how about using how much filler to cool the puddle, I kinda use speed and how much filler to add 0n aluminum. if it gets a little hot

Justins hair cut looks like the bad guy on The Fifth Element! 😂

Thanks Justin love the no bs answers and just straight to the point here it is 2:00 am and makes me want to go back out to weld some more hope the like and comment helps you on RUclips 👍

not knocking jody but youre the best guy explaining welding and showing results. thanks

What if you don't have foot pedal and it looks wrong? Do you stop and adjust amperage and start again?

Like on the sewing machine?

What are your thoughts on Lift start TIG / button style? As a Canadian hobbyist most machines that are in the price range I look at don't always offer HF starts. Basically a glorified buzz box.

Hmm. Why is a pedal in stick welding not a thing :D Heh, gotta try and see if my machine accepts pedal input in stick mode. Well, first i need a pedal. Just the other day i had a situation like that. Bad fitup. Root gap between zero and 1/16". Good 120 A on 7018 make a nice weld on zero and almost blow through on 1/16". Pedal would fix that.

A current clamp an a datalogger time synched to the video would probably provide interesting information (probably display as a bar graph on the side of the arc video)

you are the best i love how you explain

Love it

SOOOOOOOO,,,, NOW THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN

Aftermarket pedals to upgrade your setup.

fantastic for beginners. Thank you.

you baking a cake with your hands bro...

👍

tell us more man... who said pedal vids arent cool? feed our subconscious, show us a split screen of the pedal/weld, start/stop, thick/thin etc etc

Thank you!

Excellent... as usual.

The only important question here: why you car has 4 pedals? 😂

Great points and video. Sharing with 14 y.o. son working on learning both. Thank you!

Lol, I can remember when I first started tig welding in highschool about 35 years ago and my biggest problem was when things started to go wrong I'd panic and the pedal would go to the floor and I'd pull the torch away and make one helluva light show. This took a while to overcome.😅

Holy crap, if anyone has seen Adam Savage's (from Mythbusters) youtube channel, his mannerisms, hand motions, and just general speaking style is IDENTICAL to Justin's here. Like, they could absolutely be twins.

👍😎👍

i learned on a scratch start, so now i have peddle under my foot ,the first time i come to the edge of a part it burn away ,so i started again and the same thing happen ,i told myself i have a pedal for that ,so i started again this time i started i introduced the pedal to my brain by pumping the pedal when i got to the end my eyes said it's going to burn off my foot said no it's not it took control and didn't burn, it took one time to make that connection that was 30 years ago, try it may help

Must be a motorcycle guy

Yep and I still remember 40 something years later being told to stop looking at your feet, but it had to be done. And when I taught myself to double shuffle as we call it or D clutch. The ears got a real workout too. In saying that you should check out the Audi quattro WRC works team video, an interesting foot control clip. Thanks Justin more please

TIG is my preferred method of welding, but I HATE the foot pedal, i have always had a torch mounted control. I made a torch mounted thumbwheel controller for my new machine by mounting a 5K potentiometer to the torch and wiring it to a replacement foot pedal plug. No way I was going to pay over $150 for a thumbwheel amp control when it is made of $10 in parts.

I'm not a shoe guy, but where can I get the shoes?

Super helpful video, thinking of the puddle step by step like that really helped me frame what I should be doing better.

perfect, love how you make it SIMPLE, No Bullshit just the straight goods. Now go practice your face off and you'll master it in an hour,at least I will Thanks Justin .

Kind of reminds me of a lesson taught in the MSF Basic course. On a motorcycle your safety is that clutch lever. The bike can be bouncing off the limiter but it's harmless so long as you don't release the clutch and yeet yourself into Low Earth Orbit.

Agreed to a certain extent. In order for my daughter to learn how to drive, I had to tell her how much brake or throttle I am inputting. That gave her a basis on how much of to use as she was first learning. I applied that same knowledge to my wife when I taught her how to drive a manual. Many are visual learners.

My feet don't work. Can I use this with my elbow?

I like the lifter.

The thumbs down is still interaction which still boosts you video. And now that the thumbs down is hidden, it really doesn't matter if they hit it. But if the really hate the video, they should smash that thumbs down twice 😊

Two tips from someone learning to weld, one important and one kinda silly... 1. Don't underestimate the importance of a comfortable work space. You can't accurately control the foot pedal if your legs are dangling from a barstool and the pedal is crowded up next to a cabinet. Don't ask me how I know. 2. Don't forget to turn on the argon. Don't ask me how I know. Bonus tip 2.5 AC not all that handy on steel, especially with no argon.

But you also need a decent pedal, not that cheapo one that came with the early Primeweld machines.

TY, WC

Instructions unclear, heel-toed my TIG torch and now the bead looks like the lyrics to the Tokyo Drift theme.

How can you weld in short sleeves without getting sun burnt?

I think what the actual question was, how do you position it, do you have a better pedal choice. My issues with the pedal is that I can't seem to balance my foot on it properly to create that proper smooth rocking motion you show that allows for non thinking about my foot when welding.

Car analogy was great. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Do not weld, but I like information about things, just to know stuff. Is tig welding like driving a standard transmission car or auto? A video about things you said in the video would be great. Like go full petal and using speed to control the weld. Or using the petal to control the weld, in this video talking about weather you are using more or less petal an not showing, so we get an idea about what is happening. Was always wondering if the part you are welding is to thick for the power of your welder and you have access to both sides of the weld can you make a good strong weld by welding if for both sides of the part? ex your welder can weld max .150 but your part is .290, would welding that from both sides make a proper weld?

did you just ensure likes by convincing us to like ya vid so RUclips shows us more if them? advertisement wizard

I started doing the car analogy a year or two ago and it made things a million times easier to process.

I was wondering if you have any tips for using the foot pedal in out of normal position situations. Like welding underneath or inside of a vehicle. I’ve been wanting to get a TIG button to help with this but I can’t afford it at the moment. Great video and I appreciate all the advice.

Yep like driving. Come to stop sign tale foot off gas. Obstruction in the road take foot off gas. Actual only difference is the brake is automatic.🙂 Analogizes aren't they great

thanks for the explanation and how to set the amps for the size of material, keep them comming :)
