Short Welder Settings Videos that are much better than a weld calculator

I have used the Miller Weld Calculator quite a bit for when I need some quick MIG settings to get me in the ball park. 

Weld Calculators and MIG charts are OK for a starting point.

But weld calculators fall short when it comes to overhead, vertical, pipe welds, and any other weld that is not done flat on a workbench.

So I am making hundreds of short 30-45 second video pages that not only list detailed weld settings, but show a quick video of the weld.

Meanwhile, why not take the Free Trial at welderskills.com and see hundreds of other welding videos done by select instructors like, JD Brewer, Roy Crumrine, Brad Goodman, Sam Hagan, and others.

You will see Settings listed like this on each Welder Settings video page

WELD PROCESS = TIG, GTAW, GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING

METAL TYPE = ALUMINUM 6061

THICKNESS = 1/8"

WELD TYPE = FILLET WELD

JOINT TYPE = TEE

POSITION = 2F HORIZONTAL

AMPERAGE = MACHINE SET TO 140 CONTROLLED WITH FOOT PEDAL

TUNGSTEN = 2% LANTHANATED, 3/32"

FILLER WIRE = 3/32” 4943

POLARITY = AC

GAS FLOW = 15 CFH argon

CUP SIZE = 6

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS = AC BALANCE 30% CLEANING, AC FREQ 100HZ

PRE FLOW = 1 SEC

POST FLOW = 10 SEC

TIPS: KEEP A FAIRLY TIGHT ARC AND KEEP TORCH ANGLE TO A MINIMUM

Aim for an arc length that is equal or less than the diameter of your tungsten electrode.

Torch angle can be forgiving provided your arc length is tight.

Welder settings are not the only factor in making a good weld but they sure do help.

And when they have been proven out using cut and etch testing, you can be pretty darn sure they will work provided you clean your metal and use sound techniques.
