In the market for a TIG Torch? maybe this video will help you decide which one is for you. There are all kinds of TIG torches available so in this video, I show a bunch of them. Air Cooled #9 tig torch, #17, and #26 Air cooled torches also. Along with the popular #20 style water cooled tig torch
Your a natural teacher - Good job, with your videos.

Plz carry CK Worldwide's 17 aircooled version of the flexloc!! By the way I purchased a tig finger from you about 6 months ago specifically for the weld test they give where I work now... It, in my mind/opinion, is a must have for a welder in their toolboxes! The test the give is I believe the same as the UA-31b maybe... It's a 6G 3 inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe/tubing with a consumable insert and the 3 different supervisors stand there with u and watch you lay down every single pass...They couldn't believe how steady my hands were, how uniform/even and nice looking my beads were because all they've seen is ppl freehanding it and fail quite often, but I owe it to you for putting out an awesome product that can help ppl such as myself improve their skill and to help attain great paying jobs!! And when it comes down to test time it's time to show them what you've got and ur is a big part of where my skill level is today!! Thanks from Tennessee!!
This is hands down the best, clearest, and comprehensive instructional video on TIG torches out there. Outstanding
This guy is a legendary weldor! I love the information and instruction that he gives. Fantastic stuff!
Man oh man, your welding skills just blow me away! Those welds looked like they were done by a computerized machine only better...I guess that comes with lots of practice. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I dontreallycare for it..like at all.. lol I lost it
May I you commend you for providing a very professional lecture and detailed demonstration on TIG torch welding techniques. I'm a retired old time welder and structural engineering technician, having started back in the mid 60's. These welding videos bring back memories of having completed jobs that left one with a feeling of satisfaction, having accomplished something of value with one's own hands and skills.
Nice
Grant Walker. nice
I could not have explained my feelings any better. I'm not a professional but I love the process of welding and what comes out of it. I honestly can say that I got hooked on welding from watching Jody's videos and was giddy when I bought my Everlast welder.
weldingtipsandtricks Hello I have been watching all of your videos and am a big fan. I have a Lincoln Square wave Tig 175 and was doing a small repair job on a steel bracket this weekend for a friend. I was having issues with the torch lighting. It kept wanting to light from up inside the torch from the gas lens. Torch is a Lincoln PTA-17. I ground and tried new tungsten, double checked my ground, cleaned my piece and to no avail.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Yeaahh! Finally someone have explain which way is good in this "torch-jungle".... I really appriciate! God bless you!
Water around an undersized power cable that's a brilliant idea, what could possibly go wrong
I have a bic lighter that won't weld much. But it was an upgrade from the old matches.
Sir, you helped me understand so much it makes me want to learn more about this "welding ".thank you!
I am a wood worker.

In previous videos I watched you use a CK #9 flex head and a CK#20 (water cooled) swivel head - got so impressed I purchased 2 of them for my welders (I sold the Miller 180 Sycro and the Miller 200 Synco and replaced them with a full bundle 200DX including wireless foot control) I have also use the CK #9 for setup and tweaking and then when getting down to just pushing weld I use the CK #20 and will weld at 120/160 amps till my fingers melt (even with a tig finger - takes a long time). The welders I sold went with a miller cooler and the swivel head torches - I have stayed in touch with the people that purchased the ones I sold and they just love the torches and your recommendations and both of them have subscribed to you.
Also gave the each 2 tig fingers to make sure they can do a great job
Can't get better than that
thx

Just picked up a Everlast PowerTig 200DX as my first TIG welder. Your information was timely as this unit has a plug for a water cooler, it came from the factory with an air cooled torch. I'll upgrade as my skill set improves.
So far I've done TIG brazing of dissimilar metal, some 4140, and mild steel work with it. I have to give you much of the credit for what I've learned about TIG. Thanks Jody.
Good video. I have been Tig welding since 1979 but always learn something. I mostly weld 4130 aircraft weldments. My favorite torch is the water cooled weldcraft 20. I got over 20 years out of a Linde HW 20, I consider that pretty good since I used house water for about ten of those years. Current machine is a Miller syncrowave 351 but I really want a Dynasty 200 dx after trying one at a trade show. Thanks for the great videos. Kevin
Jody I have to ask about the way you hold a torch. you hold it like you are holding a hammer most of the time. sometimes you hold it like a pencil.
is there a science to the way a torch should be held or is it just a matter of comfort and how to get in where you can fit in???
thanks, great video
Hey Jody, I recently bought your Tig pro consumable kit. I really am liking it. So this may sound crazy but I am using a weldcote auto darking hood $145.00. But when I use ceramic gas cups or any gas cups I get arc flash. I take the gas cup off and go to the regular long cups I get no arc flash with hours of welding. Same exact material and amps I took my hood back to my weld supplier because I thought it was the hood. Came home fired up welder exact same thing with brand new hood. Do I need a better helmet. What do you recommend!?
Hey chase not sure if you fixed your problem but was reading thro and saw this. If you adjust the sensitivity and delay on your hood. It will help with this. And move your head so you can see the arc more it should help
Thank you Weld Master Joda... Tig, Stick, Mig, Blow torch. This Kat does it all !!!
Hello, I am wondering what tig welding machine is best for its value?
This video is gold
What amazes me most about your welds is the amazing consistency of the final product. I like to think my welds are almost as strong, but even with bracing and practice I rarely get such a consistent bead.
Man you make it look so easy :-)
Hey jody i wanted to make sure before i considered getting one. The CK 150amp flex lock uses the same collet gas lens and rooster tail as a normal 17 style torch correct? Want to make sure i dont have to get a different style hardware
This is the best welding channel. So little advertisment although he has a store. And for once someone who is actually a beast in welding, not just welding shopowner!
can you post a video about what cup i should use for what situation?
thank you.
Always an excellent presentation!
Thanks, Jodi! rc
Thank-you a lot, excellent information.
REPLY
Excellent information, thanks for sharing.
excellent as always, Jody! -DH
you answered every queston i could think of
Do you have any experience with Kemppi torches?
All thumbs up!!! Always learn and smile a lot while watching Jody. Quick and gets to the point. A wealth of great advice, tips and context for whatever you're welding
very passionate man when it comes to welding, really appreciate your videos Jodey, Welder in training here, just got on 2G TIG last night, going to try an test out combo as soon as i can weld stainless, down here on the gulf coast in the refineries/chemical plants, keep the videos coming thanks
I have a Lincoln precision tig 185. What do you recommend?
I just ordered a WP-17-25R 150 Amp Air-Cooled torch set-up, to hook up to my Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC welder. If I'm welding 1/16 sheet carbon steel, do I have to get a mix of Argon &Co2, or straight Argon? Also, I'm learning the tig process, and still having issues making a good bead in the 3F position. Could you, if possible give me advice or post a video addressing this problem?
Jody, I have Miller 250 syncrowave, with a a/c torch,, I would like a water cooled torch, !your thoughts?,, Merry Christmas !,, Love my Tig finger!
Nice video, Judy. You asked about torches and welders we are using. I have water-cooled CK flex-loc 230 amp torch with a #7 gas lens and a 10 year old Lincoln Precision Tig 225. If I can find the money I just might get an Inverter, but I had a bad experience a cheap Everlast a few years ago so I will probably look for a used Dynasty.
You are amazing. You make THE best welding videos online hands down. Most educational, most friendly, most straightforward, everything. You would be the number one guy to apprentice under for sure. Speaking of which, are you willing to take on an apprentice? *wink wink*
Got a Miller dialarc HF 310a machine and a Miller Radiatir-1 cooler, I want a CK torch with a 25' reach, found one on eBay for $160, comes with the ck20 torch and another setup with a ck200 torch, which one should I get?
I have an old Miller Dialarc HF. I just burned up the torch. The torch was very old. I would like to buy a new torch with a hand control option. I would also like to use the Furick 20 cup you recommend. I am welding .125 thick roll cage the majority of the time. Some aluminum welding. What torch would you recommend and do you have them in your store?
I have a 1st gen Diversion 180. Massive torch with start/stop button and amp dial. Would love for you to come out with a 17 torch and cable kit that will thread right into my machine!! Would like to support the Real Mr. TIG! ....lol thanks for the vids.
hi there jody .. I love my speedway sw-320sa its the best thing i have ever owned. do they make a torch that fits a fronins transpocket 1500 tig that is as good as the sw320 that you know of. thanks glenn.. Sydney australia
Jody Awesome don't stop, one stop welding education, sharing your knowledge like this is outstanding.
One thought, off topic. Have you touched on vision as in using glasses or eye-ware under the helmet? In my old age of 53 I am frustrated in really seeing my weld bead like I use to . Any suggestions or video tips you can share on using eye-ware with a shield may be helpful. Sometimes I get messed up with focal lengths and or with reflections inside a helmet that make me have to stop laying a bead and that's all bad.
Ken, in NC
I'm sold on getting a water cooled torch for my everlast tig welder. I like the fact the torch is smaller.
love the long videos
Love your videos, You said I one can hook a water cooled torch to any welder? What about a Eastwood Digital tig 200. Love the welder but long runs on heavy aluminum and I will fry my 17 that comes with a 200 amp unit. Would love to hook a water cooled of the same size.
What torch and how would I hook the lines? its gas cooled style torch?
Hi I started off with a cheap hf DC machine 200amp, I wasn’t happy with the results so decided I need to upgrade to an A/C D/C 200amp machine with all the whistles and bells, I’m now able to produce what I would consider to be reasonable welds, but one thing I’ve wondered for a while and I’m probably going to get shot down for this, why is it not possible to lay a length of filler rod into the weld and weld over it, just asking 👴🏻
Obviously Jody is a big fan of air cooled torches but there's no place in my shop for that.Been in business 30+ years and water cooled does everything...period!Perhaps the hobbyist is fine with air cooled but just can't imagine anyone operating a welding shop without water cooled!
Hey jody I run a new arc RT2000 and I have only used it for stick and thinking about see how it runs on tig and never brought a new tig torch and I like button (H.F) start and just wondered what u would recommend?? (My name is Tommy)
Hey Jody I just bought a everlast power tig 250ex with a water cooler. I'm just using the torch that come with it but would like a better one. I don't weld anything thicker than 1/4 inch steel and 1/8 aluminum. Which one would you recommend that would work with both metals. I would like one that flexed I think lol please help me out and I will order one from ya lol
Awesome video to provide perspective on TIG torches. Do you have a video talking about TIG torch cups? I can't seem to find any. Thanks!
One of your best videos to date! Thank you for some much needed information!!
What’s the best consumable kit to purchase for the ck 200 2 series torch? Didn’t realize when purchased it wouldn’t even come with a single collect or cup . Even the cheap air cooled torches give you sample kit 😂thanks
What what torque should I get for my SA-200 welding stainless pipe up to 20 to 30 and what aluminum machine should I get an TIG torch
Great informational video as always
I’m curious how the rv antifreeze is working and any one else is using this stuff. It’s close to 40 bucks for actual tig coolant and here at our local Walmart in the spring time rv antifreeze is 1 dollar a gallon so if it works this would be a no brainer lol. Can anyone get back to me with any info or experience they’ve had with RV antifreeze in a TIG cooler
Thank you Jody for all your videos great stuff
i have an MILLER stl 161. what tig torch do you recommend? i do stainless steel. I would like a torch and i was thinking of putting a furick 17 on it.
Jody, I just bought an old Lincoln idealarc tig 250 and a Lincoln 300, the machines came without torch, hose, and water cooler. Can you give me some advice on where I could get some torches and hoses for them?
you showed less than one minute of water cooled torches...I do 90% plus aluminum so am always using water cooled...you say you don't listen to your water cooler but I think a water cooled small (wp20) torch would be an advantage to almost everyone...

I’m looking to ungraded to a liquid cooled torch. I’ll make a diy cooler if possible. I have 2 Lincoln idealarc tig300 machines. I do alot of repairs on aluminum boats
Don’t buy a torch with cheap hoses. The water cooled ones may leak, and the air cooled ones are so stiff that they make manipulating the torch more difficult. Especially in a cold environment, the cheap vinyl hose will fight you. Junk.
Thank-you. excellent information.
You talk a lot about the stubby gas lenses, I don't know if you know I am sure you do but you should mention how you can use the standard 9,20 series nozzle with a 17,26,18 if you buy a collet body adaptor. You don't have the gas lens but I like them better for aluminum especially higher amps because aluminum does not need as good gas coverage it cost quite a bit less then the gas lenses and it holds up better with higher amps it does not replace the gas lens for things like stainless but it is most definantly a replacement for the standard 17,26,18 consumables.
If you curious about where many of those guys on instagram learned to weld including the one reference about ToxicFab, many of them learned on the Honda-Tech Welding and Fabrication board, before that place it was rare you would see any of that kind of work on the internet. You can find ToxicFab first posts and his first welds there. He and many others learned how to weld from the posts from user agtronicmotorsport who you can find on instagram. Google the title "Post your best welds!!!!!!!" and it will take you to the the section of the site.
excellent video! please i would need some help, can someone tell me if the w9 (air cooled) and the cs310 weldcraft (water cooled) have compatible collet bodies and back caps? i would really appreciate. Regards!
Hi buddy you are my idol I like watching your movies. You are a teacher to me. Would you send me your welding mask with your autograph to Poland. Please 😭
I just started welding with a syncrowave 300 the size of a small refrigerator with a water cooler. No peddle just learning the old fashion way.
Hey Jody, Have you done any reviews on tig water cooler. I need to get one for my Dynasty 200, but coolmate 1 seems overpriced to me, any suggestions?
Queria muito ajudar os meninos que estão hoje no meu país sem fazer nada e nas ruas, mas hoje estou sem condições de trabalho e sem condições de ajuda com o ensino fundamental de solda. As crianças no meu país só vão para um caminho,, tráfico e venda de drogas!!!!!! Moro no Rio de Janeiro, e a minha cidade era tida como dormitórios e agora os traficantes estão adotando as crianças cadê vez mais cedo!!
I have a Kicking Horse MA200TS welder. Do you carry a air cooled tig torch to fit that?
As a sales representative I would set my website up as a brand air for hobby person and water cooled. And price points as a lot people look at first. Unless your using it too make money on a normal base. Thanks for showing the difference of tig torch tips. Question say never used and spoiled with water cooled. What air would you uses like a lot hobby or farm hand uses.
Every Inverter Welding Machine support TIG welding?
شكرا لكم على الدروس في الحام وطريقه الإستخدام اتمنا من الجميع الإستفادة
How can I convert my water cooler wp-20 tig torch to hold the bigger air cooled cups so that I can walk the cup in better conditions ? I run a Miller dynasty water

I have the Miller CST 280. Which torch will work better? What do you recommend water or air cooled?
Thanks for that helpful video, Jody!

Man, great video. One of your best, most informative yet!
would like to figure out a good torch flex head and pyrex lens for a dyneasty200
just got a new machine 225 amp max everlast mts. want to get a water cooled small torch. an suggestions, thx brother
Do you have any videos on water cooled 50’ leads, im curious to what’s available?
Looks like you're getting the hang of it!......(Smiles)
Hey man I picking up an AHP Alpha TIG 200 DX. In Mr. TIG's video review of the machine he commented that he felt the torch was junk, don't even bother with it. Can you give me a suggestion for a replacement torch?
remember mr. tig is a salesman, and just a salesman. he tells you things are crap and then tells you that you can buy something from him for a lot more $$$. he has some useful info but only if it benefits his store
That explains why he comes across like a used car salesman.
I didn't think it was a bad torch.
i have enjoyed using mine for about a year so far and i have complaints
That mr tig salesguy liked to snub his nose at the torches that come free with Everlast welders too. Even the really good ones that Everlast is now shipping with their upscale welders. I felt that guy was a snob. My torches have definitely been good enough for me.
Do a in depth TUNGSTEN review PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY type of tungsten there is
He's already done that.
Thanks for keeping it real.
Sensational! - just no other appropriate word for it - now I finally understand
I use a Farmal water pump going through a heater core from a mini van going through a mini fridge ?
HI , in Tig can i weld normal cheap metal ? not steel . pls advice
Отличная работа!
buenas noches caballero disculpe la molestia el mensaje que me mando lo borre en un descuido por favor sera que me lo podria reenviar se lo agradeseria
pipe welding and boiler making is a good way to start welding to gain valuable experience. then u can do side jobs and even start ur own welding business if u wanted... but mainly I suggest starting at a good welding college and getting all the certificates u can get... train from good college instructors that's the best way to go ...
Holy smoke; so much to know, to learn - thank goodness for videos such as yours. I am totally new to tig welding, deciding to go tig rather than oxy for mostly brazing purposes, of which I have had nothing but problems: much smoke, spatter and the blowing of holes in 3 mm mild steel plate, as I have tried and failed time and time again to bronze fill cutouts of a metal sculpture I have been working on for some time now. I have up and down the amps, paid particular attention to ridding the metal of surface impurities, cut the argon flow just to see if it would make a difference, but all my efforts have been in vain. My machine is a UNI-MIG WELDING ARC 170 DC INVERTER AIR COOLED using pure ARGON, so if you or any of your subscribers/viewers have any hints and tips it would be greatly appreciated. By the way, your welds are nothing short of works of art. Just an observation, dear sir, but true nonetheless. Best wishes.
Can you please recommend a tig gun to plug into a miller 300p diesel welder?
SA-200 and I want to get a good aluminum machine TIG aluminum
What's the difference between a CK20 and a CK200 torch?
Jody I use a CK FL150 and a CK TL210 on a Dynasty 200DX.
mig-tig & stick welding each have their unique skill sets. so that means alot of practice in each... the more torch time the better..
Sry for the bad reply I meant sch 10 stainless pipe
Don't let the woman know that welding the rest is possible
Love all your videos Jody. Thanks so much. You have taught this old dog some new tricks!
