How to Weld

[Derrick]

I'm learning to TIG right now.

Our tool room has a big old Miller I've been practicing on. I've only ever MIG welded, but I'm finding it pretty easy. Of course our tool makers all have lots of experience to help me, but I've spent about three hours on it this week and I can make functional welds.

The main problem I'm having is regulating the heat with the foot pedal. I'm just not used to it and forget it's there.

the hardest thing for me when i started was heat control with the foot pedal

We dont even use a foot pedal on our tigs at work. Just has a high Frequency start and your off! Lol

My first issue was I wasn't pushing it down as far as I thought I was. I was like, how the hell do they weld dies with this crap lol.

Yeah, I thought I would have issues with feeding the wire, but I actually find that pretty easy.
