Tig welding

(New Zealand )
Hi there I just got a tig welder. Trying to weld mild steel, stainless, aluminum the torch just blows the arc every where I can't seem to weld at all with the torch playing up. I have seen some off ur videos on you tube you make it seem so easy.
Thanks

Sounds like you may have too much shielding gas flowing.
some flowmeter/regulators are preset for secondary pressure and its too high.
if you notice a blast of argon when you start, try letting the gas flow for a few seconds to where it settles down... and then strike the arc.
too much argon flow can make the arc jump all over.
