I have been at it almost 40 years. I work with guys who have been at it a long time and they still can not grasp this at all. Many golden arms at there but they are not golden at all. Good job.

was looking for how to correctly LAND a GRIND but this works too

@WesternWeldingAcademy

Yep

Does ASME section IX allow for the use of a grinder throughout the whole test? My school only let me use one for the root and then took it away after. Never ended up getting my cert because I wasn't confident with the little bit of slag on the toes from the hotpass with 7018.

This is gonna help me out for my next attempt at 6G pipe root

Glad this helped! We have more tutorial videos, go check em out 🙌🏻

How will this work for a Tig root? Will thye landing be too big?

Fit the pipe up tight and run a walter .062 disk and create the gap, this will also give you a land at the same time, run a 6010 5p+ at 130 amps, you gotta move because she runs in hot haha

Im still tuning in my preferences, we are taught 1/8-5/32 landing, 3/32-1/8 gap, though I prefer using a flap disc as it makes a smooth landing.

I'm taught 1/8" gap, 1/8" landing and 1/8" rod. I prefer a 3/32" gap so I can just drag the root

4 tacks every time unless your welding something small. Tie ins are something you need to know how to get right every time.

First like let’s run it
