JODY COLLIER Merry Christmas to you Jody and your family. I was running through posts in the forum and saw something about torch cables and how stiff they can be causing the torch to be kicked at an angle making it hard to hold the torch in the position you want without some force. Another person said you carried torch cables and the proper dinse connections on weldmonger. I have a miller diversion 180 and my torch is kicked to left really hard no matter how I lay the line it's just hard to turn the torch toward the the downward angle. What is your recommendation for a new cable and the connector if needed to make that torch feel supple in my hand. Or is there a way to adjust what I have in order to get a better feel out of the miller setup I paid 3200 buckaroos for. In hindsight I wish I would have known what I know now about the prime weld machines. But that's a topic for another post. I'm determined to learn to be a good welder on the miller 180. Thank you for your advice on the torch setup. I would like to upgrade and have that supple feeling torch angle.

Here's what I think is a good question. What can be done with the filler rod chunks after it gets down so short you can't feed it into the puddle? Brad Goodman

My miller 135 mig machine has started acting up and I'm not sure what this is all about. Sometimes the weld is full of holes and once I stop pulling the trigger the weld puddle will grow a snake deal like the old fireworks for kids, it's behaving like there's no gas. The nozzle is dirty I've tried to clean it up but it seems like maybe a new nozzle is in order. What cause this type of malfunction? Any answers would be helpful. Liner? Wire corrosion? Nozzle? Gas issue? See the large hole inside? Now I have to cut that out and get the weld in there correctly. But this is frustrating. Thank you welderskills JODY COLLIER

This question is for JODY COLLIER since I joined this forum after watching YouTube videos hoping to learn from you. I have a body shop and I make rust repair panels and weld with my millermatic 135 all the time. I have never been taught a single thing about welding and never really got better. I mean I can get away with mig welding but I want to Tig and grow my skills. So I have been practicing like you said running beads and I can't seem to do anything decent on steel but am able to find myself creating better and better welds on aluminum. I need to understand why even when I'm following your parameters for 1/8 steel my welds are grey and my heat affected area is huge having no thin edge I guess the cleaning action like on aluminum. I am a very beginner to Tig with that being said where can I get the information I need to weld steel better? Can you help me. Thank you for your time. A couple of pics one because if you can weld the blades that's cool and the other to show you my struggles in hopes for your point of view

I am getting shocked sitting at my welding table. It's clean I'm grounded well none of my cables are touching. I sit down position myself hit that foot pedal and wham I'm getting tickled where I'm resting my arm. What could be going on? Brad Goodman

4043 practice beads on 3/16 6061. It's what I have to practice on. Miller #17 torch 2% lanthanated tungsten, furick pro cup #8 balled tip from letting the tungsten do it's thing, 3/8 stick out, 165amps. Feeling pretty happy since this is my first go at this. Thanks to Jody for about 25 hours of watching his videos over and over every night here trying to learn. Any feed back would be welcome.

New to the page just signed up so that I could learn to Tig with my new miller 180 diversion. Sort of struggling to navigate the page and finding courses to teach me on practice techniques and so forth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
