TIG Torches - Water Cooled Tig Torch vs Air Cooled

In the market for a TIG Torch? maybe this video will help you decide which one is for you. There are all kinds of TIG torches available so in this video, I show a bunch of them. Air Cooled #9 tig torch, #17, and #26 Air cooled torches also. Along with the popular #20 style water cooled tig torch

This is hands down the best, clearest, and comprehensive instructional video on TIG torches out there. Outstanding

This is the best welding channel. So little advertisment although he has a store. And for once someone who is actually a beast in welding, not just welding shopowner!

Thank you Weld Master Joda... Tig, Stick, Mig, Blow torch. This Kat does it all !!!

[michaelivey]

This guy is a legendary weldor! I love the information and instruction that he gives. Fantastic stuff!

Just picked up a Everlast PowerTig 200DX as my first TIG welder. Your information was timely as this unit has a plug for a water cooler, it came from the factory with an air cooled torch. I'll upgrade as my skill set improves.

So far I've done TIG brazing of dissimilar metal, some 4140, and mild steel work with it. I have to give you much of the credit for what I've learned about TIG. Thanks Jody.

Plz carry CK Worldwide's 17 aircooled version of the flexloc!! By the way I purchased a tig finger from you about 6 months ago specifically for the weld test they give where I work now... It, in my mind/opinion, is a must have for a welder in their toolboxes! The test the give is I believe the same as the UA-31b maybe... It's a 6G 3 inch schedule 40 aluminum pipe/tubing with a consumable insert and the 3 different supervisors stand there with u and watch you lay down every single pass...They couldn't believe how steady my hands were, how uniform/even and nice looking my beads were because all they've seen is ppl freehanding it and fail quite often, but I owe it to you for putting out an awesome product that can help ppl such as myself improve their skill and to help attain great paying jobs!! And when it comes down to test time it's time to show them what you've got and ur is a big part of where my skill level is today!! Thanks from Tennessee!!

May I you commend you for providing a very professional lecture and detailed demonstration on TIG torch welding techniques. I'm a retired old time welder and structural engineering technician, having started back in the mid 60's. These welding videos bring back memories of having completed jobs that left one with a feeling of satisfaction, having accomplished something of value with one's own hands and skills.

You are so great. All of your videos help me dive deeper and deeper into understanding welding. I am a pipe welder at Electric Boat, just started in February. I have come a long way in my technique as well as knowledge of welding from your videos. With such intensive procedures and quality necessary at my work, I need your kind of detailed information and knowledge to get a better understanding of the art. You hit important components of tig welding that are simply not taught in school, and you help give me advice and understanding to build enough confidence to challenge myself and step up and try new pieces, metals, joints, despite the risk of getting a bad record for rejected pieces by melthrough, lack of penetration, etc. You are very knowledgeable and I look up to you as a guide to strive to be the best welder I can be. Thank you!

very passionate man when it comes to welding, really appreciate your videos Jodey, Welder in training here, just got on 2G TIG last night, going to try an test out combo as soon as i can weld stainless, down here on the gulf coast in the refineries/chemical plants, keep the videos coming thanks

I have a bic lighter that won't weld much. But it was an upgrade from the old matches.
Sir, you helped me understand so much it makes me want to learn more about this "welding ".thank you!
I am a wood worker.

What amazes me most about your welds is the amazing consistency of the final product. I like to think my welds are almost as strong, but even with bracing and practice I rarely get such a consistent bead.

[targetcebu]

Thanks Jody. Knowing the correct TIG torch to use has always kind of baffled me. To me your experience parallels my welding history. Weld school (Tulsa), boilermakers, pipe-fitters, then aircraft 
industry. Now that I'm retired I can upgrade my "weldshop" and just have fun. Your website and vids are fantastic, thanks for all the hard work you put into it.

Man oh man, your welding skills just blow me away! Those welds looked like they were done by a computerized machine only better...I guess that comes with lots of practice. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

In previous videos I watched you use a CK #9 flex head and a CK#20 (water cooled) swivel head - got so impressed I purchased 2 of them for my welders (I sold the Miller 180 Sycro and the Miller 200 Synco and replaced them with a full bundle 200DX including wireless foot control) I have also use the CK #9 for setup and tweaking and then when getting down to just pushing weld I use the CK #20 and will weld at 120/160 amps till my fingers melt (even with a tig finger - takes a long time).  The welders I sold went with a miller cooler and the swivel head torches - I have stayed in touch with the people that purchased the ones I sold and they just love the torches and your recommendations and both of them have subscribed to you.
Also gave the each 2 tig fingers to make sure they can do a great job
Can't get better than that
thx

You are very good explaining everything. I don’t get board watching your videos and I can understand more because you explain things more thoroughly . Thank you.

[robtennant]

All thumbs up!!! Always learn and smile a lot while watching Jody. Quick and gets to the point. A wealth of great advice, tips and context for whatever you're welding

[kris]

One of your five best all time videos!  Very comprehensive and very concise.  You answered every question I had and then some.

Good video.  I have been Tig welding since 1979 but always learn something. I mostly weld 4130 aircraft weldments. My favorite torch is the water cooled weldcraft 20. I got over 20 years out of a Linde HW 20, I consider that pretty good since I used house water for about ten of those years. Current machine is a Miller syncrowave 351 but I really want a Dynasty 200 dx after trying one at a trade show. Thanks for the great videos. Kevin

[luissalguero]

I purchased a miller cc st 280 and a Lincoln 210 Mp I like the way you share your knowledge to people like me I can't afford school thank you very much from Guatemala I'm planing to teach to extremely poor people engish and welding
