Love the pipe videos! Started watching your videos acouple weeks before I went to welding school 8 years ago. Now I'm a union combo pipe welder/ fitter with nuclear certs! Thanks for the years of great content and tips!
I love all the tig videos. I don’t stick weld but I mig and tig. I get so much info from this channel. And please I beg anyone that needs som supplies check out the shop. I have bought the tig finger, small cup kit, and a Ceramic cup kit, come to think of it multiple tig fingers. Lol. They work guy and gals. If you don’t have one go get one. Thanks Jody words can’t say enough for your help
Been watching your vids for a few years now - and I gotta tell you - me and my miller MM 220 are having a blast! The things that I can weld up - and the welds look great! thanks to you!
When I was doing 1 g carbon pipe I used welding gloves for my TIG root so I didn't have to change gloves for the stick fill and cap. Other welders thought I was crazy not using TIG gloves but it didn't bother me for 1 g. I could still feed the wire. I was on a production line so a little time saving here and there helped the daily total. On the stick cap I would get the slag to peal off so didn't have to stop to remove slag on the restart or finish. Very minimal dressing on the toes. Just enough to distinguish the bead. A105 pipe pz6000 wire and philips 77 rods. I enjoyed doing that all day. I was on the 2" to 4" production line. Sch 40 th sch 80 mostly. Fun times in early 80s here in New Zealand on a big refinery expansion that ran for 3 years. I didn't get the chance to do positional but I didn't care. Manipulator welding suited me. Easy, fun and no stress and punching out nice looking welds.
Jody is all professionalism. You don't have to up with (other video creator's) goofiness, forced humor, or attempts at entertainment. You get practical professional advice and information every time.
Very nicely done!! With WPS's in last few places ive worked, we use 85-90 amps, 1.6mm wire and set up a 3.2mm gap (which obviously pulls in a bit as tacks cool) for stainless roots, keyhole it and keep the keyhole open. Most of the time then swap over to 2.4mm rods for the fill and cap passes. We dont use 3.2mm (1/8") rods at all. Ive always found using laywire technique and a 2.4mm rod and gap works ok on the top quarters or if rolling a butt, but trying it in position gives a flat root surface on the bottom.
I just love benefitting from your clear concise experience and how your carry yourself on your channel. Can I ask, because your audience is so broad can your please offer metric equivalents in setting/measurements so the rest of the world can be more instucted. America is one of the few countries to resist the metric system. Kind regards Jody, great work
Awesome video Jody. I was just really getting into walking the cup on stainless pipe lately usually just freehand weave or dab. But this video is really helpful look forward to the rest stay safe everyone 👊🏻
could you make a video about walking the cup and show penetration with the cut and etch test, you would be the first one to do it on UA-cam I think. Stay safe during this hard times.
Hi there, I have been watching your videos and have sparked an interest in welding. Just wanted a view on starting a welding career at 36, as well as being a female. Thanks
How timely. I have an on-site stainless pipe job coming up in a couple days. Your videos have been very helpful, Jody, and I still learn something with every one I watch. The products you sell in your store are great, as well.
Tig welding pipe is new to me. Should I back purge mild steel pipe as well? Like say for exhaust pipe? Or is this more for stainless steel, or mild steel to stainless pipe like your video?
Great timing, I've been trying to teach myself tig on pipe at home now that school is closed for the rest of the semester. Do you have any recommendations for controlling the about of root reinforcement? I seem to always get too much when I practice on plate.
For me, the problem is matching amps to fit up. Knowing how much heat based on gap and land. I have the same issues stick welding too. Lack of experience is my problem.
Not a welder, just intrigued since my son is training to be pipe fitter. Why are the 2 pieces being welded so far apart? What is the advantage of using so much filler? Thanks
I hae the tig fingers I do love them they help a lot But why do I keep burning up my torches. On A/C 80 amps ballance on 20 per on clean torch is toasted in about the third run of 8 inches??
Wow I really never thought I'd disagree with a video this guy puts out. I would agree that this method works, but there isn't really a visible confirmation that the tie ins are actually any good. Again this method can work, but I prefer to have visual confirmation that the tie in is 100% the last thing I want to do is have to make a repair where the tie in didn't work. I also never feather my tie ins but I choose to starve the puddle enough to where it keyholes and I can have visual confirmation the tack is broken down. Again I love Jody and what he's done for the welding community, I'm just giving my two cents.
Stepped it up on this one jody! Big effort, was this a customer job that you just so happen to film, or did u go through all that just for US?! lol that was some expensive material. Btw, prolly havent said it enough, thankyou for nurturing me along my 5 year welding journey the entire way, I have several certs but I accredit MOST my knowledge nowadays....to YOU! you are jammed packed full of it and SHARE. might get my CWI here in next cpl years. I'm in Indiana, is online best or where do u think is a good place to study/receive one? Thanks again!
Love the channel jody. I been subscribed and following you since before I went to welding school. Your videos and tips helped me get through welding school and pass some welding tests for a job. I was wondering how do you repair a pipe TIG root that you messed up on in practice? Lol yes I have messed up on these alot. I heard knowing how to fix a bad root is valuable?? @weldingtipsandtricks
Hello Jodi, I work at a community college in California. We've been shut down for a while now but we are talking about starting back up by doing online lecture and limit the number students in the lab on a given day. My question is what type of camera and/or lens you use for your arc shots? I've tried videos through a good but I was not the quality of your shots. Would be great if you reply. Thank you, Jose Rubio
Hey Jody, Your videos are awesome. I have never done any welding, but I respect your knowledge and skills. In which city are you located ? I would like to give you some business. Sincerely.
I dont know of any rule of thumb for flow rates but it seems like the bigger the volume, the more flow is needed ...to an extent. sometimes helps to have a diffuser with high flow rates. some really small parts might only need 2 or 3 cfh while a hundred feet of 12 inch pipe might need a much higher flow rate.
What welder was used for this? I’ve been thinking about getting an Everlast. I’ve heard a lot of good but I’ve also heard stories of them dying after a number of months. Don’t know
Jody did you use 309 wire for this? Also on scratch start, is it a concern that when you snap out, the hot tip of the filler is not shielded. Do you have to snip off the oxides as to not introduce contaminants for the next run? Thanks
I read your comments it said you used 309 filler, could have you used 316 filler or is that for a different application? What's the differences/advantages between them?
309 filler is designed for welding stainless to carbon steel. 316 filler is mainly intended for 316 stainless. I am planning on using the piece I welded for a welding stand and bolting the flange to the concrete so it really didnt matter much, but 309 was the best choice since the flange was stainless and pipe was carbon...hope this helps
@@weldingtipsandtricks Helps alot, thank you for the unexpected fast response. The only reason I asked this question is because I thought I read or seen 316 listed as bimetal filler rod. Keep up the great content I truly enjoy it all, even when I know what you're doing I still will sometimes pick something up I didn't think of. My best to you and yours!
I had an everlast 185, it went up and let the magic smoke out of the main board with the IGBT transistors and blew a huge hole in the aluminum I was welding. Cost more to fix then what it was worth
I read the carbide layer on the inside is prone to absorbing moisture so over time corrosion will set in. Tried both ways, purged is way nicer to weld and does a better job or you could try the flux thats avaliable
Ya know, with all due respect. I wouldn't know how to act if I was welding in such an environment. I mean perfect work height, probably heated and cooled. Not like a Texas summer day 104 degrees. In a 48 bay shop with all doors up praying for a fart to blow a cool breeze by. LOL
I just don’t understand individuals who put dislikes under Jody’s videos... Why don’t they like it? How can someone dislike such an art?
Those are the guys who can't weld lol

I just ordered this flow meter and my first tig finger yesterday! And heres a review from the man himself!
Just Started to learn great detail ill get it in no time thanks
The analogy with the bottle is all the money!!!

Great video, I am interested in the purge box you made, could you do a segment on making one!
nice root pass!!! ..and I like the purge tool that you made excellent..!!
I ordered a TIG finger from you a few weeks ago and I love it. Thanks Jody.
Great video. Thank you for your efforts
Jody, thanks for showing a welding technique I've never seen or thought of. Excellent video with high quality images and explanation as always.
Very nicely done!!

Great Video! could you give us a more detailed view of the purge set up and can you show us how you made it? Thanks for another great video
Good material!
Thanks for the video. I use heat tape that is made from Aluminum some are good to 400f. Others 250f. Does not burn like painters tape.
Thanks jody. You sir are a true craftsman. Keep em coming!👍
This really helped I got a massive amount of sugar in my pipe and this got me very little need to work on getting it to where it has no sugar

Any videos on tailing? Im starting a job in sanitary stainless and cant figure out how to tail the torch properly.

Excellent video! I noticed you didn't feather your tie in on the last run. Is that why you ramped it up to 105 amps? Noticed at 4:13 and 5:06
Great timing, I've been trying to teach myself tig on pipe at home now that school is closed for the rest of the semester. Do you have any recommendations for controlling the about of root reinforcement? I seem to always get too much when I practice on plate.
fit up makes a big difference. a tighter gap or slight land might help
@@weldingtipsandtricks jody do you ever use the backfeed technique sir?
For me, the problem is matching amps to fit up. Knowing how much heat based on gap and land. I have the same issues stick welding too. Lack of experience is my problem.
WOW good,good job
Thanks Jody

Jody is master Yoda of welding
Is it typical to always ride the wire for the root pass or can you dab too?
Great video Jody! Man I can’t wait to start welding some pipe! So why did you change dual flow meter brands from Flametech? Thanks and be blessed!!
the high density foam packaging will reduce damage in shipping
weldingtipsandtricks ok cool thanks Jody.
👍👍👍 again 😉
Thanks again!

What kind of portable mig welder do you recommend ? Something that welds up to 1/2 thick metal or at least 3/8 thick ???????
Hey Jody,
Your videos are awesome.
I have never done any welding, but I respect your knowledge and skills.
In which city are you located ?
I would like to give you some business.
Sincerely.
Always practical tips thx 🤘
You bet!
Great arc shots Jody.
Can you tell us what the rule of thumb is for how much backing gas is used?

How does the SPARC compare to the rather more expensive dual Victor?
Why would you purge mild steel ?
any risk of distortion on the flange side after welding?
Jody did you use 309 wire for this? Also on scratch start, is it a concern that when you snap out, the hot tip of the filler is not shielded. Do you have to snip off the oxides as to not introduce contaminants for the next run? Thanks
yes on the 309. and yes on snipping the tip of wire. I forgot to include a clip of snipping
@@weldingtipsandtricks great thanks, really liked this vid

Muy bien todo pero xq no nos traducen tantito en español
were you using the everlast ext? i been eyeballing it bad like bad bad.

I had an everlast 185, it went up and let the magic smoke out of the main board with the IGBT transistors and blew a huge hole in the aluminum I was welding. Cost more to fix then what it was worth
Jody sir do you ever use the backfeed technique?
I never really got good at backfeeding. I really need to practice it. its a great technique
@@weldingtipsandtricks yea i can do it but i would also like to learn your laywire technique
Looks a bit heavy on the root. I prefer J preps with no gap.Good coverage on the purge tho. Cheers
Do you sell xl tig gloves
yes we do. ours run on the big side too
🔥
👍👍👍👍
Been welding alloys for about 10 years and it still scars me not to keyhole.
For 304 stainless exhaust do you really have to purge 100% how much does it really degrade the service life
I read the carbide layer on the inside is prone to absorbing moisture so over time corrosion will set in. Tried both ways, purged is way nicer to weld and does a better job or you could try the flux thats avaliable
why was a stainless flange going an a carbon pipe?
I got a few free stainless flanges a few years ago. eventually, this will become a weld test stand bolted to concrete.
had to show how it was inside that clay was raw
Only purged stainless steel tubing. This technique isn’t necessarily
Ya know, with all due respect. I wouldn't know how to act if I was welding in such an environment. I mean perfect work height, probably heated and cooled. Not like a Texas summer day 104 degrees. In a 48 bay shop with all doors up praying for a fart to blow a cool breeze by. LOL
