Double Down on Your TIG Welding Skills | Two TIG Root Techniques!

Double Down on Your TIG Welding Skills! Learn two TIG root pass techniques that improve weld quality and control. This method involves holding the filler wire at the top and bottom of the bevel while feeding it into the weld pool as the torch moves along the joint. Mastering these techniques enhances consistency, penetration, and overall weld integrity. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, these TIG welding tips will take your root passes to the next level!

To perform these techniques, you will need to establish the proper arc length between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece. The filler wire should be held at a 10-degree angle to the joint and fed into the weld pool as the torch moves along the joint.

It is important to maintain a consistent travel speed and maintain proper torch angle and distance throughout the weld.
With practice and attention to detail, this technique can produce high-quality welds with excellent control and precision.

None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
My videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and welding positions.

When i saw the uniformity of the root (from the inside) i got chills 😎. Very high skills was shown on this video.

Also i love the part, where you share that is ok, to pull the torch back to reposition the wire feeding hand. When i do the same in front of the instructor or test, i always try to hide that so nobody could see me, cause i was thinking they might say it's wrong. Thanks for letting us know that was actually right 🙏.

Been watching this man videos for give or take 2 years. Taught me so much. I was at work and challenged myself during down time. Filled a .250 gap with an .062 wire. Freehand. I was impressed with myself & used a lot of this guys tips.

In every Video this guy Shows his amazing skills 👏👏👏

[mohammadabuhamed]

Incredible skills my brother! Thank you for sharing!

I can never go from bottom to top. I always get a horrible sag and way too much filler in my root. These are some good tips. I guess just need practicing.

[khalidabouhassan]

I just love the way how you hold the wire man! I’ve never seen anyone holding it like that, they all usually hold it the same way. Btw : to perform this, you really need to be skilled and experienced! Tnx man for another great one!

Thank you for the video and detailed explanation with great advice. You make it look so easy!

[gabrielaquino]

Muy buenos consejos gracias por explicar tan bien, y por traducir al español, sos un soldador genial, estoy aprendiendo mucho, . Desde Argentina te saludo,

[tonisiqueira]

Sim mestre observei que controle da amperagem na abertura da orisontal é também muito importante para que possa adicionar o material nas partes de cima e de baixo do bisel quando a abertura não está fora do padrão obrigado pela orientação 🙏 Bela apresentação

[Swizzlestik]

whats with the tiny craters on the root inside?

[braydonminue]

Where did you find that wedge with measurements marked on it? Looks like a great time saver when setting a gap or stick out.

[mddenis]

Maybe you could make a video about how to weld the pipe in 5g position so that it stays straight in level. I mean is it correct to weld in quarters or half and second half?

[groms]

My man wot is the best carbon pipe to practice on for root and fill and cap I have a 180 amp jasic inverter and wot is the best size of tungsten. I've watching your videos lately I think there really good and informative 👍

[michaelriccardi]

Hey man love the videos, I always make the bottom look good on 6 in sch 40 running 110 for root, I turn down to like 85-90 when coming past 3 o clock, but still get grapes (even with keyhole dip) on the top. Is it normal to have to turn it down that much? also I am free handing and keeping the tungsten straight, not so leaned over. Should I lean it back on the top?

[TheScottishCorsaBGuy]

do you ever have to pre heat or sweat out the material first? would your technique change much if the butt was 150° or 260° these are the 2 common pre heat’s i work with for rooting

[tomrox]

I think those gloves are a bit thick for tig

[bahadirgulec]

hello, thanks for videos, are you red seal as well ?
