what filler wire was use? New to stainless and about ready to order a replacement for my Tig 200 v1 that I have. thanks
Hey Carlos! For stainless you will use 308L, the size will depend on the thickness of the material you're welding. For this video we used 1/16" thick filler wire.

@@eastwoodco thank you, spring break shopping will be underway!
wowser is all i can say this man exudes knowledge faster than i can absorb it keep stainless stainless best tip ever thankyou vince and eastwood
Hey we love these comments! Hope it helps you for your next project!
this guy is pretty good. I'm most impressed by how you can change the filler wire size and weld a gap. while maintaining a uniform bead shape and size. That is magic
We're always impressed by Vince, he's a great welder and teacher.
Thanks for the tips! Especially your methods with pulse welding and when it can be useful.
Excellent teaching style!
Great job
What are your thoughts on Solar Flux?
My TIG machine is a simple 'set amps and go' 2T machine. I don't have a pedal so I can't dynamically control the weld, right? Or have I overlooked something the entire time of owning the machine? lol
Is it one of our machines? Generally the "scratch-start" TIG machines are set and move forward.
Dude should really be wearing a long sleeve shirt in a promo video like this. Cover yourselves up folks, dont earl towards skin cancer like this guy.
Start by wearing your ppe, fr jacket/long sleeves 🤦♂️
Y’all missed to inform those who don’t know about what tungsten to use for stainless…
Instructor was to fast in speaking to the audience.
What happened to back purging?
Plenty of gas coverage for s.s.
Just because it’s good on the outside doesn’t mean it is in the inside…
Ryan you might have skipped through the video a bit. Please check out:
2:35 - 3/32" Multi-mix Tungsten
5:28 - "I want to disclose we are not back purging"
You taking Moore than working
Its an instructional, genius. Of course hes going to talk more than work, otherwise the video would be redundant.
Wtf??? Ten years and that's the weld??? Information good but the bead was ugly... Plus no PPE 👎🏾...
We've found our viewer base must all be pro-welders and pro-painters.
@@eastwoodco Exactly right... 👨🏾🏭...
