💎💎💎Take a FREE online Tig class on my website HERE👉 www.pacificarctigwelding.com/ Thanks so much for watching 🔥 Check out the other episode I mentioned HERE🔥 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr6AZtiIrb2rf4E.html

Thank you Dusty for your kind words and attitude. Just about to start with TIG and love your tutorials. From an Oxy back ground and some time ago as well. Have the new machine. Hope to start soon, Cheers.

Just came across this GREAT Welder. You gotta love a humble and inspiring teacher, all the best Dusty

I’m in welding school currently and we are finally in tig and I love it and your videos have helped me so much I’m best in my class and I’m able to help my buddies thanks man

Dusty, that was an excellent instructional video. You kept on topic really well and your quick summaries after each section helped solidify the learning.

Thanks for the info! This video actually answers my question posted a bit back on another video!

I’m really impressed by your teaching skills and insight, to say nothing of your welding. Great videos.

I’m a complete beginner, starting welding 4weeks ago with a view to getting some well paid work in the future, I already love it and I’m really enjoying these vids you make, keep it up!

Semi-new to Tig welding but bought an Everlast 252 Sti and honestly, JESUS H. CHRIST this simple little video brought my skills up 10 fold! Awesome tutorial and I appreciate the knowledge you share with the world and the easy way you lay it all out for us regular dudes! 🙏🏻

Thank you …… I’ve watched this several times so I bury it deep in my mind. This really helps. Thank you 🙏. 👍👍😎👍👍

Like your message of positivity. There isn’t enough of that is the trades.

Awesome!! I love your advice!! I never though about using fill as an "insulator" for your base material.

Just started TIG in school! I love it so far!!

Best repayment request ever. That's the good stuff.

I just got the CK Worldwide 26 Flex with the red whip. Bought it after seeing your CK WW review & it totally makes my AC/DC inverter sing. I'm just using standard cups at the moment, as I'm still learning & want to nail this before moving onto gas screens, bigger cups ect ect....keep up the great work Dusty!...Cheers from lockdown in Sydney....

Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I am just getting started and playing in the garage with a Forney 220MP machine.

Thank you for these videos. They have been most helpful as relearn how to weld and learn how to TIG weld. I have been making small things and will be working on some larger projects soon.

Ordered my first welder and you were one of the KZfaqrs that made me feel confident that I could learn this skill. I look forward to learning more from your videos.

That was super chill and insightful. Thanks dude.

Been welding mig and stick professionally for about 3 years. Picked up a Alphatig 201XD this year and paired it with a CK Worldwide Torch and Furick Cups. Been using it heavily all year on Stainless, Mild Steel, and Aluminum. It's performed really well on bigger jobs where I've had to weld bigger sections of handrail. For a starter I would highly recommend checking it out. I still go back stick welding since that is my specialty but it's always nice to pull the tig out for some more relaxing welds.

Been welding stainless, inconell, titanium, hastaloy, berrillium you name it for 40 years or more. 37 with a worldwide corporation. Have many certificates, pressure vessel. Acids and nuclear piping. Really no surprises with 304 or 316 SS. Make sure it's clean and on pipe prepared to a 37.5 degree angle and properly purged to eliminate sugar and walk the cup. Many hours of that will produce a machine quality weld. I like your videos, you are a very talented professional tradesman. Keep up the good work, it's a blessing to have someone that is willing to pass on all the professional tips that you do.

Hi Dusty I really enjoy your KZfaq channel. Back in the 80’s I did a one week course at the Stoody Hard Surfacing school in Anaheim Ca. On one of the days they took us into their area where they were experimenting with new techniques. One of the things I tried was TIG welding with hydrogen as a shielding gas. When I tell people about that they usually respond with “But that would burn!” Yes it did, but with a very soft flame. The major benefit was that it gave a very shallow penetration, which may have been beneficial in some applications of hard surfacing thin materials. I live on Pender Island. I’d like to drop by your shop someday and view your art work. Cheers Glenn

Never done TIG but absolutely echo the remarks about cleaning the work well for any kind of welding. It makes so much difference. That said I have managed to get a good bead on steel, using stick, through quite thick scaly rust, just to see if it could be done.

Thank you very much!! I appreciate your way of teaching!!

Thanks Dusty for sharing your knowledge. I use primarily a ck worldwide #9 series flexhead torch with gas lense. Do mostly sheetmetal work

Thanks, that very helpful and very important for welders. I love my Everlast for shop work, and Miller maxstar for outside. Will try making welding use your experience, going make sparks right now..

Clamping aluminum cooling/backing plates is a super useful way to keep heat out. They didn’t teach me that at school, but I learned it real quick on the job.

Thanks for the video. Just bought myself a cheap second hand tig. Starting to learn.

Clear presentation and very beneficial. Well done.

Thanks brother ,I didn't know this!🙏

Thanks for the excellent videos...!!

excellent channel. very professional filming, I wish these videos were available 40 years ago when I learned TIG in school and would end up crying with rage and frustration in my booth.

Great info thank you!

Very nice, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your tips and techniques that come out of passion and experience. Vancouver Island has an amazing artist community. Good surfing in Torfino to.

Thank you man, love your.work!

excellent, really refreshing attitude

Just subscribed today was my first time tig welding and watched a couple of videos and they really helped !

Hey dusty youve grown upwith tech ! We scratched n learnt keeep going pal ! I teach as i weld you explain things i for got ! 👍len australia welding st/ st 30 years

great tip and presentation, thanks

I use a CK 26 watercooled torch, on a YesWelder with some aftermarket water cooler, Furick cups, and surprisingly this machine rips! I get great welds, though a lot of that is due to watching lots of your vids!

Dude…. That is the best request anyone has ever asked for. Way to go man. Random acts of kindness. R

Dusty. I really like your teachings as to how to start and get the proper speed and heat, but what you don't mention is the filler rod sizes. And I think that is just as important as the temperature. Thank you so much.

Learned heaps from your vids man keep it up.

Congrats, nice job!!!

Fill and chill I always say to my classmates..they look at me like I'm crazy!! But your advice has me at the top of my class

WELL DONE!

Nice video Dusty. Also, the Dillinger Escape Plan is freekin awesome.

Grazie per i trucchi Polveroso.

Hi Dusty. I just bought an Everlast 185DV and I cant wait to learn the art side of Tig welding. I NEVER tig welded before....lol but you sure make it loo simple....hahaha I'm sure its NOT. I will try a piece of artwork soon on SS. Thanks for you amazing video's and for sharing your experiences and failures....that's how we learn. Looking forward to more video's.

Thank you... very informative. I jyst got an Everlast 255 tig machine, I have yet to set everything up , but when I do I may have a few (lots 😃)of questions. Beautiful work bro🤙🏽

I love tig. Several years I was tig welding special things for a government contractor. We had to weld everything- stainless, aluminum, steel and titanium( in a sealed chamber). I loved it as every weld had to be perfect as possible.

Thanks for this.

Lincoln tig 200, I am very entry-level and have actually only used it for stick and once for aluminum. This is a cool video and I hope to get an opportunity to do some stainless welding and get that cool multicolor effect.

Ok I’m watching this, and other videos, for a project I’m doing Friday or Monday. I should be ready by then if you can count watching you weld as experience haha!

Thank you for this and your other videos, they are very helpful. I am a complete novice. In answer to your question, I am currently using a very standard set up of standard ceramic cups and collets on a 17F torch. I have tried some of the fun glass cups and gas lenses, but I have come to the conclusion that they are largely of no benefit until I get the basics under control, so I am sticking with normal ceramic cups for now. When I can actually run a bead and feed some filler with some consistency, then I may try the fancy cups again and see if I can get a benefit. Thanks again for your concise and well presented tutorials.

You’re awesome!

I came here for knowledge and gained it. Forever coming back after peeping the Dillinger Escape Plan hat in the background 🤘🏻

There's a related thing like this is soldering - something I wasn't taught, either, but which works very well. Basically, create the puddle attached to the soldering iron - then you dip the puddle onto the board, and when the lead and board are hot enough - the puddle automatically transfers itself to the board and you're done. I never had to worry about overheating the board or the component. It looks like what you're doing is creating a slightly oversized puddle and walking it down the material as soon as it transfers ITSELF to the connection. Neat.

I just picked up the HF pro tig 205 today!

Your channel is sweet! I use an HTP Invertig 221, Edge consumables, and a Miller Weld Mask.

Gidday first time making a comment after finding your channel, great advice, I'm about to start learning to Tig and as an 'old man' lo, i love the tutorials out there. I have a Michigan 200amp ac/dc should be fun eh

Everlast 325EXT with standard consumables. Just ordered a bargain Pyrex kit. Been using E3 purple. Just ordered some blue 2% lanthanated also. When it all gets here ima headed to the bench to play.

Awesome 👌. Good vid, good channel.

Awesome Vid! Ya might wanna think of trademarking that "fill and chill" haha your technique for sure helped me with all those coped joints.

Thanks Dusty!

1/16” SS is relatively easy. Now have a shot with mild steel - 1;16”. Without blowing holes…. I enjoy watching your vids, and happy you can’t hear me swearing, 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for posting. 👏👏👏 👋👋👋 🇦🇺

Great video Dusty.

Hi Dusty. Great vid thanks for the tips. Love the “Fill and chill”. I just bought my first welder it’s an L-tech 250HF with a water cooled Tig torches foot peddle and thumb control and a box full of tungsten and lenses. Stick welding with a peddle has been a game changer. I can back off as the base metal warms. But that’s not why I bought it. I want to learn to TIG aluminum and Stainless. Thanks for your lessons.

I run a CK flex torch on my AHP 200x, and use either ceramic or Pyrex #10 Furick cups, CK collet bodies and wedge collets. Works pretty well for me.

You are so right. Learning the skill to do what you do is not possible just watching and listening to you. Where do we sign up. I'm ready to start practicing! Thanks.

Thanks for all of the knowledge homie even though you’re n Canada lol! But fr. U r a good teacher and I learned a lot. Am a mig welder and would love to learn all the way around. But I will definitely think of you and apply the knowledge I’ve learned today to the task at hand. Ty again brother n god bleeds you as always ……Harold

Love the videos and your work man they have helped me out greatly. I use a ck worldwide flexloc 150. This torch changed the game for me. With a 3/32nd gas lens and 3/32nd lazyr tungsten paired with a furic bbw ceramic cup. Stainless is a ton of fun and your tips have made all the difference for me. Keep up the awesomeness.

always nice to check in on your video,s 10/10

You're a good dude mon bless you

Im currently using an everlast 185 DV. For stainless I've been using Furick stubby gas lenses and various ceramic and pyrex cups, depending on what I'm doing and how much gas I want to use. Long runs are getting the BBW (sometimes the fupa or the moosenuckle, but for serious stuff, it gets the 19) treatment, but for tacks and short beads I'll use a #8-#10 pyrex cup to save some gas. Good tip about the fill and chill, I hadnt thought about that and I try to get moving as fast as possible to keep the heat out, but filler makes sense too.

I primarily use Edge and Furick cups with ck worldwide gas lens. Plus a ck worldwide, 19 water cooled torch setup, and a Fronius magicwave 230i tig welder.

Excellent

Lincoln Square Wave 200, standard 17 gas cooled torch body, Stubby collet kit, MFurick Jazzy 10 is my normal go to lens, but have a FUPA 12, and the 8 as well in case I need to weld Al.

Great lessons

I’m a Tig welder and I approve this video 👍🏿

I have a miller 130 mig. It's great.

You are a genius

Moved from a Binzel WP20 to a CK230 Flexlock, always use super flex cables, a zip up cable cover and I add my own strain relief at the handle and machine end to keep it running for years. On the front of the torch, for stainless, 4130 or other materials requiring the extra attention I run either a Furick 10 or 12 white ceramic (fupa I think it's called) or an XL gas lense with whatever ceramic does the job. For aluminium, when it's under 150A delicate stuff I use the CK with normal collects and ceramics, but if it needs more than about 150A I go to my Binzel WP18SC, this is the type Super Cool where the ceramic threads directly to the cooled part of the torch body (as opposed to the collet) which greatly improves the life of the ceramics and stops them exploding on you for high amperage AC. I'll admit, I'm watching your videos because even after 15 years in the trade and 8 years running my own business I still have loads to learn, I especially find helpful the stuff about gas shielding flow rates, maybe this would make for a good video? Thanks

You got me on edge. I currently have a stubby edge set up going. Pyrex cups are great.

one of the things i found that really helped was knowing how wide my bead should be, coming from mig the beads were a lot bigger and i tried to make them the same just not knowing and put way too much heat into the base metal trying to get a bigger bead.

Thanks Brother

Random acts of kindness! Amen Brother!

I loved using my Miller Tig and after showing other people how to use a tig they bought their company one. I need to get a new welder.

Running a CK17F 3/32 Lazr Tungsten with a #12 Furick for Stainless and a #8 Ceramic for Aluminum and CK gas lens on a Primeweld 225, not the most top dollar setup but definitely works for me.

Subscribed!

I started welding at age 19 and continued on until my retirement a few years ago. I have a provincial first class ticket, have qualified numerous times for CWB and held a B pressure ticket issued by ASME for the last twenty year on my work life. I was also TIG certified for steel, aluminium and stainless steel. You have missed two very important things that are literally rules when it comes to TIG welding. First, for any TIG welding, if you stick the tungsten to the parent material when welding don't weld any further until you use a stainless rated grinding wheel and grind out all of the weld at the point where you got stuck. When you stick the electrode when you break it loose, frequently the tip of the electrode is left in the weld. If you don't grind it out you will find that you have a lot of trouble with porosity and getting the filler to flow. In addition, if you are doing welds that must be waterproof that tiny bit of tungsten will cause a leak. Second, when cleaning stainless steel or aluminium with a wire wheel, make sure the wheel is stainless and never use that wheel on mild or carbon steel. The problem lies in the transference of metal onto the surface being cleaned. A carbon steel wheel will contaminate stainless or aluminium and render it less that perfect for welding purposes. If you use a stainless wheel on carbon and then try to use it on stainless or alloy you will have the same problem since you contaminated the wheel with particles of carbon steel.

Another trick I use for controlling heat on joints, is using many small tacks to allow the heat to travel evenly through each piece. A good trick for steel field fit ups in the field that are massively gapped.

Got a standard 17 torch with all standard consumables (standard pink ceramic #5 and #7 cups with a standard collet bodies). Seems to work well. Especially only tig welding for a year I heard it was better to use standard while you're getting your technique correct.

Arc length, gas flow, torch angle, tungsten size, rod size, travel speed, material thickness and amperage. Not much to consider when welding stainless 😳

I run the 64-A2 with the McInbocker ends & sometimes run the ficMillups borm burm to gap the rimel rod

Fill and chill! Works a charm. Always in my head 🤣

Great machinist. Knows his business

This was great I mainly do aluminium tig I use 5 or 6 sized standard 9 series cups adapted to suit a ck 17 touch and It always works well. Fupa 12 for stainless Fupa 10 for steel Love your work!!!

I use "chill bars" for reducing what we "call heat mark" on stainless steel. Just a simple aluminum backer. Luke a flat bar, or angle. At least 1/4" thick. It works like a heat sink. We use this when flat welding stainless steel countertops. I'm usually successful with zero warp.
