    I teach everything I know about welding and fabricating with aluminum here www.6061.com
    Order the same TIG Button variable amperage finger controller I use here www.6061.com/tigbutton.htm
    I'll explain what this contraption I made is used for in an upcoming video.
    Thanks for watching

    @AlexanderMoon Před rokem +1

    Been watching you for years now. I have learned so much (or nothing, lol), thank you. However, never ever seen you welding thin-to-thin aluminium. That's quite common task that I have in my yard - to weld an aluminium based frame out of thin square/round tubes. Any chance you could show us how to weld 1mm to 1mm thin aluminium? And perhaps in a manner where you cut a profile into 2 pieces and then weld it back together. I find it extremely challenging.
    All the best.

    • @6061
      @6061  Před rokem +2

      Hi Alexander,
      Any specific size tubing, and any specific profile?

    • @AlexanderMoon
      @AlexanderMoon Před rokem +1

      hello. Just L or U profile, mine were 1mm thick with 30mm width. Thank you a million! The hardest thing is to weld it if cut at 45 degree angle. I tried posting an image here, but it gets deleted. I'll try to put it into next comment.

    • @6061

      You have manual preflow. While in position, just tap your amperage controller a time or two before welding. Not too big of an inconvenience.

    • @PranaTech
      @PranaTech Před rokem

      Hi Chad, I have a Yeswelder 250P and they don’t make the Tig button for my welder either. But I built my own custom Tig pedal so I learned all about what the welder needs for a signal. They are very simple inside and basically have two wires for switch to begin the arc and three wires that go to a potentiometer. That’s it! I purchased a Tig button for the AHP and re-wired the plug to match my Yeswelder Tig because the AHP and Yeswelder both use a 10k potentiometer. The good news is that almost every Chinese Tig that I’ve reviewed on my channel uses a 10k potentiometer with a 5 pin plug. If you opened up your pedal for the Weldpro I’ll bet it uses a 10k potentiometer. If it does, let me know and I can walk you through the process of how to wire it up if you really want a Tig button. I can assure you that it will change your whole world once you get used to welding with it. 😁👍
