Just got my first TIG welder for my shop. 59 years old and still learning new skills. Appreciate you showing me how to set up my torch.
I’m new to TIG welding and wasn’t sure how to set up my torch. This video answered all my questions. Thanks! 👍
I think you missed your calling, you should have been a TV host. But until then keep up the great video's! I've forgotten so much and your video's bring it all back :)
When I put my collet in the backside it just slides all the way in like a hotdog in a hallway. It doesn't interact with the back cap at all. Best video I've seen on this so far though. Thanks.
Perfect, clear cut, simple, thanks! Can't understand who would give this a thumbs down.... TWO THUMBS UP from me :)
awesome explanation for a first time welder!
all sweet and dandy using the CK torches, BUT...what about the Miller torches ? like the OLD Torch Miller 150 CE-M and the compatibilities with the Furick cups and collets, heat insulators, gas lenses EtC .... a video explaining them will be appreciated. cheers man.
i like the intro. short, funny, not obnoxious.
Simple and very informative video
Could you show how to install a DINSE connector and what are the different types of DINSE connectors.
Nice video 👊 another thing for everyone asking which tungsten is best weldporn has a multi pack with I think 5 different kinds 2 of each. Figure that might help people that are starting out or queries which tungsten to get or want to try a couple different types out thanks for the good video
I find the torch heats up faster with a stubby gas lens kit installed, I do mostly welding with the standard cups. If I need a short setup I'll change it over to the stubby lens and put the standard cup back on afterwards.
great video thanks for dubbing it down for a beginner like myself :)
Good series, any chance if showing pencil tig torch in action?
Im interested to see how the consumables fit in a ck9 pencil torch. I assume they are the same or similar to a ck micro torch but have been unable to find any diagrams or info online
thank you. great vid.
Good tips boss
thanks, that's super helpful
Thank you
Super helpful man
Like I said 11'd bagillion times... Great video and all your videos are super helpful!
Can you talk about the different type hoses
thank you
so how do u get a middle size tungsten from 175 or 150mm?
Can I run a ck17 fx without the Teflon insulator? My ck worldwide stubby gas lens kit came with 2 small black insulators, no fit
Can anyone describe the combination for electrode Needed for 1.6mm thickness compared to Collet thickness 2 ? My tungsten electrode won’t tighten up. Do I need 2.4 tungsten to fit into a collet number 2
This is all well and good, but if my back cap is coarse thread, does that mean it's probably a #9 torch? I watched this 3 times trying to figure out what I have because it's not labelled and everything extra I have on hand is fine thread, but I figure I should replace the torch anyway with something that takes more common consumables.
Does it matter if I put in the tungsten without unscrewing the back cap
Thanks pal
So how does it connect to the machine?
What do I need to know to fit it to any machine?
what do the numbers and letters mean on a TIG cup mean like 53N58 what does the 53 58 and N stand for, represent?
Justin, thank you for your great fabrication videos. Currently I am welding 6061 aluminum. I need to get into a tight spot with 3/4" to 1" stick out with the tungsten. What parts do I need for my 17 series torch to accomplish this? Thank you, Phil
Instead of trying to stick the tungsten out that far and risking losing coverage, look for a "long cup" with a small orifice.
It's a tight area and I can't fit a long cup in there. I tried practicing on scrap 6061 using a gas lens with a number 8 cup with the 17 series torch with 1/2" stick-out, but all I was getting was a shitty ass weld. I even raised the argon up to 20cfh still a lot of soot and pepper in the puddle, and shitty weld. I am beginning to think that welding on aluminum it's not possible to use a long stick out...
maylockin If I had another solution I'd offer it up. You could try to build a dam or something on the back of it or even point a purge hose at it with a bunch of stickout, but it's probably going to give you fits.
Try using a FUPA 12 by Furick or the BBW by Furick
Robert Yelverton They specifically state not for use with AC.
"Slowed down version" LOL, that is not a speed on your dial man! Great videos.
Ck worldwide trimline 26 is a great torch also if you wanna stick with air cooled same size as the 17 but can go up to 200 amps the cable is a 26 cable though
17 air cooled is my favorite and 20 Water cooled. I like that I can share the same cable with 17 and 9. I want to try one of those heads for tubing
Welding Junkie yea I love the 20 now only think I don’t like is I have a everlast water cooler and it is pretty loud. My second favorite is the 26 trimline
Chris Wojnarski I know the feeling my HTP water cooler is loud too however my miller Coolmate 1.3 is really quiet
Welding Junkie I almost got a miller too but used on eBay for around same price as everlast new . Good thing though I got 2 new water coolers out of it the first one they sent was damaged only the red quick connect fitting was damaged there like 10 bucks online so that was a plus
Chris Wojnarski you really can’t beat the everlast and HTP coolers just drives me nuts it always runs. Both mine turn on and off with machine but only my miller turns off if you stop welding for 45sec. You sell the other one?
Can you use a tigwelder on a new Ford trucks aluminum body with high frequency start or will it damage electronics?
Thomas Culver You can. Just dont ground the machine directly to electronics.
Just avoid the radiator supports. Those are magnesium. You have to purchase really expensive hard to find magnesium rods.
Take the batteries out just for good measure
Is there anything you can show us about the torches that have the trigger on them?
shelbydog1100 you can put a trigger on any torch but there are the one that have the switches in the torch. They are wired to the machine.
Justin, do you have problems with the collet not tightening on the tungsten after awhile?
Yes. They get worn out the more you use them. Try switching to a CK Worldwide wedge collet.
The Fabrication Series mine seem to wear really quickly, as for ck stuff here sorry its over priced.
Thanks justin!
Aha! I had the same issue. I think I've learned more in an hour of reading your responses and watching your videos than I have in days of reading random welding stuff online. So much hands on no-nonsense info.
Alex K i know right, i just watch the videos and i dont go on websites. Toooo much misinformation.
Right? And they usually discuss meaningless things back and forth. This is full of fresh information and to the point.
Why would my tungsten that came with the TIG keep slipping out even when I tightened it as far as possible? I'm a bozo; I realized there are different sized collets that came with it. By the way, Thanks for all your videos! 👍

This could be a great series. What do think.
👍
please answer my question abaun the welder please
God bless
why my tungsten is not pointy?
#Dontfthetorch
This will be awesome to have
Is there any reason NOT to use a gas lens?
Ben Sonetimes. If you can't get one in a tight space or if you want less etching lines visible on aluminum.
Awesome. Thanks for the reply!
Very good info, I didn't know gas lens increase etching lines!
What exactly is stubby about a ‘stubby’ torch?
As a newbie to tig they look fairly identical to me. This wasn’t covered in your previous torch video that I can recall.
Basically you can use 9 series cup and collects on 17 style torch when using the special stubby gas lens for the 17 torch. It will all make sense when you purchase a stubby set up for a 17 torch. But take a close look at the stubby gas lens compared to a standard gas lens for a 17 torch, that along with the insulator is how they make a stubby 17 torch. Hope that helps
make subtitled videos You are a crack but for me I am from Spain it is impossible for me to understand you. and I try hard to believe me. a greeting . very good videos this is taken from Google translator. Hahaha
Lo mejor es ver vídeos y más vídeos, al final te acostumbrarás y lo entenderás todo .
Sorry. Why do you need a 9, 17 or 26?

Wuuf???
