Going to have to try a flex head. Never used one yet. Looks helpful
@KANEKIDWELDS3 жыл бұрын
The Flexloc is my favorite! Ck has the best torches in my opinion & make great flex heads, but they do wear out eventually. The Flexloc torch has a semi-rigid pressure swivel that allows for infinite repositioning without work hardening the annealed copper twist in the standard flex. It does run a bit warmer than a complete water jacket head, but I don’t see myself turning back at this point!

Love that file man, works great! Exquisite job as always rush! Love how you give shout outs to people in the community that all contribute towards a better and more enjoyable tig welding and fabricating experience. Speaking of, I will probably hate you up about making that ring after the holidays, Then upgrading a few things around the shop and of course taking care of Christmas and what not lol Peace brother, Keep Blazin!😎🤘

When I try to do the same thickness aluminum plate, my very first firing melts the aluminum. And I've tried reducing the amperage so low that it doesn't weld at all then. I have yet to weld 0.065" aluminum. 0.125" I can usually start getting welds to work, but it too doesn't look very good.

I highly recommend a flexible body file and holder you will love it there abit sharper than your average file but you get used to it and you can get all different tpi files and just swap them out great for any sheet metal plus you can curve the file in both directions or use flat

Hi Rush, your welding skills are amazing. I'm very much a beginner. Would you mind suggesting settings for a basic machine for butt welding 1.2mm 1050 aluminium please? Like cfh, electrode size, ceramic cup size, stick out, amps. I can't change frequency or do pulse on my machine and I'm really struggling! Either seem to melt back edges or not enough penetration. Plus no foot control 🤔I can't really use a chill block as I'm welding up hammer formed body parts on my car (perhaps the metal is thinner as a result of the forming?) Best wishes, Christian, England.

Hahaa! Thank you! It’s good practice to clip the end of the filler if it has been atmospherically contaminated. If the end is kept inside the inert zone, then there is no need.

@RenKnight3473 жыл бұрын
I am a future aspiring welder and your work is phenomenal. But since this is a video on eliminating impurities from the work piece as much as possible, this is my two cents worth from the aerospace industry.... Once you've wiped down the work piece, because your hands have impurities and oils on them that you're transferring right back onto the work piece, it's highly recommended, unless you're allergic to them, to wear nitrile rubber gloves. Also, acetone will leave an invisible film if it is allowed to evaporate dry. And acetone evaporates fairly quickly. So, in addition to wiping the piece down with a clean wet wiper, it should be immediately wiped down with a clean dry wiper before the acetone dries and repeating this process until both wipers remain absolutely clean from any residue. Lastly, acetone is some nasty stuff where the use of proper personal protective equipment should not be an afterthought nor overlooked. Hint: Nitrile rubber gloves are not enough protection when using acetone and it will destroy the gloves. Instead, there are special acetone gloves designed for this purpose. Be safe and happy building!
