    You’re my favorite welder on UA-cam. I pull out all your little tricks in the field and I’ve had 55 year old welders ask me where I learned that stuff 😂😂 you have shown me how to refine the craft in a very short amount of time!! You’re awesome !!

    Really good as always! I started out as a fitter too, now I do both. Love seeing welders appreciate a good pipefitter which is quite uncommon these days.
    Your welding is on point as usual too, as the saying goes; a good welder deserves a good fitter, a bad one needs a good fitter...

    Greetings from Brazil. I’m always learning a lot with your videos and experience. Thanks a lot to pass your knowledge to us. Please, upload more videos.
    I would like to request a video showing how to walk the cup perfectly. I’m having some difficulties to perform this skill. Always losing the path going on zigzagging. 😞😞😞😞
    And also having a lot of lack of fusion overhead and over penetration between the 3 to 12 and 9 to 12 o’clock.
    I will really appreciate it.
    Thanks a lot again and always be safe.
    🇧🇷❤

    I’ve been welding sch. 10 316 for the last year now. We usually butt weld every pipe. But biggest we go is 6 inches and everything is done in an automatic rotator. I see you rotate the pipe with your filler hand. You’re not worried about putting the oxidized wire back into the root? Great video though. Love the arc shots.

    • @X3MTIG

    I don't know how to do walk the cup. Is the head of your torch flexible or locked in place on the one you use for walk the cup? When I try walk the cup technique the flexibility in the head of my torch screws it up for me.

    • @X3MTIG
      @X3MTIG  3 місяці тому

      I use flex head, and you need better torch

    • @nathanielclause2588

      @@KrogunDK if you’re using a CK Worldwide head they are notorious for flexing to much. I’d go with profax, that’s what I’ve been using lately and it makes a hell of a difference man. You need something stiff enough to handle the position you put it in. It’s a lil pricey but worth it in the long run.

    Looks like APMs fab spot in Genesee. I remember watching the oilers lose the cup on nights in that exact spot 2024. I just copy the way you do it and I haven't had any repairs yet.

    • @X3MTIG
      @X3MTIG  3 місяці тому +1

      Argon is an inert gas, meaning it does not react chemically with the metals being welded. This property helps prevent oxidation and contamination of the weld area, which is crucial for producing high-quality welds. Mostly used on stainless steel piping

      Pq se ele for traduzir pode traduzir como um caso muito grande e não velocidade do fluxo de gás.
