TIG Welding Rod Rack, Pulse Settings, Speed Tacking and more

[@rickylee2477]

I spend of lot of time on this channel as a self taught tig welder. So I make sure to spend a little time and money at the weldmonger store. I really appreciate all of the free knowledge and experience that you share on here.

[@arnomaas6452]

there may be many other welding youtube channels but polite,honest,patient,helpful hosts are rare ! Thank you for your videos !

[@MrSiloketh]

This channel is a 100x better than that "Mr TIG", you actually explain things in better detail and produce a better more informative video

[@LuiJoTD]

Jody always seems to be the kind of friendly helpful teacher, Mr Tig on the other hand feels more like he is bragging and rubbing in your face that no one would ever be as good as him

[@DCweldingAndArt]

@@LuiJoTD wow lol that's a very honest, very accurate description there bud. I always kinda felt that way, I think that's why Jody is the Godfather of KZbin welding, whom everyone wants to meet. His attitude is more like a humble teacher than most others

[@jacksontvvlogs7145]

Wow

[@kylefentz]

Mr. TIG sounds like hes selling me a Buick which will also never be as good as his cadillac

[@ianyonok]

I'm learning TIG, so this channel is very informative and things are explained very well. Thank you Jody.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Never TIG welded before, but after watching this fine video. I'm considering buying a real TIG welder and start learning. Thanks from Colorado.

[@bcbloc02]

Jody, your channel is well worth the time for anybody, especially for anybody that welds!

[@stratton78ja]

+bcbloc02 Damn right!!!

[@garywestin6907]

+bcbloc02 Been watching Jody ever since I got my powertig welder and have learned far more than in any classroom.

[@bcbloc02]

Gary Westin I used to always have trouble with uphill stick but after watching and learning from Jody I have no trouble doing it now.

[@Agustin-jo8mv]

It even seems like the commercial time is useful. haha. Jody seems so genuine and bring enough value that I always watch the advertisements. haha.

[@milkcrate82]

There are other choices for welding videos... yours is the only one I am subscribed to! Best on YT! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@TheOldKid]

milkcrate82 same here. I use to watch others too but they get so commercialized it influences their reviews. another one wants his nickname so bad he refers to himself in the third person way too much. Jody keeps it real and honest with clear tips and helpful advise

@@mvcg-cl4cr shop at his store Im sure hell take a check also

[@FiremanCH87]

I miss the projects you used to make. Like your downdraft table, three legged stool and such. I always liked watching you fabricate.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+FiremanCH87 noted

[@krusher74]

+weldingtipsandtricks how about welding up some exhaust pipe, like a header build.

[@notretiredrefreshed3245]

+weldingtipsandtricks Great tips Jody. You really are a valuable contribution to welders. I purchased an Everlast mts251si pulse mig welder and would really appreciate more videos from you about pulse mig welding especially around settings for various thicknesses and materials.

[@paulkoo3692]

Got to love the fact you give measurements in both inches and millimeters

[@exuptoy]

Hey Jody, just a quick hi from the U.K. Only just started using a Tig after purchasing a Parweld XTT202 AC/DC and wasn’t sure how to set up the pulse settings. Love your videos as everything is clear and concise and everything is explained very well. Keep it up.

[@wallbawden5511]

also building the simple brackets as you call them its good practice for us novices keep the tips coming and your tool you use have similar had it for years got the tip for that from an old gent who was a cooper of all things and black smith nice chap thought me a lot witch i am now have the time to get back into all of this sort of stuff also have the lathe and mill all good tools for making all sorts of stuff hence watching your videos cheers

[@ckiriako]

Jody you have the best welding videos, the best youtube welding channel imho

[@Florida-welder]

love your channel bro.... you go a lil more in depth then any other welding youtuber out there ..... keep it up bro.....

[@sedulousdabbler5468]

Thank you so much for including 'mm' in your explanations. Not many Americans do. It's really handy for English viewers. We have got it all here. If you buy timber or metal in England you can often ask for 3 meters of 2"x4". WTF? Keep it coming, I love your stuff :-)

[@joelyboyblue]

You've got the best stuff on KZbin Jody, I share it every chance I get, hope you are only gaining viewership

[@garyclagett1848]

I am a big fan of yours , love the close ups you show, best view of Welding on the web !!

[@kevinlwiltfong7941]

Yeah Jody, there are lots of choices on KZbin, but you truly set the standard for others to try their damndest to match. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and techniques.

[@peterbaynes5804]

Nice work Jody... as always. I liked the speed tacking demonstration, very effective.

[@liquidtool]

Hey Jody, I build custom furniture, and much of my welding education has been from you and Chucke2009. What I can't seem to find on youtube, strangely, is much of anything about the fabrication part of welding. Tons about the beads, and almost nothing about best practices for fabrication. What welds to hit first, how best to clamp complicated frames, how to combat warping, etc. My beads are plenty good enough for what I do, but what kicks my ass is getting things clamped up and tacked and welded clean without shit getting all the hell out of square. So I, for one, am asking for more content like that. As far as I'm concerned you're the best source for it.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Joe Doesntcareaboutthis I heard ya...I am trying to get material for a couple more welding carts so I will give some attention to warpage etc on that. project

[@vanguardcycle]

I'm with you, more fabrication vids would be great.

[@papalilburn]

Absolutely one of the best most informative videos you've made. Thanks!!!

[@plyzo]

Jody curious what you use to cut your metal so its perfectly square? Maybe you could create a short video on that. Thanks and always look forward to your videos you posted. Thanks man.

[@timshelton4862]

Hey Boss, Lincoln just released a Square Wave Tig 200 today. I'm interested in that machine and I didn't know if you might do a review on it. Thanks for the vids and soon I will have a reason for a tig finger!!

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Tim Shelton Hoping to get my hands on a Lincoln Square wave Tig 200 soon.

[@justinverbaux6474]

+weldingtipsandtricks Hey Jody I didn't quite catch it and I don't think you mentioned it but what model Everlast welder is that? Another great video and wonderful tips!

[@lewisdrake5765]

+Justin Verbaux Looks like an Everlast PowerTig 210EXT. You can just catch the model number in the bottom right corner around the 8:30 mark when Jody adjusts the pulse settings.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Justin Verbaux 210ext...thanks

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Nice rack haha, i am making myself some of these, all mine is on my peg board pegs horizontal, those occasional use ones are a challenge to remember which one is what.

[@RobTyrer]

Great vid! Gonna have to keep those chill blocks in mind, and make one of those tacking spoons!

[@jjs4x]

Hey Jody get video as always! When will you be giving more detail on the new powertig you used I. the first part of the video. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that machine. Can't tell if it's the 210 or the 255. Thank you, Jason

[@chrisboyce6542]

Hi Jody I congratulate you or your great delivery and presents in your videos, I have an Elektrobakum 180 AC/DC purchased in 1995 and have not learnt to use it until lately when I found a line of work to use it. Your videos have imparted more UNDERSTANDABLE information in the last year of watching than I have picked up from all those years of reading and practicing bad skills. I found it hard reading from a German instruction book ( I can only read the pictures) Go KZbin

[@HuckleberryIND]

Thanks for the videos. They've been very helpful for a couple of years now. Keep burnin' rod!

[@es47]

Love that rod holder i am going to make one but going to use 1.5" pvc as i have tones thanks for the idea

[@chokobass225]

what is a good setting to weld 11 gauge stainless steel sheet metal using a miller dynasty 200. Great video by the way very helpful.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Carlos Rodriguez settings for 11 ga would depend on the end goal in my opinion. but for similar joints as shown in this video, same settings with more amperage would work...20% on both pulse time and background, 1-2 pps, I used about 105-110 amps for the welding on carbon steel on 14 ga. That might work ok, but I would think amperage would be more like 125 for 11 ga stainless using pulse. with a foot pedal, I would set amperage up around 150 and just read the puddle and press pedal until I got the size puddle I wanted

[@papahajek5383]

Your pyrex cup revealed a unique gas lens configuration. My early experience with these were similar to an aerator used on a water faucet. Since it was in the mid 60's my memory is vague, but I remember only 1 very fine screen as a diffuser, that was incorporated in a module that threaded into the collet adapter threads of the torch. What I think I see on yours is more like a very coarse steel wool. Do they work better than the old ones? I quit using mine because of added cost and limited performance improvement.

[@streetglideride5785]

It's strange that you come up with this video on pulse settings I was just gonna ask you if you could make a video on it I weld thin aluminum stainless carbon for a living all the tips I can get it greatly helps thank you so much sir

[@joelyboyblue]

I believe he's done some pulse Tig vids before

[@doubledown9333]

Good stuff Jody, just a suggestion, could you do a video on pulse GMAW if you have the equipment.

[@purelife9000]

Thank you for putting out such good content. You're an inspiration.

[@Lambear82]

Another great video. What gas flow rate are you using with that 3/4" cup?

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Cory 20-25 cfh depending on stickout

[@Lambear82]

+weldingtipsandtricks Ok thanks. That's not a whole lot more argon than using a standard #5 or #6 cup, but seems to provide a lot better shielding.

[@lewisdrake5765]

+weldingtipsandtricks I love to see what settings you would use with a mig pulse welder like the powermts251si. I've been mucking around with mine and have some settings written down that seem to work for me but would like to see what you come up with.

[@123jogger123]

Very good videos :-) But a few questions regarding the chill blocks. I want to produce stainless steel containers for galvanic purposes of 300x200x250mm size build of 1mm 1.4301 sheets. So I will have to use some sort of cooling to get perfect boxes. 1. Don't the aluminium chill blocks weld with the stainless steel? Aluminium has a melting point much below steel so I wonder if there is no sticking. Or is the conductivity so high that there is no problem? 2. Copper has a higher conductivity - but it is also much more expensive. Can I get my wished boxes by staying with aluminium? 3. What's about an active cooled "chill block frame" for my boxes? I think of some bores through the block and then pumping water through them. Is this effort worth it? Thank you guys :-)

[@alambiquemejico8800]

Can you make a video explaining all the specs on how to tig bronze..including wich Tig rod or tungsten rod to use in the bronze welds?

[@maintmech1245]

He has actually, might have to look back a little when he was brazing onto 409 stainless. I believe he almost always uses a 2% lanthanated tungsten electrode, even when tig brazing. That vid is a good start but it's been in quite a few vids

[@alambiquemejico8800]

+maintmech1245 But I dont know with vid is it?it would be best to make a new one or more ones vids

[@StuffIMade]

great video! Not sure if you noticed, you still have space for more welding helmets on that wall :)

[@chipfriday8166]

Cool idea of using plastic to make your spring-thing! A little black paint and wall!

[@bchant19]

again great tips as always but I didn't like the shot at 10:46 onwards where you have the web of your thumb and first finger in line with the blade when you were cutting the test piece you should of used a push stick or both hands

[@inthefreytoo]

Was watching your technique on this; Touching the metal with the electrode and then placing the tack. What is the spark we see when you touch the metal? Something leaking? Latent charge? Just curious - Thanks!

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+inthefreytoo I believe its a latent charge ...like a capacitor discharge to aid the arc starts....kinda weird huh?

[@mordantly]

Is one second post flow sufficient? Tacking roll cage sections... Probably 100s of tacks so not wanting unnecessary flow.

[@ToTheStarsSB]

Im working on nuke quals running EB rings on CuNi and Cres with purge. It would be cool to see some videos of consumable insert 1 and 2 inch V or J bevels. I tried to hunt your page for videos on Rings so i could fake it but they came out alright.

[@vwdarrin]

always great videos , and thank you for your time

[@cryptomastermind786]

Hey Jody your video are awesome I learned heaps thanks a lot

[@STUDIOSEIKOCPU]

I want a TIG machine to solder gold and silver, which do you recommend?

[@Mudweizer]

What did you use to cut the metal for the brackets? Enjoyed the video.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

+Chris Wanczyk I used a Milwaukee portaband with a swagoffroad stand to cut the pieces...decided to leave that part out just to shorten the video a bit

[@Mudweizer]

+weldingtipsandtricks Nice cuts!

[@JF_Fabrications]

Great Video as Always, thanks Jody

[@BisdremisKostas]

i spot that you touch the corner with the electrode then backup and then light up , should i do the same ? and why ? thank you very much for all your info .

[@Motorrad127]

I've always wondered what the science is behind having to touch the tungsten before starting a weld, otherwise the high freq doesnt do its job..

[@artemtsvetkov3655]

Thank you very much for all the videos that you do!

[@lucianosantucci108]

great camera work - very well presented

[@dancaszatt9266]

Speaking of silicon bronze would you do a video on cast iron with silicon bronze?

[@gancicida]

+Dan Caszatt Actually,he did in the video about brazing old lamp post.Check out.

[@juanespinoza2150]

Jody do you get brass welding jobs and can you make a video on brass welding.

[@Wild_Bill57]

Jody, thinking about building a small (4x8x5) camper, using 11ga. 2x2 sq tubing for the frame. What do think about using this technique to tack the entire framing together? Would stick or TIG the frame joints once it’s all tacked. What are your thoughts? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated,

[@WrenchChill]

What machine were you using that has a spot timer?

[@stevefriedlander7053]

First, just got my TIG finger XL and love it. I'm taking a TIG class at the local college. Can you tell me what Welder you used for this video?

[@markstevansen542]

I think it was an Everlast welder.

[@Migueldeservantes]

When do you plan to make a welding quadcopter??

[@edwinsolheim8870]

Hi Jody, I notice you touch the metal with the tungsten tip before you do a spot weld. Any particulare reason you do this? I have a new very similare welder (to the machine you're using here) that wont initiate the arc - unless I touch metal first. Any idea what might causing this? (I assume it should not be like this with HF start and all...)

[@jawneelogik5744]

I don't know whether you've answered this question yet, but is your machine set for "Lift arc" or "HF?" Thx. BTW, I see that you seem to favor Everlast equipment overall. That's why I just pulled the trigger on a new PT 255EXT. I'm expecting good things.

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed the video and lessons, tips & ideas

[@jus1975]

what is the chemical that was used to clean the weld to view penetration

[@cleberrodolpho7661]

só posso dizer que você é um big welder , fantastic, um abrção aqui do seu amigo do brasil

[@charliemarks6096]

I sure wish I could weld as good as you with my powertig welder. I am practicing though.

[@draytonPW]

Why do you touch the tungsten to the middle of the joint before each tack?

[@ozzygonzalez8317]

So i just bought a 141 milermatic, im a college undergrate at Treasure valley community college. Well to get to the point i was wondering what type of jobs could i do to earn some extra cash? Also how nessesary is a respirator. Great Video by the way

[@joelyboyblue]

Take any job you can get- post on Craiglist, put out a sign- go see if any machine shops need parts fixed/welded. You always want to weld with ventilation, use a fan, open a garage door etc
