One additional disadvantage of the style of hose clamp used in the video is the small amount of metal, which can rust away and break. On boats, the best practice is to use double clamps (high quality stainless) and the type with the teeth not punched through. Thanks for sharing. I always learn something new from you. Cheers.

I like how you explained it seriously to the guy who asked someone on KZitem how to divide by two on a calculator 👍 Also, i agree on the 1 vs 2 points question. I sharpened two points on all my tungstens when i started out to try to save time. But in reality you just shift where you're wasting your time because you have to fiddle with the torch and grind tungstens with the collet still on and soforth...

When I was just starting out I sharpened both sides, but now I don't for the exact reason you said. I end up fussing too much with the tungsten to get it to slide in and out easily. Now I just add a small chamfer to one side just to make it slightly easier to slide in.

been TIG welding for 25 years, and I generally do grind tungsten at both ends, and if the diameter doesn't get bigger, I turn it around and use the other tip...if not, I grab another tungsten, and add it to the sharpening pile. I don't ever force it through the collet. I usually take a 10 pack, and turn it into 20x 3.5" sticks ground on both ends. 40 tips! admittedly, that is a bit wasteful because they are useless when they are 1" or less, but they last me a long time, so it's worth it to save time if you are getting paid well!

The other thing you've done by shoving that AL coated tungsten into the collet is get a bunch of contamination up in the works... That shit erodes off and ends up in the weld. I used to sharpen both ends a long time ago, but that was only for a quick change on a tungsten that was worn. If it touches anything, you take it out and remove the entire contaminated area.

Big problem with grinding both side of tungsten is if you goober up both sides. Now your collet is stuck on the torch and sometimes if you use a gas lens you can’t get that off either and now you’re trapped 😅

I do more stainless than I do aluminum, and typically when I dip in ss, the tungsten has no issue being flipped because it's generally just a little bit on the very tip. But when I dip on aluminum its pretty much always bigger and won't go in to use the other end like you showed.

I thought I was SO clever when I had the bright idea of sharpening both sides of the tungsten. Had a nice pack of new electrodes all pointed on both ends, dipped my tip. tried to turn it around and couldn't get past the collet, so I took the handle off, put the tungsten in from the back, and then dipped my tip again. Now I have to take the whole torch apart to replace the tungsten because I trapped the collet between two blobs. Sure. I could take the electrode with collet still on it to the grinder and free it up, but I left it in my toolbox as a reminder that I'm not always as smart as I think I am.

Aaron, one of the most difficult parts I have is when I do dip the tungsten and I remove and grind it, I can never get a nice weld after the fact. Something about the impurities or something just keeps coming back up in the puddle. How do you recover from dipping the tungsten in the puddle? Thanks!!

Good video, more like these would be good. I went to reply to you about the Vernier having the fractions but I couldn't see your reply to my comment after the preview that popped up. I've checked mine, it doesn't have fractions. I don't know if it's just not as expensive as yours or it's because almost nobody uses imperial measurements here in the UK. We use metric for just about everything except our road speed and road distances, I'm sure there is more but I can't think of it off the top of my head.

@@6061 I saw in the comment preview that you accidentally bumped it I just couldn't find your reply when I looked earlier. I didn't know they were cheap ones. It must just be that my German also cheapish ones aren't marketed at the USA or the other 2 countries who still use the imperial system. I do find it frustrating to watch some American channels when they talk in fractions then go on about freedom units and not understanding metric. I know you are still using imperial measurements but you obviously see using decimal places is easier than fractions. I was born in the year the UK switched to metric so growing up I was taught both as the country took a while to wean the older folk off imperial our rulers/tape measures still have both on over 50 years later, I'm not sure if mainland Europe is the same with their tools

@@6061 I weld on multiple types of metals with both AC and DC. My two principal electrodes are E3 and Thoriated. I use Ceriated in a very small diameter on very thin materials. At least for me, the E3 seems to work better with AC and the Thoriated seems to work better on DC. My standard practice is to have only one type of filler rod and electrode out at a time. Stubs go into scrap containers and are not reused. I very much enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. I especially like watching the fabrication videos as you go from blanks to finished product.

@@6061 The Thoriated electrodes are from Weldcote metals and Welding City. The Weldcote ones, I purchased from my local welding supply store. The Welding City ones are purchased online. The E3 are Best Welds and they are purchased from my local welding supply store. In both types I am using 1/16", 3/32" and 1/8" as needed for the amperage. The Ceriated are .040". As far as the difference, it is more qualitative than anything else. On DC the Thoriated seem to have a more defined arc and last longer before needing resharpening. It is the same on AC that the E3 show a better-defined arc and last longer before needing to be resharpened than the Thoriated. I also weld magnesium on AC using the E3. On DC, I am welding carbon steel, stainless steel, copper and titanium. I also do DC tig for brazing. hth
