Best Tig Rigs - Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding
Build and tune the best TIG rigs with proven know‑how
Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is the field‑tested reference behind the best TIG rigs—whether you’re outfitting a home bench or a production bay. Developed by CWIs and veteran TIG leads, it translates complex settings into clear, repeatable procedures for steel, stainless, and aluminum. Expect fewer variables, cleaner beads, and less scrap through disciplined setup and control.
Specify the right power source and torch, match tungsten and gas to the job, set AC balance, frequency, and pulse for precise fusion, and manage heat to minimize distortion. Inside: amperage and gas‑flow charts, cup and tungsten geometry, water‑cooling best practices, foot vs finger control guidance, and a practical troubleshooting playbook that turns defects into fast fixes and consistent, code‑ready results.
- Rig spec and setup: power, air/water‑cooled, torch, consumables.
- Precision parameters: amps, slope, frequency, AC balance, pulse logic.
- Technique and QA: torch angle, filler control, purge, defect diagnostics.
