    I teach everything I know about welding and fabricating with aluminum here www.6061.com
    Order the same TIG Button variable amperage finger controller I use here www.6061.com/tigbutton.htm
    I'll explain what this contraption I made is used for in an upcoming video.
    Thanks for watching

    Been watching you for years now. I have learned so much (or nothing, lol), thank you. However, never ever seen you welding thin-to-thin aluminium. That's quite common task that I have in my yard - to weld an aluminium based frame out of thin square/round tubes. Any chance you could show us how to weld 1mm to 1mm thin aluminium? And perhaps in a manner where you cut a profile into 2 pieces and then weld it back together. I find it extremely challenging.
    All the best.

    • @6061

      @AlexanderMoon Рік тому +1

      hello. Just L or U profile, mine were 1mm thick with 30mm width. Thank you a million! The hardest thing is to weld it if cut at 45 degree angle. I tried posting an image here, but it gets deleted. I'll try to put it into next comment.

    I'm also having trouble with the standard earth cable when welding at high amps it seems to glow red any fix for this?

    • @6061

      You have manual preflow. While in position, just tap your amperage controller a time or two before welding. Not too big of an inconvenience.

    • @PranaTech
      @PranaTech Рік тому

      Hi Chad, I have a Yeswelder 250P and they don’t make the Tig button for my welder either. But I built my own custom Tig pedal so I learned all about what the welder needs for a signal. They are very simple inside and basically have two wires for switch to begin the arc and three wires that go to a potentiometer. That’s it! I purchased a Tig button for the AHP and re-wired the plug to match my Yeswelder Tig because the AHP and Yeswelder both use a 10k potentiometer. The good news is that almost every Chinese Tig that I’ve reviewed on my channel uses a 10k potentiometer with a 5 pin plug. If you opened up your pedal for the Weldpro I’ll bet it uses a 10k potentiometer. If it does, let me know and I can walk you through the process of how to wire it up if you really want a Tig button. I can assure you that it will change your whole world once you get used to welding with it. 😁👍
