      I have been high pressure certified since 1976. He has a point but as a teacher he should be smart enough to know that what people need and are looking for is what the different setting actually do. Eg what does up slope do to the weld. For all the time he wasted telling us that time and hands on experience is necessary he could have just as easily given some useful info. This video tells me he is trying to tell all that he is great and they arent. Total waste of my time

      @@holmes1956O this video wasn't aimed at someone like yourself, it was aimed at the guy who's not long bought a machine for whatever purpose and only really knows how to turn it on. People of certain levels of experience will be after what each setting does. And in that case will be asking specific questions, like "what happens when I increase/decrease the upslope time?". They won't be asking what were your settings for that weld. A standard WPS sheet will have all the settings you need for a specific job, but without the experience or education there is next to no chance a beginner can compete the weld to spec. There needs to be a base of practical teaching of some kind (self taught and youtube videos included), and often many years of practice/ experience, otherwise the settings are just numbers.
      The only reason you got what you did from the video is because that's what you wanted to get. If you already know all you need to know, why watch videos like this?

    Biggest takeaway many don't understand...There is no substitute for experience! Skill isn't magic. That takes time and actually doing it, making mistakes and learning from them. Can't get that from reading a book or taking a class. Taking classes, being taught under a controlled situation is awesome but soon, if one intends to go further, class is over, get out there and do it.
    Awesome video! Puts it out there under no uncertain terms. EXPERIENCE can't be replaced and that means doing something over and over and over again. Skill is developed.

Teenagers should learn how to weld (amongst a bunch of other things, like shoot, fight, live outdoors, play an instrument, chainsaw stuff, type, etc.) They can be office workers later. But plant the seeds early while you can. "Make hay while the sun shines" is what my mom says. (BTW, the typing thing isn't a joke. Learning typing on a typewriter in grade 9 has saved me probably months of my life in wasted time.)

They can give You some inspiration let's say, but You must still read a puddle, and "fine tune" everything with Your hand and pedal if You use one.
      And that was the whole idea behind the video. There are settings, yes. But there are also many variables that come to play. And now that's where it comes back to You.
      So of course, get inspired by those numbers. I was insipred about them too, but I gave it a good amount of scrap material, lunch breaks and good hours after work to find where I need to be with those numbers and still... I gotta fine tune it with what I do.
      Sometimes I don't give a damn and leave it at 80A (for example) all day. I just know I can't put that pedal to the metal on thinner stuff where about 40 is enough. But I'm not looking at the numbers on the machine but at the puddle. And that's it. Read the puddle.

It had a 25 gallon integrated water cooler. This Hobart was a dinosaur and it had practically zero settings other than amp output. It was a really smooth, easy to produce nice, proper welds machine. I'm glad I learned on that machine. As a beginner, I would have no idea what to do with all the setting on the Everlast 350 ext which I currently rock.

    Cannot find good video or photos of various puddles of starters/pros with explanations and yet the puddle will tell you everything that is happening and will happen.
    Many settings can produce the same ideal puddle in context but steps on how to take puddle X and get it to ideal is missing out there. Eg, needs more amps, reduce argon flow.

    AMEN! I used to be a fairly decent TIG welder until I lost most of my vision. Still trying, but what makes it difficult is the difference of vision in my eyes. The left is 20/400 and the right is fairly useless. So, without depth perception, trying to get the filler ron to the puddle is time consuming. I had been welding mostly 4130 thin wall tube for dragsters but, this is impossible now. I just burn holes in the time it takes to get the filler rod to the puddle. If I spent a whole lot on a rig, I could have better control of the amperage and maybe do better, but for now I am just trying to lay a structurally competent bead in mild steel. It is not the settings, it is the welder. I have cheaters stacked on cheaters and wear reading glasses also. Just recently spent some real money on a hood that filters the light better, but that is an issue of my disability. I applaud this video as there is absolutely no substitute for experience and TIME with a torch in your hand. I learned TIG on a very old Marquette welder. Amperage was changed by where you plugged the power lead into the machine. Turn on the gas at the bottle and scratch start. TIG is like the old joke about the guy who is lost in NY city and asks a stranger how to get to Carnegie Hall. "Practice son, Practice!".....

They dont realize that the welds on Instagram is the 600th weld of the day that just turned out perfect while the other 599 were serviceable but not perfect. Or that the 15 minute perfect weld coupon on youtube was 6hrs of filming and human error was edited out. Again setting somewhat unrealistic standards for someone without 4000hrs of practice and experience. I applaud Justin and TFS for making this statement that needs to be made.

    A lot of the old tig welders like my old Linde don't have exact settings. You have a dial that is scaled between min and max and in my case, there are 3 settings for min amps but max possible amps for the top two are the same ~360 amps. So if you wanted more heat you turned up max amps and if you thought your ramp was too steep for what you are welding then you turn it down some. I don't have a readout that says how many amps are set and a lot of the old welders were that way. The new inverter welders are nice with digital settings for all of the parameters and the pulse and frequency settings on the inverters I think do help with some aluminum welds but a lot of parts have been tig welded without exact settings to go to.

My learner was looking for a position to turn the wheel to for each type of bend, corner, junction. Of course, all drivers know it doesn't work that way, but the learner didn't. It is the same with any feed back responsive skill, you can only respond to what is happening in front of you.

    No substitute for practice. None. Why do you think it’s still called the medical practice?

    Hi Justin one problem with what you'r saying is in the land of Australia is we are just getting foot pedal machine for the hobbiest. Up till not long ago we on had scatch start, so setting ment a lot more to us but in saying that practice has no replacment. Thank you for not bullshitting.

    Sometimes the truth hurts. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. Like you said it doesn’t come together until you get the hood time and can read the puddle. Eventually you will be able to trouble shoot your own problems.

      I bet it's easy to pick up doing it his way. Don't even tell his students any settings they should start out as or explain why they should be set there. Just go out and put the machine on whatever you want I suppose and figure it out yourself why your 3/32 rod is burning up set at 140.

It’s absolutely worth every Penny in my opinion, so I’m excited to see you in late June of July...no the heat won’t bother me, lived in Scottsdale for 20+ years.

    1:48 you don't have to ask the pilot, the manufacturer determines a set of parameters which is ideal for landing that aircraft. He's coming in at a certain airspeed, at a specific descent angle, at a certain flap setting. Those are 100% parameters the pilot does not get to choose on the fly.
    Just like there are a set of standardized parameters which work for most GTAW setups. Now, like the pilot example you can't run the aircraft into the ground, there is user skill required but there are a range of parameters that are going to allow the brand new student to have better success than they would otherwise.

    I when I started tig welding I welded maybe 2 or 3 times a month it took about 3 years to get good at it so if your not doing it often don't expect it to happen over night you can over think it all you like but there's no substitute for practice. it takes time to be good at anything but the best thing you can learn is what not to do the rest is up to you.

    For me i compare it to driving a stick, i can explain it until im blue in the face but you wont know what your doing until you get behind the wheel and drive it. And tig sure is that way for me ive watched hours of videos from all sorts of welders and thought i had an idea of what it would be like. First time behind the lens and actually trying it i realized i had absolutely no idea of what i was getting into. But im picking it up slowly getting some of the basics down. I love the challenge

    The best analogy Ive heard was in welding school. Learning how to weld is like learning how to drive a car. You can learn where the pedal is, what the speedometer means, etc., but theres no way to explain how to get your vehicle to 60mphs and maintain it. Yea you press the pedal but full send, halfway down, none of those will get your car to run at 60mph without you actually putting a seatbelt on and driving the car. Just have to put that hood on and dip that tungsten a couple times and go lol. This video will hopefully help alot of up and comers. Instagram welds are nice but focus on it being done right, pretty comes with time.

    • @ebogar42
      @ebogar42 3 года назад

      But you don't just get in a car and go 100 MPH either. It's like you all want us to believe you just turn on a welder and set it where you want, and your weld will come out perfect just as long as you weld it right. Settings matter a whole lot. Gas settings matter. Your amp settings matter. Too much gas will give you porosity. What is your suggestion when their gas is set on 50? Oh, it's not the machine, it's you? Or what if I'm burning a 3/32 rod at 140? It doesn't matter, huh?

    Yes of course, but... That's assuming that you set up your machine correctly before you start welding and forget all the settings on the machine behind you. And that's very important for a newbie. But nevertheless, you brings up a very very valid point.

    The only argument I can see really for asking for settings is just to make sure you are at the right starting point. Looking back and seeing the set back of starting off on the wrong foot can suck sometimes and just turn it into an uphill battle

    This is true even for many students in other fields these days. They are not interested in figuring out a problem, they want a cookbook style solution to the problem. Following a cookbook is something everyone can do but will never give you the results that you want. Putting in time and effort to understand what is happening, that is what will give good results. But now ... instant gratification is the goal. It's sad really ... Of course, there are those that do put in effort, and those typically are the students with the best results. But the percentage of these students is declining.

    The answer to where the foot pedal is, it is where you can comfortly reach and control the weld. Any place that fits is correct.

  • @Tobberobbe97
    @Tobberobbe97 2 года назад

    So I used to have a scratch start tig welder previously which was extremely difficult to get decent welds with (control wise, not looks), and now I switched to one with foot pedal and pulse and the whole nine yards.
    One thing that became apparent for me is that all of the settings like base current and welding current with the pedal made me able to control it way easier and get a good understanding of the process that I never got to do before.
    I find that pulse welding works very well for me with exhaust tubing as it doesn't overheat the material and stays a consistent temperature, took some time to dial it in, but now I get just the exact amount of penetration and also looks great too.
    I am still learning to weld without pulse, but need to get larger filler wire for a high amp project coming up, as I will fix a crack in a 10mm thick metal piece. Considering my luck with the pulse feature, is there any reason not to use when going up in size? I know it takes more amps to melt, but it feels way more controlled and I can manage the heat input better that way.
    Planning on running a wide puddle (high torch height) with lots of amps just to get a nice thick deep penetration through each pass. I feel like if I went with not as high amps but no pulse, I'd end up overheating the material sooner or later, and would have to reduce pedal input.

    A lot of it is to do with muscle memory. I use most of the functions of my Dynasty 350 but I know what I'm trying to achieve and I know how to set the machine but in the end I'm concentrating on the weld puddle that's before me. I've got no idea what amps I'm using apart what I've set as a maximum. When you have been doing this a long time we don't even think what the left hand, right hand, foot on the pedal are doing, it's all happening in unison.
