Nice to see you using a older machine it shows everyone it don't matter what kind of machine you have is the welder not the machine that makes the weld its the man that makes the weld.

That was awesome! I've been teaching myself to tig after a lesson or two with a professional, and I could not get a tack for anything. Your technique worked for me.

Hey thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, it's a good feeling when you can help others out.... I'm just passing on with somebody showed me

nice, learned this trick many years ago from jody's tips n tricks but forgot it till recently where i was having trouble tacking 1/16" ss sheets outside end corners before fusing, was a pain in the ass trying to tack those ends without burning or getting them to fuse till remembered this trick but you need to floor the pedal and release as soon as it zaps unless you got the right features on the machine that allow just a light tap ,i was able to do it without helmet even at 65 amps and made short work of it just zap zap zap nice little silver zaps ,saved me frustration and lots of time and each one was 95% success

I’ve watched 40 plus videos on aluminum welding and always struggled to figure out the instagram guys do the quick tack welds. Thank you!!

@Guzzi Fabrication Worked excellent. I was welding a 3/8" tab onto a 1/2" leaf spring. A quick blast to my machine's full 200 amps at each of the tab's 4 corners had it placed firmly and the rest of the welding didn't budge anything. Super technique!

I would have melted an 1/8th inch from the edge on the tack for a fillet or lap using normal settings with aluminium. I really like this approach for tacking. Especially when it comes to stainless pipe with a gap. It's so hard trying to line up chamfered pipe without it going out of alignment! I'm interested to know what the strength would be like if you lay rod on top of that? I want to weld car panels and theres so much heat in TIG, if this was a viable with rod I would happily slow down my work rate to get less metal distortion. Great video, thanks!

This is great, thank you! What about ramp down settings and other settings on the TIG machines? Can they be left at wha you'd normally bead the weld, just the current up double? Also what is that cool device called that you use to weigh the parts down? I've never seen one of them and it looks really handy. Thanks again, Mike

I think you'll be better off with a laser welder for gold jewelry. They're much more affordable than they used to be. This would give you far more control and precision, along with magnification optics.

Thanks for the tip! How many amps are you running? If it's double it and 1 amp per thousandth, are you running 500 amps on 1/4 plate? My machine only goes up to 225

@guzzifabrication3448

2 жыл бұрын

1 Amp per thousandth is a great rule of thumb for normal welding, if you do in quarter inch plate try your machine at 200 amps then 225 amps I'm sure either one will work. thanks for watching

​@@guzzifabrication3448 make sure your argon is 99.999% pure. 99.99% isn't pure enough for tig welding aluminum. Why nobody is talking about this - is beyond me. (99.999% is called argon 5.0 (five ninths, then a zero (or higher number). 99.99% purity is called argon 4.0 - four ninths then a zero. for aluminum tig welding, argon 4.8 (99.998% pure or higher) is what you need. I had my fair share of cr*p for using argon 4.0. also, make sure they vacuum your argon tank (out of air or less pure argon) prior to filling. and never empty it completely out after.
