AVOID these mistakes! 3 Tig Welding Tips!

There's a few things as of late I've been seeing some students getting tripped up on. Despite all of the hard work and persistance someone has to work at something, frustration can happen. And sometimes it's all just as simple as making a few quick adjustments to something like technique, and they're off to the races again.

So check out these 3 things that I have helped some people with lately, and have helped to get them back on track and ripping!

Dusty, you’re a class act man, you’ve definitely been a huge help man.

Dusty, your videos and art are really awesome man! Your tips have helped me a lot on steel and aluminum and it's easy to watch the videos with your positive attitude and presentation skills. Keep it up dude you are helping a lot of people learn a really cool skill! Thanks.

Those stinkin' walls are all over the place!. I've been attempting too many techniques. TIG gives me the best and worst results. Thanks to you I have some tricks to get me back to the table.

😌 another just chilled, but still highly informative video. Well done Dusty!

[moonshadowdrifting]

Had not even considered checking the cup for contamination! Extremely useful tips - I tend to just dive in and burn holes!

Great video, I've been practicing with tig just this week and the videos you have has really been helpful! Thanks!

Man I´ve been watching your chanel for couple of weeks and I must say that it really helps me to do better TIG welds. At the beginning of the year I start welding stainless steel and it was for me pain in the ass. (literally I cried sometimes at the beginning). Now I got better quality, nice clean gold welds, also better positioning with hand and make my boss happier :D :D :D :D I really thank you and I also follow you on Instagram and I´m really happy to see more of your videos in the future.
Your fan from SLOVAKIA :D

Thanks for some simple but powerful advice.

Cleaning the screen helped me a lot. Once again thank You for providing life changing tips on welding. Take care :)

[mrsargentful]

Thanks Dusty! You da man! I think that filler hand tip is a good one. I'm always trying to move that hand along with my torch hand but if I just put it at the end of the weld I won't need to think too much about that.

[Thewatson]

So true. It’s a royal PITA to have to stop and clean everything up but if you don’t do it, it will have you frustrated as hell

[kaywhy]

I definitely struggle with bad sight lines. Will try and set up for the end of the weld now, thanks for the tip Dusty!

Your videos are great, just started TIG :)

99% of my work is with 1 inch tube for boat rails. This is how I started and probably why it takes so long to get a decent result. I'll try running beads on flat plate and see if that helps. Been at it for about five years now!!!

[adtwomey]

Thanks man your videos looks good to learn from. May think of one of your online courses.

[hexinli]

Nice work! Always try to be kind to all. I appreciate your message every time :) TIG on :)

[willieyanez]

Great info yet again, my machine is still in the box, just need an argon tank and hood

[dirtywelder]

First coffee then fill n chill..thats gotta be a tshirt..

[FrancisoDoncona]

Simple question, they always talk about grinding a point on the tungsten but always refer to having a ball on the end when welding aluminum, so does the sharp tip melt into a ball? Where does the ball come from? A less sharp tip, if it melts into a needed ball, would not a blunt point tip get you there faster? So explain this sharpened vs ball tip vs arc shape?

[lordreginaldfilibuster]

taking forever getting things and knowledge together before attempting to TIG, so dumb question here, is the Lens the piece the cup holds onto and the diffuser screen goes into or are you calling the screen the Lens?
