AWESOME explaination. I'm looking at buying an Everlast Tig machine and this is the first time I've come across the 2T/4T settings and was trying to figure out what exactly that meant. Some of the stuff I've read didn't entirely make sense, but this video explained it very well and now it's something I would like to play with and maybe be able to change up for certain operations. Thanks.
Super clear explanations of what the T modes are and how the machine settings correlate iin. Can you do a follow-up that goes into situations in which you would want to use the modes and settings to most advantage?
Thanks for the well done explanation on 2t/4t.Just acquired an Alpha TIG-201XD. Learning curve is a bit steep. Did a bit or tig in high school (1967) . Haven’t had enough time under the hood to be very good yet but it’s improving thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work and I will keep lookin in.
Thanks Justin for doing a visual explanation of this process. I have never had the 2T and 4T option on a welder until I bought my 3 in 1 Everlast which I love.
4t seems very good for non auto darkening helmets basically your strait glass eye protecting can see this function very useful to find your work which is why I hate using strait glass, how ever with this function I don't really see a need for auto darkening of cores just bought a 180 helmet soooo little late!! :( I have years of stick welding so tig is the new adventure so thank you learning a lot
Great video. I am still a beginner so i can see this feature is not going to be important to have and now i know. This is an extra on machines for people that are really experienced at a high level welding wise.
Some behave differently on 4T, once on the finish amps a flick of the trigger will set them back into upslope, so you can (slowly) pulse the current or back off e.g. when the work's getting too hot - useful feature.
AHA! a revelation, and very nice to know thanks. When and if I ever upgrade this will help in the decision I make on the machine I buy, but not much use on my £40 home built scratch start rig I currently use as I get a handle on Tig welding : ) again many thanks
I've really enjoyed your videos...they're excellent! I do have a question for you however: I have a Miller Synchro-wave 200 which is a transformer type , whereas most of your settings and recommendations (Tungsten color for example) are for inverter type machines. Do you have any videos for those, possibly Series 1-2, and if so, how can I watch them?
with 4t, can I have high amps for t1, and then lower amps for t2 as to break through the aluminum film on t1 and then have a smaller amount of heat to advance my puddle? thanks...I have a prime weld tig welder.
Hi I just bought a machine called mst 185 by boss weld the Tigers Torch has yellow button on the handle ..... Could you tell me the function of that. Button please
Anyone one here use the vevor brand DC Tig with 2t 4t it only has one amp setting tho and a USB in place of where the next model has a dial to adjust makes me wonder if it's there a way to just wire a dial to it and it would do that idk buy it's a vevor 220 Tig dc and the next model is the same but has dual amps and pulse control
How do we actually use 2T and 4T to weld? i.e. during welding, what condition do we need to trigger the down slope and then what condition do we want to get back to the up slope?
Thanks for the vids and info. I am starting to get into welding soon and find your videos extremely informative. Does it come down to personal preference between 2t and 4t? I find that the 4t has extra steps to it.
something that's been on my mind: is it a good or bad idea to learn to use the trigger and associated modes vs the foot pedal? . (I'm leaning towards the trigger)
