    In the market for a TIG Torch? maybe this video will help you decide which one is for you. There are all kinds of TIG torches available so in this video, I show a bunch of them. Air Cooled #9 tig torch, #17, and #26 Air cooled torches also. Along with the popular #20 style water cooled tig torch

    Plz carry CK Worldwide's 17 aircooled version of the flexloc!! By the way I purchased a tig finger from you about 6 months ago specifically for the weld test they give where I work now... It, in my mind/opinion, is a must have for a welder in their toolboxes! The test the give is I believe the same as the UA-31b maybe... It's a 6G 3 inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe/tubing with a consumable insert and the 3 different supervisors stand there with u and watch you lay down every single pass...They couldn't believe how steady my hands were, how uniform/even and nice looking my beads were because all they've seen is ppl freehanding it and fail quite often, but I owe it to you for putting out an awesome product that can help ppl such as myself improve their skill and to help attain great paying jobs!! And when it comes down to test time it's time to show them what you've got and ur is a big part of where my skill level is today!! Thanks from Tennessee!!

    You are so great. All of your videos help me dive deeper and deeper into understanding welding. I am a pipe welder at Electric Boat, just started in February. I have come a long way in my technique as well as knowledge of welding from your videos. With such intensive procedures and quality necessary at my work, I need your kind of detailed information and knowledge to get a better understanding of the art. You hit important components of tig welding that are simply not taught in school, and you help give me advice and understanding to build enough confidence to challenge myself and step up and try new pieces, metals, joints, despite the risk of getting a bad record for rejected pieces by melthrough, lack of penetration, etc. You are very knowledgeable and I look up to you as a guide to strive to be the best welder I can be. Thank you!

    Thanks Jody. Knowing the correct TIG torch to use has always kind of baffled me. To me your experience parallels my welding history. Weld school (Tulsa), boilermakers, pipe-fitters, then aircraft
    industry. Now that I'm retired I can upgrade my "weldshop" and just have fun. Your website and vids are fantastic, thanks for all the hard work you put into it.

  • @TheKaffeeKlatsch
    @TheKaffeeKlatsch Před 9 lety +4

    Just picked up a Everlast PowerTig 200DX as my first TIG welder. Your information was timely as this unit has a plug for a water cooler, it came from the factory with an air cooled torch. I'll upgrade as my skill set improves.
    So far I've done TIG brazing of dissimilar metal, some 4140, and mild steel work with it. I have to give you much of the credit for what I've learned about TIG. Thanks Jody.

    What amazes me most about your welds is the amazing consistency of the final product. I like to think my welds are almost as strong, but even with bracing and practice I rarely get such a consistent bead.

    May I you commend you for providing a very professional lecture and detailed demonstration on TIG torch welding techniques. I'm a retired old time welder and structural engineering technician, having started back in the mid 60's. These welding videos bring back memories of having completed jobs that left one with a feeling of satisfaction, having accomplished something of value with one's own hands and skills.

    Jody
    In previous videos I watched you use a CK #9 flex head and a CK#20 (water cooled) swivel head - got so impressed I purchased 2 of them for my welders (I sold the Miller 180 Sycro and the Miller 200 Synco and replaced them with a full bundle 200DX including wireless foot control) I have also use the CK #9 for setup and tweaking and then when getting down to just pushing weld I use the CK #20 and will weld at 120/160 amps till my fingers melt (even with a tig finger - takes a long time). The welders I sold went with a miller cooler and the swivel head torches - I have stayed in touch with the people that purchased the ones I sold and they just love the torches and your recommendations and both of them have subscribed to you.
    Also gave the each 2 tig fingers to make sure they can do a great job
    Can't get better than that
    thx

    @Kevin_747 Před 9 lety +4

    Good video. I have been Tig welding since 1979 but always learn something. I mostly weld 4130 aircraft weldments. My favorite torch is the water cooled weldcraft 20. I got over 20 years out of a Linde HW 20, I consider that pretty good since I used house water for about ten of those years. Current machine is a Miller syncrowave 351 but I really want a Dynasty 200 dx after trying one at a trade show. Thanks for the great videos. Kevin

  • @JohnHampton
    @JohnHampton Před 9 lety

    Holy smoke; so much to know, to learn - thank goodness for videos such as yours. I am totally new to tig welding, deciding to go tig rather than oxy for mostly brazing purposes, of which I have had nothing but problems: much smoke, spatter and the blowing of holes in 3 mm mild steel plate, as I have tried and failed time and time again to bronze fill cutouts of a metal sculpture I have been working on for some time now. I have up and down the amps, paid particular attention to ridding the metal of surface impurities, cut the argon flow just to see if it would make a difference, but all my efforts have been in vain. My machine is a UNI-MIG WELDING ARC 170 DC INVERTER AIR COOLED using pure ARGON, so if you or any of your subscribers/viewers have any hints and tips it would be greatly appreciated. By the way, your welds are nothing short of works of art. Just an observation, dear sir, but true nonetheless. Best wishes.

  • @GeeKayKayGee
    @GeeKayKayGee Před 9 lety

    An excellent presentation Jody, you answered a number of questions I didn't even know that I had. When eventually I can afford to set a TIG machine beside my stick welder I am sure I will have a much better idea now as to what features and capabilities will best suit my TIG needs.

  • @billdlv

    I changed my primeweld Tig-225x from the CK 17 to a air cooled flex loc I used it for about 3 months and I found it was getting hot on me and having to lay down for awhile. I broke down and got the max cool 3000 water cooler for the tig-225x put it together with the flex loc 230 my welding time has increased ten folds over it's impressing how a water cooler can do so much and extend your welding time. and I also swear that it increased my duty cycle on my welder too I've never overheated my machine yet or hit duty cycle yet.

    I really like when you give general summations like "This is the type/size/number I use for most jobs." For instance, the gas lens, torch size, tungsten size etc. It gives me a good reference point to use all the addt'l details with.
    Also, brilliant move in becoming a product distributor. You've built such a bulletproof reputation that if you say something works better than what I'm using, I'm gonna believe you. High time you started making a few bucks on that :) Just don't abuse the trust please. Best wishes & thx for the videos.

    With something that thick(4130) I was trained to preheat the part..gorgeous welds by the way..we just received 3 Miller dynasty 280 with coolers. Mine was plumbed into a central chiller..major pain which is why we bought the coolers. Oh yeah we also bought an air cooled Lincoln portable 110/220 tig which was mounted on a plant tricycle with two argon bottles..the extra bottle was for purging. Very handy unit for welding on Common nozzle assemblies.

I do a lot of small work at low amperage 40 to 80 amps. I was thinking of getting an air cooled 9. What is your recommendation for brand and is a small gas lens kit available for it?

    I have a Everlast PowerPro 236 which came with #26 torch and i've been looking for a smaller torch but had no idea how the numbering system worked. I think I'll be going for a CK#9 (or maybe that Weldtec Stubby Torch) after watching this as I'm not welding anything too thick and no long runs.

    • @elijahtaylor8351
      @elijahtaylor8351 Před 7 lety +1

      Don't feel bad about getting confused with the numbering. When I first got my Everlast welder I was in the same boat. Going with the CK torches is a good idea if it is within your budget. They make welding much more comfortable.

  • @DanielWisehart
    @DanielWisehart Před 9 lety

    Nice video, Judy. You asked about torches and welders we are using. I have water-cooled CK flex-loc 230 amp torch with a #7 gas lens and a 10 year old Lincoln Precision Tig 225. If I can find the money I just might get an Inverter, but I had a bad experience a cheap Everlast a few years ago so I will probably look for a used Dynasty.
