Thanks SO MUCH for watching! TAKE MY FREE ONLINE ALUMINUM TIG WELDING CLASS👇 app.ewebinar.com/webinar/tig-welding-aluminum-with-no-prior-experience-no-schooling-and-with-whatever-gear-you-have-10740
All those settings. I can only change amerage, polarity, post purge time and start or continuous high freq. The weld quality is up to me. I can't blame my setup of the machine.
I have been watching these videos for over a year! I have been trying to tig with not much success I bought tons of stuff, cups gas lenses, and still every weld was terrible! Until today I looked at my gas bottle and realised I have a bottle of shielding argon for mig!!! Not straight argo! I can't believe I have been tearing my hair out. At least I know it wasn't amps, balance, gas flow, metal prep! It wasn't the right gas!!!!
I have really enjoyed and learned from your videos. I noticed on this video that you were welding on a sheet of aluminum as opposed to directly on your steel welding table, Are you using the aluminum as a "chill bar"?
as always love your content I have a long ways to go before I'm as experienced as you but I'm catching up. (ya nice way of calling you old JK) This video was perfect timing though you really drilled home cleaning and showing how to clean as well as body position even though you didn't mention it you clearly demonstrated it and guess what in the PW community today these basic things you did and talked about is were the big questions from the newer welders asking for help.
Hey man, could you possibly do some content to teach about welding with a mirror, I would love to hear your insight as I am trying to learn myself and am really struggling
I know aluminum is a different animal when it comes to tig welding, but I was wondering if you ever weld on mild steel? I can only afford a welder that only has an option for DC welding. Id appreciate a response man!
DUSTY, I HAVE BEEN ASKING WELDERS OF ALL KINDS ON YT, BUT NO ANSWERS.. PLEASE, HOW DO YOU GET YOUR CLOSE UP WELD SHOTS WITH THE WELDING LENS?.. COULD YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON THE SETUP?
I just purchased an inexpensive tig welder. If anything I do looks remotely like that first sample you showed us, I will be doing cartwheels - a hard job for a chunky 60 year old lmfao
Not gonna lie i just got a machine havent tried yet waitn on a few packages in mail...but i would be excited if my first pass looks anything like that first 1 ..lmao
Great video, thanks! What tungsten are you using in this vid? What size and type filler rod are you using? What is the thickness of your coupons 1/8”? Thank you
Damn dusty you got skills no doubt. Thank you for being so positive too especially this day and age. Just purchased a prime weld 225 and starter aluminum tig 3 days ago. Def challenging. What thickness material is best to practice with at first?
what welding helmet do you use? The Optrel helmets are pretty pricy...The auto-darkening helmet that I use was one from Harbor Freight. The helmet works just fine for the production MIG work I am using it for at a company that I volunteer for. The darkening knob is on the outside of the helmet and it doesn't click into each setting. It free wheels and when it's bumped it will change the shades, which is annoying. So a piece of duck tape is used to keep it in the shade I need. I want a helmet with the darkening knob inside as this is not working for me at the moment.
I have a Lincoln viking 3350 PAPR welding hood, when i bought it it was about 1400. I bought it because i discovered stainless tig fumes lol. Still i would recommend the setup, but with one adjustment to what i had gotten, get one with a flip up shade lense, if you get a PAPR. The controls on the Lincoln are all on the inside, and has a grind mode switch. With the PAPR setup, it's a pain to switch from welding to grinding, and it's a great hood otherwise. Another thing to consider, does the company you are working at supply replacement clear lenses for their welders? Mine did and that influenced my purchase a bit since i didn't need to buy them myself, so if yours does, I'd consider getting a similar model hood that they supply parts for. I highly recommend investing in a PAPR hood, welding is a dusty job, the powered filter will greatly reduce what you inhale and help keep you a little cooler under the hood in the summer, and without the sweaty respirator.
How about some real world dirty thin steel vs new coupons? Everyone does new metal but rusted 50, 60 or 80 year old 18, 19 & 20ga steel repairs & work, I’ve never seen it & yet that’s what I really need to see because that’s where all the problems pop up, not on clean new coupons.
My screen printer forgot to remove the pastic from the aluminium sign blanks. We installed those signs and they peeled off, in feild. Embarrasing to say the least.
Lol, givr a shot and see how challenging/mesmerizing and robust this work can be. So easy to melt metal together and make it look like pigeon poop. To make it look good and be strong is more complicated then I could ever imagine. From all the different welding processes to all the different metals and alloys to body positions... It's a worthy subject. But the nuances may not be your cup of tea. This dude has great content imo just found him today.
I see on all the YT vids, very nice dimes but welding on super thick aluminium... but none of them are brave enough to show us thin aluminium welding, say 1mm, which is what we use for fuel tanks. C'mon guys, lets show us how you tackle a small fuel tank with thin aluminium!
With all due respect, Everlast makes low quality welders. Search Everlast vs HTP. It exposes the low quality, antiquated ICB's they use, among other things. I really like this channel and Dusty, but it needs to be said.
I’ve had mine for, at least, 6 years now and it’s been great. I ALSO OWN a Miller Dynasty 350 and its an amazing machine. I purchased the everlast 325 EXT for my home shop and, YES, its not the same as the Miller unit, but it works really really well. AND… its about 1/3 the cost of a new miller Dynasty.
@@kellycoe1787 I’ve had 0 issues out of it and I could not justify paying 5-7k for a welding machine that does the same thing as the everlast. Actually one thing I like more about the everlasting is it has a low amp start you can set up saves me a ton of time welding aluminum. That initial blast from a normal foot petal start kills my tungsten after about 20 starts

Your “how did I go from rig welding like this” welding is what I am aiming for! 😂
Thanks!
Aaagggh! White hot tungsten at 9:14! Really though, I'm just happy I instantly see this and know it's not good.
So for inside 90's not propped up at a 45, do you just touch the filler rod a bit higher on the vertical side of the joint to keep the puddles even?
Thank you Dusty and welcome back. This was a great and informative episode. I enjoyed it.
Mark
what happened to him?
Thanks for the angle work
Thanks Dusty
Hello, great 2 see you again ;) greetings from Austria 👋
griaß di fellow österreicher
2:50 Ive done that....placed the plate down on the bench after i opened a bag and placed the plate on it..ooppsss....lol
Great job, welcome back 🎉 👏

Excellent video, thank you. If you didn't make a mistake or two you wouldn't be human. Thank you again for your time, knowledge and videos.
simply awesome video I got work to do to get through this one... Thank you .
Great Video !! 🤗

ND Filters and camera settings
Super
Merci Dusty
Where on the left coast are you getting Everlast welders from!?
Thanks mate for tips!
Great instruction Dusty. What was your material thickness you use in this video? If you mentioned it I totally missed it. Thx!
Thank you ! Great tips as always. Where were you for 3 months?
Vacation. he shared everything trough insta stories
I just purchased an inexpensive tig welder. If anything I do looks remotely like that first sample you showed us, I will be doing cartwheels - a hard job for a chunky 60 year old lmfao
Please tell me about your welding fixture table. Where did ya get one like that?
Not gonna lie i just got a machine havent tried yet waitn on a few packages in mail...but i would be excited if my first pass looks anything like that first 1 ..lmao
how come you dont sling you tig hoses over your shoulder ,wouldnt that keep your hand fromgetting tired or help with cramping in your hand
Great video, thanks!
What tungsten are you using in this vid?
What size and type filler rod are you using?
What is the thickness of your coupons 1/8”?
Thank you
What size filler are you using?
So what dia. cup, dia. filler rod and what mat. thickness?
Have you tried Kemppi mastertig, its so professional that it cost over 5500
I would like to see it when you do something thinner like .030 aluminum
And stainless🙏🏾
16ga sheet to .180 wall tube, aluminum.
Damn dusty you got skills no doubt. Thank you for being so positive too especially this day and age. Just purchased a prime weld 225 and starter aluminum tig 3 days ago. Def challenging. What thickness material is best to practice with at first?
I'd go with something around .060 and also .120, set at one amp per thou.
Thank you

Why no vertical?
Dammmm I would have been happy with the first "test" run...
What kinda machine you got there?
Do you always run on 6061 or do you ever weld on 5052 for practice since it is cheaper? Is it a lot different to weld 6061 than 5052?
So awesome!

You can not TIG weld on rusty or dirty material. TIG requires a clean surface.
My screen printer forgot to remove the pastic from the aluminium sign blanks. We installed those signs and they peeled off, in feild. Embarrasing to say the least.
Im still trying to figure out why there is so much welding content everywhere. Cool, you can melt metal together.

This dude has great content imo just found him today.
Because it's fun as hell? Do I need a reason? I appreciate you watching tho, I'm off to melt metal together now. Bye.
Tig welding copper, now that would be cool. Anyone???
W dia.?
So your secret to such rapid advancement was to have decades of experience already? lol

@@jklololol9691try increasing your tungsten size, taper off as much as you can and hrtz can also have a negative effect. I like 120hrtz
@@justindavid8747I no longer have the issue on the everlast.
This guy could be the best welder on earth and I still wouldn’t have him touch anything of mine.
Elaborate a little, why not?
Dude, I appreciate you and I have learned so much I just want to say thank you🙏🪙
Great Video !! 🤗
