TIG Welding Guide

Properly adding filler rod is critical to TIG weld quality. This video walks through proper TIG welding filler rod techniques, focusing on hand position, rod angle, and controlled feeding into the weld puddle. It covers both dabbing and continuous-feed methods, explains how to avoid contaminating the tungsten, and shows that keeping the filler rod within the argon gas shield improves weld quality and consistency. What you'll see: How to hold a TIG filler rod for smooth, controlled feeding Why filler rod angle affects weld puddle control What causes tungsten contamination and how to avoid it How dabbing and continuous feed techniques differ Why keeping filler within gas coverage improves weld quality Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to TIG filler rod technique 00:07 How to hold the filler rod 00:25 Proper filler rod angle 00:35 Feeding filler into the weld puddle 00:42 Dabbing technique explained 01:06 Continuous filler feeding technique 01:30 Importance of gas coverage Who this helps: This video helps welding professionals and welding supervisors looking to improve TIG weld consistency, reduce rework, and train newer welders on proper filler rod technique. #millerwelders #TIGwelding #weldingtips #fabrication For more welding tips and technique visit: https://www.millerwelds.com/resources/welding-guides/tig-welding-guide --------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE to Miller Welders on YouTube: http://bit.ly/MillerWeldersSubscribe CONNECT with Miller Welders: Website: http://bit.ly/MillerWelds Miller Forums: https://bit.ly/MillerWeldersForums Facebook: https://bit.ly/MillerWeldersFacebook Instagram: https://bit.ly/MillerWeldersInstagram X: https://x.com/millerwelders LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/MillerWeldersLinkedIn TikTok: https://bit.ly/MillerWeldersTikTok ABOUT Miller Electric Mfg.
