it's called pay it forward.
Helping someone else without asking for anything in return.
Nice clear instruction. Currently in China but hope to return to Canada in the future and put these tutorials to good use. I fully support the random acts of kindness. Wish you a nice weekend.
From February of this year up to today, I can feel that I’m more of a pleasure to be around because I’ve been actively trying to be nicer and more positive to others (not that I wasn’t to begin with). The only thing that has changed is that I’ve been watching your videos over and over since then. So all credit goes to you, bro! My aluminum welding is still trash though. 🤣
You win the internet today good sir.
I love the act of kindness thing. Also always pass on your good fortune. If something cool happens or if someone does for u.
Very kind & knowledgeable person dusty!! We could have more human beings like you on earth!!
First look at your videos today and worth the watch.
You are doing a great job!
Great videos Dusty! I've learned more from you about TIG than anyone else. Hope to meet you someday on the island.
Thanks for the positive info I'm new at tig welding finding good legit info is hard, and good vibes man. Thanks.
Thank you Dusty. Very helpful information for a total beginner. Thanks
Wow...that close up shot in the four sided boss welded to the plate...magnificent. Congrats
love your channel and all the help! Spread the love and positivity
Thank you fir explaining tig torch components and the goid/easy vibe🤙🏽
Love your videos man! I've learned so much as a beginner from you, thanks!!
great info Dusty, thank you very much
Love watching and learning from you.. great video as always
Good job on this video, I've been a pile driver/foundation
Welder for 16 years. Now I'm in a shop,and i see how much I need to relearn. Great video
Beautiful explanation dude Thanks
Thanks for the info. Basic, but just what beginners need.
Thanks for the positive atitude
Big Hands up 👍
Great back to the basics video Dusty.
Thanks for the tips, love your channel
Great video for TIG novices, thanks.
Totally agree with your 'pay it forward' philosophy.
Here in the rural areas of New Zealand's South Island we have a good culture, when I'm out running people occasionally stop to see if I need a lift !
Good info, nice one
Nice review of the set up!
Very nice Dusty! Have a nice weekend!
Great tutorial Sir, I am subscribed now, because I'm still learning, thanks for sharing. And more power.
Nice job my man! Quickly becoming youtubes favorite tig teacher of the 2020's. (And the most consistent content) everybody else seems to mellowing out. The fabrication series has got a nice new setup but not really teaching beginners that much on RUclips nowadays. You da man D-man! P.s. I write nice things on beginners instagrams everytime I'm on there, ESPECIALLY if they only have 3-30 likes. :)
great episode ... as always
Love your content dude!! Wish I could get out that way for a class!!!
Awesome info
Realy appreciate your attention to detail, (from complete novices perspective) so no matter how insignificant it may seem to you just explain away I personally need everything explaining. ..........so how does one "ball there tungsten" thanks rusty. Keep em coming.
Your great at teaching
Nicely done🤘💙👊
Dusty, Great info and attitude!!! I'm in
Thanks for watching! Check out PART TWO here! ruclips.net/video/92xpxirbBC4/видео.html
cheers dusty love channel keep up great work👍🏻😃
good on you,,,friend
Dusty, would you mind making a video on how to set up the actual welding machine and what the different settings on the machine mean and how it affects your welds? This would help greatly! Thanks so much. - Fred
I don’t know if your already covered this, but can you discuss the numbers on the cup sizes and how you choose the right size cup and tungsten. Thanks for the awesome vids. Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 🤟🏻
Cool thing. The measuring of the cups is same in europe, but we use litres per minutes, not CFH. What's the cool thing? The number of cup equals LPM You should be running for that cup.
w0w! man.. I was thinking, you must use a TON of ARGON! :) Keep up the good worK!
Chris and Pat, at Victoria Waterjet say hi :)
Hope all is well
Miss the Procom crew!
Good information and I really appreciate your attitude! It's worth noting that the EP (electrode positive) portion of the AC wave used in aluminum welding puts a lot more heat in the tungsten than the normal DCEN (electrode negative) polarity used for mild steel and stainless. Some ceramic and clear glass (Pyrex/quartz) cups are limited in their amps on AC or are not meant for welding AC at all because they can't take this heat. And of course aluminum welding takes more heat/amps than equivalent thickness steel to begin with, so the combination means you might want to use 1 size bigger tungsten than you would need for steel. Aluminum doesn't need great gas coverage, so traditional (non gas lens) collet bodies and cups work just fine on aluminum most of the time.
I run 140a with a water cooled torch, welding all day and the gas lenses don't last as long as the old style diffuser type. Could be to do with the heat like you are saying.
I bought some cheaper gas lenses once and none of them would weld aluminium without ruining the weld.
merci
Awesome video thanks. Can I use a Lincoln 120 DC inverter welder to tig aluminum?
Cheers Dusty, watched a ton of your videos and they are so help full. My question to you : iam wanting to fill in small holes in landrover panels that are as you probably know, made of aluminium. They can however be old and sometimes showing signs of corrosion. What is your best advice for this type of repair. Regards greg
Can teach how to weld cast aluminum like engine crankcase..what filler want to use and the setup..thanks 😊
Watched a number of your videos, tons of great info and fun videos, keep up the great work.
Do have a question
To ball or not to ball tungsten?
Reading my manual for my everlast 256si.
It says DO NOT ball the tungsten.
You still talking about balling it, with these new inverter machines.
Why still ball modern 2% tungsten, with modern inverter machines?
How do you ball the tip?
how do you ball your tungsten end? Appreciated
Can you explain why you ball the end of your tungsten?
Do you sell any of your work ?
Yes I do!:) You can grab me through DM on Instagram @pacificarctigwelding :))))
The one single thing that will improve welds on aluminium, most of all is ditching any sort of gas lens, and fitting a std front end set up.
Where can I get a back cap like those. I’d like to get something different then the black one.
How do you ball your tungsten?
I had a 26 style torch with my machine and a 80 piece consumables pack, I bought a ck9 with gas saver kit, will the standard 26 cups fit on my 9 if so what do I need to make them fit ??
Hey dusty, if you can help, I'm having trouble welding my aluminum SLOW! Seems like if I dont speed up I burn through my aluminum material very quickly! I'm working with .060" square! I'm thinking about going with a smaller tungsten than 3/32
This is Radom but what’s the best way to cut tungsten down to shorter pieces like what you have shown? I’ve tried snips bandsaw metabo etc. everything I’ve tried splinters the tungsten. I wanna cut them up so I can sharpen a bunch for when I dip considering I’m fairly new to tig
my random act is teaching others how to weld with out any pay, also giving away tools to help them...cheers
A larger torch for aluminum vs. stainless to slow down the heat build up?
Alright, maybe this is the right place to ask,,, ac vs dc set ups, can the same torch be used for both or does the torch or internals need to be changed before you change the current?
Thank you for your video.
I tried TIG welding aluminium with a gas lens but the lens gets clogged up very time and the gasflow becomes distorted.
Probably because of the AC.
My material as clean as possible so that there is hardly any dirt. What do I do wrong?
My act of kindness, I just gave away some airbrush equipment to someone who wanted to learn how to airbrush
Amazing. You made an art fan happy then! Well done!🙏🍻
This is great! I am just starting out and am currently using the standard diffuser type collet body setup but have been thinking of trying a gas lens. Would you recommend someone starting out to wait until they are more experienced to switch to a gas lens setup? Or do you think it would be worth it for a beginner like me to switch to the gas lens? I am loving your videos, brother!
As a beginner- you’ll be dippin like crazy...😂🙏 It happens. No big deal, however when you run a screen those are super easy to mess up by contamination and splatter from dipping. I’d get a bit more familiar with hand control and posture, then gear up with some finer tuning like lenses and nicer cups:)🍻
@@PacificArcTigWelding Awesome, that is exactly what I was wondering, if the lenses could get messed up easily. I definitely have been dipping my tungsten a ton! Each day I feel I am getting better and better though. Videos like your have really been helping me out, I appreciate it! BTW, do you have any merch (hats, shirts) for sale?
@@PacificArcTigWelding When you add filler to the puddle in aluminum welding, the puddle tends to plump up (rise toward the tungsten tip) more than it does with steel or stainless. I've found that can really increase the tungsten contamination/dipping. Jody (Weldingtipsandtricks) and others recommend trying to raise the tungsten just a bit higher when dabbing the filler rod, in a rhythm. I've tried this technique and it works.
Really enjoy your videos! I am COMPLETELY new to TIG welding. How do you get the small ball on the end of the tungsten?
Get a piece of scrap and weld on it
Torch at 90 degrees to flat workpiece gives cleanest ball, play with the AC balance
I am new to tig, not new to welding.
Peace🍻🇨🇦👨🏭
Hey Dusty. Why a 26 for AL and a 9 for SS? Thanks!
The 26 size is rated for 250A, the 9 is 120A or so? Stainless is typically thin, and welded at lower current, so you can use a nice small torch
Could have explained balling a tip.
I never use gas lenses with aluminium. Some cheaper ones just don't work due to contamination. Any dips just more expensive, use the cheaper collet bodies/gas diffuser, especially a learner.
Gas screen pointless for aluminium
The aluminium doesn't need loads of shielding, it's mostly the tungsten that needs the gas. I use a 5 cup with 2.4mm zirconium tungsten.
I have a water cooled torch, and I can weld 140a all day without it getting hot.
🌚
can you trane me online
How does one make the ball? Yes random acts of kindness are a regular activity.
Too much talking and repetitive
