The tip you gave about using the flow meter tester was the best piece of advice I've stumbled across in a long time. I don't weld all that often but I have a nice TIG machine at home and our shop where I work has a nice older TIG machine as well. I've always had issues with porosity in my welds when doing mild steel using both machines and could never figure out why. I had everything set up as perfect as I could and still would struggle. I bought a flow meter tester today and found out the flow meters on both machines were reading way more flow than what they were actually putting out. Had to crank both regulators up a lot. Wow, what a difference in my welds. I put a lot more faith in the flow meters that came with the regulators than I should have. I was even having issues with my tungsten overheating I had so little argon flow before. You're a life saver dude! I know it sounds like a silly little piece of advice but it made a huge difference. I don't suck as bad at this TIG welding thing as I thought. :o) I have a service trailer project I'm putting together at work right now and it's going to require a ton of welding. Thanks so much, it's appreciated!!!
Very useful info for beginners like me.
right on...have a wonderful day Dusty...thanks for the motivation
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge Dusty. I've always believed that the good do, the great teach, and the ones that can't, criticize. I always enjoy your videos.
Awesome Patrick! Well said and I appreciate you watching:)🙏
Nice job my man...its become a household slogan, "fill and chill!" LOL be blessed bro!
Yessssss! Cheers my buddy!🙏🙏🙏
Thx from Sweden! 🙏🏻
Your teaching is spot on. 👍🏻
Funny enough I actually paused your video half way and called my weld eqpmt supplier. Just to ask the MD to praise their personnel. 54 employees and they are great!
Finishing the video and I hear your request to to something nice to someone. 😄 Check!
Kind regards

Dude you’re giving Jody a run for his money. You’ve got awesome videos man.
Iv not welded for a while but still great info always a sucker for a nice looking weld 👍
Thanks for the CFH tool
Tip
🤙🤙🤙
Thanks Dusty.
Thanks for the tips! 😉 I just bought a 201 pulse D last month and last night was my first stab at aluminium 🤪. Let's just say, maybe should have watched this first 🤣.
Merry Christmas 🎄😊🎄.
Just about to go to bed and this pops into my feed....ah well triple espresso for breakfast i guess..
Haha! I’m there with you now…. Strong coffee this morning…!🍻
Love the honesty in your videos. Very informative and like you giving your past experience to teach the cause. Hard to remember everything we know or when we learned it but it's good learning or relearning a skill. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. I love whenever someone gives a trade secret that makes the job easier or better. I believe you bring that to us!
Thank you for all the tips.
Thanks. I finally start tig on Monday. I’ve been waiting since March
Thanks
I am really enjoying your short videos on how to tips. Thanks for posting them. Can you end a controversy on CFH. Many of us use a floating ball regulator. There are 3 "rule of thumb" methods on how to read the ball - scale mark at the bottom of the ball, scale mark at the middle of the ball, scale mark at the top of the ball. I have seen videos from several people that are good welders claiming to be correct and they do not have consensus. Which is is? I cannot see much of a difference but, I am an amateur and am more worried about dabbing the tungsten.
Nice thanks for the tips
Great video Dusty. That's interesting that TIG cups numbers are the 16th of an inch. Straight razors are measured in a similar way. Although they are most commonly in 8ths of an inch. So 6/8ths or a large razor may be 10/8ths.
Very nice work , great video thanks for sharing
Great advice brother.
Thanks for that information nation your videos are definitely amazing
Every CZcams welder MUST do video about tungsten stickout.)
Another great useful vid.
I made a tungsten depth gauge out of a 1x1x2 aluminum block. Dilled holes for each size cup i use. Used a numbered punch to identify the holes. I also use it as a chill bar.
A killer idea. Nice idea!
Informative as always Dusty
Awesome! I appreciate you watching!🙏
thanks
Amazing video, I really enjoyed 😁😁😁
Happy you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!🙏
Thanks for Tooooonin in
wishing you all the best Dusty...have a great day
Thanks Paul! Hope you are well!
@@PacificArcTigWelding enjoying all your great videos, we are doing good down here in Florida, cheers, Paul
Grazie Polveroso
As always, thanks for the helpful tips. Does your suggestion for max stick-out (equal to or less than 1 cup dia) also apply if you're using a regular collet body instead of a gas lens? My results with regular collet bodies on aluminum have been poor (unable to get a puddle regardless of flowrate) but no problem with a gas lens. Then I checked a few owners manuals; most say nothing, but the ones that do recommend 1/8" to 1/4" stick-out with regular collet bodies.
You're using a gas lens though, right? I still use an old style torch & stick to HALF the cup dia. for max. stick out & find that's enough unless I need to get down into a tight corner or crevice...
Thanks LARRYMOORE
Cheers Larry!
Hi from the England , I’m teaching myself to tig weld, I have a 160ac/dc inverter welder, my question is, why does the arc “dance” about while welding 2.6mm mild steel tube.? I find it hard to keep the tungsten sharp too, excellent tutorial Dusty, I keep thinking I’ll be doing that one day 😂 here’s hopeing
When you grind your tungsten don’t leave it at a point dress the end with a small flat you will get better results and that should stop the arc dancing around
@@georgegriffiths2235 thanks for the reply George I’ll give that a go ,,getting there slowly 😎
There are a lot of good people in the world
If you can't find one, be one
Cheers my friend!🙏🙏hope you are well!
@@PacificArcTigWelding
Thank you. You as well.
So, I have a Forney 140MP that I am using to learn how to Lift TIG; do you have any videos or suggestions on TIG welding without a pedal and DC only? I am setting my gas at 10cfm and using 1/16th tungsten along with #10 glass cups. I use an ESAB Savage helmet and have really good view; welds not using a rod is good but adding a rod I don't seem to get good penetration and not feeling comfortable with it. I am practicing on 16Ga. galvanized steel. Any comments would help...thanks and keep the videos coming!!!
Found a simple trick for flow, it should be a minimum of double the cup. If your running a 5 cup gas should be 10, 7 would be 14. No need to waste extra gas
Hey Dusty, thank you for another top shelf video. Just curious, how did YOU learn to TIG weld?
Hey! I got a job as a production Tig welder welding aluminum soccer goals! Welded thousands of them! Practiced a lot after hours to get some comfort and understanding, now happy to help get people rolling and avoid some of the stuff I was stuck on when I started!
Cheers my friend! Thanks for watching and reaching out:)
So I'm just getting into TIG welding aluminum. The one thing that I can't find on CZcams is how to fix a mistake when welding aluminum. For instance, touching the tungsten and filler rod on a long pass. It blows garbage everywhere. I stop, wire brush, and clean the weld. When I start the weld the contaminate that is buried pulls right back to the surface. Is there a way to get rid of that without completely grinding out the weld?

it's is: Gas Flow Meter Flowmeter For Mig Tig Welder Torch
Hi, where did you get your torch, I require a 17 thanks
Longer stick out tightness the cone on inverters eh? The more you know 💫
my mate is having trouble the tig wont form a weld pool it just sparks and splatters and burns the aluminum
Do you have a "how to choose cup size" (that turns up a different set of answers if you google it! :) )
(I'm still waiting for the delivery of my first welder, so I'm trying to learn the theory as I'm waiting! There is lots to learn!)
Bro do a grip strength test before a video with your hand work I really want to see
Howdy
👍😎👍
Cheers Joel!
Someone help me find a mobile welder in the 209 are please guys broken hold on my vehicle and I need to fix ASAP !!!
What's the flow meter tester thing called?
Does it work on mig?
Yes! Sits on the nozzle just the same and do a gas purge:)
@@PacificArcTigWelding cool, thanks for the reply.
So it would or should work on the oxy torch as well.
Thanks, subbing.
@@mrillis9259 How can you use it on MIG with the wire feeding out. I don't think it will work.
@@mrillis9259 No, not for oxy!!
Dan L. Unclamp the drive roll for the purge.
I'm puzzled how less stick out can reduce the chance of dipping?
Having out a bit further reveals less electrode, less surface to strike with a filler rod 🤙 Helped me a lot when I was learning
Have a new miller multimatic 220 that I have not even turned on because I can’t seem to find a decent instructional textbook. I watched hours of videos and other than getting a real distain for the horrible teaching style of the “and all that good stuff guy”, am finding I have to go to a two year school just to start a hobby.
Iam finding the same problem want to join a tec school cant find many where i live
Did you watch this guy? (Justin). czcams.com/video/CEkJqHAAfdo/video.html
He always teaches. He runs welding classes too. Watch "Weld With Me", or better off, get some metal coupons and just follow the class.
Time to turn that machine on, John. Don't over think it and don't be a perfectionist even before you start.
Imperial system 🤮
Simple math, man. I am native Metric too, but I calculate very quick in my head to go back and forth from Metric to Imperial. It's like being bilingual.
