Looking through the gap

admin

Do many of you guys use the looking through the gap technique on your tig roots ?  I think I want to practice this method for tig rooting stainless and carbon.I see nothing but benefits from this.  You watch your root go in.  No more stopping and looking through the gap to be sure you are getting it in there,  you see it while you weld.    For the stainless I could just tape a clear lens over the root where im looking through.Journeyman / Red Seal Welder (What a useless test)Miller CST 280Miller XMT 350Miller 12vs XtremeEvolution Evo 28 mag drillEvolution 380 Dry Cut saw
