Greetings,

I've got a nice TIG machine, and everything I need to start using it.
I've been through the Miller CD of TIG basics, so I'm fairly familiar
with the process, and all the variables. What I really need now is a
video, that shows someone actually welding various bits of aluminum,
and 4130. I've played with both of these, and can manage to stick
scrap pieces together, but I really need to be able to see someone do
it with the proper technique. Can anyone recommend a TIG welding video,
that shows someone actually welding aluminum and 4130?


If you have experience with oxy-acetylene welding, the best thing you
can do is just get out and use the machine for a few hours. If you
don't have previous oxy-acetylene experience, you should probably get
some before trying your hand at the TIG. The video which came with my
Lincoln SWT175 showed welding of steel and aluminum. This past summer I
taught myself to weld aluminum with the machine and I found it to be
less of a challenge than I had been led to believe over the years.
There is just no substitute for practice.
