As a rookie welder I am always amazed when I see welds like that.If anyone can answer this I would appreciate it.HOW do you get such wide weld beads?I am assuming a large tungsten and high amps while moving very quickly otherwise it seems you would get way too much heat in the part,any input would be appreciated.Mike

Here are two videos showing a weaved tig weld:

Half way thru this video the welder does a second pass weaving the torch

Awesome video. The second one was cool. I would have had 100 starts and stops on that flange

Wow those are very nice hopefully I get that good one day. TIG takes some time to get that steady hand.

Thanks for the videos,I have been practicing the weave bead and I can see the concept.On the first video it appeared that the welder had the filler rod just laying in the path of the torch and was not doing any dipping at all,Am I seeing that correctely? If so it seems like a good idea.Mike

Here,s a couple of pics of some tig work we did on the roof last year.About the best i could get under theses conditions passed inspection so must have been acceptable for water tight.

Aww lets have some more positive speaking and thinking than that.

I think he's saying he's positive we won't get that good.

The video that shows the stainless flange being tigged I did not notice if he had a hand control or a foot pedal. It seams like the foot pedal would have been a hassle walking around in a circle..
