in show quality work, you dont scratch the pipe with sand paper, just clean really well with acetone, nobody wants to see scratched stainless. I weld with the 250ex and I love it.

[@kf8575]

If you want a decent weld on it you do. You then polish it after welding

[@frankcarden4709]

I used to buff welds on hand rails, sandpaper after till flat,finer grade paper,then scotch Brite,then buffing wheel with pollish. Keep all the scratch directions going around the pipe not along the length. Mirror finish.

4:03 *WRONG ... Purging means to getting rid of someone who has caused harmed to you, to be able to cleanse yourself* *Movie Reference* 😅

[@wiley0714]

I don't understand these places that introduce themselves as "welding academies "and then go on to say have most places have a sanding belt, but yet, they don't have one?

[@seansmith4440]

Owns a huge shop but doesn't have a belt sander or purge caps? Don't sand it anyways. Just clean with acetone really well. If you have to sand it only do the width of your weld. That way it's covered up. Keep a 70-80 degree angle to your pipe as you travel. As you were welding the torch angle went from 80 to 70 t0 60 down to 40 degrees or so. .

[@uniquetouch2816]

Great video Abe thank you for walking us through it and also letting us know everything you used such as sizes of torch, cub , tungsten, all of that.

[@kf8575]

With the holes in the tape on the opposite end when purging, its much better practice to put the holes right at the top rather than in the middle, due to how the argon will fill the pipe from the bottom just like water would do👍

[@jpracing_fab1348]

You are right, but he is rotating the pipe so it’s not always going to be at the top unless you replace the tape every time you rotate.

[@calebc6028]

@@jpracing_fab1348 there is two holes.

[@arturoflores9628]

Can y’all do a pros and cons of every welding process?

[@samuelvanlane]

Tig is for strong clean pure welds you want to last for ever (potentially) but is the most time consuming. Mig is a wire fed gun with a shielding gas it's great for the quick strong welds but is a messy process with potentially lots of spatter kind of the jack of all trades weld process that is faster than tig but isn't great for thin material. Stick is predominantly used "in the field" or in construction where you are exposed to the elements it is the most accessible form of welding but one of the hardest to master.

[@Bdub423]

Dope video bro im a beginner and this helped me better understand it n the upclose camera angle was perfect to see the puddle and the flow of the rod

[@itsthedanyole]

Uuummmm...... What?

[@callmedudeok]

This is a legitimate shop? With all sorts of 'make shift' items? WOW!!.. That said - Abe -> you're friggen awesome. Too many people cant think outside of the box and not only did you show a proper way of welding Stainless pipe but how to do it without all of the extra junk that just makes it easier. I'd trust your shop with my cars.

His friend: just weld my exhaust man in tryna leave. 😂

I recently got into tig and am planning to do this as a career. Awesome video , you got yourself a new sub!

Excellent videos. Just out of welding school and working at auto restoration. What size gap did you have between the pipes? TIA

[@dsmjaime]

Holy mother of ads jeezus

[@is.joseee6101]

Guy notice how he kept the filler under the cup as well if filler is not under the cup and u pull it away while it’s glowing it will be contaminated and you’ll have to snip off the end.

[@jderby2666]

Very helpful video but, you did not go over all of the settings. You only said amperage and then start talking about a pedal and torch. What about gas flow SCFM? Polarity? A/C or D/C, what about Hz? pre flow timing? post flow timing? I suppose some of these settings should be read in your equipment manual but, it's kind of important for proper set up. Thank you for the good videos!

[@solomonstello]

Very concise and informative. Your voice was muffles under the hood though. It'd help if you had your mich under the hood too. Great video I really learned alot.

[@TannerV01]

If the arc is making too much of a static sound does that mean you need to turn down the amps?

[@niclobo71]

I've welded on aluminum and stainless steel and I seen that your tungsten was tapered to a point ...but in my experience when I weld on thin or soft metals it tends to burn through until I was told to try my tungsten less tapered ....

[@kf8575]

You Was probably trying to weld with too long an arc then, or not enough amps therefore travel speed too slow giving too much heat input. All a blunter taper does is constricts the arc width, giving a narrower puddle.

[@Phil_Mycock_69]

Too much heat or staying in one spot too long as mentioned, also you need to let thin metals cool, you can’t just keep running the hell out of it in case you’re doing that

[@wac8516]

good video. I've only done stick welding so was cool to see how this type welding was done and you talked plaine and showed a clean view of what you were talking about. reason 4 looking at ur vid was so I'd know what to ask about when I get my stainless exhaust for car and find someone to weld it up. ur a good teacher by keeping it simple and not a bunch of talking about stuff that takes away from learning. thanks 4 vid.

[@wiley0714]

"Sand" paper is used for sanding. Its not sanding paper...

[@mericanboy8054]

Great Video, especially since i'm getting some stainless exhaust done on my 75 scout this week!!

[@wafi3187]

Do I need another tank for purging? Or I can just use the tank I’m using to weld and purge some gas into pipe?

[@2rztaco]

What psi air flow you used

[@swordfish1120]

Is the best way to repair a stainless steel motorcycle header that has some 1/4" gaps and cracks to use a copper backer pressed up to the gaps? I'm thinking that trying to purge this pipe will allow too much argon to escape through the gaps and work against me. Any help is appreciated.

[@leoloera3323]

Helps a lot can you do a d 1.1 series on stick

[@weldtube]

Noted and will do👍

[@ronkreed]

Thank you! Excellent instructional video for us garage DYI guys.

[@muckman5509]

Can you make a video on how to weld the hanger rod to the pipe? There already is way too many videos on pipe welds but not one showing you how to weld the rod to the pipe. I find this way more complicated than pipe to pipe

[@rsanchez5676]

Great explanation bro. Especially liked your restart explanation. Ty!!

[@refugiomorales7821]

What's the wire that you can use that you don't have to purge?

[@dakotaquigley8081]

Doesn't exist

[@EluderRacing]

I am new to big welding I only have 1 tank which is for my tig welder. I want to weld a bung onto my exhaust for a Wideband sensor. what will happen if I don't purge it like you?

[@Phil_Mycock_69]

It’ll be black aka sugared on the inside, if it were me I’d just have as tight a fit as you can, fuse it together on low heat, let it cool, then come back along adding metal for a good thick cap, end of the day it’s only and exhaust, it’s not high pressure or anything so chances of it breaking are next to none if you fuse together then add a thick cap

[@dakotaquigley8081]

Or get a regulator with dual output flow meters

When I start I blow hole in middle of both pipes were the ends butt up. Do I use less amps? Can’t seem to get cuddle long enuf to add filler and move

[@Phil_Mycock_69]

Yea too much amps if you’re blowing a hole at start up

Good work! Would you possibly be able to show how to weld a flange onto an exhaust pipe? Meaning, thick flange to thin tube, I'll be doing this soon to my Miata as the flanges need replacing.

[@weldtube]

Yes sir, we will put that video on the to do list.

[@JamesChurchill3]

@@weldtube Awesome! Thanks guys, much appreciated.

[@swordfish1120]

Good video. Is the reason you have almost no spark (like mig welding) because of the prep of metal?

[@bunbunson27]

That's just the nature of tig welding. It doesn't spatter like mig, but it's a very slow process

[@chiathach206]

What kind of gas are you using ? Tri mix ?

[@wiley0714]

This is great : "Let me show you how to do it", Of course I don't have a sanding belt nor do I have any purge plugs. So in other words you're going to show me how to do it when you don't have the right equipment to do it in the first place. This is a bad joke…

What type/color tungsten do you use for stainless?

2% Ceriated but you could use 2% thorium and not really tel much difference.

[@kf8575]

@@jeepwk6.5L we used to use thoroated at work, went over to ceriated about a year ago now. No, not much difference at all, although id say thoriated is marginally better when it comes to point erosion from the HF.
