How To Walk The Cup: Tig Welding Walking Vs Wiggling

If you are trying to master TIG welding, at some point you will want to learn how to walk the cup. Austin goes over different sized cups and how to walk or wiggle them on a fillet and open root weld to answer a question from a member in the weld app. He goes over how to set your tungsten stick out, using a "wiggle" when making your root and hot pass, and then shows how to walk the cup when getting to your fill and cap passes. If you have a question that you would like some help with drop it in the Weld App and you might just see it in an upcoming video.

Finally. Someone I like as much as Bob.

Nice job with explaining everything. Found this very helpful

[fuzznut]

Thank you for the in-depth walk the cup video. I can do it a little, but never that great. Anyone that has taught me never taught me to keep the pressure down and not forward that is a lot of help.

[juliusspartacus]

I'm on open root TIG in school right now so just wanted to say THANK YOU for your videos, they're fantastic man!!

[blueweld]

I dig all the videos Dr. weldz does. I find all the characters/
Personalities to be entertaining. Rad stuff dudes, KEEP CRUSHING IT!!!

[GhostMC]

90% of my job requires freehand can’t wait for your videos on freehand technique

[RobertAllen-jemp]

Well Done That Man! One minute it is in two bits then after carefully laying down depths of considerable skill it is done! It is whole! Pay the Man! Rob.

[anicekevorking]

I like your energy. I need it in my life.

[raulrubio]

Bro people be talking shit no need to listen to them. As far as I’m concerned you are being yourself in every single video because you can do whatever you want and you can change as much as you want and nobody can say otherwise. Keep up the good work

[ichban]

I thought the last video was educational and entertaining, pretty cool!

[maziarkarimi]

Many thanks for your help and advise mercy ❤

[traviswalker]

[haydenanderson]

I'd like to see a little more of that positioner you have fabbed up there!

[Turnup]

Great job brother I love the way you teach 👍

[martincontrereas]

Thank you for video! It taught me something new.

[robchesley]

Hey on that cap.. were you feeding rod at all or keeping it stationary an letting it consume it?

[robchesley]

What circumstances call for open root pipe blueprints to be done via gtaw ove smaw? Just curious..tig is gorgeous but is there a benefit to tig in a covered over root?

I actually prefer to free hand, just feel like i have more control and less variables to worry about like slipping on the piece. I tried walkin the cup on some T joints and they looked like ass.
