Also, in addition to the forum, have you checked out Jody's website Welding Tips and Tricks? There is also another site worth browsing, it is Go Welding

CK Worldwide - Technical Specifications for Tig Welding

Diamond Ground Products - Tungsten Guidebook - Guidebook for the Proper Selection and Preparation of Tungsten Electrodes for Arc Welding

ESAB - ESAB University - Arc Welding Technology Course
Big D & Dynasty, Thanks for the links! I have watched a ton of Jody's videos and have learned a ton from him! I was looking for a reference that I could go to quick while out in the shop. I am also keeping my own notes as far as settings and how they worked out...good or bad.

It's going to be a long ride learning, but I am looking forward to it.

These are all good.
Miller used to have a great 12 chapter free TIG welding book online that they removed a while back and per a Miller employee on their forum they replaced it with a $50 and now reduced to $29 paid book. Fortunately I saved all 12 sections of it and just combined it into a single PDF file for your viewing pleasure and can be downloaded from my Drive .<br />
