I met a guy the other day in a welding supplies shop I was collecting some sanding discs etc.. a fellow customer starting chatting about Tig .. he was a full time welder with his own company. He was interested to hear how I’m fine with ms but hopeless on ss and aluminium .. He showed me pics of some of his work lots of fuel tanks and catering tables etc etc.. it was very impressive ..
He asked me to demonstrate with a pen as to how I Tig .. now this is when he blew me out of the water and went against all I’ve been taught ( grateful ) when he said no, don’t push the weld pool forward your torch should create the puddle and then move away slightly leaving you to dab rod into the pool behind the torch... Eg the complete opposite to everything I’ve ever been taught seen or read about. I asked him was this purely for a specific operation but no he said all the time!
don’t get me wrong I’m not doubting any of you guys etc far from it, I was instead thinking this guy is full of C**p or contamination..
Your thoughts... ?
