skeptical about the amp setting until you explained it. Makes more sense than what is usually taught.
Right on! Glad you were able to get value out of it. Yes the AMPS are a debatable topic- but i believe the way i doing it creates the best / most consistent welds
Bro, this video and your others got me on the right path of teaching myself how to TIG 16/18 ga stainless. Thank you!
that's awesome man! I am glad you were able to get value out of them!! Thanks for watching
Holy heck. . This kid actually makes sense.
Keep it up fella 👌🏼
Thank you, sir! Appreciate you watching!
Suck a helpful video man. Got a trail shift at my dream job next week working in a high performance race shop. Not got too much experience and exhaust pipe so hopefully this helps
That’s awesome man- appreciate you watching. Good luck with your job! 🏁⚡️
Good tips made some solid points, I’ve always kept my amperage high but u made a solid argument so I’m going to try the set and smash method. Also liked counting the dips so ur start and stops looks the same, thanks for the video. 👍
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching- I am glad you were able to get some value from it. Yes , i think you will find consistency in smashing the peddle at a desired amp and.. counting has always been helpful for me! Good luck!
Great video, very educational, totally agree with everything except I strongly disagree with setting the heat and matting the pedal, that is definitely poor practice. B pressure and CWB welder here, been welding thin wall stainless and aluminum for over 15 years
I’m new to Tig welding and this video has helped me out massively my welds look the best they have been so far after watching your videos still plenty of practice to do but I’m getting better :) cheers
That’s awesome bro! Great to hear!! Thanks for sharing that with me - keep up the good work
Enjoying the content! Would love to see a video on how you fabricate and design an exhaust system from scratch and why you use the materials and techniques during the build. Maybe do a series or something. Other than that. The info in you vids are great. Too bad many of us can’t afford the Dynasty series welders. Have used em and they are super smooth at low amps. That’s really what separates the value priced tig companies from the more expensive ones.
Hey man! Appreciate you watching I am glad you are getting value out of the content. Yes moving forward that would be a good idea for a video series. I plan to get more serious about my youtube output soon!
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to make a solid video!
You bet sir! glad it brought you some value!
Very clean and straight to the point. ❤.
thank you! Appreciate you watching
Awesome love your techniques and secrets
Thanks man- I’m glad you got some value out of it!
Thank you so much this video was super helpful, been learning Tig welding but mostly on pipe, the experience and tips you share are really appreciated.
You are welcome! I am glad to hear you are getting value from the videos. I will have more content coming soon! Just working though some pertinent projects at the moment, then I will be back on UA-cam!
Instant subscriber man, amazing video!
Thank you, man! Glad you were able to get value from it . Appreciate you watching !
amazing tips! thanks.
Absolutely! Appreciate you watching!
Thanks man!
You bet! Thanks for watching
thanks for sharing
you bet, man! Thanks for watching
Really great video man very straight forward and really love your thoughts on amperage. Thanks a lot man! I really like the super missile rod too, definitely hard to find lol. Had to order mine online a while back but im out of it. gonna have to pace another order!
That’s awesome man! I love hearing that. I’m glad you are able to extract some value from it . Yes the amperage concept i shared in this video is something i feel strongly about. I think it will help guys ! The super missile is tricky to find :) have a good one !
Another great video
Thank you for watching!
Great, A-plus vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
Important to stay calm and has a big cup of Starbucks.. perfect for the jitters lol!!
haha this comment describes me perfect! Thats cheesy, I definitely stayed fuel with the bucks!
Really great TIG training content, much appreciated! 👏👏👏
Thank you sir! Appreciate you watching
Love it when you do one of these! It's nice to have bike specific stuff on UA-cam. Question: A lot of this would carry over to titanium yeah? And design wise, I see the inner pipe inside the cone goes through to the header flange so is the cone bit just added volume for the silencer? Is it full of packing when its assembled?
Right on- thanks for watching !
Yes alot of these settings and techniques would apply for titanium, very similar ! But a few differences. I will make another how-to titanium video soon.
Yes muffler is packed when finished. The megaphone expands up and then reduces down (reverse cone) going into the muffler. The perforated tube is then secured inside the muffler by the reverse cone.
Thanks
Hey just started following you from Norway 👌 great informative videos. You have seriously helped me step my welds up 👌 I am using an older Fronius Magicweld 2000 and playing with settings.
But this Super Missile 0.035” filler rod you speak about. I have literally spent the day going into every welding supplier here in the south west of Norway and not one of them knew about it and the closest they could supply was Harris SMW 1/16 😅🤦♂️
To me I work in metric and I converted it but 1/16 is not the same as 0.035” I guess they were trying to sell me something different?
HELP as I really wanna give this a go and step up my stainless exhaust game…
Hey man! Thanks for reaching out- its great to hear that your getting value out of these videos. Keep up the practice !
The technical word for supermissile is tensilweld , look online for it. I get all of my supermissile from Airgas in the states!
Good luck!
@@KULLYCO Washington Alloy?
Ps.. I use specific music 🎧 to keep my timing / BPM.
I believe every welder should have them a “Welding Playlist” ! 🤘🏼
I dont disagree! Usually pandora is my play list! lol
I listen to techno so it wouldnt be too good lol
I love this channel, and the explanations are simple, not confusing. I'm in New Zealand so cannot find the Super Missile rod, anyone know where i can purchase online? Thank
Thank you man! Appreciate the words ! I’ll try and keep the content coming. I’ll give you a hint that might help on the supermissile . The technical name is often ( tensilweld )
Have a good day!
Super Missile should be close to ER312L. It can be used to weld 316&321ss but depending on heat load of the material you should over alloy. Also consider using ER316, 321, 347. I've been using 1mm 347 for years it doesn't really wet out nicely so it's not a Instagram rod with a lot of luster but typically the metal fatigues before the weld fails. Plus I bought 22kgs of the stuff so I might die before I get thru the spool.
Thank you for the insight! I am always learning myself, and glad when guys will share knowledge ! Thanks for watching. @@alexhise968
maybe i was not focused and i missed it, but i couldn’t find the answer to my question. do you use pulse for it? and what are the hz? thank you!
I very rarely use pulse- only in a few specific scenarios. On all exhaust material I do not use pulse. Just 36 AMPS with peddle wide open.
@9.21 consistent variable or a constant? Nice video
ill look into thiss.. but thank you! glad you got value from it
how many amps would you use on 16 gauge tubing? I am having a difficult time getting my weld to penetrate all the way through and not having a burnt, overheated weld.
I would start around 45 amps with 16 g
@@KULLYCO thanks, I started at 45 and upped it to 50a. 45a was not quite enough for the weld to penetrate all the way thru.
Straight up bars from the kill room
hi, what tig welder do you recommend for a beginner? do you think $800 budget is good enough?
I cant comment on that too much- I have been fortunate enough to welders that are on the pricier side. I can't say for sure the best way to go for your budget. My apologies
I got a welder for 160 dollars it can do tig and stick its worked fine so far
The primeweld 225 is decent and comes with a CK torch
❤❤🎉
thank you!
I can't find that super missile any where.. been looking for days now.. help me out
Look at AIRGAS under Tensilweld
ever find it? lol
Nope never did
@@joshuagarcia9057 yeah i can find some but none 0.035
@@joshuagarcia9057 did you guys try Airgas tensilweld ?
i dont want to be "that guy".... but, are those welds not a little wide given the size filler rod you are using?
I like a nice , wide weld :) I would say this is ideal in terms of size - full penetration
super missile is good, but hyper rocket turbo atomic is even better 😂
lolol thats awesome! I think you are probably right!
@@KULLYCO and thank you for the video! I am 'teaching' myself welding stainless TIG and it is quite different after many many years of MIG. Still finding my way ..ehh. trying 17 and 9 size torch, using foot pedal or finger trigger etc etc.. slowly but getting there and your video was also very helpful..( I mean even apart from the secret sauce i.e. the missile ;) )cheers!
I'm having trouble sourcing "super missile weld" or "hyper rocket turbo atomic" - do either of you have a source that you could share? I'm welding really thin (.030) sheet 316.
This is NOT rocket science but BTW you need super-missile welding rods.
Haha this is a great comment!! A little irony there !
You should show how instead of talking you know show and tell???
I will try to be better in the future :) Thank you for watching, though!
Welding SS >>>>>> hexavalent chromium. Where is your respirator? professional teaching others…
I dont wear a respirator... I will probably regret that someday. Maybe someting I should get serious about looking into! Thanks for watching, otherwise... cheers
@@KULLYCO well logical would be to stop hurting your health right now. I recommend 3M 7500 respirator with 3M 2091 filter designed for welding which is what I use. There you go I have done homework for you no more excuses
@@Bakanelli haha ok sounds good . I actually do really appreciate that!
A fume sucker is much better.
I had a small fan I salvaged to repurpose, and it fit perfectly into an old piece of stovepipe, that I mounted on the wall, to suck it outdoors.
So I cut the pipe and necked it down to about four inches, so I could use dryer vent hose to weld site.
A 5"x5" piece of 1/2" plate and rod, with a piece of coat hanger is used to hold it close to weld area.
We welded with Flux core in the tubs (bottom base that it swivels on) of Large draglines for years w/o any evacuation, so I figure
I'd better get smarter in old age.
@@bryanmcleod9346Usually very very hard to weld Tig with fume extraction, sucks your shield away
How many fumes have you inhaled man. Look and sound so stoned
Thanks man! That’s a kind thing to say :) I’ve inhaled a lot of welding fumes !
Best welders are either old men with beards and heavy accents or young men who look like junkies. No in between.
Haha where does that leave me then !?
