Hey man I need help...I have a 200amp multi function tig...it's a dc inverter hf model. No matter what amp setting I use it's way too hot...it's loud and is acting like a plasma cutter....it's set on tig...tungsten is sharp...argon is running..no chance...I have gas running very low as when I turn it up it like a gas torch. Please help.
Every time this happens to me I hear your voice yell TORCH HEIGHT a foot away from me and I immediately reset and it goes away. Priceless training.
RecklessRegal yup, “TOO HOT” is the one I still have nightmares about! 😉
I've learned more from watching your videos than from hours of classroom instruction many, many years ago. I'm one of those who can usually learn from reading about something but, by watching, listening and imitating your settings and techniques, my learning curve is significantly shortened! Thank you!
My torch angle is always perfect when I weld on the jig table but when I have to weld standing on my head holding 2 clamps and a flashlight my torch angle is so off I could have used an M9 flamethrower. Need more practice away from my comfort zone I guess.
You are the best teacher on the tubes, Justin. I don't know how to say it better, but you can REALLY be proud of yourself.
I just got a Miller 180 and am learning from square one. I have watched hours and hours of your videos. Big help every time I get frustrated that there is a video from you showing me what I’m screwing up haha. Thank you!
This was a great video. Often times an explanation and an arc shot just aren't enough. The animations really help.
You are good at teaching, very informative, thank you for your time to teach us.
Probably the best video on the topic, it finally “clicked” after watching this video and I broke my learning plateau. Thank you.
Do you have a secret camera in my garage that I don’t know about? This video speaks to me and all the problems I have been having. Time to go practice.
I SWEAR YOU MADE THIS BECAUSE YOU WATCHED ME PRACTICE LAST NIGHT!!!!! ASS!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
"A round in the time out chair" lmao you are the man.
That's some really good information. I especially like the tip about commitment to your settings. It's so tempting to turn down your amperage when you're a beginner.
Great video as always! This a good reminder of all of the mistakes that happen when you don’t tig weld everyday!
Thanks! Just made all of these mistakes just now. First time on a TIG today, I made all of these mistakes, plus I stuck my point into the metal and got it stuck, too little gas... These tips are spot on.
Every weld test I’ve done has been passed with the lay wire; so yes, there is getting around it. You just have to know how to disperse it. Stacking dimes on tig or mig is like having training wheels; but I will admit there are times they’re preferred.
That is some of the best info ever for common tig issues laid out in only 5 minutes. Well done
First a big thanks from India for sharing your knowledge.
I watched many of your videos. Like all of them. They are very precise and informative. Thanks again.
Great content. Practical, implementable advice. Particularly the one about amperage. Everybody wants to twist a knob to fix a problem. As an aside: it looks like you might have a little moisture in your argon. Just looking at the extra halo and the ring deformation on the tungsten in a few of the arc shots.
still cant believe this knowledge and experience is free on the internet. thank you man
This is just another great informative video. I have watched most of yours and there all excellent. Thanks for your commitment and time.
Thanks for the great advice yet again another great video to help hone my skills thanks from over the pond
I really needed to watch that, I mean i knew from your other videos about having the right technique but man do I forget easily.
Short one, but probably the best video you've put out, with the gas zone vs cone zone
That's some really good information packed into 5 minutes.
It's surprising how much I know just from being time served. Wish I knew these tips 20+ years ago.
The degrees you sharpen your tungsten matters too.
Thanks very much Justin. Awesome explanation for the problem and remedy. (Andrew)
Great content, love the channel!
One of the best out there.
“Time our chair” hilarious.
Thank you ! Straight to the point !
Good Info there Justin, sometimes the bigger problem is we don't weld on small coupons every day. The jobs we are given can be many different shapes and sizes.
OK, I have a situation, the material is 3/4" thick "Bizalloy" (quench and tempered steel) tee joint, Pre-heat to 110 deg C, filler rod 2.4mm ER 70 s2, weld size 4mm, Question ; How many Amps do I need.??
My situation, Machine set at 208 Amps, and using foot control and using most of that. Getting that puddle well established before you get going is paramount, and I'm sorry but sometimes you can't have a 90 degree filler angle, part geometry will not allow it., like welding into a 3 way corner.
Great video, i've been intermittently having this issue for about 9 months... now I know what to look for... thank you.
Great tips Justin!
Again....great vid Justin . All the information you share here with us is great and the animations are top notch !! Thnx
Wacthed this a few times now and have to say your advice is invaluable! Great videos on TIG
Thank you!!!! Your advice solved my problem.
Great vid man, I learn so much from these.
What would be awesome is a vid on overhead TIG, specifically overhead plug weld. Having a hard time welding in a patch panel, can’t seem to get decent beads.
Overhead TIG is no different than flat just really awkward to get comfortable. At least that is the case with stainless and carbon
SDNorm2 I guess I still need some more practice, my overheads look like crap. I’m using the 4T because I haven’t found a good way to use pedal overhead.
Getting better all the time.
Thanks.
👍
And if it balls, don't be afraid to cut bait! You're not gonna be able to save it. Just stop, cut the ball off and restart.
Thank you for putting such great content in your videos, with the corona lock down going on it’s a great time to be watching your videos and working in the garage
hey man we need tig welder shootout being how harbor freight has that new protig 205 out!!!!!! letssssss goooooooo. hope u guys have a blessed weekend
Nice graphics, helps to visualize whats going on, thanks 👍
Short but to the point fantastic video. Thanks
Thanks you've just cleared so much up why I struggled last time I tried to Tig weld
Excellent information! Thank you!
Great tips. I struggled with this problem.
You’re a wealth of information and a great teacher, thank you.
Great advise, well stated, hope I can make it to one of your classes soon!
Thanks for posting.
Best video on the internet
Great video it was a big help, how do you select cup size?
Great video as usual. One quick question: is 1 amp per thousandth thickness a good starter for both aluminum and mild steel? Thanks for sharing your talent.
I really love your channel, did start TIG welding Stainless a year ago. I was a professional, but in metal sheet construction, this includes soldering with tin-leadalloy, oxypropane solding- and welding. I educated myself via learning by doing on the job, and after a few months of halfassing I found your channel by chance. Mate... Let me tell you, watching your videos and trying to apply your tips day by day at work lifted me onto a level I couldn't have imagined. Thank you for that Justin!
Now I have a question, I work with 0.8mm (32 Gauge?) of 304. And it drives me crazy man. With thicker material (1.6mm/16 Gauge and above) your education enabled me to Tig almost colorless, even with little cups. But those paperthin sheets do not comply, no matter which amperage or travel speed, they do oxydate. I think it is because the thin material isn't able to transport the heat away fast enough, but I am not sure. Do you know whats the problem and how to solve it?
The best video my friend....
Thank you, this video is really helpful
This is a good video, I learned some things that will help me fix some mistakes that I have been making.
And I thought Justin's filler was literally ballin' as in CP-1 or Hastalloy W.... great tips. I have been a dippin my tip trying to see how close I can get. Well adding filler increases the puddle.
Great video and tips, thanks Justin!
Just like to mention the the one amp per thousandth of an inch only works well up to about one eighth inch. As you get thicker, you have to reduce the amperage increase. Otherwise, you’ll be using 250 amps on a quarter inch and 500 amps on a half inch, which is ridiculous.
Whipping the torch is useful for TIG brazing, but that might confuse beginners
Another great video! Thank you for the reminder!
The best advice I've seen here!
I want a round in the time out chair!!
Funny, After Tig welding for 30 years, I have the exact opposite problem. When I Mig weld (New to me) I try to get in tight and POOOF there goes another young tip.
Justin, Maybe after this great video you could do the same about Mig??????
Need help with 1/4 cast aluminum and not getting a puddle. Could it be to much gas like what if I accidentally ran 50-60 cfh because I was running 25-30 l/min didn’t see my new setup was different. New to tig.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Will using too small a filler wire also cause balling?
Im having some difficulty with 3mm ally at 120amps, before the filler gets to the puddle it melts away. 1.6mm filler.
I'm starting to weld with tig now, and I'm not able to weld properly, the electrode burns and turns black and the polarity is right, I'm connecting it to the negative, I'm using 8 liters / minute of pure argon. What can it be? I'm using 45 amps to solder 1.5 mm. Please help me. thanks.
Hi guys, greetings from the United Kingdom,, learning lots from your tuition,, I have a question,, I’m using a 160 amp inverter ac/dc tig, teaching myself ,, I set the amps at around 100/110, question,, why does my tungsten burn up, doesn’t seem to last very long at all, argon flow at 15 help ,,thanks
Nice. You guys were reading my mind.
Does 1A/0.001" apply to the total material thickness for a lap joint? ( Butt joint XAmps... Lap joint 2XAmps? )
Hi.. I've had a look at a few tig welders that i can afford and quite a few are gasless does the welding principle stay the same or is it a complete different tactic?
If 0.13" thickness of steel required 130amp to melt, what about mm calculation? Also, to melt steel, carbon steel, mild steel and stainless steel, does the calculation all same?
Love the animations! Great video.
Thanks for everything! My request is for tips on adjusting amperage on the fly (pedal). As an exercise have tried setting to 90A for an 80A weld, then to adjust with the pedal to the right level. So far have not been able to "read the signs" well enough to get as good a weld as if had set to 80A and floored the pedal. Try watching the puddle, try having a sense of how fast / slow am going, try catching a glimpse of the bead behind. Struggle to gauge the right amperage. Should I be able to do this?
Do an episode on a renegade 200 amp acdc tig inverter for me
This was perfect. Thank you.
Thank u
Tig aluminium welding parameters current etc ?
How to work out amps when you have two material thickness example 5mm to 2 mm
Gracias !!! Muy buenos tus consejos !!!!
Great information, thank you. Is the 1 amp per 1000th rule for all metals? Is there an upper limit to that rule of thumb? Like if you're welding on 3/8 aluminum would you set your machine at 375?
Always great advice! 💯
Why don't you use the lay wire method?
Thanks
Thanks mate always great info in your videos awesome 😎
Have you ever done a fuel cell build video?
Lol time out chair love that, but why did you not like the laywire technique?
Love those new graphics now if people can just understand it
I'm starting to think that the tungsten is the filler, I've gotten increasingly better at adding the tip but not blowing out the whole weld....
I am interested in a new tig machine been looking at the prime 225 and the hp alpha 201 XD was wondering witch one you would recommend
Thanks! Next week going to dust off my TIG machine. Winter is going ;-)
I know what my problem is. I just need a bunch more practice. No time for it though. When I have time I don't have the money for the material.
That’s a wicked good video
Yes sir thanks 🙏
could you do a vid on adding a digital amp meter to a tig inverter i have a 200 amp tig inverter with no amp meter, just an amp knob, i'd like to add a digital meter but have no idea what to buy and how to do it. many thanks in advance
Dziękuję za film bardzo mi pomógł
My problem is the filler stick in the puddle when i weld stainless . My weld is perfect but it’st frustrating during welding . My setting is furick cup#12
30 cfh at 50 amp on 16 gauge stainless steel tube with 1/16 318 filler
Your filler is too large for that amperage. Use .045 filler. You can find it here:

The Fabrication Series Thank you man ! I learned a lot with your videos ! My favourite channel on youtube ! Good job !
You get TIG settings from a SONAR tech?
