12:20 That #8 was always my favorite for stainless; inside corners the stick can come out a bit further, and outside corners you can bring it in. Also, a piece of aluminum angle behind that pass would improve all 3 of those welds. I just love your videos. You always have good information about CFH and amps that other channels neglect.

Still... after all these years you present an easy, no thrills, hard-hitting lesson. Thank you Jodi for continuing to share your wealth of experience.

During this hard times, I mean, I'm not getting bombed or anything, but fellow apes are... This is all a welder needs, seeing a puddle of molten metal, being manipulated by another fellow welder, to perfection, It is so satisfying to see you weld man. Thx :)

I've been welding over 45 years and watching your videos I feel I need to start all over. Of course, every job and workplace is different and not that many require precision perfect welds. 90% of the metals I weld are anything but clean, especially aluminum. Once in a while I get to weld stuff that is actually well prepped, I hardly know how to respond. Someday I'll have to try and get some of those fancy gas diffusers you have, just to see what I've been missing.

I don't think I would even know titanium if I held it in my hand and it wasn't marked.

A welding wizard in true form. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience!

Thanks Jody, starting an aluminum job this weekend. Been practicing up and watching a lot of your videos lately,

I learnt a lot watching the gentleman's videos thank you 👁️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have this pro kit it's awesome real time saver using the primeweld also got from the weld monger store I have welded with Miller dynasty 200s and lots of other machines I am quite impressed with the primeweld 225

You need to be very proud. You made plenty of good welders all over the world, and I am from Macedonia 🇲🇰 like you channel and found very helpful for welding all technics. Thanks a lot

A lot of thought sure went into this one ... I think maybe your best one you packed into an under fourteen minute video yet Jody . :) I always learn something from one of these videos, thanks Jody . :)

Wow, thanks!

Clear cups saved me from bad welds, I don't see well (no matter the distance lol) so the extra light makes a huge difference. Bigger than I would have ever imagined

"Trying to weld in a bowl of corn flakes." If you're not a welder this comment wouldn't make sense to you 🤣😂🤣

There’s a lot to learn in tig welding. But that motivates me to learn 💪🏾

Very informative, well rounded presentation. Just the info I n3eded and more! You really hit home just how important having every just right is. Sometimes I think I don't need different consumables on small jobs, But, It can make a night and day difference like you say.

Thanks

Thanks for the information Jody, I just bought a. Brand new HTP 221 watercooled Tig welder with series 20 CK torch and am looking at your kit this video is what I needed to understand what you put together.

Good luck!

My goodness the best welding video tips handsdown. Thanks. I learned many things on this video alone.

always wonderful Jody, cheers from Orlando, FL...Paul

Great video Jody, thank you very much for the Master class!!

G'day, Jody, great educational content. I have been in the fabrication/engineering game for 45 years but I never fail to learn some tips especially on aluminium. Thank you

Fantastic amount of good stuff in this video !

Hey Jody, can you please do a video on tig welding brass using brass filler rods?

Thanks for sharing with us Jody, enjoyed the information. Fred.

Beautiful bro, never welded anything and wondered what the cup welder thing was. Thanks for making this video, very satisfying to watch and listen, honestly.

Brilliant video hope to purchase the tig pro kit asap

Aí sim hein uma bela apresentação de kit para soldagem valeu mestre obrigado pela apresentação 🇧🇷🙏

A brilliant gentleman thank you 🇬🇧🇺🇲👁️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What I'd like is a nice laminated cheat sheet to hang on the wall :)

thank you , I will watch this more than 5 times.

Thanks for the great knowledge I’m just getting into tig 👍👍

Fantastic video Jody...thank you

Glad you enjoyed it

You just taught me something ive been wondering on stainless.

Ok, i,m ordering one or maybe both kits. These look real handy. 👍👍👍

clear cups very good for tight spots

I weld intake aluminum pipes for 30+psi of boost the same way - just moving the torch up a little bit every time I add filler. Helps a lot! 🤙 #5 cup works great! As for the titanium... for the exhaust Ti pipe even Fupa12 isn't enough, I use #20 monster style cup.

Thanks for the good tips.

Love the snap sound of the filler going in. Also of note don't jam that rod into the bottom of the plate that can cause a lot of problems.

The fixture you had Adam make is a show piece.. it looks so great on camera....

Hi Jody, I just got a HTP221 a month ago at their reduced price. I was puzzled to see that there was a feature to independently set amperage for EN and EP when doing aluminum. Seemed to me to duplicate balance butI ran across an old comment by Zank on your forum to try setting EP amps HIGHER and compensate by an 85-90 bias to EN. Did you ever try this? If so, what did you think?

That was excellent.

You mentioned only Argon as the gas used. Did you weld all of those materials with straight argon gas only?

@weldingtipsandtricks

100% argon

Wanted to ask you for a recommendation on welder for Stainless, aluminum, titanium, and steel.

A bowl of corn flakes! 😂😂 Great video... I've learned a lot from you, and your delivery is spot on...

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, may I ask you, wich is the best tungsten for stainless? Thank you

contaminated tungsten "stop and break tip off" . How do you break the contaminated tip off without it fracturing?

Jody, love all your videos. Would you happen to have a recommendation for welding, steel rule, die material, it’s .028” thick, pre-hardened tool steel of some type. I have been tig welding it but with mixed results. Any tip’s would be appreciated.

i recently bought a tig welder (vulcan tig 205 from harbour frieght), how do i find out if these tig kits will work with my torch, and if thats even an option, im very new to tig and have no idea if the consumables are interchangeable at all.

Heyhey jody would like u to ask a shielding gas question as it is have u uses formier as shielding gas thank u advance !!

Hello, please tell me which is better for welding the cylinder head, aluminum TIG or MIG?

Hi Jody, Re “Zank’s Krazee Idea”. I just got a new HTP221 “on sale”; didn’t know what to do with unequal amperage (EN/EP) for Al. Have you tried the amperage boost of EP over EN, compensated by skewed balance favoring EN? Supposed to be just the ticket for thin Al.

That’s a great tutorial thank you for sharing this with us. New sub here✨💫💎

If settings do loweror higher setting that sec rule be the same?

*"Its like trying to weld in a bowl of corn flakes."* That line will go with the greats like, _"I'll be back..."_ & _"Go ahead, make my day...."_ *LOL...* 🤣😆

What machine do you do tig with?

Thanks Jody, I'm going to experiment with other cups when my general skill is improved. As I'm afraid to draw wrong conclusions about my welds. May I ask what is a good filler rod for welding 4140 parts together, would that be ER80S-D2 or something else?

@weldingtipsandtricks

7 ай бұрын

filler rod for 4140 really depends on several factors. 4140 is often used for fixtures more for dimensional stability than strength in which case regular ER70S2 rod works fine. ER80SS-D2 would be a closer match if strength was the main consideration.

i welded inox and no problem, but i had to weld basic steel/iron, i grinded black cover and tried to weld two parts and weld started to bubble, like popcorn, why?

Are you doing any laser welding?

Cup sizes depend on the amperage and electrode size.

Ok Jody I just heard you say that you should break off the tip if you dip it. I have asked the question before and that is the first time I heard it answered. So is there ever a time that I can just re grind the tip or do we always break off the bad spot? Thank you fr your insight!

@devynselnes4282

Depends on how much gunk you have on the tip. As long a you grind off the whole snowman you should be fine

@weldingtipsandtricks

7 ай бұрын

personally if I barely dip and there is only a slight bit of aluminum on the tip, I just grind it back to a nice tip. but when there is a snot rocker on the tip, its not worth the time...I just cut it off or break it depending on the type of tungsten. Some tungsten spits easily and needs to be cut or scored first.

@@weldingtipsandtricks Thank you Jody for your feedback. I’m a newbie, last couple of years, but I have followed and learned a lot from watching you and a few others! Thanks for you good products like the tig finger as well, i us it often !

"It´s like welding in a bowl of corn flakes" :D

jodi, tell them to never look at the tungsten and only concentrate on the front of the puddle and they will rarely dip the tungsten
