    Thank you for a very interesting video. I have 2 Everlast MTS machines and I haven't used TIG very much (but want to). I try and learn as much as I can and someday I'll sit down and practice what YOU teach!! Thanks again for the informative videos.

    Going vertical down non-autogenous has always been a pain in my butt. Love going vertical up I'm pretty good at it. Never tried feeding the filler from the bottom and getting under it, I've always fed the filler from the top and always got stuck a lot. I'll have to try it like you showed here. Thanks a lot for the breakdown

    Great video dusty! Welding vertically has always been, and still is, a challenge for me but ive always wondered if up or down would be better.

    Great vid bro, and 100k subs. . Yeah boyyyy!!!! Btw you ever Tig copper? I have a project coming up, I feel I can make it work but I've never touched it other than torch brazing. .

    In a TIG class right now, i got ot doing vertical some reason maybe just what i heared somewhere before i just started at the bottom and go up. IT made a lot more sense to me too as heat will rise so it will just get simpler to melt and can let offf amperage if need to. I think too it just seemed more awkward to go the other way so i never bothered. I just tried overhead too and besides hard to see what your doing i think was surprisingly more like a normal flat weld. I found if can't see just give the pedal a small tap get the HF arc then can see some and get in position and start the weld.

    I up hill and down hill outside corners alot, I do go about 5-10amps hotter down hill with pulse and I prefer the look vs up. Flatter, fast and with pulse it looks good. For me shines as much as welding flat and I can see from the inside I've got good pen. Just my 2c

    Did you let the material cool between the uphill and downhill passes??

    Great video. I do have a question about these outside corner joints. I've had constant problems with blowing through the joint. Your example on 0.125 is being welded at 100-110amps. Using that guideline of 1amp/0.001 material thickness, do you typically find yourself turning your amperage down about 20-30% from there. I also find myself pushing my filler through the joint and by that point it's all kind of got to s**t.

    hey Dusty I've a question which might sound stupid but I'm not a welder, yet. Figuring to have the piece locked in place as first condition, what's forcing us in welding "downstairs" instead of up, if we have more control, definition and finishing going up?

    Hello
    I love your work
    I’m welding aluminum casting with no problem , I weld for fun , I want to ask you if you can tell me why after I flap de weld I have very little holes I don’t know how to send you a photo
    Thank very much

    • @JackOffAllTrades
      @JackOffAllTrades Рік тому +1

      Cast aluminum sucks. Spend some more time letting the cleaning action work and slowly heat the base metal should help with the porosity. Using a carbide burr to get a clean surface on the casting is also a good idea.

      @@JackOffAllTrades Justin from fabrication series has a pretty good video on this. And youre 100% on. So porous all that stuff is coming out the casting as it heats up.

    So is this more based on technique or preferences

    Do you ever use clear Pyrex cups for aluminum tig? I know they can pop because of the amount of heat being outputed. Is there any clear Pyrex cups for aluminum that you know of? Thank you in advance

    • @JackOffAllTrades
      @JackOffAllTrades Рік тому

      Edge makes quarts cups that are suitable for high amperage AC tig. They're not cheap, but they're very very nice to use.

    What kinda tungsten do you use for aluminum?

    • @venture17fly
      @venture17fly 2 роки тому

      Purple or green 3/32 or 1/8th depending on thickness

    • @JackOffAllTrades
      @JackOffAllTrades Рік тому

      Purple or chartreuse. No more green pure tungsten.
