It’s 2024 and I’m feeling the same way and doing the same thing. TOT is probably the best channel on the platform, and is by far the most entertaining.

God, I grew up watching mythbusters. A shame the slop kids are growing up with now.

Never knew they made them to read that high of DC amperage.

MAX R.....They make external accessory jaw clamps that then plug into the multimeter low ac input. I have one

@@davidlawrence8085 👍🏼

David Lawrence amp clamp babyyy

But, in the video, he didn‘t use it properly, because he said, that hes welding with 80 Amps. The meter didn‘t show amps, it showed the voltage! Hes welding with 0.80 V DC! He cannot measure the current, just because inside of the meter, there s a fuse with 10 amps.

2 years later: This video was gold. I had to send people clips because I was splitting sides

The tip has a say 5mm tipout from nozzle, you are meaning that the torch must be at an angle say 60 degrees to the vertical. Then the torch will rest on the nozzle. You are correct.

Hadn’t heard this tip before. Just starting to Learn tig.

@@FreeMind5094 ???? Did you watch the entire video, A large part of the 2nd half is TIG welding. The name of the video is even "will it TIG" TIG = TUNGSTEN INERT GAS welding

greanstreak04 Lol 😂

good one! lol

greanstreakk04, I like the advice but I think it depends on how similar in makeup your belly is to that of a porker! A "one size fits all" approach doesn't work here! As a amateur inventor I think I might try to add a flat cooking surface to the welder so a person could multi-task with welding and cooking at same time ;-P You might even put the display to use doubling as a cook temperature indicator? The bargain factor gets better and better!

Edu What have you done?!?! What did I just see? Why would you post that, you knew we would go look! You monster!

If jou can master scratch starting like this you can save some money on Tungstens and expensive welding machines by just using a cheap Inverter-welder. Unfortunately old oil bath machines won't work firstly because they have an AC output and no way to keep the arc going between each alteration in polarity unlike inverter machines that can use AC-TIG to weld aluminium. I think I ran away with my comment a bit but using your filler wire to initiate the arc helps a lot if you weld in akward positions where you cannot reach the button on a torch

As a tiger welder myself, the most important thing is to keep the dart gun handy. If the tiger wakes up and sees what you attached to her... well, One Leg Jimmy refuses to say what she did, but he's deathly afraid of alarm clocks now.

Nah. Hf boys hf

I’m late but, as a tiger welder a good rule of thumb with scratch start is to not let the tiger touch you while it’s scratching or starting. Utilize the large piece of meat on a wire and drag it across the enclosure of the tiger quickly, but without making yourself look like a snack at the same time. Takes practice, but will stimulate and feed the tiger, and save your legs from being eaten.

Dang, we got a tiger welder in here

Rofl That tickled me too.

It has a 100% duty cycle if you put it on a 30amp breaker and use a piece of filler rod to wire the breaker locked out it also doubles as a shop heater if you don't mind the smell of magic smoke from the caps

@Hudson Yeah that's a good idea , needs to be 100% for commercial welding , this will make things a lot easier than dragging around some big old clunker .That thing can't weigh more than a couple pounds.

@@jmy7622 One of the accessories that came with mine was a shoulder strap! Seriously, you use short welding cables and a long 220 V cord and carry it around with you. Makes sense if you don't mind dragging a 220 volt cord around.

😁.... 👍

Gotta watch out for the cable farmers though, they got pissed last time I went out to harvest.

I like to use garden shears with uncoated metal handles because they’re nice and sturdy. Make sure you leave the gloves at home too, you’ll want the extra grip your bare hands provide

@@kirkendauhl6990 Your helpful hints are appreciated... 🤭.. no worries in California tho, the insulation is already baked off the wire and powered down.... 🤓

colab with electroboom on how to correctly harvest the limbless tree cable?

First thing I would have done is wire in a case earth at the very least.

The problem with that is this beast puts out 2 voltages with reference to earth so if you put the case in contact with earth when you weld you have a path for current to flow from the -ve to earth ....... and that can cause problems! Wierd spookines can happen ;0) That is IF I understood OT correctly ...... again one of us (or both) cold be wrong (coughs) Err ... Giving the wrong impression!

@@totherarf the other solution is if you get a machine with no built-in earth fucking dunk it straight into the bin (or back on eBay)

Dave W That’s why You should put live to the case instead =D (Don’t do it!)

Just use a good 10 rolls of electrical tape on the body of the welder. You should be alright

The man said "set the death toaster to maximum overdrive" and that's what you want on a shirt?

NO DUMB AREA

It needs the image of the electricity zapping the balls under the text.

youve always been able to tig off an arc welder power source. nothing new there.

BULLSHIT!!!!!! hen you are running reverse polarity 1/3 of your heat is in your electrode 2/3 is in your parent material. Straight polarity reverses that so you are now getting 2/3 of the heat in the electrode

lol.

10 minutes later, I'm still giggling over the thumbs *

For a minute there I thought they sent gloves intended for the Simpsons.

@Press tool Makers Not very helpful to an English speaking audience. There are no subtitles and only a couple of minutes of actual welding which is useless without understanding what you are demonstrating unfortunately. So for your blatant self promotion, you get a fail.

when i was around 12 i actually 'borrowed' my father's welder (huge transformer that i was struggling to carry with two hands). the welder had one of the wires missing in that moment for whatever reason so i have plugged the welder in the power socket, connected the 'wireless clamp' and kept asking myself why is not working ... looking back i could have died or go blind as i had no mask either so thank god for the 'wireless' clamp :D

Yeah, looks like it even the breaker thinks it smokes too many packs a day.

It demonstrated its "graceful automatic thermal shutdown" protocol twice... each time it blew the Breakers Hahahahaha

At 23:00 there is kind of termocouple mounted on radiator. So there is possibility for " graceful automatic thermal shutdown " without magic smoke :)

What do you mean? The smoke comes out to let you know it's overheated. It's a perfectly good indicator, no need to waste money on fancy LEDs.

they looked ambidextrous.

Omfg I was still laughing when I found this comment

Yeaah, I can see why they are similar, both involve having the heat source from a sharp metal point in one hand while feeding the core with the other. And seeing it that way, MIG welding is like if stick and TIG welding had a baby boy. But, soldering is moke akin to brazing, only at higher temps, the metal from the cores serve more as glue than filler like in welding. I think your joke might have flown over my head, but screw it, I just wanted to explain that XD

@@embededfabrication4482 Its the same general process. I use a pointy hot thing to melt metal to bond two pieces of metal. It was a joke lol

@@omarh789 I USE LIGHTNING

No it's not. He did some brazing with TIG. ANY welding involved both base metals melting.

@@MrSticks9999 You missed his point. He was talking about the way you handle the tools, not the actual process taking place.

New to this channel; that was a hell of a first impression. I was so taken off guard.

@thesledgehammerblog - YES , the ordinary consumer equipment (like TV / Radio etc.) 230 V & 32 Amp UK socket should fit

Dont forget the battery!

Funny that was my first thought too.

@@Mishn0 Much theft!

lol my grandfather did the opposite. He stole some of his huge 300 amp welding cable for jumper cables. He worked on log stackers for a living. Those Huge machines that can pick up an entire semi load of logs on one grab and one tire is about 7 feet tall. Well your normal little car jumper cables are going to melt when you try putting as much current through them as you need to crank an engine that big so he made his own Industrial sized jumper cables. They're hanging in my dads shop now and they work awesome for jump starting cars.

im going to have to try that

After scratch start welding for a few days you can get the scratch down to where you dont even touch it to the metal, just swipe it over so close that the arc starts. Very minimal contamination

I've used copper to start and drag it.over

The shop teacher got me to stop sticking the electrode by not letting me near the welding unit

Never underestimate the lack of capacity for some beings not to get the electrode stuck

bxxj it’s Chinese 200 Amps, as we saw this translates to 128 western Amps ...

@@SmilingDevil with only 1/10th the insulation as well :)

@@SmilingDevil Honestly! It's just that American Volts are HALF the chinese volts. That's why the welder was struggling.

About 3/4 of worlds population uses 220 Volts and the U.S. is still struggling with 110V ?

I'm wondering exactly the same thing. A welder would be a "nice to have" giving me more options to do stuff, but it would be taken out at most a few times per year. So a big brand investment is definitely out of the question. I've been looking at "Stahlwerk" welders. It's one of those "designed, developed and quality controlled in Germany" companies. Their welders aren't even that cheap (but still less than 1000€ for a full AC/DC MMA/TIG/plasma combo including helmet and a few consumeables). They even offer a 5 year warranty, "tryout welding" at their german headquarters and Amazon ratings aren't the worst either, so they can't be that bad, can they? I'd really be interested to hear what an experienced welder would have to say about those. On the other hand they also have welders that look almost as sketch as the one in this video...

This experience might help you: 12 or 13 years ago I was in the same boat. My hobby is farming and I need to be able to fix/make equipment. I researched for quite a while and had a toss-up decision between 2 or 3 multi-process machines. I went with a GianTech because there was a rep with a good rep in my country. It's a TIG, stick, plasma combo. Everlast was one of my options then and I wish I had chosen them, but there was lots of bad mouthing about all of the import inverter machines at the time and I wasn't able to find a good rep. If I ever get a new one it will be an Everlast, though I'll probably go with a dedicated plasma cutter rather than a 3 process machine. My machine is cheaply made, and has all of the chintzy things you'd think it might. Very basic ground clamp, stinger, and cheap TIG torch. I run it on 220V. I've been using it regularly, about once a month, since I got it. I do everything from quick weld repairs to fabricating tractor and farm implements - metal from 1/16" sheet to 1" bar. This weekend I made a new grate for my outdoor wood boiler from 1" bar. For the ~$500 I paid for it, I have no complaints. I've never replaced anything on it, although this weekend did I break the air regulator off it dropping a bar on it. I'll get a replacement that allows more pressure and that should improve my cutting ability - it struggles with 5/8" - 1/2" plate, and I'm pretty sure that's my air pressure and quality (plasma likes lots of dry air). Also, I never did set up the TIG so can't speak to that (would like to, but I get by without it so can't justify the cost). I even still use the original crappy helmet it came with. Would I like a better machine? Sure. Do I need a better machine. No. If all you do is hobby/learning, you'll probably like the multi-process machine just fine. And the quality, features, and reputation of them has improved greatly since I got mine. As @Mr T says, check out Everlast. Lots of pros on KZfaq use them so search around to hear their reviews. Their SuperUltra 206Si is about the same machine as I have except mine is only 160A stick, 40A TIG (IIRC), and it comes with a foot pedal and the plasma uses a pilot arch (mine does not and that's a pain sometimes). HTH.

Hey Nick, if you are going to get a multiprocess machine, don't get one with both TIG and plasma. They don't play nice with each other. I've had good results with an Everlast stick (MMA) welder, and MIG welder. They also make multiprocess welders too, but I haven't used them personally.

@@COBARHORSE1 What does "not play nice with each other mean"? It's not like you can use those at the same time. Otherwise the electronic function is quite similar for TIG and plasma: (realtively) low voltage and controlled current. Why would a combination of the two in one device make them work worse?

I’ll add a vote for my Everlast combo box. What can I say, had it for years, and it works great! Not used in a commercial environment or anything.

Well to be fair, the type of people who actually work with something like this are probably already a lil shy in the digit department... Or at least they will be soon seeing the way this things grounded. 😬

Fun fact...on the Simpsons there is one character with 5 fingers in his hands....God.
