Have you ever had trouble Tig Welding a gap..? Well today I give myself the BIGGEST headache contending with the most absurd gap I could come up with... My apologies for the foul language in this one.... Spoiler alert...it did not go well....But I DID have a ton of fun, and I'm actually pretty happy that I pulled it off. So, I hope you can have a laugh with me, and don't take this one too seriously, as I said in the episode, I'm all about having fun and goofing around on this channel.
Check out my friend Max's RU-vid channel and show him some love!

Your “bad” welds look 1000 times better than my good welds.

I like your can do attitude. Keep up the good work.

@WaspLife Год назад

So I've watched a ton of AC TIG videos in preparation for trying it myself. Went and got comfortable, lined up, hit the pedal, and nearly jumped outta my skin XD. Y'all quiet down that buzz *significantly* lol

@williamr1499 4 дня назад

your videos and you specifically gave me the confidence to set up a weld rig from scratch. Never even stick welded now I have a 225 prime weld, Cart and cart and harbor freight table setup Thank you

@ralphjackson6309 2 года назад

I fill up gaps similar if not worse to that at work every night with spray mig and it give me a little bit of comfort knowing someone as experienced as you still struggles with filling insane gaps. Thanks for the pointers!

@robbieD85 2 года назад

@robertdebusk6157 3 года назад

You got it done and didn't have a melt down, which if you did not have very good heat control, would have been a big problem. My hat is off to you for the nice display of expert heat control. Take Care and Stay Safe. Bob

Run a qiuck bead down both sides with smaller dia wire,make the gap smaller. Been welding,coded 40+ years. Hope that helps.

@Just1GuyMetalworks 3 года назад

That was pretty impressive 👍😁👍. If you absolutely have to fill a gap in that fashion then "looks" aren't really a prerequisite to get the job done anyways 😊. Thanks for sharing man! Well done! Cheers

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

HHa Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out!

@nickarcher8617 3 года назад

As a fitter that is also my own welder i can tell you. When i tack something up with any gap what so ever its because the blue print was wrong. And i had to leave the gap to make sure the end result is the right size. I also enjoy the challenge of welding up a gap so it's fine.

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

💪💪💪

@williamclarkson1698 4 месяца назад

That 0.437 gap weld in aluminum was good. Most experienced welders would have had just as bad results with 7/16 gap. In reality you would never come across this when building anything.

@melgross 3 года назад

Other than for the impurities coming out, it’s really fine for the gap, I’ve seen, and done worse. I’m wondering whether the impurities are just on the surface. If so, a little sanding and maybe only polishing will get rid of it. It won’t affect the weld quality.

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

All good:) Was fun to give it a whirl. Tough not to have impurities and stuff happening I guess for such a big gap. Looks like I’m getting the grinder out!😂🍻

@DonkeyFries 3 года назад

We had to regularly fill gaps like that when I was making aluminum pontoons for a boat manufacturer. Just gotta weave it in there and maybe make a second pass with little to no filler just to tidy it up aesthetically from time to time

@haydenfoster5903 3 года назад

Unfortunately I get some gap like that quite often at my work(mostly stainless). Copper, aluminum and ceramic backing are a must have.

@PilotMcbride 3 года назад

Good stuff mate. Would’ve like to have seen the fat weld sectioned for a quick look the cross section and internal surface. Also, I have a PHd in bad welds, and I’m sorry to say, your welds definitely don’t make the cut, 🤣🤣🤣. Or maybe in the “Late Friday Afternoon Rush” category..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for your posts, they are enjoyable to watch.

Idk about aluminum but with carbon and stainless I'll take 3 or 4 rods and hold em so they lay flat and jus use lay wire technique and walk the cup. Actually lays down pretty good

@russellmclaughlin8526 3 года назад

I have had luck wire brushing a weld like that and then running back over it at about 40 Hz with just a little more filler to get some freeze lines back into it. Pedal pulsing can give slight freeze lines, but not really enough to make it look "good".

@ces7515 3 года назад

Your wide gap weld looks better than my no gap welds 😂

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

😂🙏

@rj3_golf 3 года назад

First off awesome job! That’s a sick challenge, I’ll have to try that myself. It would have been cool to see what the underpart of the weld looked like on each pass! Also, what if you were to pulse the large gap and use a thicker filler rod? Do you think your weave would have turned out nicer?

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

Hmmmmm maybe a bittttt...? It’s tough. The arc jumps everywhere due to not being directly aimed at a surface, maybe next time!

@DCweldingAndArt 3 года назад

Absolutely love the "failure music" and the explicit "raw dogging" going on in this one btw! And tell Max's ass! Yea! He NEEDS to make another vid anyway. Been awhile. Hey bud, take care, be blessed

@timothyrouse2853 3 года назад

@gerardoalbertochilisoescob174 3 года назад

Love your videos. 👍👍👍👍

@coreyjohnson2048 Год назад

If you had to do this again, would you have a different approach on the larger gap? Also is there a better way to clean the bigger gap of contaminants? I don’t have access to anything for backpurge but I’m working with 10ga 3x1-1/2 aluminum tubing and those gaps can be tricky

@jameshartt3113 2 года назад

Dis the outward appearance all ya want. My curiosity is what did it look like underneath/inside?

@ericprobinson Год назад

I wonder if you could weld one edge then let it cool then do the other edge, let it cool again then weld the two welds together with a third pass.

@michaelcostello6991 3 года назад

Interesting video. Suggestion. Can you put the material thickness on the screen or in the description. Also can you display the actual foot pedal amps on screen. This will be useful for us beginners that might want to record these values before trying to weld similar material. I know you displayed amps on previous video which was great. Thanks Mike

@bonovoxel7527 6 месяцев назад

Dusty, I know you're on break now tho, I cant get how you shape the tungsten in that way with the lil ball on the point.

@ItzF8aL 5 месяцев назад

Turn balance way up on ur machine then strike arc on a pc of scrap. Once you get a ball turn balance back down and weld on bro.

@bonovoxel7527 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I had wondered it was something like that. I'm lacking experience in pulsed current and tuning of the duration parameters tho, but now I have an Idea on how to try crossing that bridge, when I'll be there. @@ItzF8aL
