All this information helps me alot Because im working as a welder helper im learning little by little and picking up a bunch of information from alot of videos i love what i do and im very confident that i will be a good welder pretty soon.
hey i didn't catch this guys name but i feel like he did a pretty good job explaining this live. i might have figured out how to do this from him in just one sitting. it helped.
This is the Best TIG Instruction I have ever had or even known about. I learned TIG in Australia and they only gave us 1/4 of this info, had to copy tips from other Guys and learn by hit and miss !!! Thank you Sir !!!! Communication Gladiator !
Kudos. One of the best instructional videos on UA-cam. Good one. And yeah the camera work could be better but if your critiquing the camera then you're wasting your time watching this in the first place.
Your didn't mention two things for newbies. 1) some electrodes contain thorium. These must not be ground on a belt sander because of the risk of inhaling radioactive particles. 2) Where exactly does the current run, and how best to avoid becoming part of the circuit. Using high amperage is scary for beginners and they will shake less if they are not worried about getting shocked. OK, so they should probably start with a stick welder but some start with TIG because they know it is best.
im welding with the tig 200 ac/dc. im welding 1/8 aluminum square stalk. im having troubles getting the puddle started and when it does it melts the metal. and im using the suggested settings
Do you have a video talking about glass lens, cups tungsten size etc? just to understand the different types and why you should use them. thank you excellent videos.
I mostly weld D-2 or A-2 and sometimes when I weld a cracked section the weld cracks right away , I have it heated properly , what causes this . These sections I weld are hardened.
I’m so new I’ve not even bought a welding machine yet! I know people say a gasless MIG welder is the easiest to learn but I think I will be welding a lot of aluminium when I start. No one seems to like the spool guns too much and MMA is pretty dirty. Taking everything into consideration am I better going straight to TIG welding? Great presentation, thank you.
Hello, I'm new to this. Trying to weld an aluminum joint together but I'm having a hard time getting a puddle AT 140 amp (recommended setting) What is the highest Amps I can go without getting in trouble ? I'm using Eastwood TIG WEDLER 200 AC/DC.
Is a long sleeve shirt enough to protect you from the UV rays? I've been learning and working in a workshop for the past few months and I usually use a leather breastplate but it is way too hot after some while. Thank you and greetings from Venezuela!
Wow: ...Really enjoying your presentations! -Cant wait to start pt2 after dinner, And beyond also! How many parts to TIG welding are there?!? Thanks again.
As we just finished talking about contamination and how clean the metal has to be, he puts a chair that was on the floor on his work bench, then proceeds to touch the metal he is about to weld directly...
Hi All...I am getting ready to enroll for a TIG Welding course and have never TIG Welded ever before. Any advice would help, I'm nervous but not scared co's I know I can do this thing.
did i miss when he must say the red electrodes contain 2% thorium? it is radioactive and you dont want to have that ground stuff floating around. or he did not say anything about 2% thoriated electrodes?
how do I calculate the amps on different types of metals?(stainless, iron.....) what happens if you use more amperage then you need?(hot) would I make a hole on the surface or break the machine?
Using more amperage would increase the heat, so you would let off on the pedal to decrease the heat as you weld. There is a chart on the machine that will allow you to set it up correctly for the material and thickness you are welding.
I picked up a TIG200 and I love it. The hose from the bottle to the back of the unit is a little meh. The construction of the unit is really nice and the feel of the controls is really stable. The regulator is decent. I really like the torch and how it feels. The pedal is really nice as well. I bought it from you all while you had a sale. Shipping was quick. The part I dont understand is in your video you say that TIG welding takes both hands, so why do you offer a mask in it that is hand held? I am appreciate the free mask and Im sure when Im showing my son how to weld it will come in handy. But its kind of a waste for the company to include it. But the Unit overall is great and it can take a beginner from zero to producing quality work in a short period. Thanks for the vids. Im sure we will be buying more stuff.
Has anyone ever used Eastwood's Tig welder? That has no Bias and gives an actual review? I've herd a lot of bad stuff about them throughout different forums.....
+Steven Willis The TIG comes with a 3 Year Warranty and 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. You can try it for 30 days, and if it's not what you want, you can return it. There are video reviews on UA-cam from customers if you're looking for other opinions.
+Steven Willis I have tried it, a friend has one, I ended up buying the AHP tig, more user friendly features same warranty, I do a ton of welding with it and love it
+Steven Willis I just bought one the other day. I weld as a hobby and started with a scratch start Lincoln and have now moved to the Eastwood. I wanted to try a high freq start machine without spending thousands on a bigger brand name. Thus far, it's been a good machine for me. I'm not sure how it would perform in a production setting but I think it will be a great machine for garage use.
Talking about not being able, to see out of your mask, when using lower amp, mister tig welded two sheets of aluminium tin foil that you wrap your sandwiches with lol,and he managed to weld both of them together, and he was using only 3 amps 2 and a half to 3 amps but he was able to see, by swapping out the inside shield on his mask for better visibility, because tree arms you would not see through a normal mask.
After all the yrs. I'v welded I still don't understand The D C switch ! I know this may sound Like a STUPID ? 'but I'll ask it any way . Can you hook up a T I G to the Batt. of a car ' or Truck & Use that as your power supply ? If so would U have to switch the what I call finger's around inside the welder ???
When the switch is on DC, the TIG will weld steel. When the switch is turned to AC it will weld aluminum. Some welders are only DC and will only weld steel. Some are AC/DC and will weld both. The Eastwood TIG welders operate off standard household current, either 120 or 240. I hope this answers your question.

I'm here to get ready for welding classes Xp.
Took a welding class in high school, it was great; but we covered everything except tig welding.
So thanks for posting this, great tips
Glad you're posting these.A great help for someone just beginning.Thanks
I love the way people give their opinions They show how they love welding, teaching and learning from each other And that helps me alot too.
This is the Best TIG Instruction I have ever had or even known about. I learned TIG in Australia and they only gave us 1/4 of this info, had to copy tips from other Guys and learn by hit and miss !!! Thank you Sir !!!! Communication Gladiator !
FANTASTIC! Matt from Eastwood company, your on point brother. This helped me actually understand wtf I was doing wrong lol.
Excellent video for beginners, nice and long so the information can be absorbed. Great for young boys and girls. And me, I just bought a big TIG unit.
This is the best information of all the videos that I have seen. Thanks
Kudos. One of the best instructional videos on UA-cam. Good one. And yeah the camera work could be better but if your critiquing the camera then you're wasting your time watching this in the first place.
You always do a great job teaching us. Great video and editing, too! I appreciate that you guys are there for us.

"good at sharpening your toungston" , lol, boy can I relate to that
Great video thanks for uploading for the beginners very informative fellas , the host should have EAST WOOD tattooed on his fingers though LOL.
Wow that is a weld of information!
At 11:30 there is quite a difference in the amount of heat input into the metal. You can see the band of "bluing" out from the welds
im welding with the tig 200 ac/dc. im welding 1/8 aluminum square stalk. im having troubles getting the puddle started and when it does it melts the metal. and im using the suggested settings
very slow and easy to understand-Thank You....
Great video guys well done. I really enjoyed it.
This guy can do anything.
Great video

I really got a lot out of this video- eastwood is lucky to have this guy...thanks
Do you have a video talking about glass lens, cups tungsten size etc? just to understand the different types and why you should use them. thank you excellent videos.
Thank you so much for your videos, these videos have saved me a lot.
I mostly weld D-2 or A-2 and sometimes when I weld a cracked section the weld cracks right away , I have it heated properly , what causes this . These sections I weld are hardened.

Thanks for the lesson.
Very good information sir thanks
Excellent video with very useful advice. Many thanks.
what pressure to setup argon bottle in BAR value?
Wow: ...Really enjoying your presentations! -Cant wait to start pt2 after dinner, And beyond also! How many parts to TIG welding are there?!? Thanks again.
What are your thoughts on the tungsten grinders that Eastwood sells? I notice the range of prices are all over the place.
Cool! I can learn from another left hander.
As we just finished talking about contamination and how clean the metal has to be, he puts a chair that was on the floor on his work bench, then proceeds to touch the metal he is about to weld directly...
How thick steel can I weld with a 5/64 electrode
Super Video, hab viel davon gelernt!
Hi All...I am getting ready to enroll for a TIG Welding course and have never TIG Welded ever before. Any advice would help, I'm nervous but not scared co's I know I can do this thing.
Brian Govender With a little bit of instruction, most people have no problem TIG welding.
Brian Govender oh great because tig welding s for humans even girls too.
Thanks for the encouragement
how about the argon.exact measure of guage
Good info
good job
I weld at 220 amp on stainless steel I make car wash vacuums
What would be a good First TIG machine and set up for automotive restos?
+graafx79 Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC. If you don't need to weld aluminum, check out the Eastwood TIG 200 DC.
did i miss when he must say the red electrodes contain 2% thorium? it is radioactive and you dont want to have that ground stuff floating around. or he did not say anything about 2% thoriated electrodes?
Thanks

wow... that was the fastest reply I have ever saw, I'm still watching your video.
tyvm for the quick reply :)

Thomas West the hand held mask is an observer's mask. So someone can grab it and watch. My inatructor used one a lot with my class
So you can sit down in welding?
Jay Rock When TIG welding, most people prefer to sit down, especially if they're using a foot pedal.
Eastwood Company Oh Ok
+Jay Rock It would be difficult to TIG Weld standing up as it requires the operation of a foot peddle.
If you have an unknown metal to weld, what can you do to know it's composition?
is gtaw and tig are dsame ?

Awesome Thanks!
Why cant you use 75/25 with tig? Ive been told that straight argon is for aluminum only Thanks in advance.
Hello!
I would like to know if tig welding feels kind of like soldering? Because I just can't manage the electrode welding /-|. Thanks for answering!
HI , in TIg i can weld normal cheap metal ? not steel . pls advice

You shouldn't have a problem using MIG welding gloves for TIG, cause I use my pair of Miller MIG gloves for oxyfuel welding and they work just fine.
Blue and purple the newest one called " non carcinogenic "
what happens if you use a broken cup?
tatatatata today junior!
your fillet is smaller than your material thickness. failure at this joint will oucur
Do you get through a lot of electrodes
Nice
Can you sharpen the tip of the electrode after your done welding?
Yes, you often need to re-grind the tungsten. Especially if you accidentally dip it into the puddle.
