New products being added weekly.All Orders thru the end of April will get a FREE Mystery 3 pack of Tungsten. We have Ceriated, 2% Lanthanated, and Multi-Mix in sizes 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 up for grabs. I will be hand picking each one for every order, so no need to add the freebie to cart. Thanks again for all your support. Second, We're throwing in a FREE Stronghand Tools TIG Torch rest for $0 when you buy one of our TIG PRO kits. Any of the 4 kits below will come with your choice between the Mrt50 (table edge) rest or the Mrt100 (table top) Rest.Make sure to select the one you want on the product page. Back to the the welding...The challenge with a 1/4” aluminum single pass lap joint is getting penetration into the root of the joint...while at the same time, not chopping up the edge.It can be difficult to hit the root while not chewing up the corner.So I tested a single pass weld along side a 2 pass weld to check for depth of penetration.I set the Primeweld TIG325 to 250 amps so that I would have extra power at first when the aluminum was cold.AC frequency was set to 150HZ to focus the arc.I used 3/32" 2% lanthanated tungsten and a #5 clear cup for the first welds.I noticed some oxides floating around in the puddle with the #5 cup so I switched to a #6 gas lens cup for the 2 pass weld.I use clear cups a lot for filming but I think a pink ceramic #6 gas lens cup is a good cup for a whole lot of aluminum jobs.Penetration to the root was not that great on the single pass welds.So I decided to try welding 2 passes....one focussing on penetration...and a second pass to get the adequate weld size.A cut and etch test revealed much better penetration in the root of the 2 pass weld.But because I didn't clean the aluminum at all before welding, there was a large pore.That in itself is a lesson. I should have taken a few minutes to wipe the aluminum with acetone and wire brush with a clean stainless brush.Thanks again for taking the time to read this and show support. I have a collection of products under $50 down below. Remember, All order get a Free pack of tungsten until the end of April, so be sure to grab a TIG Finger or pair of gloves. 👇 👇👇Follow me on social media to see what I’m up to:Instagram: instagram.com/weldmongerFacebook: facebook.com/weldingtipsandtricksJoin the discussion with thousands of welders at the Welding Tips & Tricks forumhttp://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com

New products being added weekly.I am going to a trade show soon.I have wanted to get my TIG fingers into local welding supplies for a while now but didn’t really know how to go about doing that so I am hoping that attending a this trade show will give me some insights.So what I am doing in this video is making a prototype of a Point of purchase display for that show.My plan is to take this prototype into my local welding supply and get their feedback on it..Is it too big? Too small? Would they put this display on their counter? Etc. I would probably get some props like wood blocks for a job like this but since its a point of purchase display for TIG fingers, I will use a tig finger to prop for all the welds.Well after I finished this, I drove to my preferred local welding supply which is Holston gases. They were very helpful and gave me some constructive criticism as well as some contact info for their main buyer in Knoxville Tenn.One of the suggestions was to make it a bit smaller.So stay tuned for that video and I will keep you posted on my progress on getting my TIG fingers into local welding supply stores.Follow me on social media to see what I’m up to:Instagram: instagram.com/weldmongerFacebook: facebook.com/weldingtipsandtricksJoin the discussion with thousands of welders at the Welding Tips & Tricks forumhttp://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com

New products being added weekly.Workbook here weldmongerstore.com/collections/weldmonger-welding-workbooksThere are a few key times when I invested in myself that looking back, I can see clearly how they paid off big time.One of those times was deciding to buy my first tig welder.Back around 94, I remember that I had to swallow hard to spend 2500 dollars for a syncrowave 250. This was around 1994 so that was obvious choice or me because there just weren’t nearly as many options back then.I also had to get some wiring done in my garage because a 250 needs a 100 amp breaker.But I remember seeing of some of my friends were buying bass boats or motorcycles with their tax returns and I thought to myself…why am I hesitating on this welder? I know this machine is a better investment than a boat..and… it will make me money.I even took out a loan to buy it but I easily paid it off in just a few months doing side work.I didn’t know it at the time but deciding to buy that machine paved the way for a lot of big things down the road.Like a YouTube channel with over a million subs, an online welding supply store at weldmonger.com and a great life.Fast forward 30 years, If I were starting a side hustle today, I would probably start off with this welder.Dont be afraid to invest in yourself.weldmongerstore.com for TIG Welding machines, TIG cup Kits, TIG Fingers, Gloves, Tungsten, Filler metal, and other quality welding tools.

New products being added weekly.I got a comment from a student a few weeks ago who was having trouble with a multi pass, fillet TIG weld at his welding school.The conversation went like this.“Hey Jody. Any chance of doing a 2F 6-bead to joint on 1/4 steel with TIG? Kinda having trouble with that in school for some reason. Doing the lay wire technique and this joint just will not come out like it is supposed to. The root goes in fine, but subsequent passes are harder to get in for some reason”ME “I will put it on my list but you will probably be done before I could get it shot lol. But let me ask some details anyway...Is it a tee joint? stringers or weave? and are you required to do lay wire? Any particular size wire? If root goes in good, but subsequent passes go bad , it could be surface oxidation so a gas lens might help along with letting it cool between passes along with wire brushing every pass.”@connormarek1028 “Hi Jody. No worries. I`m sure it will take time to get videos out. I can answer your questions though.1) 2F T-joint on 1/4 carbon steel plate.2) stringers (but slight weave) and I`m required to do lay wire for some reason. Walking the cup is not allowed at all BTW. My instructor wants 6 beads. 3) 1/8 ER70S-6 filler rod. I`m welding @ 140amps on a Lincoln Aspect using Hi-freq start W/ a foot pedal. We also use gas lenses on our torches with #6 cups at ~30CFH. Maybe some surface oxidation, but only the "pretty colors" ;). “I am not sure why his instructor required lay wire technique, 140 amps, and a #6 cup at 30cfh but I would guess its because that would be fairly common for socket welds on 2 inch pipe.30 cfh seemed a bit high even for a #6 gas lens cup…but maybe not if there is a slight breeze or draft.I chose a #7 stubby gas lens and went a bit hotter while still using laywire and 1/8” ER70S6 wire.That brings me to this special deal I have going on.I found a bunch of standard stubby kits in my storage unit and while supplies last, you can get a free one when you order certain other kits.

Old Timer Said it....Must be True! weldingtipsandtricks 2023-08-20 | Visit my store at weldmongerstore.com for TIG cup Kits, TIG Fingers, Gloves, DVDs, and other quality welding tools. New products being added weekly.An old timer once told me that "overhead is just like flat except upside down"I think that is only partly true but I really struggled with overhead stick welding while I was in welding school.I thought I needed to weld it cold so that it wouldn't fall out.Once I learned to hold a tight arc, I could use the same amperage as I used on a 2F tee and things worked out better for me.I think realistically, bumping amperage down to about 120-125 for 7018 overhead works pretty well with less tendency for arc blow toward the end of each rod but I just wanted to show that both 2f and 4f tee joints could be welded at 130 amps with a 1/8" 7018.7018 electrodes from different companies all have slightly different amperage ranges too. Some run better at 135 , some run better at lower amps. Join the discussion with thousands of welders at the Welding Tips & Tricks forumhttp://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com
