The arm motion is what i was looking for as well ty

[@cybertree]

Thanks you sir, you are the man! That was the key piece I was missing that it *comes from the ARM!* I've been cursing at my wrist for a couple of weeks now!

[@X3MTIG]

Excellent!👍

[@arshadmasih0410]

Best teaching sir and God bless you ❤

[@Then.72]

Only problem with people who can’t weld freehand neatly is they are stuck when you have a field weld that is close to a wall & can’t be walked but I do agree that it’s great for speed & comfort as you can stand & roll the pipe or vessel etc

[@jeepwk6.5L]

Most field welders can do both

[@Then.72]

@@jeepwk6.5L I know many that can only walk the torch but their freehand is no match

[@isaacquintanilla1726]

@@X3MTIG excellent video. Amazing skills. Do you prefer the 70s6 over 70s2. If so why?

[@X3MTIG]

@@isaacquintanilla1726 Thanks bro. I prefer ER70S-6 , got high level of silicon, and gives you more control over weld puddle, easier to manipulate.

[@tonisiqueira9543]

Sim mestre observei que tenho de manter sempre uma linhagem de direção para que meu trabalho tenha um ótimo visual no término da soldagem obrigado pela orientação 🙏

[@X3MTIG]

Yes my friend, very important to have good control for nice looking cap! 👍

[@mamunurrashid724]

good job sar

[@brunomasella4956]

could you make a video on how to hold the wand and how to feed the puddle when we do walking in the cup in the final pass? i have the problem that i get a bead that is always flat and not convex

[@X3MTIG]

Sure buddy, when I get chance I’ll do it.

[@brianbeaubien7371]

[@nickmalveaux6131]

Should I turn my heat up or down when it's time to run my cap pass?

[@brunomasella4956]

nice! i wanna work with u master!

[@X3MTIG]

Maybe one day!

[@spacewalker_98]

Can you please recommend the current i should set for practicing on a SS plate?

[@X3MTIG]

Depends on the thickness of the plate!?

[@heathwatkins2509]

What temp would you run on 1/8 stainless rod for fill and cap?

[@X3MTIG]

Depends on the pipe thickness, but somewhere between 120-140 amps

[@heathwatkins2509]

@@X3MTIG appreciate the reply brother.

[@wathqf.6612]

If the argon gas is dirty, what are the defects and problems that appear?

[@X3MTIG]

Chances for having a dirty Argon are very slim, but it can happen. The first thing that you would notice is porosity, especially if you use it for purging.

[@Jack-tp5ji]

Hi X3M TIG do you use a rigid or flex head torch for walking the cup?

[@X3MTIG]

I use both, but prefer flex head.

[@Jack-tp5ji]

@@X3MTIG Thanks👍

[@king82382]

Any trick to avoid slip during walking the cup on the bead?

[@X3MTIG]

It’s not a trick it’s more of a tip I can give you. Don’t hold your torch to tight, relaxed hand and hold on to the lover part of a torch handle.

[@sergcyxa]

Also I found when you run too hot or your ceramic nozzle made a lot of kms of weld

[@nathanielgonzalez151]

What amps do you use in the
root?
Fill?
Cap?

[@jackguess762]

Why do I trail to one side when walking the cup ?

[@tannerclower3967]

your favoriting one side when walking it, focus on even and full ranged back and forth movements

[@bretth9887]

Walking the cup wad developed for old shaky guys
