− | The tungsten should never touch the workpiece. | + | TIG stands for tungsten inert gas and is technically called gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The process uses a tungsten electrode located in a hand held torch that delivers the current to the welding arc. The tungsten and weld puddle are shielded and cooled with argon gas. A filler rod is used to manually add material to the weld puddle. During the welding process the tungsten should never touch the work piece. When this happens you will need to remove the tungsten and regrind the tip. Depending on the material being welded, TIG welding can be performed using either AC or DC current. Some of the advantages of this type of welding include strong high quality welds and many material options. One disadvantages of TIG welding is the speed is much slower compared to some of the other welding methods. |

| + | Here are some general setup rules of thumb: |
| + | *The CFH gas setting should be roughly 2x the weld cup size. If you were to use a #7 cup the gas flow should be set to 14 CFH. |
| + | *The tungsten stick-out from the cup should be no more than the cup diameter. Using a #7 cup would allow for a maximum tungsten stick-out of 7/16" |

| ====Demonstration==== | | ====Demonstration==== |
| | | |
− | Demonstrate you can safely setup the saw and rip a board. You will then proceed to cross cut one of the remaining pieces. Remember to set the blade height so it is protruding less than 1/8" out the top of material for less exposure. When performing a rip cut the fence is used to guide the lumber into the blade. You want to make sure that the distance between the fence and blade is the width of desired cut. Mark the edge of the material when doing a cross cut so you can align the material with the blade in the sled. You can also use a miter gauge for making cross cuts but make sure the material is long enough and well supported.
| + | The demonstration consists of two parts. For the first part you will need to setup the welder and safely attempt to weld a bead. The second part will require you to show knowledge of safely using the grinder and successfully grind a point on a tungsten rod. |
