TIG welding is widely regarded as one of the most difficult processes for a new welder to learn. This is why we have decided to bring you closer to our expert Mr Tig. Not only will we feature Mr Tig video on our website, if you subscribe to our YouTube channel, you will also be notified for new tutorials and comments/suggestions from your fellow friends in the industry. Let’s join this community where we can all benefit from each other’s knowledge and experience in welding.

Perhaps one reason is because there are so many different setups/ accessories that you can have for different applications. Weld.com and Mr. TIG have set out to create a series of videos strictly for teaching you how to choose the best torch setup for your needs.

In Part one of the series on Torches (which can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV_JyqnEM54), Mr. TIG gives you welding tips specifically for welding under 200 amps. At :50 Mr. TIG mentions a 9F torch, which stands for 9 Flex. He goes on to explain that this torch has a flexible neck and is good for about 95% of the applications that a welder would use on a daily basis. ...
... At 1:05 he shows you a gas lens setup with a 1/16 tungsten and explains why this is important, as well as how you can adapt your 9F with many different cups.

You can purchase all the equipment used in this article directly from Mr. TIG at www.tigdepot.com. Be sure to check out Weld.com to get more great TIG welding tips from Mr. TIG.

What’s more, we are currently working on expanding our website. You will soon see a complete Weekend Warrior section where you can join, mingle, learn and know everything you need.
