Welding Tips and Tricks

Hi folks! I'm new in the forum, obviously.

I've been a hobbyist machinist and welder since I was in high school many, many years ago. My home shop has a few welding machines, a 7"x14" lathe, and table-top milling machine, plus various other related machines and tooling. I have welded DC stick, oxy-gas, and MIG for most of my life. I'm just now getting into TIG since I bought a PrimeWeld 225X. I've been trying to practice at least one hour per night, starting with carbon steel, then SS, and more recently aluminum. So far, so good!

Hoping to share what I know and to learn from everyone else.

Have a great day!
