Hey guys, Have you ever heard some strange myths about welding? My story comes from my shop 2day. I practice Tig and Mig everyday, and today while clocking out, a young man who claims to be a (master welder) at 22 yrs old. LOL! No offense to those who might be. Anyway, he noticed I was wearing my watch and asked me if I wore it while Tig welding, I told him I did and he told me that the Tig omits an (Ultra High Frequency) that will destroy the hand movements in a watch. I've been wearing my watch while being a welder for 7yrs now, and this is the first I've ever heard of such a thing. My watch happens to be a SEIKO-5, a 300.00 US dollar watch, and it is one of those self running watches guaranteed for life. He said "Ok, you'll see". I personally think this myth to be a load of rubbish! Ever heard of such a thing? Speak all of your welding Fact or fiction, folklore, and urban legends here! LOL! ....axe
