Tungsten Grinders are very nice to have and make sense for some applications …but definitely not 100% necessary for beginners.

So here are some best practices for tungsten sharpening to avoid problems like splitting and rough arc starts

* always score the electrode first before breaking

* Use a dedicated rock or sanding disc that is not contaminated with other metals

* Make sure all your grinding scratches are running with the length and not sideways

* Use a fine enough grit stone or disc to not leave rough scratches

* Use a more needle like tip for low amps and thin metal

* Use a more blunt tip for higher amps and thicker metal

I started using clear cups strictly for filming welding videos.

But I learned quickly that not only to they help in filming, they really help me see better

Which Tig Torch Should you buy? Ok , lets say you just recently ordered a tig welding machine. Now you need to decide what kind of tig torch to get...and you might even need to get more than one. There are so many choices out there

The easiest and quickest way to identify your tig torch is to take a quick look at the collet and collet body. If your Collet body is almost 2 inches long, then you have a 17,18,26 style tig torch. ..

My CK mt200 ac dc tig welder has been bulletproof for going on 6 years and I have seen very few issues over the last few years of selling them.

Without exception, CK has taken care of every issue to make sure the customer is happy. CK is a top notch company.

 

Even though I have tig welding machines with water cooled torches, I still use an air cooled tig torch quite a bit.
