Tig Welding Practice

[@weldernotmechanic8588]

Contractors /customers love having a one man band they know they can call up someone they know that can get the job done. more u can bring to the table and services ur able to provide the busier u will stay sky is the limit in this metal fab industry

[@jeepwk6.5L]

Welder NotMechanic yup absolutely, that’s why I’m glad I joined the union. I’ve got over 10 welding certs in mig, stick, tig, brazing. Also med gas, Plumbing and hvac... All paid for. I can go take about any job I want just about anywhere I want. Love it!

[@atowns3364]

Brother your heat looks fine 👌🏻 the progression of your 3 caps shows it's all in your speed. Just like anything else that comes later. Looks great! Especially only being at it for a week.

[@JacobSchofield]

Thanks Allen. Hopefully they just keep getting better

[@lucasparker1867]

I’m a union pipefitter with local 43 in Chattanooga Tennessee. I walk the cup on everything but usually I will put the root in on 120 amp, hot pass 125 amp, fill 135 amp or 130 if using 1/8, and 14-145 on the cap depending on what size tig wire. Hope that helps! Always great videos!

[@JacobSchofield]

Thanks William that means bunch

[@Chairguy7oh7]

Great video Jacob. I fill at 185 carrying a big puddle. Instead of “walking the cup” it’s more like I’m twisting and “wiggling” the cup side to side to combat the cup from sticking to the bevel as you run uphill. The lighter you are on the torch while doing that will help. Just my 2 cents! God bless you Jacob.

[@matthewhackbarth4746]

I love the content Jake. You always get me motivated to push harder than the day before. A big thanks from Wheat Ridge Colorado.

[@danielk2250]

Awesome sir. You're killing it. Couple things on the subject of tig welding. One: in the long run I think it'd be wise to run 1/2 of your coupons with your right and 1/2 with your left. I'm a righty and I find I don't practice my left enough because I'm too busy trying to be perfect with my right and it's more beneficial to be just good with both than perfect with one. Two: on a recent job I was welding 4" sch40 with the same gap at 110ish on the root. 150 on the hot pass and would fill 170-210 depending on if I was freehanding the fills.(walking is on the lower end of that range) and I would cap around 170-200 depending on how in the groove I was. (I was using mostly 5/32 70s2 wire) That all being said my theory in all welding is weld as hot as you can stand and move quick. Also if you get to the point where you're trying to look through the bevel for your root be sure to ALWAYS be able to see your tungsten. Even if that means pointing it back into your puddle. I dipped a lot of tungsten thinking I needed to have a push angle. Anyway sorry for the long post. Rooting for you! PS my wife thinks your child is the most adorable thing ever haha

[@levispaich3084]

I too have been practicing my tig I have been doing Mig and stick for about 4 years now but my tig has only been for maintenance jobs now I'm getting serious about getting good. Be blessed! Thanks for the great videos!

[@jakepfrimmer2895]

Your doing great i really admire your way of life, I find that we share alot of the same values in life keep doing what you do

[@tylerspurgeon1972]

I myself like a 5/32 gap. Run the bead between 100-130 depending on the bevels and what wire (70s-2 or 70s6). Hot pass is usually 180-200. Fill and cap are the same 180-200. 8” and up I’ll fill and cap on 210-240. With free handing tho your pointing your heat directly in the pipe so your gonna gave to run a little colder. Also if you’d use a bigger cup like a 12 on your hp and filler it will be easier to rock the cup on the edges of the bevel. Thanks for the vid Jake! It’s nice to see you stepping out of you comfort zone! Be blessed brother!

[@sergioramirez3328]

Practice makes perfect love that tig work brother be safe and keep on tigging

[@joeyfuss8218]

Hey there jake I have found that if u take a belt sander or buffing disk and know down the end of your cup and make it more rounded instead of squared off it help to walk way better. Hope this helps

[@benwolcott7396]

Try a smaller cup and even sand the outside edges of the cup just a little bit so it fits in the groove between the bevels, and doesnt catch the edge. Then try walking the cup inside the groove. I use a 6 or 7 cup on 5” or a 7 or 8 cup on 6” for the root and then move to a 9 or 10 cup for hot and fill.I always walk the cup root fill and cap, I use 1/8 wire 5/32 gap and 1/8 wire all the way out. If you want really consistent beautiful weave patterns I also recommend dabbing your rod, gives you more control over how much metal you are adding to the weld. I am 6 g tig certified, on the cap I dab three times one top one center one bottom it gives me control of where the puddle sits after the slight sag from being 6g and allows me to have a nice straight outside edge of the weld with no undercut. I weld sch 80 in four passes, or if time is a constraint use two fill rods in the fill instead of one and make only three passes.

[@ARstyle2189]

I’ve been a combo for 10 years... but have never ran down hill other than for practice. I would love to get into some day tho. I can tell you one HUGE thing that will help when tiggin carbon. Make sure you get those silica spots out (the shiny glassy spots) it will flow a ton smoother, prevent under-cut and will help prevent your cup from slipping. (Carbon tig get slippery as all get out when it’s to hot, or when you hit a spot with that silica)... I like an 1/8” gap and I’ll use 3/32” wire for the root. About 115-125mps... I also have my tungsten sticking out like, a little over a 1/16” for my root so it focuses the heat in more toward the pipe. For my hot,fill and cap, I’ll run 1/8” wire 120-140amps and I pull my tungsten out more like, 1/8” or so. But after every single pass I AT LEAST try and get the damn silica out of my way. Hope this helps brother! Thank you for your videos.

[@itsjust_thisguy9761]

U are my motivation man! I cant tell u how much your videos helped me. Thank you for all your videos and the time you take out of your day to flim.

[@marcuspadilla3569]

Looks great. I run 140/ 150 amps with carbon on fill and cap 90/100 amps with a 1/8” inch landing 1/8” gap I lay wire no back feed for root. On nine chrome around the same amps; Stainless about 20 amps lower same gaps and landing depending on schedules of pipe of course. I free hand the root and walk every thing else. God Bless..

[@justinbrown9850]

For me it depends on the size of pipe and root gaps on what heat(amps) I run. Like on 2 in I run 130 on my root hot and cap but on 6 inch i run 110 root and fill at 180 to 200 amps. But 8 inch I root at 130 and hot at 200 and fill and cap at 300. Most companies I work for have a wps(weld procedure) that will or will not allow 5/32 rods. If they dont then I just usually stay around 250 max amps cause beyond that you burn the material up with a 1/8 rod. But if they allow 5/32 then I burn 300 to 350 for the fill then cap with a 5/32 around 225 to 275 depending on the size of pipe and how fast I feel like I should be going. All my roots are free handed and I some pipes I free hand the hot and cap others I walk the cup on to make it prettier and uniform.

[@andrewhorton2462]

I use a number 10 cup with 3/16 gap and 1/8 filler rod. 100 amps for root free hand. Turn it up 20 for hot pass. I don’t really walk it on the hot pass though I wiggle it back-and-forth. Filler maybe turn it up another 10 Where I can walk it Now. Let it cool before Cap. And I cap At the same temperature I filled it with. Since you’re running a 1/8 gap I would use a number 8 cup since your Bevel walls are a lot closer together. More than 1 million ways to skin a cat but this is what I was taught here on the gulf coast in Houston Good luck man keep making great videos

[@chancelacey5101]

Trying to get into TIG. Love the videos man. I look up to you

[@joey5333]

Nice video like always Sch 40 I personally dont break out a filler rod over 1/8 Root-sharp no land 3/32 gap I'll laywire mine in at 90 to 110 usually a #4 cup.

[@CrAsHfLiGht]

With the way you have your fit up set up i’d run a 1/8 filler wire with the back feeding technique @ 110-115amps & on the hot pass i’d run a 1/8 filler at 150-160 amps(be sure to run the hotpass as fast as you can so you don’t burn up the root from the inside & also cause sunkback on that bottom half of the pipe)for the fills id turn it up some more & stack 2 fillers with a 1/8 OR you can do one single pass with a 5/32 rod (just be sure to dip enough metal in there to flush it out) & finally for the cap pass I’d turn it down to where I can easily control that puddle and make it look presentable...if you’re using a 1/8 do a 2 bead cap & if you’re using a 5/32 do a single bead cap..

[@valiantog9009]

I noticed when you are freehanding up top it looks like you are kinda “pointing” the tungsten forward a little bit, I like to try and make sure I have it almost perfectly strait into to pipe, on sch 40 with a 5/32 to a 3/16 gap I run the amps at about 85 to 105 depending on the machine, hotpass about 140, and cap about the same heat give or take 5 or 10 amps. Your cap didn’t look bad could have been straiter but that just comes with practice and repetition. You got it though man it ain’t no thing!

[@changalanga21]

Awesome job brotha!!! Nothing is too late to learn.

[@kaemanarbuckle7251]

I do lots of tig up here in Alberta. Root at 110 5/32 gap with a 1/8 rod. Then 130+ for hot pass and fills. And get used to walking the cup. Makes it alot easier and fast.

Make sure you use up that liquid argon tank, if you let it sit it will keep venting off gas. Then you will go to use it and it will be nearly empty. Happens to us all the time in the field. Hopefully that's a helpful tip!

[@JacobSchofield]

Oh for sure we have been going almost every night after work getting in a couple hrs anyway

[@jamesgreer1046]

With the setup like your doing with gaps amd wire I run about 110 root. 170 with 1/8 for hotpass. And about 195 on fill and cap. I walk everything. And i keep the wire feeding slowly like a root pass until i cap. Then i laywire it. If u keep your wire directly in the center of your weld on your cap its easier to walk over. And until you get more use to walking the cup line the tungsten, the back of the rig and keep your cup in the center of the weld when you start. Itll make keeping it straight easy.

[@Brad1237202]

Love the channel Jake!! I get an education from every video!

[@mauriciosaldana6207]

Good video. That's happens to me have to work that wrist once in awhile . Have a great night y'all. 👍

[@DOPEXAMP]

Back feeding the root I run 90-95 with a 1/8 rod, 145 hot pass/fill, 165-180 on the cap for 5” pipe. Loose that rooster tail and get a button cap, that’ll make walking it much easier.

[@jasonlawrence5811]

Just a short message.... I welded carbon steel forever and thought i would never see anything else until i decided to take on tig welding stainless and i have been with the sugar refineries for 8 years just because i can combo weld..... Good luck bro.

[@seantbr2019]

I'm a combo welder and I cannot walk the cup to save my life so I freehand also everybody has a different technique and if that technique gets the job done keep doing it I tig a little bit slower than most people so I don't run as hot I've been tiggin for about 2 years now and I still need to work on my travel speed and those caps look pretty good ! I'm still practicing too Love the channel man

[@seantbr2019]

@@jakepin890 and that's the problem with me is I run Tig slow my travel speed isn't near as fast as some of the other guys that I work with but my beads look nice and I'm learning something new everyday I usually set my machine a little lower than most to because I'm a little slower but I still get the job done

[@coltongriffith1295]

For 8 inch filler are usually run 90 to 115 depending on when I’m welding if you are welding carbon and it’s clean it should come out to be a straw color If it’s purple or gray you are going to slow or running too hot

[@tysontullie4543]

92 amps with machine on stick mode for root. 130 amps with machine on tig/lift arc for root. 160 to 180 amps on hot pass, fill, and cap. For carbon steel.

[@justinbrown9850]

I do 130 with 5/32 gap and 1/8 rod and 180 with either 1/8 or 5/32 hot/fill. Then if I have enough for more fill I go to 250 if the pipe is bigger if its smaller than 8 inch pipe I stay around 200 fill and cap. If its bigger than 8 inch I usually fill and cap anywhere around 250 to 350 amps.

[@AustinWhitehead9]

On pipe where the bevels are closer together like they would be on sch10 not so much heavier wall pipe is if I widen the bevels a little on my fill it helps me so the cap isn’t so narrow and sometimes I’ll come outside the bevels about 1/32 on each side.

[@giogiovanni9530]

In my experience which isn’t much.. I’ve noticed that freehanding is a lot faster process than walking the cup. Specially for filling up. If it was up to me, I’d freehand everything. Just a bit over flush on my last fill pass and then walk the cup on my cap. I would also prefer a 3/16 gap so I can back feed the root in and the gap don’t close on me. I like that extra 16th to have room to move the rod inside. But that’s just a personal preference 8/10 you get what you want lol

[@JacobSchofield]

I think so too. It’s just so much smoother to wiggle that cup but it takes some weird angles to get under there.

[@AustinWhitehead9]

One thing that helps me make a nice cap with tig is making sure the fill is flush maybe a little over that way all I have to worry about is a good looking cap.

[@carystone7168]

Great video! Some time can you do a updated truck & welder (Setup) video?

[@chrissorrells3916]

If your having trouble walking the cup inside the bevel. Try switching to an 8 cup, bend your flex head back a little farther and slide your cup side to side. If u don’t like doing it like that then switch to a 12 cup and rock your cup side to side on the bevel just watch puddle and tie in to the walls it makes a nice banana weave.

[@JacobSchofield]

I will try that thanks Chris

Assuming the pipe is 6inch schedule 4. I run a root in at 110 with a 5/32 gap with a 1/8 rod the. Crank it up to 150-160 for the hot pass and then crank it up to about 180 for the fills but to cap I’ll lower it back down to about 160

[@willpayne9240]

Carbon 8 sch 80 and sch 40 1/8 root 115 back feed 1/8 Hot / fill 150 to 170 On the cap I use 3/32 rod doubled up at 185 - 210 Stainless is 100 root 130 fill and 160ish cap I free hand roots in any position and walking the cup depends on space around pipe if I can get comfortable I will usually walk it out but if it is tight free hand and weld it as hot as you can stand it with out having the puddle being erratic if it digging in the walls or you are having trouble feeding fast enough turn the heat back

[@colbyhardy6476]

2” I run about 90 to a 100 with 1/8 gap and 3/32 filler and if the pipe will hold the heat 3/16 gap 1/8 filler at about 110 or 120 depending on the fit

[@alexbergey529]

The company I work for they won't give us rod over 1/8. For schedule 40-160 pipe Depending on the machine I put the root in around 110-140. I'll run a fast hot pass at the same heat just to get some more metal over it to prevent suck back. Then I'll turn it up to 160-200 and flush it out with one filler. The main thing is to watch those edges melt in. There's no need to rush my man. Take your time and push the wire into the puddle and build it up. I free hand everything also even the cap I'll turn it down slightly because the pipe is flushed out and I don't need to build a huge puddle. Same thing with the cap as the filler just watch your edges push in wire untill you consume that last bit of bevel. You can get your free hand caps to look like you walked the cup the more you do it. If you angle your torch a little more back when free handing the cap you can get a better looking freehand weave. Hope this helps out. arcaddictshop.com

Ole Eli is a good good guy really like that guy. He spent quite a bit of time with me at FabTech explaining a lot.

[@adamsheeran7110]

Depending on the wall thickness, my hot pass and maybe a fill pass or two, I dont walk the cup exactly how you would when it's close to being flush or on the cap. It's more of a roll and slide. Kind of like the ship ride at a carnival or a skateboarder on a half pipe if he wasn't airing or spinning and just going back and forth if that makes sense lol. I dont take a "step" like I do on a flush or cap pass. I just rest the cup in the bevel and "twist" it back and forth. Sometimes I'll use the flared out bell part of the cup to ride on instead of the very end because the end can be a little sticky at times and not as smooth. if you can set your tungsten stick out so that you can rest the end of the cup and also the flared part of the cup in the bevel I find it makes it the easiest and most consistent and you can cruise. I used to free hand at first too until I figured that out. Hope that makes sense. Try it out, hope it helps. Keep pushing yourself and thanks for the content.

[@adamsheeran7110]

Oh, and I didn't find my caps got super consistent along the toes and in general but especially along the toes until I developed the muscle memory and angle of my torch and knew where my tungsten was without looking at it because then I basically just watch the outer edge of the puddle and match it to the previous step, scale, puddle or whatever you wanna call it.

[@bmart612]

It’s way easier to “wiggle” the cup while you’re filling and still inside the bevel and then move to a walk once you start getting closer to flush. Also getting rid of the chicken wing on the back of your torch and going to a stub button will help free up your range of motion when walking because it won’t be all over your wrist. 160-180 amps is a good range after hot pass all the way out unless you’re on some heavier wall then ^^

So when you start the arc on the rig you need to watch your puddle and wait until you see the “ lightning start to dance around rapidly “ then your ready to start walking the cup or free hand. This insures you’re getting full penetration and you can really move then.

[@tatertot470]

Im like you man. When i tig i weld really hot and move fast. If you get on a job where they're shooting phased array you have to burn HOT. I wouldn't run that 5/32 on anything smaller than 8" sch80. They will get you for lack of fusion everytime. Also if you get a bigger cup (10 or 12) you will have a easier time walking in that hot and fill. I run around 130 150 with a 1/8" filling then turn down for a cap.

Greetings from Puerto Rico

[@melvina6673]

Nice welds bro.

[@trentkreienheder8535]

When you come to the edge of the cap bead straighten the tungsten then roll back over to the other side and straighten to keep the edges clean and neat

[@JacobSchofield]

I will try that thank you Trent

[@Billyjamess]

Clean the dern tungsten every time u dip it, awful dirty ness around cap that will help so much

[@dobbler9944]

What are those glasses? I need a pair.

[@bradg8251]

Oliver maybe pit vipers.

[@bradg8251]

Yeah at the end with the close ups you can read pit vipers on the lenses

[@MrNoe713]

Hot pass crank up the heat. As soon as you touch ur tungsten to the puddle or pipe stop and sharpen it. The 2 biggest and easiest tips are clean clear lens and always a sharp tungsten

New weld leads ???

Bro, where do you find this awesome music?

[@michaeljennings5014]

140-200 amps. I like it to cut the filler wire but not ball it back when walking the cup. If that makes sense.

[@welderboy7854]

[@DOPEXAMP]

Jose Toledo heavy hitter 150 rig

Hey Jake, David Henrion here. Great video! Practice makes perfect. So I’m gonna order one of your hoodies but I’m not sure what size to get, I’m about the same size as you, I’m 5’10 and 170. What size would you recommend for me?

[@JacobSchofield]

Large. They fit good. And yeah you are like exactly the same size 😂 thank you sir really means a lot you would support us

[@davidftwkx80]

Awesome bud thank you for the reply!!

[@jlc2500]

Hey Jacob what lenses do you use?

[@lathanstokes7690]

are you scratch arcing on the start?

[@bigshortstack2929]

Jake, I haven't heard you mention your pre- and post- flow adjustments. What are you using?

[@kevlarhat2000]

No pre or post flow settings. It’s a scratch start TIG rig with a manual gas valve.

[@bigshortstack2929]

@@kevlarhat2000 I know. That's the torch set-up that I have. It's a 17V The users simply turns the valve on to allow some amount of gas flow; gets the bead laid in; then holds the torch steady for a few seconds to allow some amount of POST-flow before manually turning the valve to "off". Having to "flick" the torch to break the arc. only takes a second and the user can get right back onto the last spot. Better yet..he can use a thin piece of copper or lead to scratch on for a clean beginning as well as having a clean end to the bead without leaving a crater in the end of that bead which would be a failing grade on a TIG test for a job. The user just has to remember to manually operate the valve instead of relying on some internal timer to do it for him (or her).
