Sheet metal fabrication trick for tack welding using a tig welder. This works. Tack welding with a tig machine does not have to be slow.
By setting the tig welding machine up a certain way, you can tack like a laser welder….so this is like a down and dirty laser welder. Get done quicker, be more competitive, get to welding.

Thanks again for the informative video Jody. I have watched and learned from many of your videos but this video on speed tacking has really changed the game for me when tacking up 19 and 20 gauge sheet metal. Thanks again brother and keep up the great work!

I have been welding for the last 35 years everyday. And worn gloves about 3 times I hate gloves though sometimes I can smell my hands burning and think I should use glove but I get a better quality weld without lol

Jon Ryan says:

Hey Jody have you used the tack weld feature on the everlast welders before?

Travis Chenoweth says:

Thanks for the video. I'm a TIG novice, and I had a quick question. It appeared that you rested the tungsten on the steel surface. I was told by a welding teacher not to do that. Are there certain instances when it's okay? Love your channel.

Steve Friedlander says:

Separate question: I'm using an Everlast 200DV TIG. Setup is DCEN 100 amps, gas lens, #7 cup 2% Lanthanated. I'm running beads (6") after 4 beads the TIG GUN (25) is extremely hot. I wait about 30 seconds
