Re: Welding Advice

TIG does a great job on aluminum but it takes skill and skill takes practice- lots of practice. I took a 20 hour TIG class where we spent almost every hour welding. Now I can weld 0.125 inch aluminum fairly consistently, 0.090 is questionable and 0.062 is out of the question. Perhaps some students will quickly master the skill of simultaniously controling the torch, the filler rod and the power pedal but that's a lot to expect.
