I have watched a gazillion videos on welding, mainly yours and the awesome Mister Chucky2009. I learned more about TIG from this single video than you would believe. I finally get it. Thx.

@rcfreak2493 if you go strictly by the math, with the flowmeter set at 12 cfh the tank would last about 10 hours of constant welding depending on how much postflow gas was used after the arc. ... not exact due to the surge at the start, but its close enough for figuring the cost of tig welding.

Hope your getting something in return for these videos. They're very well done and a great help. I'm sure someone out there could find a criticism, but for someone brand new or fairly new they sure instill confidence and prompt you to start trying/learning which is the biggest step. Your speaking in plain terms that people can learn from. Too many people try to analyze to whole damn subject before they even touch it for the first time. Especially TIG welding. A lot of people still talk about it like its magic and get up on a high horse with the technical terms and the dollar figures for equipment.

I want to take the time to let you know Jody just how much I and im sure many many other people enjoy and learn so much from you're welding tips and tricks videos! I've personally learnt more from you're vids than I ever have anywhere else! my tig welding was pretty good before I first found you're videos on KZfaq, thank you for making the information so easy to understand and so easy to get! massive fan from the UK! keep up the good work dude. thank you

Hey Man, I guess you had comments disabled on your previous video about the TIG finger. FWIW, I see no problem with promoting it here. It is an awesome invention and I hope you have the patent for it or that it is on it's way. I came here because of a comment from Tom Lipton on his channel. I am watching your back-log in earnest to get an overview of the welding processes and finally get my first machine. I am a mechanical engineer (not a PhD, what a relief) my career didn't take me into working with my hands, but it was a good career. But I grew up building and fixing things. Now in my later years, I have a desire to get back to working with my hands. I just ordered a TIG finger. Aside from a few rusty old welding rods that came with my first house (left in the garage by the previous owner who had passed away) the TIG finger is the first piece of welding equipment I have obtained toward my semi-retirement repair and fabrication activities. Love the videos, Best Regards, Rich

I 100% agree with your take on 1 or so seconds per pulse or 30pps and above. It's not an aid to beginners and is really an advanced technique that will screw up a newbee. Another way to make it more 'tirck' is to have a fast pulse rate AND pulse the pedal.

3-4 pulses/sec works *great* for stainless sheet metal. I use that frequency often for welding 16ga stainless (no filler).

I agree with you, 3 pulses are aggravatingly distracting. If you weren't epileptic before you started a 3P weld, you would be after a few minutes of that.

Deffinitely need a new video on this...especially with silicon bronze.

you are crackin me up. " build a lifting lug and hang grandma over the grand canyon" hahaha

Good Video Man, Im a welding student, and i really did learn some stuff with this video.

Jody, as a noob, I can follow most of what you say and do but what I don't quite understand is when and when not to do a weld prep. I would have thought you would have prepped this job to give better strength rather than welding up to a square face. Thanks for your videos. Better than Breaking Bad . . . . . . .well almost!!

Another great video!

Very nice videos. Great narrations....excellent teaching skills. Very good job.

I miss my grandma and still cant weld.

Pulse rate is annoying at certain rates due to sympatheic heart rates. 3 pulse per sec causes anxioussness.

Awesome commentary. Great arc shots!

Great video this week. I agree the 3-4 pps was awful to watch. I couldn't put up with that.

As much as I love pulse tig welding with my everlast welder, I don't think I'll be trying that 3-4 pulse per second experiment any time soon. Just as my brain is getting used to the arc flash it goes out and when it gets used to it going out it flashes again. It makes me nauseous!

i love watching this videos i learn new tricks all the time thanks man!

Another excellent video. My brain is getting bigger.

I like to use pulse welding

0.6-0.9 PPS is good 5%-15% background and a peak time of about 35%-40% those settings on Dynasty 250 DX. I was able create unbelievably consistent and aesthetically attractive welds with that combo, super easy to do also.

Leaving the wire in the puddle (around 3:15)... is it feasible to lay the filler wire in the joint angle then just use the pulse feature to melt it in place or would that not leave enough filler in place? It's difficult to see if you are still feeding wire into the puddle or just leaving it static and melting it as you move the torch.

This man should be a professor :)

This is great information. I've learned so much from your videos. Off topic question - what model Everlast welder is that in the background?

Well done Jody, I love to see the e-mail alert to a new video, keep up the good work, the longer vids are great, I must get on to you for a T-shirt, you do sell them,,,,don't you :) regds Gordon Ireland

So i can see the benefits of pulsing for hole filling etc.. But if I were to do this, lets say on a 16~14 Ga. SS fitting, welded sanitary (inside and out) In your opinion, would there be a huge benefit. I do have the Miller Syncrowave 350 LX Sincerely, an old school metal worker that has not worked with pulse.

awesome , instructions just off to pulse tig two cans together fusion stylie

"This is your brain on drugs...." :D

Thanks for the video Jody, first rate as always my friend! (non-ETOPS)

Great video Jody 🔥👊🏻

You are awesome! Insane welder

about how long would a 125 cf argon tank last me when welding? say welding strait. for X amount of hours. how many days would a 125 cf last for you?

Lovely videos, very interesting and wants me want to try a lot of different things when welding! (:

Unrelated to Pulse when you weld each side is it better to go part way around the corner before stopping? It would seem stopping at the corners then restarting the next side could create a weak spot in the weld. Your thoughts?

The way you introduced this video I thought you were going to connect the pulse rate to the types of metals you could weld, but you didn't. The video leaves me with the impression that the pulse rate you selected was pretty much a matter of your personal preference or choice, but I don't really believe that. Is that true?

I only ever use the pulser on super thin stainless like .20 thick.

I wonder one thing. Pulsing in the DC mode has a high current and a background current which gives an average of current between high and low current setting. But how about AC when the balance only goes between negative and positive, then the current on the readout is more accurate right? So for instance, if I weld on ac mode and some chart says I have to go for 120 amps, then I just set the readout on 120 right? And If I were to weld DC with a chart value of 120 amps and chose to use pulsing with a low background current, like your 33%, then I have to crank up to maybe 170 (well, more then 120 to higher the average against the recommended 120A)? And last, and most important question for me, in AC mode, I know I can set my balance which vary cleaning, and also frequenzie which alters how often to switch phase, BUT as in the DC mode with background current and that type of mode with pulsing, will turning on those knobs affect the AC mode welding too? Or is it just balance, amps and pulsing, those three things that is relevant in AC, so no background current and such? Phew, that was hard to explain, I'm a swed. =) Btw you could maybe do a video on that too, that explains the very difference between AC and DC pulsation settings.

Thank you!

Great stuff!

good teacher

When you are using a foot pedal, doesn't that override the max and minimum amperage settings? I can set the "peak Amps" to 125, but the base amps stay at 5 and you can't change it when the pedal is plugged in. this is on a Razoerweld 200 acdc. Are the base amps dictated by the position of the foot switch after the initial "Click on" and up ramp motion once the pulse starts to "pulsate"??

Buenos videos

@16vastraturbo I have the same problem!

Cool ...very informative,Thanks

its seems like tig welding produces less heat since the welds aren't glowing after you stop welding, is that true?

Seems that the higher the pulse rate, the more controlled or narrow the weld run is managed - doesn't bleed to the edge /etc, but structurally speaking does the higher or lower pulse rate affect the strength of the weld assuming identical materials? Has that ever been tested?

I know man I was laughing my ass off at that one.

Jody can you do a video on the advance pulse of the Everlast 210ext?

What are some suggestions for welding 4” stainless steel piping As far as pulse welding the root, fill and cap

can you do a video on the best methods to weld 1.6mm stainless steel tube.... :-)

Hello, good day, I have a syncrove 350 and I don't understand what the pulses below one second are for, example 0.2 0.5 seconds? Thanks a lot

the problem ive been having with leaving the rod in the puddle is that the end just keeps balling up, how can i prevent this.

Now that was some time ago:)

Once you go above a pulse frequency of 20 -30 Hz in manual welding you have no benefit, you may as well have the arc continuous.

Have you done 100% penetration on stainless with pulse?

What does one pulse per second do to auto darkening welding lenses? are they going to constantly be cycling on and off? Should that let you keep better track of what's going on by seeing the surroundings during the weld?

Do this on thin ss sheet metal and tubeing

can you use dc pulse instead of ac for aluminium? thanks

My welder gets up to 300 pps , when would I use this?

At work, they make us pulse at 4.4 pps. I thought I was going to have a seizure last night.

Damn that slow pulse was annoying ))

pulsing is cheating unless done with the pedal.

I like to use pulse welding
