I am 40 year welder and instructor. Very informative video for beginners.

[@acetech8642]

I'm here to get ready for welding classes Xp.

[@elgallocosteno6411]

All this information helps me alot Because im working as a welder helper im learning little by little and picking up a bunch of information from alot of videos i love what i do and im very confident that i will be a good welder pretty soon.

[@danielporter892]

Glad you're posting these.A great help for someone just beginning.Thanks

[@ZenoCiti]

Took a welding class in high school, it was great; but we covered everything except tig welding. So thanks for posting this, great tips

[@elgallocosteno6411]

I love the way people give their opinions They show how they love welding, teaching and learning from each other And that helps me alot too.

[@ronsmate]

Kudos. One of the best instructional videos on KZbin. Good one. And yeah the camera work could be better but if your critiquing the camera then you're wasting your time watching this in the first place.

[@grahambird1570]

This is the Best TIG Instruction I have ever had or even known about. I learned TIG in Australia and they only gave us 1/4 of this info, had to copy tips from other Guys and learn by hit and miss !!! Thank you Sir !!!! Communication Gladiator !

[@dillrepair]

hey i didn't catch this guys name but i feel like he did a pretty good job explaining this live. i might have figured out how to do this from him in just one sitting. it helped.

[@transmitterguy478]

Excellent video for beginners, nice and long so the information can be absorbed. Great for young boys and girls. And me, I just bought a big TIG unit.

[@patrickfisher5539]

FANTASTIC! Matt from Eastwood company, your on point brother. This helped me actually understand wtf I was doing wrong lol.

[@haroldwatkins7059]

This is the best information of all the videos that I have seen. Thanks

[@3goallead]

At 11:30 there is quite a difference in the amount of heat input into the metal. You can see the band of "bluing" out from the welds

[@ChangVerandernov]

I learn technical English by your videos! Thanks:)

[@MLFranklin]

You always do a great job teaching us. Great video and editing, too! I appreciate that you guys are there for us.

[@DonnyBwelding1]

This guy ...has a tremendous amount of knowledge .awesome video . Thanks for your products just ordered some stuff

[@dbcooper9401]

thanks for taking the time to put a video like this out. appreciated.

[@victorvelazquez79]

I just had a good time reading the funny coments people made. I like all welding education, Thanks my friend for taking your time

[@mikevanpolen4844]

Excellent video! Thanx and greetings from a Dutch DIY enthusiast.

[@lundertied9966]

Very helpful and​ informative for me as a beginner - thanks a lot!

[@timothywahl4157]

Excellent work, you answered all my questions. The demo's were very helpful too.

[@smithysmithy1]

Great tutorial thanks a lot it really filled the gaps for what I didn't know. Thanks again.

[@SF-rl7hl]

Excellent video for newbies thank you !

[@jamesbergeron2144]

im welding with the tig 200 ac/dc. im welding 1/8 aluminum square stalk. im having troubles getting the puddle started and when it does it melts the metal. and im using the suggested settings

[@JacquesBPoirier]

Great communicator! Something rare.

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Some good tips and instructions here, thanks for the video!

[@thomaskallmyr5027]

very slow and easy to understand-Thank You....

[@cnunez3]

Do you have a video talking about glass lens, cups tungsten size etc? just to understand the different types and why you should use them. thank you excellent videos.

[@knightsbliss6889]

I have a scratch start tig welder runs at 130amps max,and i'm struggling to get an ark started have you any advice that might help me

[@ronaldomeivogel6777]

Very good instruction !

[@ellarpc]

...Welding starts at 37:00

[@michaelbirchall2247]

Great video guys well done. I really enjoyed it.

[@Mikey196601]

I mostly weld D-2 or A-2 and sometimes when I weld a cracked section the weld cracks right away , I have it heated properly , what causes this . These sections I weld are hardened.

[@松田もしくろす]

Your didn't mention two things for newbies. 1) some electrodes contain thorium. These must not be ground on a belt sander because of the risk of inhaling radioactive particles. 2) Where exactly does the current run, and how best to avoid becoming part of the circuit. Using high amperage is scary for beginners and they will shake less if they are not worried about getting shocked. OK, so they should probably start with a stick welder but some start with TIG because they know it is best.

[@mickmangles8000]

Great video thanks for uploading for the beginners very informative fellas , the host should have EAST WOOD tattooed on his fingers though LOL.

[@shivprasadrajput4067]

how much length of electrode should comes out from welding torch?

[@Torga-p1r]

very informative awesome vid!

[@henryorszula9026]

I really got a lot out of this video- eastwood is lucky to have this guy...thanks

[@gowtham171]

Thank you so much for your videos, these videos have saved me a lot.

[@markharris5771]

I’m so new I’ve not even bought a welding machine yet! I know people say a gasless MIG welder is the easiest to learn but I think I will be welding a lot of aluminium when I start. No one seems to like the spool guns too much and MMA is pretty dirty. Taking everything into consideration am I better going straight to TIG welding? Great presentation, thank you.

[@CrimsonCrusader06]

Good video & Usefull informations ! Thanks !

[@markopetrovic4709]

what pressure to setup argon bottle in BAR value?

[@SifuGeorgeHajnasrJEETKUNEDO]

Hello, I'm new to this. Trying to weld an aluminum joint together but I'm having a hard time getting a puddle AT 140 amp (recommended setting) What is the highest Amps I can go without getting in trouble ? I'm using Eastwood TIG WEDLER 200 AC/DC.

[@briangovender6155]

Hi All...I am getting ready to enroll for a TIG Welding course and have never TIG Welded ever before. Any advice would help, I'm nervous but not scared co's I know I can do this thing.

[@eastwoodco]

Brian Govender With a little bit of instruction, most people have no problem TIG welding.

[@jancloddlafront9185]

Brian Govender oh great because tig welding s for humans even girls too.

[@briangovender6155]

Thanks for the encouragement

[@nochan99]

Wow that is a weld of information!

[@parkerzihua]

exelent teacher. very good video!. it would be possible to put subtitles in Spanish?. very thaks.

[@jinh442]

how do I calculate the amps on different types of metals?(stainless, iron.....) what happens if you use more amperage then you need?(hot) would I make a hole on the surface or break the machine?

[@eastwoodco]

Using more amperage would increase the heat, so you would let off on the pedal to decrease the heat as you weld. There is a chart on the machine that will allow you to set it up correctly for the material and thickness you are welding.

[@jinh442]

wow... that was the fastest reply I have ever saw, I'm still watching your video. tyvm for the quick reply :)

[@peterfidzinski1533]

Great educational video👍👍👍

[@bluegoldgr]

Great video thank you so much very helpful👊 appreciate it

[@jamesrodgers1443]

After all the yrs. I'v welded I still don't understand The D C switch ! I know this may sound Like a STUPID ? 'but I'll ask it any way . Can you hook up a T I G to the Batt. of a car ' or Truck & Use that as your power supply ? If so would U have to switch the what I call finger's around inside the welder ???

[@eastwoodco]

When the switch is on DC, the TIG will weld steel. When the switch is turned to AC it will weld aluminum. Some welders are only DC and will only weld steel. Some are AC/DC and will weld both. The Eastwood TIG welders operate off standard household current, either 120 or 240. I hope this answers your question.

[@kareemowheat4107]

This guy can do anything.

[@graafx79]

What would be a good First TIG machine and set up for automotive restos?

[@eastwoodco]

+graafx79 Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC. If you don't need to weld aluminum, check out the Eastwood TIG 200 DC.

[@eugeniodonaque9302]

Is a long sleeve shirt enough to protect you from the UV rays? I've been learning and working in a workshop for the past few months and I usually use a leather breastplate but it is way too hot after some while. Thank you and greetings from Venezuela!

[@VikingRaider]

Wow: ...Really enjoying your presentations! -Cant wait to start pt2 after dinner, And beyond also! How many parts to TIG welding are there?!? Thanks again.

[@sharzanco]

HI , in TIg i can weld normal cheap metal ? not steel . pls advice

[@alanisdagas6615]

the only thing i don't like here is the way you took the video,,,after watching this my eyes sore.......the lecture was awesome

[@kevinvisher5285]

Can you sharpen the tip of the electrode after your done welding?

[@eastwoodco]

Yes, you often need to re-grind the tungsten. Especially if you accidentally dip it into the puddle.

[@STohme]

Excellent video with very useful advice. Many thanks.

[@itoroots7291]

Great video

[@Techgeekengineer]

Has anyone ever used Eastwood's Tig welder? That has no Bias and gives an actual review? I've herd a lot of bad stuff about them throughout different forums.....

[@eastwoodco]

+Steven Willis The TIG comes with a 3 Year Warranty and 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. You can try it for 30 days, and if it's not what you want, you can return it. There are video reviews on KZbin from customers if you're looking for other opinions.

[@christianbarber3420]

+Steven Willis I have tried it, a friend has one, I ended up buying the AHP tig, more user friendly features same warranty, I do a ton of welding with it and love it

[@roberternest2402]

+Christian Barber I considered the AHP but ended up getting an Everlast. I like the AHP too but the Everlast had a couple of features I liked.

[@tward93]

+Steven Willis I just bought one the other day. I weld as a hobby and started with a scratch start Lincoln and have now moved to the Eastwood. I wanted to try a high freq start machine without spending thousands on a bigger brand name. Thus far, it's been a good machine for me. I'm not sure how it would perform in a production setting but I think it will be a great machine for garage use.

[@jxstevep]

+Steven Willis Eastwood takes down any honest review.

[@thequochannel3346]

How thick steel can I weld with a 5/64 electrode

[@nalvarez3505]

Very good information sir thanks

[@KatyLynnWinery]

What are your thoughts on the tungsten grinders that Eastwood sells? I notice the range of prices are all over the place.

[@louiechrisut]

what happens if you use a broken cup?

[@watchere]

As we just finished talking about contamination and how clean the metal has to be, he puts a chair that was on the floor on his work bench, then proceeds to touch the metal he is about to weld directly...

[@honoluluhaoledude5901]

Good dude, great teacher

[@johncampbells9449]

Excellent video

[@AdamMargie4ever]

Great video! Very informative

[@bmkolb]

Good job like the video hopefully I can make it to one of your classes someday

[@Graters1989]

what grit type is safe to use on the belt sander that wont contaminate the tungsten?

[@eastwoodco]

ejgrae1989 The best grit to use to sand tungsten on a belt sander, would be 220. But it should be used for tungsten, nothing else, so you don't contaminate the tungsten. Check out some of our TIG videos for more tips and tricks.

[@neivamejia1780]

do you have any mig basic processes ?

[@eastwoodco]

Try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGeVnaBte6ybhMU

[@shankargurung9788]

ɷɷɷ Heey Friendds I Have Foundddddd Working Online Hacck visitttt : - t.co/3p3nKF4JQk

[@TheTomcat72]

I picked up a TIG200 and I love it. The hose from the bottle to the back of the unit is a little meh. The construction of the unit is really nice and the feel of the controls is really stable. The regulator is decent. I really like the torch and how it feels. The pedal is really nice as well. I bought it from you all while you had a sale. Shipping was quick. The part I dont understand is in your video you say that TIG welding takes both hands, so why do you offer a mask in it that is hand held? I am appreciate the free mask and Im sure when Im showing my son how to weld it will come in handy. But its kind of a waste for the company to include it. But the Unit overall is great and it can take a beginner from zero to producing quality work in a short period. Thanks for the vids. Im sure we will be buying more stuff.

[@wraithvendeta]

Thomas West the hand held mask is an observer's mask. So someone can grab it and watch. My inatructor used one a lot with my class

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

Beginner TIG welder here. I got shocked twice earlier today. Instructor said it was from sweat (no air conditioning in 95 degree weather.) and I'm hoping that's all it was...Are there any other common mistakes that put you at risk for getting shocked? Again I'm new to this so I've got no clue. I've been stick welding for a year now and have never had any issues like that before.

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

Haven't gotten shocked lately. It was definitely the sweaty gloves

[@beaker1736]

+Jordan Brown If you have rings on your fingers take them off and yes sweat from gloves will and can shock you when im in class and tig weld i always try to make sure i bring a towel to wipe sweat or use my long sleeve shirt instead of my gloves

[@beaker1736]

+Jordan Brown If you have rings on your fingers take them off and yes sweat from gloves will and can shock you when im in class and tig weld i always try to make sure i bring a towel to wipe sweat or use my long sleeve shirt instead of my gloves

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

I don't wear rings but yeah I haven't been getting shocked lately fortunately. I've even had my gloves somewhat sweaty (I live in NC and its 90 degrees so sweating is inevitable). My instructor told us that if our filler rod comes into contact with the tungsten when it has arced up then that also can cause shocks. I'm thinking that was probably my biggest issue. My next issue is getting my beads to look good hahaha

[@PapaCasual]

that can happen when like you said, your sweating but your probly leaning on something making yourself grounded while your changing out your tungsten. try not to lean on anything when you do that, might help.

[@somebody301]

If you have an unknown metal to weld, what can you do to know it's composition?

[@jjj0nathan]

i live in a high-rise apartment. How do i provide earthing ?

[@danbev4738]

Very informative

[@l.merbecks8144]

Hello! I would like to know if tig welding feels kind of like soldering? Because I just can't manage the electrode welding /-|. Thanks for answering!

[@MrNytrosdad]

Tats.... Great movie... "you better hold fast"

[@andylawrence6393]

Do you get through a lot of electrodes

[@aviatom1]

"good at sharpening your toungston" , lol, boy can I relate to that

[@luvkountry]

Hi, Interesting video .Do you use a respirator and eye protection safety equipment when grinding the tungsten? We found that grinding tungsten with an electric or cordless drill was good except the chucks didn't last very well. They would bind up with the dust and tungsten grindings quite quickly rendering the drills useless. I stand to be corrected here but I believe the tungsten dust has radio active properties. That is why I asked about using a proper respirator. Quite sure there are tungsten grinders out there with built-in dust recovery systems.

[@Tablesaw818]

Why cant you use 75/25 with tig? Ive been told that straight argon is for aluminum only Thanks in advance.

[@jozzerful2]

Talking about not being able, to see out of your mask, when using lower amp, mister tig welded two sheets of aluminium tin foil that you wrap your sandwiches with lol,and he managed to weld both of them together, and he was using only 3 amps 2 and a half to 3 amps but he was able to see, by swapping out the inside shield on his mask for better visibility, because tree arms you would not see through a normal mask.

[@libertyrodriguez5984]

how about the argon.exact measure of guage

[@digital_harry]

did i miss when he must say the red electrodes contain 2% thorium? it is radioactive and you dont want to have that ground stuff floating around. or he did not say anything about 2% thoriated electrodes?

[@petetull9766]

Thank you Matt

[@SparketDog]

Super Video, hab viel davon gelernt!

[@bsmsavage5491]

So you can sit down in welding?

[@eastwoodco]

Jay Rock When TIG welding, most people prefer to sit down, especially if they're using a foot pedal.

[@bsmsavage5491]

Eastwood Company Oh Ok

[@talbotl.fairbanks3dartist301]

+Jay Rock It would be difficult to TIG Weld standing up as it requires the operation of a foot peddle.

[@moedog5087]

I looked at the AHP alpha TIG 200x. Do you have a comparable welder? what makes yours better than the competitions?

[@eastwoodco]

We offer the Eastwood TIG 200 AC/DC. It comes with a 3 Year Warranty and Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee.

[@4u2cJoeD]

your fillet is smaller than your material thickness. failure at this joint will oucur

[@Tali1562]

Great videos thanks!

[@user-wy5fg2tl7v]

Thanks for the lesson.

[@shawnforan3148]

Eastwood why even though this welder says it goes to ten amps it burns up sheet metal .025 at 20 amps.

[@sadodrive4564]

amazing. thank you.

[@bigman7293]

You shouldn't have a problem using MIG welding gloves for TIG, cause I use my pair of Miller MIG gloves for oxyfuel welding and they work just fine.

[@qua7771]

Cool! I can learn from another left hander.

[@BBurt775]

can you use 100% argon on mig?

[@eastwoodco]

You should use the mix 75-25.

[@BBurt775]

alright, I am going to order a tig/ stick set up and already have a mix bottle, was going to trade it in but ill buy another bottle.

[@andrewwilliams8365]

is the tig200 2t or 4t ? or nether one?

[@eastwoodco]

The TIG 200 AC/DC and TIG 200 DC do not have 2T and 4T modes. The Eastwood Digital TIG 200 AC/DC does have 2T and 4T modes and you can check out the machine here: www.eastwood.com/tig-200-digital.html

[@andrewwilliams8365]

okay. thanks.

[@lkjyuiop1987]

I weld at 220 amp on stainless steel I make car wash vacuums
